Eat at the Bar Guide

Sushi is the highlight at Lola's, one of Nantucket's newest restaurants. This is a fun place, dominated by a bar that pours colorful and uncommon specialty concoctions at $10 to $12 a pop. The theme is "neoglobal" cuisine: pasta and osso bucco from Italy, bacalao (salt cod with polenta and caviar) from Barcelona, and Asian-inspired green and black tea-glazed chicken breast with Buddha's rice. There are even fried clams and calamari -- both very good -- on the appetizer list. But most people are here for the impressive sushi bar, where you can gorge on nigiri and sashimi to your heart's content.
