It was a quiet Sunday night after Labor Day weekend was over so the restaurant was practically empty. We were greeted warmly and seated in a lovely table where a basket enticed us with the aroma of warm breads. A light & scrumptious Pinot Noir...(forgot the name. Sorry.) accompanied my Linguine con le Vongole that was cooked to perfection...just enough garlic, and a few little pea shoots on top. The clams were local cockles...so tiny and tender. My husband had the halibut;also perfect. Don't miss the dessert -- Creme Brulee. Heaven on a spoon!More

The Service was quite fast cause we were the only ones there in a timely manner and it the Sea Bass was delicious as a special

The restaurant was closed earlier in the year, frustrating some, but now it’s open and not be missed. We had a fabulous experience on our visit. The restaurant was quiet, as the tables were only about 25% occupied. But even at full capacity the three...meal rooms each had only a few tables, so it will never be noisy. The ambiance is quaint and old fashioned with wood beams, an old fireplace, and nice pictures. The former residence dates back to 1709, 50 years after Nantucket was first settled by English speaking people. The waiter was cheerful and outgoing, and did a wonderful job explaining the menu. We started with some wine, which left the bottle about 1/4 filled. We joked that he should leave the rest of the bottle for us... which he did. We split a tasty Caesar salad, which was more than ample. My girlfriend couldn’t even finish her portion. We ordered the Bolognese and Sea Scallops over lobster risotto. My girlfriend said it was the best meal she had ever had and my sea scallops were moist and tender, an excellent meal. Be sure to check out the bathroom. It is truly unique. The last time I was here many years ago, the restaurant was called the Woodbox. It is as charming now as it was then. The only thing I wish for is that they reintroduce the popovers and beef Wellington that the old Woodbox was known for. We had gone to another restaurant in the family, the Summer House, a few days earlier. 29 Fair was far superior, despite the wonderful ambiance of The Summer House.More

We made a reservation for dinner on July24th through open table. We got a confirmation email and reminder of reservation. When we got to the restaurant it was closed!!!!! No one was there!!! Luckily we found Ships Inn, which is an amazing restaurant!! We will...NEVER give our business to this restaurant or The Summer House.More

My honey and I enjoyed breakfast here a few weeks back when new management and ownership were bringing in a new energy and chef.. We enjoyed it. Based on their advertised New Year's Eve Prefix, chose them again to dine. Overall, the experience was positive....Very cozy and relaxing environment. The three course menu, as advertised, delicious. From the butternut squash soup, bibb salad, lobster tail and filet and lamb, to the tiramasu and banana cake. My only constructive criticism would be of having more staff based on the reservations for New Year's Eve. Chef Pedro and the young lady were running the whole space. Best wishes in 2019. We will be back for breakfast and dinner.More

This place was one of our favorites when it was the Woodbox.New chef/owner working very hard to make a go of it. Good food. Service was slow but worth the wait.

We had an average meal, and very nice service. Not memorable, or unusual. There were only a few tables taken, and very loud. Will skip this one next year!
