Garde East

We had a fantastic lunch here on the deck overlooking the harbor. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was great, and it felt like our own private space. Lovely spot to sit and watch the boats!

Made reservations the night before while on a sailing charter. Super easy place to get to from the water once you know where it is, a dinghy dock right in front is super helpful. Dinner was amazing start to finish. Our Waiter was top knotch and the somm was on point. Great menu that was well executed, and a great wine list that was super fun to explore. We will be back when we come around again. We had local oysters, Tuna Poke, Halibut Hamachi, beetroot gnocchi, mussels, a super cool carrot dish for 1st and second courses. We then had Char, Sea Bass, Halibut, Scallops. Each one was spot on. The Scallops were some of the best any of us had every had. The fish dishes were all great with perfectly cooked fish and interesting flavors complementing the fish. Highly reccommend!

We decided to dine at Garde East for dinner after a great interaction with the hosts earlier in the day. While the lunch menu didn’t quite fit what we were looking for, the staff was so friendly and offered fantastic recommendations for other spots. We returned for dinner, and we weren’t disappointed. The waterfront view was spectacular, but the real highlight was the exceptional service. Isak and the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. When one of our dishes didn’t meet expectations, they were quick to address it with professionalism and care, ensuring that the rest of our meal was flawless. It’s rare to experience such attentive, thoughtful service, and it truly made the evening memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

A hidden gem in Vineyard Haven. We had early appetizers and their specialty cocktails. Great on both, particularly the cocktails. Combine that with a view of VH Harbor (see pic) and you have a lovely afternoon. We’re finding time for a dinner. Strong recommendation: go!

My wife and I had our wedding welcome event here, Memorial Day weekend. Our guest couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. We all thought the staff were friendly with impeccable service. The food and drinks are to die for The vibe is everything one could ask for. It’s a must dining experience when in MVY!

This is a magical place!! The food was delicious! The servers were attentive, warm, and friendly! And the atmosphere is wonderful. The restaurant manager, Phoebe, couldn’t have been more pleasant. She is beautiful and was exceptionally welcoming to us as guests! Garde East was a great dining experience and we will be back!

We had an exceptional experience at Garde East, we need to make sure this restaurant is on our heavy-rotation list. Every dish was exceptional, service was perfect, and the view is perfect. I especially love how bright an airy it is, and how there are several dining rooms so it doesn't feel like you're fighting to have a conversation over so many other tables. The food took a bit longer than they had anticipated...honestly we didn't even notice, we had a great time, but they proactively comp'd items for us which was not necessary but so appreciated.

Quick stop for a drink. The wait staff is friendly. The views are wonderful and the sandy beach has a Caribbean vibe.
