We had a couple of hours for lunch in Edgartown having arrived by car ferry as part of our organized motor coach tour of the New England fall foliage tour. On our lobster roll quest we stopped at a restaurant where they posted out of lobster rolls. Now what. It's shoulder season and many establishments are closed for the season. We walked up the block and noticed Rockfish. Lucky for us they were opened. The five of us were led upstairs to the dining room/bar. Right away we spotted lobster rolls on the menu. Our server said good choice as they're known for the best lobster rolls. Hubby wanted mussels. He suggested he & I split a lobster roll and the mussels. The mussels were served in a nice kettle with four wedges of buttered toast. Very fresh. Then he split the lobster roll. It was delicious. So sweet. I wished I had my own. The lobster meat was very delicate compared to the ones we had in Boston & Plymouth. If you're contemplating having a lobster roll here you can't go wrong. We had a great server. She was very professional and very friendly.
Needed to stop for a bite before I catch the bus back to the ferry. This place was so good! We were seated upstairs by the window with a nice view of the street. Vaso our waiter was friendly and helpful in making our selections. For an appetizer we had the poke tuna nachos it was huge. Hubby ordered the cold lobster roll which was one of the best we had! I had the cod with crumbled truffle crumbs and a salad mix. So pleased we stopped by this gem!
Such great food in edgartown! The pasta is amazing and the calamari was so yummy and crispy and I loved the fried banana peppers. Everything also came out very quickly and I would definitely return.
Awesome spot for a drink and snack after wandering the town and hitting the famous lighthouse. Go upstairs and sit at the bar. They have a happy hour. Food is great. We had the tuna poke tacos and on recommendation from the awesome girl behind the bar, didn't catch her name but said she was from Serbia, who knew, the truffle risotto balls were awesome. Definitely recommend. Look forward to visiting again when in town.
The sautéed lobster roll is worth the hype! Stick to that and the fries and you will not be disappointed. I could not believe the amount of lobster that was in there and the taste was phenomenal! My friend got the beet salad with a crab cake and was disappointed it was mainly filler and didn't recommend. We were there between lunch and dinner time and the service was nothing to rave about. Place was pretty empty but not much else was open at 4pm in the area. Go for the lobster roll! It was better than Nancy's!
A must stop to grab a drink and have a great meal and good vibes. Had the bourbon blackberry purée which I was under of, but after a few sips it grew on me and finished it up. Switched to a white wine after. The clam chowder was probably the best I had all week, creamy, light, and flavorful. Oh my that Lobster Roll. 10/10, huge portion fully packed with large chucks and you can taste how fresh it is. I went with the cold version and my wife went with the sautéed hot one...both were wonderful, I'd stick with the cold. Service was good, bartender provided good insight and engaging.
Thank you so much Rockfish hostess. Due to lack of sleep and reschedule ferry crossing, I needed to get a pizza and salad to go back to our inn. Then I realized I had no milk in room for much needed coffee. The lovely hostess put some milk in a plastic container for me. The chicken bbq pizza was amazing. The thin crust was puffy and crisp. The golden beet salad was a nice healthy side for both of us.
Got here just in time ! Shops and restaurants are starting to open up for the season so we had the island all to ourselves. Although It was a bit nippy, we enjoyed the sunshine during our walks through the sleepy towns - spotted Rockfish and because I was craving a lobster roll - in we came ! The roll was delicious, my husband's fish and chips crunchy and flavorful- our gracious server was HCristina (think I spelled that right) from Serbia and she was just charming and fabulous! Great meal and wonderful service!
