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!!

Steamers were not very good. Lobster rolls were good. Lobster club good. None of the food was exceptional. Atmosphere was fun.

We enjoyed a great lunch on a high top in the bar area. I was able to have a gluten free Tuna dish, they do offer a gf “soy sauce” option. Service was great and our server was knowledgeable about gluten free options. They do not have a designated gf fryer. Great atmosphere inside and out. The outside does offer seating with a view and cornhole games for guest to play.

Part of my Block Island tradition is enjoying a lobster club sandwich at The Oar, and this trip I came with a group of nine. When we checked in, we were told we were the only large party, yet we ended up waiting what felt like an hour. When I mentioned this to our waitress, she snapped back that it had been “39 minutes.” I asked her to double-check, and soon after we were told our table was being cleaned and would be ready in 10 minutes.
When we walked up, the manager George, who I’ve seen here throughout more than a decade of visits, was his usual warm and genuine self. He personally apologized for the delay, and that sincerity more than made up for the rocky start.
Once seated, our experience turned around completely. Our waitress Lindsay was an absolute gem! Kind, attentive, and patient, even with three fussy kids in the mix. The food was excellent as always, and The Oar continues to deliver on the reasons it remains a staple in my Block Island rotation.

We had the grilled chicken sandwiches for lunch. It was So-So. I've had better. The mudslide drink was way too thick and I've had better mudslides also.
