“It was my wife and I’s first time in RI, and this was the best experience we have had since. Definitely our favorite part of the trip. The steak frites was cooked to perfection and flavor. My wife got the bolognese and 👌🏽. 10/10 would and will come again!“

“Ate here for the first time last night and it was amazing. Food was great, but the service was even better! Very friendly and accommodating.“

“Just finished great meal. Huge lobster roll, high quality kids chicken and big beefy kids burger. I had the fish n chips which was amazing! Old Bay fries and what had to be a whole Cod! The best part was Peter N. He was very informative, quick in serving the kids which lets Mom and Dad relax. Such a great day and great meal.“

“We had my daughters graduation dinner here last evening and it was fantastic. Bobby our waiter was exceptional. An experience we will cherish….thank you.“

“We came in Sunday evening for a small dinner and dessert and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and filled our drinks quickly. It was pretty empty when we got there but packed when we left. The food was AMAZING. We shared the short rib special and it was so good! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and bread pudding which were also sooooo good! The restaurant itself was beautiful. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely dine here again!“

“Awesome bartender deserts are over the top“

“Absolutely great food and service. Dined last Saturday evening with two of our teen and preteen grandchildren. All of us enjoyed our meals and the service was on point. This next point deserves mentioning as it speaks to the culture of the establishment: When my granddaughter became ill (NOT food related), the manager came over immediately to help comfort her… she brought hot tea and took her to more private quarters to relax until her discomfort passed. We were impressed and remain grateful for the compassion and level of care exhibited. We will continue to visit again and again in the future. Many thanks!!!“

“Honestly a great cozy breakfast spot right at the bottom of the hotel which makes it super convenient if your trying to get something to eat either first thing in the morning or at the end of your night, the food is also super good so you can't go wrong with anything you pick!“

“very good food but the portions are small especially the. fish and chips“

“They were able to accommodate me on a busy weekend, even let me choose my seat even though I was alone and they had people continuing to arrive. The hostess and waitress were friendly, the food was delicious (pesto shrimp pizza), the view was nice as it's right on the water, and I chose a table that allowed me to see it properly. The band I was particularly happy about- I thought they were fantastic- they played early rock n roll, and I wish I asked their name.

It's a really relaxed atmosphere, not fancy, think old patio furniture. My table was not steady and rocked when you moved, the chairs were plastic, but I didn't mind. If you want a good meal on the water and are not picky about that, I'd recommend this place.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids there.“

“Had dinner at MainSail Restaurant & Lounge tonight while staying at the Marriott, with a large group on the eve of a snowstorm. Carolyn didn’t miss a beat — wine service, cocktails, and everyone’s dinner were handled seamlessly. She was calm, kind, and attentive despite how busy it was. It was perfect. Really appreciated her.“

“Great place! Wonderful staff. Friendly clientele. Lots of fun!“

“First time here and a very enjoyable dinner. Started with the mussels appetizer, which was amazing. The mussels were enormous and were cooked perfectly in a delicious broth served with crisp sourdough. Probably the best mussels we've ever had, and we've had a lot. Entrees were strip loin steak with steakhouse onion rings, and salmon with stir-fried vegetables. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It could have been trimmed a bit better because there were a couple of chewy parts, but taste was excellent. Onion rings were served as 3 giant rings but were quite good along with the dressing accompanying. Salmon was tasty and cooked exactly as ordered. The stir-fried vegetables were a bit spicy and had a bit too much soy sauce flavor. Dessert was introduced as a new item that they are adding to the menu, strawberry-rhubarb creme brulee.It was excellent. Service was generally excellent. Prices were high, but the location is spectacular and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The acoustics of the room are a bit strange because conversations around us seemed to be quite loud and it made it hard to have our own conversation and to hear the server speaking.“
