Bettini Restaurant 131 North Water Street Harbor View Hotel, Edgartown, MA 02539

"Beautiful ambiance, view of the Edgartown lighthouse and water, and great service, but bland entrees. We enjoyed our drinks (Derby cocktail and blueberry mule mocktail), and stuffed clams, but the swordfish and halibut entrees were so bland. Even the risotto that came with the swordfish were bland. It’s not just lack of salt but general lack of flavor. I’m confused because the menu states that the food is tested rigorously before being added to menus."

"A great dining experience for those on the Vineyard who want something more formal and not seafood obsessive. I appreciated the variety of options on the menu and the wine/cocktail selection. A perfect date night."

"Our waitress, Cassidy, made our wonderful breakfast especially enjoyable. She was very attentive and friendly, sharing her personal experiences with us, which made our breakfast even better than expected by her engaging and caring personality. We so appreciated all that she had to share, which helped us make decisions about some upcoming family plans. Though breakfast is expensive here, everything is fresh, delicious, and plentiful, whole the service takes your meal to another level. Upscale dining meets a comfort level you can enjoy without excessive stuffiness. And the view can’t be beat!"

"A nice dining experience in the Harbor View Hotel. Pleasant staff and food is presented aesthetically. The food is good, but not great. Honestly, the specialty salad with blackberries was pretty, but it didn’t have much flavor. The vinaigrette was lacking and dulled the whole salad. The fava bean and mushroom pappardelle was just okay, but my husband’s swordfish was good. All in all, it is pretty in there and the staff will treat you well, but for someone who loves food and flavors, it just wasn’t outstanding. It seems you are paying more for the country club type atmosphere and location rather than terrific cuisine."
