Best Mudslide on the island- don’t forget the peanut butter whisky floater on top! Highly recommend any of the sushi and the blackened mahi sandwich!

The Oar is a must-visit spot on Block Island! Located right on the Great Salt Pond, it offers beautiful waterfront views that perfectly capture the island vibe. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and welcoming, with indoor and outdoor seating that makes it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The menu has something for everyone, from fresh sushi and raw bar selections to classic New England favorites like lobster rolls, clam chowder, and seafood platters. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Pair that with a cold drinks, and it’s the perfect island dining experience. A Block Island staple that lives up to the hype.

Happy to update my review as The Oar has added some new lawn-side picnic table seating! One of our favorite places to eat on the island and the water view and service are both wonderful. Was back just this summer and they’ve added some great new additions to the menu - highly recommend for lunch or dinner! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great quality and service, consistently good every time. Gorgeous view. Must go early or you will have to wait a loooong time to be seated. Hoping they will expand their seating so I can give them 5 stars!

Best sushi on the island!

Jeff was a spectacular waiter. He never made us feel that he was too busy even though it was packed. He made our day with his positivity and smile. The woman behind the bar sadly was blatantly annoyed being there... The girl checking us in was definitely not happy. California rolls were delicious as was lobster rolls. We had dinner one evening and hamburgers were meh...we would definitely go back for sushi ... Jeff... And the view

The food is good quality , not quite enough quantity for the price. Prices were in line for what you pay to look out on the beautiful salt pond and marina. Atmosphere is charming but then I like boats.

The waitress Mija was rude and unapologetic and so was the server. The fried fish entree with rice was served with the rice very cold as if it was not cooked. Then the server took it back and just reheated the plate without having the cook prepare a fresh plate. It is not worth the price for such poor service. The manager did not charge us for the fish entree only because we stated our dissatisfaction with our meal. The waitress and server should have checked on us to see if we were satisfied or should have offered to remove the charge. We will not be back. Thank you

The food was so yummy, the drinks were great, the atmosphere was lovely, and Mark, our server, was the cherry on top! He took great care of us, gave us tips about stuff to do for after dinner, and was very accommodating of our various allergies and dietary restrictions. I hope he’s our server again next time!!
