While we have given you a great head start on finding your own special place among Nantucket's long list of restaurants, consider yourself morally and gastronomically obliged to do your own research. We've included the following pricing codes as guidelines in helping you decide where to dine. The key is based on the average price of dinner for two, excluding appetizers, alcoholic beverages, dessert, tax, and tip. Get a window table and people-watch while you enjoy your food. We suggest you try the surf 'n' turf.
Children have their own menu.
Arno's is open year-round. We find ourselves coming back to this casual, congenial place time and again whenever we're on Nantucket because we know we'll always get a great meal at a reasonable price. The waiters and waitresses are super-friendly, and children are welcomed here with high chairs and a children's menu. Popular menu items include seafood dishes such as scallops, swordfish, and fried clams, and hearty appetizers such as nachos and fried zucchini sticks. In Nancy Thayer's novel Belonging , which is set on Nantucket, the sophisticated, affluent heroine Joanna Jones dines twice at The Boarding House.
