Détente - Review - Edgartown - Martha's Vineyard - The Infatuation
"Ask anybody who lives in Edgartown to name their favorite restaurant, and they’ll probably say Détente—and it’s easy to understand why. This twinkle-lit courtyard spot has been quietly serving inventive American dishes since 2005, and the menu changes frequently. One night, it might be Menemsha lobster risotto, the next, it’s seared sea scallops with a coconut-lime emulsion and bok choy from nearby Morning Glory Farm. The wine list has lots of great choices, most of them coming from producers that prioritize minimal intervention—the minerally assyrtiko from Greece we tried recently is a good example. This is the kind of place locals quietly celebrate when it reopens each May before the visiting crowds catch on. So snag a reservation, or hope there’s an open seat at the five-person bar." - Morgen Schroeder
