The Sweet Life Café: Reviews & Ratings
I had a wonderful meal here at the the bar with some friends. The food was delicious, the drinks were well made and the bartender was funny and knowledgeable. Its definitely one of my favorite places to get a delicious meal on the island and I can't wait to go back! We had a mix of dishes from the grilled octopus to some agnolotti that had us ready to lick the plate. Salad and fish along with a sticky toffee desert that I could eat all day.
We had a great vegan meal here. The menu includes one fully vegan entrée and a couple of others that they offered to veganize for us. We shared the focaccia, the mafalde maitakes (vegan), and the pumpkin risotto (veganized), and it was all delicious. (They also offered to veganize the purple potatoes entree.) The service was wonderful - and our waitperson knew all about the vegan options without having to check with the kitchen. The atmosphere was relaxing and festive. Highly recommended.
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.
Excellent restaurant in Oak Bluff. We started with the Negroni with Balsamic. Delicious. We share the focaccia, the mussels and mafalde. Each was wonderful. For mains, we had the sea scallops, tautog and pork chops. Each dish was fantastic and enjoyed by all. I highly recommend.
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!
Great food and drink! Had a fabulous solo lunch while visiting Oak Bluffs. Nick was so wonderful and made this visit worthwhile.

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++

Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, great food. We had the six course tasting menu with wine pairing and it was well executed. The cocktails looked good but we didn't try one.
