About the Nantucket restaurant directory
The directory covers the restaurants open on Nantucket this season. For each one we record the menu the restaurant itself publishes, every dish, description and price as printed, along with the wine list where there is one, and check it weekly. Restaurant pages show the full menu, a price ribbon that places the restaurant against the island-wide distribution, and a map pin.
Prices are never estimated. A restaurant that publishes a menu without prices is listed with its dishes but no numbers, and a restaurant with no readable menu is listed with its address, hours and cuisine only. For island-wide comparisons, such as the cheapest lobster roll or the most gluten-free options, the AI guide and the Island Guides draw on the same data.
