We had an outstanding experience here on Easter Sunday. From start to finish, everything was excellent—both the food and the service were truly top tier. Our waitress was engaging, personable, and even took the time to share some Rhode Island folklore with us, which made the evening feel extra special.
We’re visiting from Long Island and touring URI, and this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The cod and sole were beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious....read full review

I had the blackened shrimp on a bed of chicken Alfredo pasta with cherry tomatoes and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, it was a special that night and recommended by our waiter and I’m so glad I ordered it, now I would love to have the recipe since I’m from Indiana and may not ever make it back to RI anytime soon, everything else we ordered was fantastic, great food, great staff, I highly recommend this place if your in the area.

Great food and service A+
