Cru Nantucket Reviews
Quality food with a great view!
Incredible view of the Bay and boats , for our three day visit is the best food weโve had since weโve been here. Voted number one by our family as the hot lobster roll butter goes going back tomorrow again. Also is a must to have the pistachio de
Came for a drink and oysters on the patio before our dinner
Came for a drink and oysters on the patio before our dinner reservation. Drinks were lovely and so were the oysters. Grover served us and was great! Rest of the staff were great. Only issue was the man at the host stand who was just so unnecessarily
The reviews seem all over the board here.
I had a fabulous experience. We made a reservation for a Saturday night, arrived early and were seated right away. Our server was friendly, attentive, informative and gave us room to enjoy. We sat in the room without the bar and the vibe was loud and
Hideous menu for dinner.
... Small and over priced for what you're getting even for Nantucket.

Got a late table and we were super excited about dinner after all the hype. HUGE disappointment. Service was horrible and it felt like we were being completely ignored. Hamachi and crab leg app, very good, steak and duck frite top notch, all VERY
CRU NANTUCKET - very popular and VERY EXCELLENT seafood restaurant !!
Located waterfront on the wharf, Cru Nantucket is an excellent seafood restaurant in Old Town. Reservations are a must (though numerous bar seats are available on a first come first serve basis). On most nights, the restaurant is packed and lively, a

If ever there was a tourist trap on Nantucket, this would be it. The food is just okay but certainly not worth the price. However, this is all over Instagram as THE place to eat on the island. However, aesthetics don't overrule taste. It's
this was a pretty delightful meal.
I tried 3 items. The house brioche & two pasta dishes: lobster cannelloni which was very unique. It's not often where you have a pasta like that and the moist taste of the poached lobster along with the sauce and baby turnips were the perfec
Hip restaurant with great food!
Best place on island for a scene and great food. Very hip and lively . Get the crucumber and lobster roll. The duck fat potato is great too . The crab pasta is delicious but very small and pricey .
Perfect waterside meal
Didnโt know you were support make reservations months in advance luckily got into line over 30 min before opening to be able to secure a seat! I had local Nantucket oystersโ best I had our whole trip! The fluke fish that our waiter Louie suggest
Great harbor views, great lobser rolls
Cru is difficult to reserve. Many line up on the street for walk-in tables upon opening. Many tables have wonderful harbor views. Inside it is noisy which is good for young families but not great for conversations. The lobster roll with duck fat fr
Incredible dinner at CRU
Cru is a fabulous restaurant on Nantucket. Friendly staff and the food and outside dining experience was excellent! Wait time was very short . Good ambience and would highly recommend recommend to anyone visiting Nantucket.
If you donโt go to Cru did you even go to Nantucket?
Cru continues to be the hot spot on Nantucket and the food and service are great. Known for the seafood , shellfish towers, oysters for sure but the steak and pasta was also 10 out of 10. Sunset alfresco dining with great music and vibes. Do not miss

Amazing raw bar - loved the oysters and the raw clams (I much preferred the littleneck over the cherry but both were great). We also got lobster Cobb salads which were pretty average and a side of fries with Calabrian chili which were pretty good. Th
Food is fantastic.
I got the lobster roll with butter and she got the crab pasta. Both were amazing. Only downside is it is so loud you can't have any conversation and your brain will hurt.
Very nice meal starting with champagne for our anniversary.
Great service and delicious meal-we enjoyed the summer pasta and the halibut. Really great and attentive service. Only drawbacks would be a little snug table (people kept encroaching to adjust the fan behind us but were practically sitting on our tab

The food is really good but the customer service is terrible. We had to flag down our waitress for everything! The issue is they put 20% automatically on the bill so no one works for there money. Portion sizes are very small for the price.
LOVED it here.
Had a 930 resy on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Waited half hour for our table but we loved it here! Lobster roll, pastas, salad, drinks were great

We showed up without a reservation and were able to sit and have appetizers and drinks in the back bar area. Delicious smoked fish pate and salad with ahi tuna. Friendly and helpful servers. We've seen some mixed reviews of CRU recently but o
Local Seafood at its Finest!
Incredibly awesome locale for lunch or afternoon drinks, featuring outstanding local fresh seafood and beautiful cocktails. Add in their extensive and comprehensive wine list, and you have a perfect setting for enjoying fresh local oysters on the h
Cru review
The lobster roll is the best with warm butter and caviar. The views are incredible. The service is fast and the atmosphere is wonderful.The cru cumber cocktail was so refreshing!
Best lunch on the island
The food is amazing and so is the atmosphere, They book up so youโll need a reservation. We went for lunch with our two young kids. They liked the fish and chip and the clam chowder (although they donโt serve oyster crackers with it - seems like
Fun evening
3rd visit to Nantucket and 3rd visit to Cru! Went on resy at 10am on June 1 (earliest opportunity) to secure a July reservation as many people say it is very hard to get in without. We both had the lobster roll which was delicious. Service was good e
Still has its magic!
We ate at Cru three times during our annual visit to the island. It still retains much of its magic both as the place "to be" with food that often rises to similar heights. Everyone in (or outside) the restaurant seems to be very pleased wi

