Captain's Table

The Captains Table

The best place table on Nantucket just got better. The Captain’s Table (Captain Nemo, The Nautilus, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, get it?) - our large, live edge wood dining table nestled into the front corner of our lively hole in the wall restaurant, shining with its beautiful coat of lacquer, beckoning the thirsty and hungry like an oasis in the Sahara while whole roasted ducks and 30oz ribeyes are shared and cocktail porrons and magnums of wine are passed from left to right in a frenzy of laughter amid a backdrop of lively… well you get the idea!

Join us this season at the Captain’s Table, where we will be giving parties of 2 to 11+ the chance to reserve the best table on island for one of two extended time slots.

• Reservations available one month in advance (vs our standard 7 days in advance)
• Ideal for groups of 2 people to 11 people *(see additional group size notes below)
• All reservations are subject to variable food & beverage minimums (see below)
• Perfect for any reason... large parties, intimate gatherings, casual get togethers or super special occasions!
• 2 seatings per night allow each group to have up to three hours on the table
• Concierge level pre-dining communication on request to help you pre-select food and wines

Sounds too good to be true? Well it ain’t. We’re doing it. Pulling out the stops to make one of the hardest to get tables on island that much more of an experience.
We fancy.
You’re welcome.
Come get a taste. 

Seatings

• The Sunsetter: The table is yours from 5:30pm to 8:15pm. Arrive at 5:30 and enjoy the entire time, or come fashionably late for a shorter dinner. It’s your choice as long as we are wishing you on your way at 8:15pm. 

• The All Nighter: 8:30pm onwards for the rest of the night. Last food orders must be in by 10pm (later on weekends), but otherwise feel free to hang and keep the cocktails flowing for as long as you like (well until 1am) - heck at some point we’ll even let you pick the music.
