We had an amazing dinner at sunset overlooking the fields.
For starters we ordered the summer squash, griddled flatbread and grilled cucumber. The Summer squash was exceptional!!! Everything about this dish was to die for!! The griddled flatbread was amazing, fresh and delicious in every way! And the grilled cucumbers were incredible!! We loved the basil oil in combination with the farmer’s cheese. Literally every element of all three dishes were well thought through, from textural components to flavor combinations. We honestly could not get enough of those three dishes! Next time we have to order double!
For mains we had the Tagliatelle and Fried Skate. Tagliatelle and fried skate were good, but they both have much room for improvement.
Skate was fresh and cooked beautifully and the pimenton aioli gave a nice smoky note to the dish, but the dish lacked harmony with remaining sides. The haricot vert were too acidic along side the already bright sungolds, and the pickled onions did not add anything to the dish. It all just felt a bit out of place and the flavor combinations lacked balanced.
For the tagliatelle dish, both tagliatelle pasta and lobster were slightly overcooked. The beans made the dish feel heavy in the brodo and the tomato concasse was slightly too bright for the dish. The textures within the dish were not very pleasant. The graininess of the beans, the chewiness of the lobster, the mushiness of the pasta and tomato concasse, and the wateriness of the brodo made the dish much less appealing for me.
Both mains really needed more attention and better balance. It would’ve been nice to see some vegetarian options in the mains as there are so many fresh seasonal vegetables and ingredients available nearby.
Either way, we still enjoyed our time and our meals. The starters and desserts were absolutely incredible!!
For dessert we had the sour cherry and strawberry pie topped with fresh whipped cream. It was absolutely divine! Bright, not too sweet, flaky crust, perfect cook… 10/10!
While we did have some critiques, we would still highly recommend Westerly Canteen. The atmosphere is breathtaking and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back!!!

This is best find during upstate NY excursions. Food is incredible. Weekly changing menu. Tried Lamb and Skate, just delicious. Beautiful views and plus having it at distillery next door. Had a drink with ginger, it is heavenly.

Ten Mile Distillery scored big when they secured this collaboration. Featuring an ever-changing, locally sourced menu delivered out of a cute Airstream. Chef Molly and team consistently manage to put something new, surprising, and delicious in every meal. That's a magic trick in and of itself. Worth stopping in when they're not slammed with weekenders.

Seemingly impossible to have a bad meal here. The seasonal dishes are always rotating in a fresh way & they're consistently putting out some of the best food in the area. The atmosphere there helps too- but their food is divine! If you're a fan of vegetables, meat, bread, cheese, or food you put in your mouth... you're not going to have a bad time at Westerly <3

Consistently some of the best food I’ve ever had. Westerly Canteen goes above and beyond to source from and celebrate surrounding farms and their love for and dedication to good food really shines through. Stunning food in a stunning setting. Run don’t walk.

I must apologize because I’ve not got sufficient adjectives to describe the food produced by these culinary artists. Lost Kitchen, move over. (Not down, just make room)

This place is a hidden gem! Only thing better than the view is the food and the lovely staff. We had an incredible salad with spigarello and when I asked them where they got it they told me they grew it themselves! Can’t wait to come back.
