With the harbor gently lapping at its doorstep and the island’s most luxurious yachts docked just outside, the Ropewalk enjoys one of the best locations on Nantucket. The boating crowd populates this clubby, open-air restaurant where seafood is the specialty. The raw bar here is considered one of the island’s best, and the always-hopping bar is tops for drinks with a view.
