Looking for the perfect dinner spot on Martha’s Vineyard? Look no further than Beach Road, a top-rated restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. Located conveniently on the Vineyard, this restaurant is easy to get to and offers stunning views, especially during sunset.
During my visit, I was warmly welcomed by my waitress, Christiana, who was not only personable but also made excellent recommendations. Her service truly elevated the evening.
I started my meal with the cast iron cornbread, which was well worth the 15-minute wait. Moist and flavorful, it came with sea salt and honey butter that complemented the dish perfectly. For my first drink, I chose the Picante Hour, a tequila cocktail with a spicy kick—perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their drinks.
The Spanish octopus I had as an appetizer was outstanding, easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The octopus was perfectly cooked, and the salsa bravas sauce added a delightful depth of flavor. For my entrée, I enjoyed the Atlantic cod, which was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with parsnip cream and roasted baby carrots.
Although I was too full to try the butterscotch whiskey pudding, it’s definitely on my list for my next visit. I ended the meal with an espresso martini, which was a perfect blend, especially with the addition of Baileys.
Beach Road is a must-visit for anyone on Martha’s Vineyard. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with a view, this restaurant should be at the top...
Read moreWe had a great time at Beach Road: the view is spectacular, the service is attentive, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is good. We got the rather filling focaccia and the top-notch tempuras which was served piping hot, fresh, and light. A delight.
For the main course, I got the bouillabaisse, which has light - but tasty - broth and some mussels, lobster, a langoustine, and some clams. I wish there were fish, as the marseillais serve it, and fewer mussels (nice but not upscale). The soup came with a tasty toasted bread creatively spread with rouille. The rouille itself lacked some zinger but I did enjoy the dish which brought back some memories from home.
My date got the pasta and lobster. Although the lobster and pasta were reportedly very tasty, the sauce was super garlicky which forced her to get some maalox later on. It was also a particularly generous pasta serving, we could not finish it. After that, there was no room for desert. Next time.
For drinks, I thoroughly enjoyed a grapefruit thief and a decent rosé provençal. My date got the aligoté which was fine. Some prices are absurd, such as $52 for a bottle of 2021 Muscadet, a well known bad year for a wine which is known as being cheap and cheerful.
Anyhow, we got a great time and we’ll...
Read moreMy four friends and I went to the restaurant for our first meal at Martha’s Vineyard. We were greeted and seated. After we received water, a gentleman came to the table and asked if we had a reservation? We replied we did not and he apologetically said he needed to ask us to move because he thought we were the party with the reservation. We were never asked if we had a reservation, we were just seated. We left the restaurant, the same gentleman came running behind us to say he has a table for us. We were seated, again and place our order for dinner (the waitress was great). Three of us ordered the Blue Swimmer Crab, which was described as lump crab, there was one piece of lump crab in the dish, it had more fillers than lump crab and the shrimp tempura was just okay.
On our second day in Martha’s Vineyard we went to Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company and the food was superb from the starters, the cocktails and the entree. Simply delicious! My recommendation is go to Martha’s Vineyard...
