Brass Lantern Restaurant

The restaurant scene on Nantucket is dynamic – at the beginning of each season we see new restaurants opening and, at the end of each season, some restaurants close and fade from memory. One of Nantucket’s best restaurants, and one of our favorites, the Centre Street Bistro, has stood the test of time and remains a Nantucket icon.

The Centre Street Bistro, located at ?? Centre Street, has an intimate dining room with that seats about twenty diners and an additional sixteen seats on the patio in fine weather; in season, reservations are always recommended. The restaurant is BYOB so you can bring your favorite wine, which they will serve, with your dinner. On a recent evening with friends, we enjoyed Bistro Shrimp Pad Thai, Risotto, Seared Salmon and Beef Tenderloin – their menu is a pleasure to read, the descriptions mouth-watering and the preparations, perfect!

The restaurant is open for year round for lunch and dinner and serves a fabulous brunch on Sundays. The food is fresh, varied and beautifully prepared and presented, and the servers are friendly and knowledgeable. The patio is pet friendly and the Centre Street Bistro is at the top of our list for restaurant suggestions for our guests and a personal favorite.
