More information on Boarding House
This centrally located fine-dining restaurant doubles as one of the most popular bars in town. It is in the same building as The Pearl and owned by the same couple, hostess Angela Raynor and chef Seth Raynor. You can dine in the romantic lower-level dining room or upstairs in the hopping bar area. But on clear summer nights, you'll want to get one of the tables outside on the patio. The menu has definite Asian and Mediterranean influences in dishes like the seared yellowfin tuna with sesame sushi rice cake and wasabi aioli. One of the best soups on Nantucket is the luxe double lobster chowder with fresh corn and truffle mousseline. But the signature dish is the classic gilled lobster tails with grilled asparagus, mashed potatoes, and champagne beurre blanc. The award-winning wine list offers a range of prices. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
