Unsanitary working conditions and unclean food workers resulted a norovirus outbreak at the Chapel Hill establishment this very month. Google and become educated. Let the restaurant patron beware!

Went here with family/friends before graduation in Chapel Hill. Location is great since it is right off I-40. The desserts here are the biggest I have ever seen. The cost is about $7 per dessert, and they are absolutely shareable. We were a big group, and the server handled us adequately. As for the taste of the food, I'd only... More

This is the third time I have visited this restaurant, and each time has been consistent as far as service and atmosphere. The bathrooms need an overhaul, so if you bring hand sanitizer you could possibly avoid those. Our server was very polite and attentive. One of the better parts of this restaurant is the cafe - the cakes and... More

We had a large party and great service - friendly server and very attentive.It was graduation weekend and we were seated immediately at our reservation time. Prime rib and tilapia were very good. Wasn't crazy about the sea bass or the calamari - good but not great. Dessert was amazing.

Nantucket Grill was recommended by the hotel as "a five star restaurant with Ruby Tuesday prices" and they were right! The food was incredible, and the prices and portions were very reasonable. And the desserts!!!

Bar food with a bar food type menu. Typical atmosphere, TV's, bars, etc. Wife had a burger and enjoyed it, but I tried the Turkey Cranberry Sandwich. Processed turkey should be outlawed. I should have known better!

A friend suggested that we eat dinner here one Saturday eveing. It is right off of HWY 40 E. Easy off, easy on. The restaurant is in the same building as a bank and on the 2nd floor of the building. When you walk in there is a bar and the place looks a little low key however, the food... More

Outstanding restaurant. I go off the menu and get a "lobster salad" - costs more but worth every penny. Just ask for a lobster roll without the roll but with added lobster. Also a reasonable selection of wines and beers.

The food was delicious. My daugther and I ate dinner there twice. Their chicken was great and the cakes are unbelievable! You won't be disappointed.
