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“

“Stephanie was an exceptional bartender—easily one of the best servers we've ever had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made a huge difference for us. Her attention to detail was impressive, from promptly changing out silverware between courses to keeping our drinks filled without us ever needing to ask. The food was outstanding! The carpaccio was the best we’ve had, and the gluten-free s’mores dessert was absolutely delicious—a perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere had a great vibe with stunning views, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“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.“

“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“

“Very pleasantly surprised! Great menu and service. We ate at the bar. The atmosphere is nice and low key. We can't wait to go back.“

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

“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 ⭐️“

“I hadn’t been to this restaurant in a few years. I was supposed to meet a friend for an early dinner (4pm) My friend cancelled so I decided get takeout. Excellent service from a very friendly and accommodating staff. And the most important part, the food, delicious! I took advantage of the lobster fest promotions. Lobster roll was delicious. I could not eat it all. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

“Just moved to the area and tried Stevie D’s for the first time. The food tasted amazing! We had a Portuguese burger with sweet potato fries and the chili cheese fries (with homemade chili). Nice beer selection - we had the Stevie D’s IPA and a peanut butter porter. We sat at a table but most folks were sitting around the bar and seemed to know each other. There was a live band in the back and a small outdoor space for people to stand and chat out front. Our waitress was super friendly and the whole vibe was chill. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Looking forward to coming back to The Hot Club - it’s in a great location right on the water. We didn’t have to wait for seating and there were great beverage options - including N/A. They have a small food menu but it turned out surprisingly good! The fish bites were flaky and the chicken tenders and a great crunch to them. Great vibes.“

“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!“
