20bynine - Oak Bluffs

Our two appetizers were delicious...ricotta cheese with bacon jam, juicy tomatoes and toasts, and hearts of salad covered with an interesting sauce. The disappointing dish was the special steak: Although well flavored, it was extremely hard and there were no steak knives to cut it. I'm sorry that an otherwise lovely dinner ends.

Drink only rating: 5/5. I'm not sure how many other cocktail bars are on the island, but that's the next thing we could find that was similar to what we're experiencing in the Chicago cocktail scene. The drink was fantastic and the bartender was super nice and knowledgeable. I also heard great things about the food!

Best drinks we've ever had. Great bartender. Perfect portions with inventive selection.

We are late here (parent day outside, long day, needed a nap before dinner! and asked if we could get food, the staff was courteous though it was a Saturday night after I was sure a long day. A table that opened so that we were immersed and the food was not disappointed. I got the beet salad and it was a taste explosion. Husband got the burger and said he had the best on weekends (of 4 burgers on weekends). The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We also enjoyed our cocktails French 75 (my favorite, hard to find!, Paper Plane, and Whiskey Daisy. So delicious. We definitely do this place regularly on our Martha's Vineyard trips!

This restaurant is the top choice on Martha's Vineyard, and possibly one of the best in the northeast. The lobster fritters were perfectly cooked and not dry at all. The Bluefish Pate was fantastic. The outdoor seating is great for people watching, but the inside has a cozy atmosphere with old-fashioned pendant light bulbs providing warm, low lighting. The best drink was the last boat, but all the drinks were well-balanced and delicious. Don't hesitate to ask the bartender for recommendations.
