Lookout Tavern Review

There are two things about this easygoing Oak Bluffs seafood joint that make it stand out. First, its rustic dining room affords direct views of the sea and incoming ferryboats—it's truly the perfect "lookout" if you love watching boats ply the island's waters. Second, it serves usual seafood platters plus first-rate sushi, from the salmon and tuna rolls to more-unusual treats, like the Inkwell Roll, with barbecued eel, cucumber, avocado, crabmeat, and seaweed salad. Highlights from the traditional menu include the snow-crab dinner, fish-and-chips, or the fried scallop plate.

    Lookout Tavern Review

    The Look out Resturant in Oakbluffs, MA (on Martha's VIneyard)
    is the most terrible service I have ever experienced.

    We brought our little dog (less then 30 lbs) and had eaten lunch there at the patio outside - no problems). We were going to catch the ferry later in the day right across the street so we decided to go back. We got a spot at the very end of the outside seating area.. with our dog. Waitress came took our order, brought our drinks, we started drinking them and talking to the folks next to us. Next time the waitress comes out she says no dogs.. she has to go off the outside deck and beyond the fence.. (strange we had lunch inside the fence with her earlier today). Why did you serve us if we couldn't have her here I asked... her response was I didn't see her.

    So she said you have to pay for your drinks and you can't take them with you. Strange to say we were not happy campers especially since we had dropped about $80.00 there for lunch earlier with no problems. The waitress was very rude. We will never eat there again with or without our dog.. it was a very bad experience - NOT Dog Friendly.
