Located on the waterfront at the historic Old South Wharf, Bar Yoshi offers classic Japanese cuisine including sushi, noodles and dumplings, as well as raw bar offerings, poke, ceviche and, new for 2021, larger “Bar Yoshi Plates.” The beverage program has also been relaunched for the 2021 season, with new beer, sake and wine offerings, in addition to creative cocktails.



The cocktail program, in particular, was created with several ideas in mind. Bar Yoshi is a Japanese inspired restaurant and represent that using traditional ingredients such as Sake, shiso, yuzu and more. There are also items shared across the company (other restaurants in Connecticut include Shell & Bones Oyster Bar and Grill, Geronimo Tequila Bar and Southwest Grill and Camacho Garage) that are fan favorites. The unifying inspiration is that Bar Yoshi is located on the beautiful island of Nantucket. The program offers guests an opportunity to escape the day-to-day hustle and bustle and to feel elevated from the rest. This is done through island-style cocktails, such as the "I am a Daiquiri," and sourcing fresh local ingredients to create an experience not to be forgotten. 


Summer 2021 marks an expansion of the award-winning restaurant. The original, intimate indoor dining space with direct views of the kitchen offers limited tables and sushi bar seating, and the new, open-air space next door adds a full bar with seating, in addition to tables and banquettes, providing direct waterfront views of the marina, as well as an expanded outdoor seating area. Bar Yoshi is open seven days a week for continuous service from 12pm-10pm (with a late night program launching soon) during the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons on the island for dine-in and takeout, and offers catering to private homes, yachts and aircraft.

The Veranda House Returns

April 18, 2025
Nantucket, with its misty harbors, salt-kissed breezes, and centuries-old charm, has always been a place where history whispers through every weathered shingle and cobblestone street. This spring, one of the island’s most beloved landmarks, the Veranda House, will once again welcome guests, rising from the ashes of a devastating 2022 fire that necessitated a complete rebuild. Set to reopen in spring 2025, the new Veranda House is a masterpiece of restoration and reinvention. Owned by Procaccianti Companies and managed by TPG Hotels & Resorts as part of the Nantucket Resort Collection, the rebuild was meticulously overseen in collaboration with the town and historic district commission to ensure that the property retained its original federal-style elegance while incorporating modern luxuries and state-of-the-art amenities. First built in 1684, the Veranda House has stood as a symbol of Nantucket’s rich maritime legacy, its wraparound porches offering a front-row seat to the island’s ever-changing seascape. The new design remains true to its original size, scale, and architectural character, seamlessly blending historic integrity with contemporary comforts. Guests will find spa-like ensuite baths in every room, featuring Carrara marble, custom fixtures, and sleek walk-in showers—a nod to modern indulgence without sacrificing classic charm. The 19 redesigned rooms, including the Grand Harborview King with its private balcony and fireplace, exude an intimate, serene luxury. Expanded outdoor gathering spaces now offer even more opportunities for guests to soak in the island’s ambiance, whether sipping coffee at sunrise or toasting the golden hour over Nantucket Harbor. “This reopening marks a significant mile- stone, not just for Veranda House, but for the entire Nantucket community. We are deeply thankful for the community’s unwavering support in bringing this iconic property back to life,” says Paul Hitselberger, EVP of Operations for TPG Hotels & Resorts. The Veranda House is not just a recon- struction—it’s a resurrection, a tribute to Nantucket’s ability to endure, evolve, and enchant. Its doors reopen as a beacon of timeless hospitality, welcoming travelers to a place where history is honored, and every detail—from the breezy verandas to the handcrafted interiors—tells a story. For those who love Nantucket, the Veranda House is a homecoming. Images courtesy of The Veranda House.
