New American Restaurants near Bristol, RI

“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!“

“Definitely would recommend“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“Last night, we walked towards The Aviary's entrance surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of hydrangeas. Magical. The restaurant itself did not disappoint as it too was absolutely lovely. The wait staff was superb. Nice and efficient and they got every order perfectly. We were delighted. However, the food left a bad taste for sure. We were served room temperature brussel sprouts that were not cooked! Calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Pasta dish was floating in oil!! Total disappointment. Sadly, this beautiful restaurant has not earned our repeat business.“

“Delicious food, great service,“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“Delicious food, great service and I highly recommend.“

“Never in my life had I had a fish 🐟 sandwich like dunes I am a food lover must say from Boston to Vegas to Costa Rica never ever had a sandwich like that order it then thank me I am the honest ONE“

“TRAFFORDS TESTIMONIAL Perhaps once in a lifetime you find someplace really special for you and your spouse. Seven years ago we went to Trafford’s for the first time. What we remember about it was how it made us feel. Both of us work hard in our professions and to go out to dinner and find wonderful food, excellent and attentive wait staff, and relaxed environment simply made our day. We then came every month at least once mostly twice to enjoy the excellence and serenity at Trafford. Sadly we lost this when the fire occurred for several years. Then absolute joy when Trafford’s reopened and we found the same wonderful food, wonderful staff in a simply beautiful rebuilt building. The joy we felt and the absolute calm and serenity is all back for us. Recently we celebrated my 76th birthday at Trafford with my entire family. It was amazingly special for me and we had our special event upstairs with the entire place devoted to us . Chrissy our server did an awe inspiring service for us making it perhaps one of the most special birthdays I have ever had I have attached a picture of this special moment. I work in the computer software business doing quality assurance 10 hours every day. Being able to calm down and relax completely at Trafford’s is simply a joy for us. I will always be thankful for this the rest of my life Ugh Sincerely Nicholas McKinney“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“The main restaurant is phenomenal! Have never had anything there that was not good! The grab and go is great also! The broasted chicken is out of this world! Nice and hot, juicy, very well seasoned! I absolutely love the potato wedges! But the Mac and cheese I'm sorry it's horrible! I do not recommend getting the Mac and cheese at all! Also, am not a fan of the size of the sides for 2 person meal! They're small and can only really feed one person! In both places the service staff are friendly, very kind and do a great job! Both restaurants are clean and well put together decor wise! I eat at both restaurants on a regular basis! At least 2-3 times a month! I give 5 stars for the main restaurant and 4 stars for the grab and go! I realize they're new and still getting the swing of things! I'll definitely be remaining a regular customer of both!“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“A great innovative menu, absolutely delicious food, warm friendly environment and great service! This restaurant is amazing! Each item we ordered was bursting with flavor!!“

“Food was Fantastic! Burgers were cooked perfectly to order, and was much faster than expected. Music was a little too loud for the small crowd. Waitress was a little rude, but did her job good. Would recommend

Parking: Parking can be difficult when busy.“

“Excellent turkey club sandwich and fries. Didn't know how I was going to eat as it was packed with good plenty of turkey, bacon, cheese , tomato and lettuce. Also gluten free bread. Ladies room very clean. Friendly staff that all work nice together. Definitely will be coming back“

“We are on vacation here & this was the first restaurant we chose!! Oh man this place is just top notch from top to bottom!! The food was amazing & our server Cheryl was equally as amazing!! The place itself is beautiful & has a beautiful pond u can sit outdoors by!! If u are ever in this area, I highly recommend this place!!“

“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long“

“Love it there everyone is so friendly and waitress are awesome food is great big portions and delicious every time I come to my sisters house I go at least 1 a week if not more“

“Great food, portions, prices and service.“

“Amazing in every way, I’ve been delivering here working for UPS for awhile and decided it was time to check it out. Bluewater did not disappoint and delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back!!! Five STARS ⭐️“

“nice atmosphere. fresh raw bar I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. SMALL SERVINGS & PRICEY. Current menu not online.. checked several sites and each had a different menu.“

“Great experience. Wonderful food. Great ambience. Lovely staff.“

“The food was pretty basic pub food, we had a hummus tray and the mac&cheese bites, and the drinks were fine. Apparently they don’t pour doubles but other than that, service was great. The place definitely felt like a hole in the wall but in a good way.“

“Miss them now ! Food and prices were excellent and so was home delivery“

“Went after wedding dress shopping for a friend and Ness our waitress was absolutely lovely and so sweet and attentive!! Was great having a normal eating out experience with pulled pork mac n cheese after being diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years ago, and Ness was amazing at making sure the kitchen made everything 100% safe for me!“
