The Sweet Life Café

Environment was on point. Service was surprisingly sub par for such a nice spot. Our server was good, but others didn't seem to quite understand restaurant etiquette. Scallop dish was yummy with the pomegranate seeds. Octopus was a bit charred, as was the focaccia but still pretty tasty. Pork belly was amazing.

We’ve only been in MV for 2 days but everything was so good I’m having a hard time thinking we will find better. Our server Ashly was super friendly and attentive A++

I have to second the sewage stench another reviewer mentioned!! It's absurd - it seems worse the closer to the bar you are on the patio. It wafts through whenever the back door opens which is constantly. Really disgusting. I was offended they sat me it what has to be known as the 'bathroom' seat and moved all the large parties to the far end where you're in the clear. Food-wise: I'm vegetarian and my waitress warned that the single option I had for entree would be less fulfilling than the meat courses for the same price. Not a good sign! If you are routinely getting feedback like that then do something about it; don't start dispensing 'beware' notices to guests before they eat. The sticky toffee pudding was served cold with a synthetic-tasting caramel. I asked for tea and they put such a small amount of water in the pot, it did not fill the tiny cup I was given and kept going cold. I had to repeatedly ask for more and could not leave the bag inside to brew since they kept having to replace it. It seemed like they didn't know how tea works.

We came here for an early dinner on a Tuesday night last week. The restaurant itself is super quaint and cute with a great outdoor patio adorned with string lights. We were seated on an indoor porch area which was great and felt super private for our group. Cocktail options were plentiful and delicious and the non-alcoholic almond lemonade was super interesting and good. For starters we ordered: House made foccacia with extra stracciatella Carrots with urfa chili & goat cheese - this was my favorite appetizer, great flavors and textures Risotto with sweet corn and shiitakes - this was fine, but a little on the bland side I ordered the pork chop for my main course with the sauce on the side. Absolutely loved the pork chop and thought the spaetzle and collards greens were the perfect accompaniment. Cute restaurant, good service, great food!

First time in Martha's Vineyard. Dine at The Sweet Life our server Chloe was amazing. But the true gym was the food it was delicious. I definitely would recommend Martha's Vineyard to anyone who wants to have a beautiful Point quiet and relaxing vacation here but if you want some sweet delicious food go to the Sweet Life, I heard Barack Obama even likes this place. Is definitely a thumbs up for me see why I call your attorney

Dinner was spectacular and our server Filip was incredibly helpful with menu suggestions and recommendations. The outdoor garden atmosphere was cozy and serene. After almost 40 years of drinking martinis, this is the first restaurant/bartender that was able to make a genuine & proper James Bond Martini. The menu is a true testament to local and seasonal offerings, not just your typical tourist restaurant staples, you can tell that the chef goes out of their way to entice his audience with unique fare that is fresh and creative.

The service, atmosphere, and cocktails were excellent. But the portions were ridiculously small. The hamachi appetizer could not have had an ounce of fish. The pasta was tasty but tiny. Only the ribeye was an actual grownup portion but still maybe 8oz at most. I’ve eaten at Michelin Star restaurants in Paris with much larger portions. We literally walked out of the restaurant after spending $500 and walked across the street and ate 2 slices of pizza each. Would have been 4-5 stars but they need to give 50-100% more food. There are much better options around.

The Sweet Life Café in Martha's Vineyard offers an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is inviting, and its prime location adds to its appeal. I started with the Iron Ranger cocktail, which was really tasty and well-balanced. The subtle hints of pineapple and almond enhanced the drink tremendously. The focaccia might have been the best bread I’ve ordered for dinner ever. Really flavorful, soft, and fresh. For the appetizer, I chose the HAMACHI CRUDO. It was incredibly fresh and melted like butter in my mouth. My entrée was the MAFALDE, featuring pistachio pesto, crab, asparagus, and anchovy pangrattato. The crab was soft and fresh, and the sauce was flavorful and delicious. I finished my meal with an espresso martini, a perfect end to a wonderful dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend The Sweet Life Café for friends, family gatherings, or a romantic date night. It's a spot I'd love to visit again.
