$$$-$$$$, American, Nantucket Town
Fodor's Review:
With its beautiful broad lawn set harborside, the Brant Point Grill -- in-house restaurant for the elegant White Elephant hotel -- has ventured beyond its à la carte haute-steak house menu with some protein-heavy variations -- such as Kobe-beef meatballs, and slow-cooked pork shank with lemon spaetzle -- that can weigh in on the heavy side as summer fare. Always appealing, though, is the straightforward salmon grilled on a firecone set up right outside, and the spritely salads -- e.g., mesclun with a grilled orange-cranberry vinaigrette -- are reliably refreshing. Desserts like the Guinness ice-cream mud pie are sure-fire resolution-destroyers, as is the Sunday brunch, featuring a make-your-own Bloody Mary station.
