New American Restaurants near East Greenwich, RI

“Our server James was spectacular! Made my mom’s 73 birthday dinner an experience! We have talked about him more than the food (which was wonderful as well). Turned my mom’s candles around to say 37 instead of 73!! Her reaction was gold. He made our night and we are not the easiest diners. As a former restaurant manager, I would wish to have a million of him on staff! Thank you for making my mom’s birthday special.“

“We visited Besos 3 days ago. Was a completely amazing experience. My family took the opportunity to talk to chef Annie. Annie explained each ingredient for our paella. She made the difference between excellent and amazing experience. Completely lovely place. See you soon.“

“Good food, attentive staff“

“We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and Megan made incredible drinks for all of us. The service was incredible with Gianna. We had the calamari to start which was wonderful. I had the scallops and risotto and the rest of my party was equally happy with everything they got. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Yum!!!!!! My favorite is their fried green tomato sandwich! I also love the fried green tomato benedict special! I wish that was a regular menu item!“

“The service was outstanding. The food was very good. We had the mussels followed by warm lobster rolls with butter. Very good cocktails. The others in our party had desserts which they loved. The sound level was fairly high, but we could still have a nice conversation without screaming.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Jen at the airport bar, and she truly made my travel experience memorable! From the moment I approached the bar, her warm smile and friendly demeanor put me at ease. Jen was knowledgeable about the drink menu and recommended the perfect cocktail for me. Her attention to detail and quick service were impressive, especially during the busy hours. It's clear that she genuinely enjoys her job and cares about her customers. If you find yourself at the airport, make sure to stop by and see Jen—she's a gem! Thank you for the fantastic service and Merry Christmas!“

“Our server, Dusty, was friendly, attentive, helpful to us as we selected our meals and personable. All four of our meals were excellent and drinks were as we wanted. Good portions. The fish and chips were the best I have had. Highly recommended.“

“Cole was a wonderful and attentive server and the food was great as usual!“

“I met up with a family member here yesterday for lunch. We live in different states and this was the halfway point for us. JP was our server and he was just the best!! Very friendly and funny! The food and drinks were amazing and we loved the separate rooms for dining. We're looking forward to making this our regular meetup spot!“

“fantastic food and service, will definitely return soon“

“The new Harris has some of the best food , service and drinks in RI !“

“we have been there for their Breakfast, and Dinner. both were superb! the new owner greeted us upon sitting down , took the time to listen to us, and came back after our meal to make sure everything was good. No complaints here! 10 out of 10!!“

“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“

“The fact that the Celestial Cafe folks are still going strong after the many challenges of the last few years is testament to their enduring commitment to producing quality food using locally-sourced ingredients.

One evening a year or two before Covid, about halfway through a five-hour road trip, we stopped in for an early dinner. Things were quiet and we had a chance to chat with Chef Branden Read's mom, who shared the story of how he ended up opening the establishment. To get the whole story, you'll have to stop by at a quiet time and hopefully catch him to hear it first hand, but you should be ready for disappointment, for there aren't that many quiet times these days.

Having been eating here since 2010, I can speak with the perspective of long experience when I say that the food has been consistently excellent -- creative, frequently updated and well-executed. The Baby Back Ribs (a menu staple, thank goodness) are simply superb, just falling off the bone. The cabbages in the slaw and the cucumbers served on top are home pickled, light on the vinegar and delicately sweet. The bread pudding dessert is phenomenal, but with generous portions, perhaps get a helping to go? It's still fantastic the next day, as are the left-over ribs you'll surely be taking home with you.

A hallmark of a good place is staff longevity. Several of the servers have been there at least as long as I've been visiting,

With the fairly recent addition of event space next door and an outstanding bar area, this is one place I wish we could visit more often. Bravo Chef, keep up the good work.“
