We are #SeriouslyStarving…

The Black Dog

Sound familiar? We can’t imagine why. While the culinary scene has expanded quite a bit on the island, the Black Dog has continued to be a favorite of many.

Crab Corn Chowder: Many ‘chowders’ or ‘bisques’ that we’ve tried before have the promise of a particular type of meat, like clams, lobster, etc. But this is one chowder that DOES not fail on this promise. One scoop, and suddenly Martha realizes that rather than a large kernel of corn on our spoon, it’s a chunk of crab meat. And another, and another, and another…

The Galley

Menemsha has seen its fair share of fires in the past few years, and one of those happen to be The Galley in 2007. Fortunately, it was rebuilt and reopened, into the exact same Galley that we all knew and loved. If the Vineyard could do its version of ‘fast-food’ (classy, but quick, and a ton of seafood of course), this establishment would be it.

Fish Filet Sandwich: Living on an island, Martha has tried numerous fish sandwiches, but The Galley’s has to take the cake. The fish tastes fresh and light, and it’s not overly fried (i.e. not drowned in batter), and topped with tartar sauce and lettuce, which ultimately gives you the best fish sandwich you will probably ever have.

Détente

For superb fine-dining in Edgartown, Détente is high on everyone’s list. Tucked away in Nevin Square, it’s an awesome place for intimate dining and special occasions. Want to know its secret? Half-priced food at the bar EVERYDAY on EVERY ITEM from 5:30 to 6:00. But get there early, there’s hardly a dozen seats at the bar and they fill up quick (how could they not, this is seriously one of the best deals ever!).  Jump on this while the peaches are still in season….

Peach Salad: While this item is an addition to their menu, it’s pretty common that it’s one of their specials and thank god for that. The peaches are covered with warm Taleggio cheese. Now you’re thinking, ‘cheese and fruit on together like that, really?’ But take our word for it; the combination will blow you away.

Park Corner Bistro

Transported to Europe whilst in Oak Bluffs, Martha Vineyard? It can happen. With Park Corner Bistro as your enabler of course. Small-plates (i.e. perfect portions) of gourmet fare, that will make anyone’s budget happy. Martha loves going here for an intimate and wonderful dinner in OB.

#CantGetEnoughOf…

Truffle Tots: Gnocchi fried with truffle oil. No, you’re not dreaming. While the word ‘tots’ may induce thoughts of the horrific lunch lady hurdling them onto your tray during lunchtime at your elementary school; don’t be frightened. These are tots for grown-ups.
