Straight Wharf

Frommer's Review

New chef/owners, Amanda Lydon and Gabriel Frasca, have turned long-established Straight Wharf into the must-get reservation on the island. This is fine dining on the waterfront in the center of town. Make your reservation for 8pm on the outside deck so you can watch the sun set over the harbor. Straight Wharf has long been known for its creative cuisine, and also as the place where the island's top chefs hang out after their shifts. While the menu changes to reflect the best available ingredients, one special item to look for is the watermelon gazpacho, which may be the perfect chilled summer treat. Everyone loves Straight Wharf's "clambake," which includes corn pudding, littlenecks, and lobster. In fact, you can't go wrong with seafood here (or just about anything else on the menu), including the cherished smoked bluefish pâté.
