“ Went there last weekend. Food was amazing. Service even better. Can’t wait to return ”
“ The most charmingly hip atmosphere with stellar music on island, plus they have some of my favorite island food. I take all my foodie friends there and they all love the food. Can’t go wrong with Gaslight. Just plan ahead as it is so beloved by year rounders and summer folks that you’ll need a dinner reservation! ”
“ Great hidden spot for music, food and drink. The Chicken Tinga Nachos I would highly recommend. I will be craving these for sure!! ”
“ My husband said he would give this restaurant a 10 if he could. Located in center of town. Our server Carla was so sweet. Very attentive. It began to drizzle and the staff immediately came out to ask us to move inside if we wished. It passed quickly and enjoyed the peaceful outside area. Food was amazing. Asian influence. After dinner we moved our way inside and sat at the bar until the band started at 10:30. So glad we did!!! Amazing vibes , great bar staff and service!! Enjoy! ”
“ We just had drinks before the band played, but we had so much fun. The bartenders are a group of regular guys who serve well and pay attention to details. Great energy! ”
“ I was only there for a minute, but everybody was helpful friendly. Great bartenders, although sadly, no Montucky Cold Snacks there weren't a lot of people in there at the time, so it was pretty chill but I could definitely see it getting hectic with a larger later crowd. ”