I attended CRU restaurant during the bar hours (8pm- 12pm).
I was a male at the restaurant looking to buy drinks for some friends (Female & male) and the bartender denied me from buying a drink because he thought I looked mean. (I am a white male). They were very disrespectful and prevented me from orderi

My main issue is the COMPLETE lack of respect or consideration for visitors time. If I could give a negative number for this alone - I would. NO amount of ambiance or food quality excuses it for me. When we asked regarding the wait, the greeter sai
Cru is a Must Visit When Coming to ACK
You know you're on island when you're at Cru. The service is always exceptional, the people/yacht watching is second to none, the warm lobster roll has been and still is the best in ACK, the oyster selection is vast, the crab salad with fried chicpe

I love oysters, and CRU had the absolute best oysters I've ever tried. Nantucket is known for their seafood, and this may be the best establishment to try them. The price is correspondent with the degree of friendly and knowledge service they provide
Cru is the "it" spot on Nantucket.
You can drive your boat up and park, but call the harbor master first. Parking is not free. We sat outside this time. I have sat indoors before and they keep the doors open and the breeze is incredible, as it is right on the water. The servers are ve
Was there for late lunch.
Limited menu (1/2 the menu is alcohol). Food and service were average - not worth the cost or 45 minute wait.
Gratuity included but poor service!
Really great lobster roll and menu in general. As soon as the server realized we werenโt ordering a bottle of wine at lunch and only got a couple beers, she stopped paying attention to us. She would literally help the table next to us (so close I c
Donโt miss !
The team at CRU is always hustling to make sure you have the best experience. We enjoyed excellent wine, oysters, burgers, shrimp cocktail, soups and bread. Come to CRU if you want to be treated like a VIP and see how itโs done right in ACK !
Omgosh! I have never been so embarrassed.
We stopped at the hostess stand and asked if we could go to the bar . She told us yes. We got to the bar. I had a bottle of water that I placed on the bar. A lady patron next to me informed me that the restaurant did not allow outside beverages a

I truly hate it when restaurants wonโt seat you until your entire party shows up, especially when the entrees are $50 or more.
outrageouy expensive.
Entrees more than $50. And yet they won't seat you until everyone in your party shows up. Tacky. And insulting.
Tons of great seafood options, the food was good but not
Tons of great seafood options, the food was good but not the best on the island. The farmers salad was probably my fav- simple, fresh- I did find it as too heavily dressed but it was a glutinous salad. The oysters were fresh although I found them sup
Great location and lobster rolls.
We stopped in for lunch on a cool, drizzly day for lunch. Loved the location and were seated in the back bar area right by windows, which we enjoyed. The place was busy and the tables all occupied. I guess we were lucky to walk in without reservat
Not one of the โPretty People.โ
This was recommended to us by a family member, and though we enjoyed our (very expensive) meals (Parker House rolls - $16; REALLY??), the atmosphere was โcold.โ We did not feel particularly welcomed, though our waiter was pleasant. It appears

I wish there were zero stars -been going here since Ropewalk days. this place now caters to ferry trade and billionaires alike. so yesterday for over 160 dollars-my daughter got 3 squash ravioli and a martini, I got 1/2 dozen local oysters and a cup

Great service.

4.5 stars I round to 5. Love the raw bar, drinks, ambience, location, and service. Their lobster roll is unreal too - our server said best on the island and it did not disappoint. (don't bother with the mussels though. It's just okay.)
Great for a drink that's about it as view is scenic.
Food very average and waaay over priced. $15 for rolls and butter, $32 for a burger , $20 for clam chowder Hey if you want to pay 2-3X more than everywhere else go for it.
Amazing cocktails and unmatched views.
The back bar is the best! Food was incredible - the lobster pasta dish was the best
Connect with users posting reservations for Cru Nantucket
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Cru Nantucket. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Cru Nantucket at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Cru Nantucket page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Cru Nantucket to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $5 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Cru Nantucket!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
