“Our waiter, Brian, who was also the hostess and bus boy at the time, was amazing! He was helpful, took his time explaining the menu with us and one of the best waiters we've had. The calamari was hot and delicious, and my fish tacos were delicious. We would certainly go back if we are ever in the area, so hats off to the chef and Brian. Thank you for a wonderful lunch experience!“

“Had such a lovely experience dining at Milagro Cafe this afternoon. We ordered the daily specials for both food and drinks: shrimp tacos, braised beef texmex quesadilla, fresh cherry margarita, and a fresh apricot margarita. Everything was delicious and the service was phenomenal. A great spot to hang out and enjoy a meal with friends!Parking: Parking can be tricky to find, but definitely worth looking around for.“

“We arrived at the restaurant around 7pm without reservations and were seated immediately (Thursday night in late April). The dining area faced the waterfront, looking clean and classic. Service was fast, courteous, professional and friendly, attentive without being smothering. We ordered bread which is made on site, warm and delicious; entrees included the Seafood Squid Ink Pasta and a glazed salmon and black bean risotto special. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Portion size was good. Coffee was a little bitter; i usually take it black but found myself wishing for some sugar. Desserts were carrot cake and creme brulee which were ok. The small parking lot was full, but we found street parking. Prices were medium high, ok for a special evening out.“

“High Hope is my go to place in down town. From the atmosphere, the drink selection, the food, the staff, etc.I send all of my clients, family, and friends to High Hope Tavern.I love the lighting the most. My favorite seat is to sit near the cozy fireplace or we love sitting at the bar. The bartenders are all amazing and friendly.I highly recommend the Roasted Oysters, Devils on Horseback, and the Raw Oysters.. you can never go wrong with their Risotto that they change often or the Tavern Burgers. Their fries are also amazing with the garlic aioli.The live music on Thursdays is always a treat. Shane is very talented.Christine is the sweetest hostess who greets everyone as if they are family.“

“We had a lovely time . Clara was amazing , explained the menu and drink options very sweet. Also very hygenic she left our table spotless after every round of food also very patient.. We where there for 1.5 hours. It happened to be happy hour, but the atmosphere was very laid back ,chill.The Pupusas are authentic the drinks are unique and tasty. All the food we ate was really good. It was a nice getaway from Boston. Really nice place. I felt classy for once! Ha“

“From making reservations that changed different times due to the addition of friends coming in from out of town to the show at the United- to the table we were assigned, to the impeckable service to the delicious food... we were met by staff at the Cafe' with nothing but grace and professionalism. We are most grateful and thank you all!“

“What a lovely surprise! We found a gem In a small town on the edge of Westerly RI after a lovely hike in the nearby state forest. It was probably somewhat off season (I can imagine it getting quite busy during prime beach time), but we were welcomed in and shown right to a table. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding! We agreed with other reviewers, the eggplant stack with homemade marinara was so incredible, hinting at the prowess of the kitchen. We all had various sandwiches, each an excellent rendition of their type, packed full of ingredients and trimmings. The atmosphere is not very cozy but serviceable. The kitchen produces like it is a gourmet shop. We will be back!“

“Unbelievably fantastic brunch! We went here today to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and everything about the brunch was amazing. The pastries, the doughnuts, the desserts!! The seating area is beautiful and is warm. Service was great. Well worth the money and a great way to celebrate any occasion or treat yourself.“

“I've been here before as well, but this time we visited for my mom's birthday. Brought our two young kids (6&8). All of the food was amazing! We got the nachos for an appetizer, soup, salad, cod, eggplant parm, and the kids got a burger. I think they may have the best nachos I've ever had before. And I love my nachos ? Will definitely be going again when we're in town.“

“It is a very cozy coffee shop atmosphere. A few tall tables, but mostly sofas and chairs around tables. Interesting menu of creative choices. Both my companion and I had the Cobain sandwich. It was multi grain bread, brie, spinach, artichoke hearts and prosciutto. It was very tasty but the prosciutto was stringy and/or fatty at times.“

“Love Red Lantern however went there last night had dessert it's horrible had a banana split who uses chocolate mint ice cream in a banana split absolutely disgusting number one number two your cotton candy cake oh my God it was horrible horrible love the sushi love the hot food that comes out of the kitchen your desserts are terrible whoever recommended it fire them“

“Went to have drinks but we’re not allowed a table unless each member of our party purchased an entire. We wanted an appetizer. We had to clear our own table in order to eat our appetizer and have our drinks. The hostess was so rude. Luckily another waitress came over to us and was very kind with recommendations on how to enjoy the rest of our night there. There was a dj and dancers and we enjoyed the rest of our night.“

“Excellent food and staff. My wife and I went for an early dinner for our wedding anniversary recently, Joe was our server and made it a truly special and memorable experience. When my wife mentioned that it was our anniversary, he brought us over 2 beers in fluted champagne glasses to help us celebrate along with our refills. Really nice and unexpected. I had the hot lobster roll, my wife the blackened chicken and both were phenomenal. Great food, service and live music too! We will be back!“
