    I really hate to rate them less than outstanding, but they were slightly off this visit. I want to say up front, this is a fantastic experience. I'm usually one of the best restaurants on Coastal Highway. The dinner special meal, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday for $29 is an excellent deal. The atmosphere, service, and food are usually top-notch. Our server didn't tell us about Happy Hour or the Dinner Special. When other tables came in, their server explained everything in detail. When we asked, he apologized and said, "Oh my bad, I should have started with that." Our order was already in except for drinks, so it was too late to change. My wife really enjoyed her meal, but my Lambchops, ordered rare to medium rare, were medium to well done. Our server did ask about our meals, taste, temperatures, etc, as I could've sent it back, but rarely do. They were tasty, but if you like rare or medium rare, you don't care for medium or well.The last thing was we asked for boxes. Just before leaving we looked at the takeout, and my wife's asparagus was not in the bag. Our server said he put it in with my Lambchops. My wife hasn't eaten meat in more than 30 years.He never asked if it was ok to put the vegetables in with meat from a different meal and seemed taken back that she said I'm a Pesctarian and won't eat that. He later apologized and brought us another side of asparagus. Please don't get me wrong, We highly recommend Nantucket's as one of the best restaurants on Costal Highway going from Lewes Delaware to Ocean City Maryland. These comments are just an honest critic of one visit, but every other visit has been 5 star Outstanding!

    Food was marginal - nothing special, Lobster Shepard's Pie was over seasoned and over priced. Could not taste the lobster thru whatever seasoning was on top. Menu never changes and seafood choices are not very appealing. Service was lacking - felt like we were a bother to our server.

    Nantucket has always been a favorite place. The portions of food have become amazingly small- I had a crab cake and it was the size of a golf ball and so were all of them at our table.

    I am one of those who were fortunate enough to have returned to this popular destination off season. We locals are aware of the best places to patronize when most of the tourists are snug at home. While Nantucket's easily has the best selection of offseason specials. I was determined to try their rib eye. It was fabulous and not that I was in a hurry but it was out while it was still sizzling. The seating and wait staff are always so pleasant and helpful and the room is actually quiet enough for conversation unlike the big crab houses. Of course there is no sales tax in Delaware and despite ordering one of the most expensive items on the menu I was very pleased with the value of the meal. I am going to hurry back to try each of the six or seven fabulous off season specials. Have you ever tried Bouillabaisse?

    Every one had a different entree and appetizer which they really enjoyed. The wine selection was very good.
