Went here for dinner. We had a 615 pm reservation and seated precisely on time. The service was perfectly timed and allowed us the space to converse while still being very well attended to.

Toppers provide you with an entire experience. You can dine inside (fine dining), on the deck, on the sun chairs, or all the way down on the beach deck. Great place to grab a coctail and enjoy the sunset.

A beautiful setting with a menu delightful to the taste buds. The Toppers burger was the ideal burger I try to make constantly; they nailed it! A wagyu beef patty with Vermont cheese, hickory smoked bacon, and a burst of caramelized onions. While the rest of the party all had the classic lobster roll that looked plumped and amazing, I just had to go with their signature burger. Will absolutely be back for many visits while on the island.

This place was INCREDIBLE!!! The food and service were excellent. Well worth the money. Great view. Great wine too! Our sommelier Dennis was so friendly and helpful and really fun to talk to. I wish I could remember the name of our server, he was great!!!! Everything about this meal was perfect. The smoked bluefish pâté is a MUST have.

The food and wait service was outstanding. Refined and well-balanced flavors with beautiful presentation. Read on for more on why this is 4 stars rather than 5.

Highly recommended and worth the trip! The restaurant was fully booked for lunch and dinner so we opted for breakfast. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Perfectly manicured property in a seclude private part of the island with a boat that takes you into town. The food was top notch even though it was just breakfast. After your meal, take a walk to the dock/beach.

Really excellent food , service and atmosphere but the prices seem to keep going up while the portions get smaller which is a pretty big bummer. We got half the food this year as we did last year and somehow spent more money. The boat service from White Elephant is also a lot of fun but the drink prices are a bit obscene for the small pours. Overall a fun experience but be prepared to come away spending $300 a person for not that much food or drink.

One of the top restaurants on the island. Excellent food and scenery…particularly at sunset. Downside is cost. While the food is good, it’s not worth the price tag.

Great spot at Wauwinet. Very good food and the lawn is a nice place to relax and soak in the atmosphere.
