Our Story

Originally opened as a tea house at the turn of the century, The Chanticleer has grown into one of Nantucket’s premier dining destinations.

Located in Sconset and surrounded by lush gardens that produce herbs, flowers, berries, and vegetables for the kitchen, it offers an elegant yet welcoming setting for intimate lunches, al fresco dinners, and special celebrations. Guests can dine in one of several thoughtfully designed rooms or under the warm island sky in the Rose Garden.

As The Chanticleer celebrates its 20th season, Executive Chef Andre Miller brings a fresh culinary perspective grounded in sustainability, seasonality, and global technique. With over a decade of experience on the island—including seven years at Straight Wharf—Chef Miller carries forward The Chanticleer’s legacy of excellence while ushering in a vibrant new era. The restaurant also hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, and other private events by reservation.
