Stephanie Griffin: The Clam Chowder is excellent! My friend said her turkey panini was great! Wonderful service also.
Amanda Burd: Excellent cajun scallops!! Also had Green Flash West Coast IPA on tap. Habanero spicy wings are delicious and require a waiver to order.
Ryan Smith: Knowledgeable wait staff and large menu. Heartily recommend the local RI beers, the swordfish (in season), and the lobster bisque. Fantastic!
Casey Hogan: Top menu choices: Steak Frittes, Salmon & gnocchi, the burger (hands down the best burger I've ever had) & the lobster mac & cheese. Also cran-apple crisp and berries & dark choc are awesome desserts.
Jeiran Hasan: Sit by the fireplace in the winter. I love that this is the oldest tavern in the US. Fish was delicious, along with lobster bisque. Clam chowder isn't creamy like you would expect, more brothy.
Chloe H: Clear broth chowder is salty, but delicious. Lobster BLT makes a great lunch.

Doreen Dinour: Super romantic. Grab a table on the 2nd floor by the windows, get a bottle of wine and some delicious seafood and you'll love it. Don't forget to order the snowball dessert!
Binta Brown: Best crab cake ever. Amazing local oysters. Sole entree definitely enough for two people. Full and happy. Will def return!
Kelly Cleaver-McNally: Fabulous menu and service. Great place to have a chowder and drink by one of the 2 fireplaces. Filet and Peppered Tuna a favorite, and the Snowball in Hell! Don't miss!

Jane Booth: Incredible guacamole, spicy tuna tostada (the seaweed salad that comes with it is awesome) and fish tacos. The cocktails are all great, but I'm partial to the Hemingway daiquiri.
Lindsay C: For brunch highly recommend the cod hash (ask for a side of avocado) and top with Cholula. Yum!!!
Polina L: Fish tacos and house made margaritas!!!
Esther Leibel: Lovely setting, especially if you get a table with the Ocean view. We had the three-course menu. Fish and seafood were fresh and delicious. Good wine selection--we loved the Chardonnay Kendall.
