We walked into Nantucket Grill and were impressed right away. The sleek but casual ambiance was immediately appealing. John declared “the lighting is killing me in here,” but Roshen and I were unperturbed by the dim look. We were seated next to the daunting dessert case, which was filled with cakes, cupcakes and cheesecakes. We knew then that we wanted a slice of the mile-high German chocolate cake for dessert. Before dessert though, we needed to eat some dinner. I ordered the chicken wrap, Roshen ordered the seafood pasta, and John ordered the New England fish sandwich. We considered ordering the fried calamari as an appetizer, but we decided we had enough food. We definitely weren’t hungry for an appetizer after eating the complimentary fried bread and butter. This was probably the most delicious bread I’ve ever tasted, and we would have asked for more if our main meal hadn’t arrived so quickly. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our main courses, especially the crispy french fries that came on the side. The German chocolate cake was also delicious and free! Our waitress refused to charge us for our cake even when we reminded her, and she wouldn’t accept a tip, which made it a much cheaper meal than anticipated. The one downside to Nantucket Grill is the temperature. You better bring a heavy jacket if you don’t want to leave as an icicle.
