Chilmark Tavern

The atmosphere upon entering was nice and the seating was comfortable. The food was served promptly and timed well. Our server was not rude, but lacked friendliness. It seemed like we were the last guests of the evening at 8pm, and I understand that the season is ending soon, but if I'm paying $67 for a steak, I expect it to be seasoned properly. However, the house butter was exceptional and deserves a star on its own.

This restaurant is fantastic for casual dining, both indoors and outdoors. Although their menu may be limited, there is surely something to satisfy your taste buds. The lively bar area offers delicious specialty cocktails that are simply delightful.

We were excited to sit outside under the lights and enjoy the atmosphere at this restaurant. Make a reservation with Resy. Everything Up-Island is BYOB, so this place is not a traditional tavern. We were surprised to find a $5 fee to rent a frosted beer glass for BYOB, in addition to the cork fee increasing from $12 to $14. Bread is available for an extra $6, but it was not tasty or warm. Despite having hungry children and waiting 45 minutes past our reservation time, there was no children's menu available. The menu was limited, there were no specials, and the service was lacking in hospitality. The food portions were small and not worth the high prices. We were disappointed by the lack of variety compared to previous visits. Additionally, a 25% gratuity is automatically added to parties of 5, and a 5% kitchen appreciation fee is included, which has impacted the service quality. Overall, the prices were too high, even for Martha's Vineyard standards.

Stopped spontaneously on the way back from the magnificent sunset at the cliffs!! I would definitely recommend having a reservation here. Plan ahead. We waited 45 min, but decided that was the best option as we were starving and the menu was inviting. Note, Chillmark is a dry community so you are welcomed to bring in your own wine or Liquor. In fact, they sell lovely cocktail mixers you just provide the main ingredient! Love this notion, everyone seemed to have brought in their own spirits. A little on the pricier side, but the ingredients are farm to table FRESH. We both ordered the Vegan noodles dish and it was outstanding. Great flavor, not heavy in thick sauce or salt/seasoning, it was very good. The Burrata appetizer was also delicious, but go ahead and ask for more bread. Not sure why only two little slices come with, when 4 5 slices supports the serving amount. Our waitress was super nice but seemed overwhelmed service was slow and she forgot a couple of things a couple of times. All and all a lovely place. Great atmosphere sit outside, if you can!

We had a great dinner, sat outside on the porch, service was very good and so was the food. First time here and will definitely return. We started with the mussels, which were delicious!
