    Delicious dinner-I got the turkey dinner and my companion got the prefix fish dinner which came with a salad and dessert. Service was excellent. I love Nantucket the best when it’s not crazy busy!

    I have been to Island Kitchen many times and we always love it but last night was below par. Service was not good. And food wasn't either. There was a special of filet mignon. It was not tender and it was dry which is unusual for filet, plus it was not medium rare which I requested. I don't know what was wrong but I hope it will be corrected

    We go to Island Kitchen for brunch, but I haven't been to dinner in awhile. I took my Mom for her birthday and it was the perfect ambiance, meal, and service. I have no complaints. Our waitress was lovely and helpful as was the whole staff. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were good (could have been cooked a little longer). Mom had the Veal and I have the IK steak with fries instead of mashed potatoes. SO SO SO GOOD! The steak was tender and sides and sauces delicious. We only had water, so everything together with tip was a little over $100.00. Not bad for Nantucket! I love this place and love going!

    Five friends enjoyed a leisurely dinner out on the porch. The food was delicious. Definitely would recommend the halibut and scallops.

    Always enjoy dining at IK. Service was fine despite only 2 servers. No problems. We enjoyed casual atmosphere and of course the food. Thank you!

    We had an outstanding meal here! Loved sitting on the cozy porch with heaters. The food was wonderful. Several of us had the veal and thought it was amazing! Halibut was also great! Service was fantastic. We took two young children, which was fine for the porch but would not recommend inside.

    Very familiar with the restaurants in downtown Nantucket. The scallops were fresh and cooked properly. Good food and good service at this mid Island restaurant.

    Steak made to order. They accommodated my food allergies beautifully. Husband had the halibut and said it was very good. The wait staff was amazing.
