The Pawnee House MV - Restaurant in Oak Bluffs - 20 Kennebec Ave # H, USA

We made a reservation weeks in advance to make sure we got in, and I'm so glad we did. Everyone that worked there was so friendly, and the decor is so cute. While all the food and drinks were delicious, the vegan crab cakes were absolutely incredible! Highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

The cutest little restaurant! The atmosphere was delightful as well as the staff. I had the vegan mushroom & Gouda tart and it was amazing, 10/10 recommend. I also had the vegan crab-cakes which were delicious! And the vegan cake was absolutely scrumptious. I definitely recommend this place!

What an all around wonderful dinner experience! My friend and I arrived early on a cold fall day and were welcomed into a warm and cozy atmosphere with very personal attention. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious from the margarita mock-tail to the edamame dumpling special and the Gruyère asparagus tart. My friend was just as thrilled with her polenta and mushroom stack. We enjoyed every single bite and will certainly be back. Highly recommended.

Visited here for dinner a few days ago, and absolutely loved it. More details below, but first, a quick summary. Drinks are all excellent. Food is very well cooked and all worth what they charge. Some dishes feel a little held back by the dedication to vegan ingredients. General thoughts: - Service was very attentive; I drink a ton of water and almost never had an empty glass, despite the small cups here. - Minor thing, but very important to me - the straws are waxed paper. They don't pollute like the plastic ones, and they don't stick to your lips and feel gross like the cheap paper ones. Super happy with these, please never change them. A little more granular, dish by dish - starting with drinks: - the Georgia On My Mind is my favorite drink here or anywhere on the island. It's very well balanced, and the pecan syrup gives it some delicious complexity. Will order this every time I come here. - the Yankee Swap is also very good, with great ube flavor that is strong, but doesn't quite overpower the rest. - the Careless Whisper wasn't our favorite. We thought it was good, but tasted a little too much like cough syrup. We think the IPA syrup's hoppiness was a little too much for the grapefruit. For small plates: - the asparagus flatbread was perfect. Cheese melted into the bread, which was very flaky. A little more arugula than we needed, but we all enjoyed this one. - the dumplings were very good, though for the price they could have brought a few more of their friends. Flavor was excellent, but we felt the wraps didn't bind quite right without the egg - slight downside to the vegan cooking. - the butternut soup was disappointing, even for someone who loves butternut. Was a little thin, could have used some cream to thicken and improve the flavor. Flavor was also a little one-dimensional, which we feel could be helped by adding just a little bit of red pepper or some other herbs. Finally, on the mains - - Chicken pot pie was unreservedly great. Not crazy special ingredients, just really well executed. Bigger portion than most of the things here, too, if that's of interest. - Salmon Wellington was very good, well seasoned and delicious. Unique dish, worth a try for sure. Maybe could use a dab more sauce? Happy with this one, too. Desserts we had were all worth it. I'm pretty adamant this has been the best restaurant I've been to in Martha's Vineyard. Looking forward to see how they evolve over time!

Creative cocktails and food, friendly and entertaining staff, and a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard, it’s been the best food and drinks during the entire trip! 11/10 definitely go here if you can only visit one spot

I absolutely adore the Pawnee House. Make reservations! It’s a small place and it’s better to have them. The owners and servers are absolutely wonderful people, so kind and knowledgeable about gluten. Drinks were delicious, food was delicious and enjoyed the time spent there. I 100% recommend coming here as a nice dinner with loved ones.

Great meal! The place is small and very busy. I felt very bad for Alex the host! There were many Karens trying to use their privilege and asking for a table without a reservation even after he told them there were none. Two women even asked if he could ask people sitting at the bar to get up early to accommodate them! Very poor taste and Karens being Karen. Aside from that food was great. Our waitress got one item of our order wrong but we were accommodated with a free dessert so it all worked out. Also mixed drinks were made strong so a plus! Salmon Wellington excellent and beet and goat cheese stack great and the shishito peppers were roasted to perfection. Strawberry shortcake so good with the homemade biscuit! All together a great meal. But please If want to dine in the summer make a reservation!

DELICIOUS! We ate dinner here on 9/7/23, 2 days before leaving the Vineyard, and I definitely wish we had done so sooner because the food was delicious and I wanted a chance to explore their menu further. With limited seating, and offering dinner service only (brunch Sundays), it's hard to get a reservation. Plan ahead. Even though the interior seems ordinary when peeking through the windows during the day, it becomes magical after dark. We shared the Red Beans & Rice Bowl w/ Cajun Andouille Sausage, Toasted Sesame Asparagus, and Spicy Collard Greens. Excellent, all! We did not order anything (this time) from the cocktail menu, but it was extensive and inventive. With any luck, the wife/husband team behind this gem will be able to expand into a larger space. See you next summer for sure!
