Via Mare is a whimsical Nantucket restaurant from the folks behind Ventuno. Every visit is a journey through the Venetian tradition of small-plate dining and spirited drinking in charming taverns, known as bacari.
Inspired by the Italian city's long history as a central hub in the spice trades, the menu highlights locally-sourced fare from the garden and sea alongside an approachable, eclectic wine list with bottles from around the world, and a cocktail list that emphasizes the exotic.Designed by Roman and Williams (Ace Hotel New York and The Standard, High Line), Via Mare is one of the most unique restaurants in Nantucket.

Centuries ago, Nantucket was the world's most prosperous whaling port. Sea captains traveled as far as Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, returning to Nantucket with treasures from their travels. Roman and Williams (Ace Hotel New York and The Standard, High Line) imagined the life of a well-traveled captain when designing our luxurious Nantucket accommodations.
Stay at Greydon House to uncover authentic yet uncommon things to do in Nantucket. Whether it's a sunset beach trip to Madaket or learning the legacy of America's first female astronomer, Maria Mitchell, we'll point you in the right direction to ensure you experience Nantucket's unconventional and free-spirited history and culture.
The Greydon House energetic vibe starts with its architectural style, a clever combination of Greek Revival and Second Empire styles that complement each other in surprising ways. Step through the front door and experience the cool darkness and warm, rich tones of a ship captain's stateroom. Walk through the lounge and into the bar and spy the mural depicting the 18th century tea trade with China.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that the cosmopolitan Nantucket that we know today was once home to the center of the whaling industry, one of the world's most dangerous and gruesome occupations. That story and so many others are told daily at the Nantucket Historical Association's Whaling Museum, located across the street from the luxury Greydon House hotel.

Very pleasant stay right in the middle of town and minutes away from the ferry.
The room was very comfortable with nice bedding and nice bathroom. The temperature was nice and warm for the winter. Staff was very nice and helpful.
The associated restaurant next door was also one of the rare find on Tuesday night after Xmas, very tasty, and very pleasant staff.

On island for Christmas Stroll. My friend and I were so excited to see the Greydon House and came in early for a chance to sit at the bar. We waited a half hour along with a handful of other people. When the hostess finally welcomed us in, the bartender stopped us from sitting and tersely told us that all the bar stools were “reserved” and that, if we sit down, we had to get out in fifteen minutes. I’ve never heard of a bar reserving seats in my life. When someone asked how they could reserve seat in the future, the bartender muttered something about needing to text him on his cell phone

I was moved to The Greydon House from their other property The Anchor Inn. My accommodations at Anchor Inn where disgusting with a foul odor. I was happy to be moved to a beautiful room at the Greydon House. However, the door to the bathroom was filthy on both sides. It looked like a bathroom door at a gas station. The bathroom floor had multiple colored hairs … not mine. The bar and restaurant was sweltering hot! No one seemed to know if they could turn on the air conditioning. I asked the front desk manager if she could make some dinner reservations. We discussed dates and times. I never heard

This is a gorgeous home with IMMENSELY CLEAN ROOMS.
The whole room and bathroom set up is just wonderful-nautical, clean, well appointed with all the best of amenities.
In the upgraded king sized room, the TV pulled out from the wall to hover closer to the foot of the bed-great idea!
The bathroom fixtures are fantastic-everything is just so well done.
Front desk workers are kind and helpful.
Thank you for a great vacation Greydon House!

First time in Nantucket and we were won over by the charm of this quaint and cozy hotel! We arrived on an early ferry and they were so accommodating by storing our bags and giving us suggestions on what to do and where to eat in the off season. The room was perfect - a cloud-like king bed, chic bathroom, and cold cartons of water in the fridge! The little extras impressed me - heated floors in the bathroom, cozy robes, a sound machine to plug in at night. We had a generous breakfast in the amazingly decorated library the next morning and a drink and dessert before bed the night before. I highly

Stayed here for a long Fourth of July weekend. Everyone was very friendly and was masked and adhered to social distancing. I did not feel uncomfortable and felt other guests and the staff listened to current Massachusetts guidelines and the CDC.
With respects to the space, the place has a very nice dark finishings. As a guy I appreciated the color and masculine finishings paying homage to the home's fisherman past. It was a nice difference then the usual bright preppy sometimes granny colors you come across in New England. The room was well appointed (small like every most B&B and inns

The Greydon House hotel, location, customer friendly staff, and accommodations were exceptionally good! We would certainly recommend staying there!
However, also very unfortunate, we got severe food poisoning after dining at the Via Mare Restaurant, which is located inside the hotel yet not actually associated with the hotel. The Via Mare restaurant manager was not at all professional, understanding, or even accommodating, and he certainly did not possess the necessary business and customer service skills required to properly resolve a very traumatic medical situation regarding dining clientele

The service here was incompetent at best and indifferent at worse. The air conditioning in our room was broken which management was aware of before they put us in the room. Overall we found the front desk staff unfriendly and difficult to deal with. The only reason I'm giving it to two stars is because the location is excellent and the bathroom was surprisingly large in the room.

For my brothers 25th birthday, we decided to take our business to the Greydon House for dinner. It was the only reservation we could get. As it turns out, there was definitely a reason for that. From the very start the lighting in the restaurant resembled a dimness of a coal mine. After asking for service our waitress finally came with menus that had no cohesion due to the fact that there were close to 30 appetizers, yet only 3 main courses. As our reservation was in the latter part of the evening, once the dining room emptied, the wait staff proceeded to windex the tables next to us as we tried

My wife and I visited Nantucket on our honeymoon and stayed here for six nights and it was hands down the nicest place I've ever stayed. Our room was so new and fresh with design and had so much character - we both didn't want to leave!
The service was also on another level. Everyone was so pleasant and accommodating and they were always around if we needed anything. When we asked for recommendations for what to do or where to go they were very helpful and did it with a smile. Evan the GM was an absolute pleasure to work with and it was so great to meet him.

This marks my second time staying at the Greydon House, and it as excellent as always. Staff was friendly and helpful, room was very simple, yet luxurious. Everything was top notch. My only issue was one I had last time, the provided bathrobes are all XL, so if you are a...well built individual such as myself, it can be a bit tight. Other than that very minor thing, I recommend this to anyone. Work brings me to the island once a month and this is where I will be staying from now on.

We have had two very nice experiences here, but the latest was not, due to an extremely poor reservation system and the people who chose, created, and managed it.
First a call a couple of weeks ago to request reservations left on the answering machine. A day and a half later I received a call from a man who asked me to keep repeating everything because he was "in a noisy area!" Finally he managed to understand me. We settled on 6:30, Sept 5.
Two days later a different man called and left a message that they were unable to accommodate me until 9:30! I called back, was again unable
