Description:

  • This 1850 restaurant -- part of a secluded resort -- is tastefully subdued, with wicker armchairs, splashes of chintz, and a two-tailed mermaid to oversee a chill-chasing fire. Try to sit at one of the cozy banquettes if you can. The menu features the finest regional cuisine: Lobster is a major event (it's often sautéed with champagne beurre blanc), and be on the lookout for unusual delicacies such as arctic char. Those are Gruyère-and-chive biscuits in the breadbasket, and you must try one. Other recommendable house specialties include the lobster-and-crab-cakes appetizer and the roasted Muscovy duck breast. Desserts are fanciful and fabulous: Consider the toasted brioche with poached pears and caramel sauce. The Wauwinet runs a complimentary launch service from mid-June to mid-September to the restaurant for lunch and dinner; it leaves from Straight Wharf at 11am and 5pm, takes 1 hour, and also makes the return trip.

    Expensive for the Fare

  • The Wauwinet Inn is worth the excursion if you are on Nantucket - a beautiful setting and a luxurious hotel. Lunch at Topper's though is an expensive outing for average fare....

    Overpriced for mediocre food

  • The boat ride from the White Elaphant was the draw to this restaurant. We were very disappointed. Serving size was small which if it was excellent would warrant a high price on this...
