The view is great. Food was just ok for the price they charge and the food ordering system was to disorganized. Most staff seemed miserable.

We were looking forward to dinner here based on the great location and a solid menu. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking. The buns on both of our sandwiches were burnt black. We didn't say anything because the bartender was the primary service person (order from the bar, which doesn't bother us) and he seemed super pissed off during every interaction with customers. We just ate the meat off our sandwich and left.

Overall good spot for take out! Super good street corn but the chips were stale. Also got a handheld that was supposed to come with potato salad but didn’t which was a lil disappointing, but the handheld itself was super good. Quality of the food we got minus the chips though was great!

Painfully inefficient ordering system. Not capable of handling the crowds that this locations attracts. You wait for a table (for us 30 mins, and the phone paging system didn’t work) Then you leave your table to wait in line to order your food. There’s 1 person taking orders for the whole restaurant.
Food quality unable to justify the wait times.

Originally, came here after reading the Beach Bar reviews, didn't realize it was the same spot. Tuna poke bowl was plenty of food when considering higher prices for Block Island destination tax. Fish tacos were small, only 2 and nothing exciting. Strong drinks.

The food and view were great, but I didn’t like the self service ordering, plastic utensils (for cutting $33 steak frites!), or plastic drink ware. The two bartenders were taking all food orders and serving drinks and they seemed real average. My steak frites was very good and my wife liked her salmon. If they’re short on staff, instead of waiting in line to place an order, why not use a kiosk or QR code?

Great food, beautiful view - Even on a rainy day. Great chicken sandwich!!
Worst Mac n cheese. Absolutely zero flavor to it. When returned the bartender made a comment about “what do you expect when you get Mac n cheese”. i expect Mac n cheese not water flavored noodles. The guy also talked badly another table as well. Spoke to a manager and was given a free drink but still doesn’t make up for childish behavior

The food and service was really good. The only thing that was different was placing the order at bar (which was fine).
My bf & I went here a couple of times during our visit to BI & every time was great! Our favorite meal was the surf burger & fries. We also had the Caesar salad which was delicious & my bf had the lobster roll which he also enjoyed! The view is always the best & the vibes are awesome. The Surf is one of our favorite restaurants on the island.
Always a fantastic experience! The best way to start my day on BI!

The view was amazing. But the food was subpar. We got the Ceviche and Roasted Chicken. The chicken was bland and was a small portion. Only decent thing were the beans that accompanied it. Then the ceviche was mediocre, it just tasted like tomato juice. And the avocado didn't taste or feel like avocado, just a weird paste. Food doesn't have to be conventional, i get it, but the execution isn't it, especially for the price.

Great location, but terrible restaurant. You are required to approach the bar from your table in order to place orders. The medium rare steak I ordered came back beyond well done and when i questioned a “server” it was shrugged off. If I pay $33 for 8 ounces of steak, I expect it to be cooked to order. On top of this, you are required to get your own water at a restaurant priced in the 4 star range. This wouldn’t really be a big deal if the water pitcher didn’t have hair in it which then poured into my friend’s cup. There was also hair found in someone’s mac and cheese. We asked the manager to assist us and she refunded the mac and cheese but gave us an attitude for everything else. Unacceptable service and the food wasn’t much better.

Loved this place but taking a star off as they could use compostable cups ?
