Martha's Vineyard is a tourist destination, so having tourists frequent your establishment, as they do at Seasons, can hardly be held against you. This is especially true if you're known to serve good, solid, moderately-priced American fare, such as burgers and sandwiches, and a wide variety of microbrews that those same tourists come back to enjoy year after year. Live acoustic performances are featured most summer nights and on weekend nights during the winter season, making this a busy and fun spot.

You are more likely to mingle with locals here than at other places, though many of them might stay away during summer months. For breakfast, the café serves hearty French toast and egg dishes. For lunch, try the unique sandwiches, pizzas and pastas. Black Dog offers nightly dinner specials, too.
