Nantucket: Where to Eat: Classics: 21 Federal

21 Federal

Located in a Greek Revival–style house that dates from 1847 (a year after the great fire of Nantucket destroyed much in town), this restaurant has been open for more than two decades. Chef Russell Jaehnig, who took over the kitchen in 1993, turns out French-inspired cuisine, and the wine list is impressive. Reservations are recommended during high season.
