Dozens of people gathered outside a restaurant where President Barack Obama was dining Friday night.
Obama was dining during his annual family summer vacation at Martha's Vineyard, in Edgartown, Massachusetts, where he's spent the past five days with his family.
But for those past few days, residents and visitors have quickly reached for their cameras hoping to get a glimpse of the president and the first family up close and personal.
It's unclear what restaurant Obama was dining at and if he was with first lady, Michelle, and their daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Friday night's group of people hoping to spot the president and his family doesn't come close to the hundreds who have have lined the streets eager for a glimpse of Obama and first lady, Michelle.
The Obamas' armored car and security vehicles passed through the small town with most of the crowd cheering enthusiastically as their motorcade sped away to drop them off on the other side of the island.
On Martha's Vineyard, Obama also has gone out twice for dinner. In the town of Oak Bluffs, he dined Sunday evening at Down Island, a new, trendy restaurant that has a $59 prix fixe menu.
Executive Chef Scott Cummings told the Cape Cod Times the president shook hands with staff and posed for photos.
The menu included island-caught striped bass, roasted carrots, octopus and chocolate pate. Obama tried all the dishes that were brought to him, Cummings said.
For their second dinner out, the Obamas headed back Tuesday to State Road restaurant in West Tisbury, which has become a yearly stop for them.

Lobster salad, local greens, striped bass, monkfish, duck breast and cheeseburgers were on the menu.
In his first outing on Sunday, Obama joined up with Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers for a round at the Farm Neck Golf Club.
In the second round, it was Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and in his third and fourth rounds, Obama's foursome included former all-stars Alonzo Mourning and Ray Allen.
The latter two were playing partners during last year's vacation as well.
The round with Curry makes good on Obama's promise of a rematch when the Warriors visited the White House in February to be honored for winning the 2015 NBA championship.
'I heard during this summer, after our golf game, that Steph was using the excuse of Secret Service being intimidating for why he lost the match,' Obama said at the time. 'That is not the case. But he will have another opportunity.'
When Obama golfs, a handful of reporters, a camera team and photographers - known as the pool - are nearby, usually kept far enough away so the president doesn't see them, and vice versa.
But the press was allowed to watch Obama on the first hole of the day.
Many weekends in Washington, Obama also goes golfing, but generally on just one of the days.

The Obama's have vacationed every year but one on Martha's Vineyard. They generally keep a low profile, and indeed there were few people on the street in West Tisbury when they left the restaurant around 10.30pm.
On the day Obama didn't golf, he and the first family went to a private beach. The White House said Thursday he and daughter Malia also went for a walk in the morning on a trail near the house the Obamas are renting.
The White House doesn't disclose exactly where he is staying, but he's in the same neighborhood of a home the Obamas stayed at in 2014 and 2015.
One of the local papers, the Martha's Vineyard Times, describes the home as containing seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, expansive views of Vineyard Sound, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a dual tennis-basketball court.
Obama has added a new event to this year's itinerary, a fundraiser Monday for the Democratic National Committee. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton will be on the island as well on August 20.
Her campaign website stated that she'll be in Edgartown at the home of Carol and Frank Biondi, a former CEO for Viacom and Universal Studios. It's unclear for now whether the two politicians will spend any time together.
