In the late 1800’s, the United States Life Saving Service, now known as the US Coast Guard, built a station of solid granite perched overlooking Narragansett Bay. The architects, responsible for the resilient building, are the famed McKim, Mead & White. Today it is home to the Coast Guard House Restaurant.
Local seafood in a circa-1945 haunt; the upstairs deck bar & dining area has panoramic ocean views.

I really enjoyed my experience at the coast guard house. I dined there in December with my hubby to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was romantic in the anchor room and decorated for the holiday. There was a welcoming fireplace and view of the ocean. We were well attended to by an extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food was yummy for the time of year. They have an extensive wine menu which was wonderful. I had chilled oysters which I loved and clam linguine which I enjoyed as well. My first experience was definitely memorable and I would recommend.

Limited menu but decent food. Excellent staff/ service in a historic building with awesome waterfront views. Love the design of the arched crossover/ drive under. Our server Megan was absolutely a Jem! She gave great insights which helped us select our meals etc and seemed honest/ down to earth. We visited in the winter because we could tell it will probably be hard to get reservations during warm weather.

We had a really excellent dinner at The Coast Guard House. Even though our plans changed and we arrived 30 minutes before our 7:30PM reservation at 7PM on a Saturday night, they were still able to seat us right away at a table right next to the windows with a view of the crashing waves.
We were starving, so we ordered the popcorn shrimp appetizer right away instead of ordering any drinks. Our waitress, Susan B., was totally accommodating and put that order in right away, then gave us plenty of time to decide what other food we would have. She also thoughtfully told us the specials right away.
The popcorn shrimp appetizer was a great start, but we were really impressed with the greens & grains salad that we ordered as our second course. It was a little bit sweet from the house champagne vinaigrette and the almond granola, so the saltiness of the feta cheese it was served with provided a perfect balance. The restaurant can divide the salad onto two plates for a $2.00 charge, but we just shared off of a single plate since we had our bread and butter plates.
For entrees, the lobster mac & cheese was really excellent with lots of lobster mixed into and placed on top of the mac & cheese. But, the linguine seafood pasta special was the best plate of the night. The sauce it was served in was delicious, and the dish had lobster and other seafood that just really brought it home.
The holiday decor in the restaurant (in December 2025) was charming and the views of the bay, even at night, were nice. There was plenty of free street parking along Ocean Rd close to the restaurant, but they also offer valet parking.
Very highly recommend The Coast Guard House and can’t wait to return!

Ocean meets winter in this wonderful oasis. The food was incredible, but the highlight of the experience was the serene sound of the ocean mixed with personalized service. During our time, we had the pleasure of having Johnny as our server. Think of someone you just met that you think to yourself “man, I wanna be friends with that guy.” Would recommend asking for him if you get a chance. We need more people with a zest for life and genuine care like Johnny. A great destination for those looking to put a new spin on a favorite summertime destination.

First time visit. What can you say beyond the obvious, coastal dining at its finest. We made lunch reservations online 20 minutes before arriving. Complimentary valet, excellent! We were seated immediately upon arrival and treated to an amazing ocean view.
After reviewing the menu we placed our order. There was a 30% discount on selected bottles which for us was a lovely pilot origin.
Within a short time our food arrived. My wife was going light witj the lobster bisque and a house salad. I chose the special which was a penne with shrimp and scallops served in a delightful cream sauce.
Our lunch was beyond our expectations. Coupled with the view made for an amazing dining adventure. Service and food were excellent. Enjoy.

We went to the Coast Guard House for the first time last night, for my significant other’s birthday dinner. The free valet parking was very nice, and made a great impression from the start.
We were early for our igloo reservation, so we stopped at the bar for a pre-dinner drink. Jim, our bar server, was very personable & professional. The bar has a nice vibe -and Jim is part of the reason for that!
The hostess (who’s name escapes me) was able to get us into our igloo a bit early.
The igloo’s (which have a $100 upcharge) are very cool, and worth it for a special occassion! (I should mention that these 6 igloos allowed the Coast Guard House to remain open during COVID -keeping their staff employed.) They each have a different theme. Ours was named “Bountiful” -think Autumn. They have an electric fireplace, a heater, and a bluetooth speaker that you cak connect to and use your playlist, Sirius, etc. They can hold 8 people. Nice sofas, tables, & had a basket of blankets as well.
Our server Nick was very attentive, and teriffic overall, with one exception that I’ll get into at the end of my review.
It was Vintage Tuesday (20% orr any bottle) so we bought a nice Montepulciano which we enjoyed.
We planned on a half dozen oysters (Mystic) and half dozen littlenecks. Nick suggested their Anchor Platter -which added 2 huge shrimp to them. That was a good move!
For entrées Pam had the Salmon which she really enjoyed. I had the pasta special: chopped scallops, shrimp, & lobster in a cream sauce on papperdelle. I was surprised by how much lobster it had, and it was delicious
For dessert, we shared a piece of cheesecake, coated in graham cracker crumbs. It was tasty! However, my reservation had a birthday notation, and I reminded the restaurant through their Open Table texting that it was a birthday (which they said they knew from the reservation.) They said to tell our server and they would put a candle on the dessert for her. I made sure Nick knew it was her birthday as well. …No candle on the dessert. Certainly an oversight, but it was a special occassion & I did my part 3 times. I’d love to give the Service a 5 -because it was, other than this. I wish there was a 4.8 option, but there is not. Ignoring this would not be helpful to the next person with a birthday.
We will certainly be back again!

I had a night planned for months that could have gone completely off the rails — and thanks to the incredible team at the The Coast Guard House, it turned into a truly perfect evening.
My wife’s birthday is February 13th, followed immediately by Valentine’s Day, so I wanted to plan something special. Four months ago I reserved one of the igloos for February 15th, invited friends, coordinated with the kids, and even arranged to pick up her favorite gluten-free donuts instead of a cake. Everything was set.
Fast forward to the day of our reservation. My kids and friends were already there when my son called to say they couldn’t find the reservation. We were 10 minutes away, sitting in the car together, and there was no turning back. When we arrived, the staff kindly searched everywhere, but the igloos were fully booked and my confirmation email had mysteriously vanished.
This is the moment where many people would get upset or start pointing fingers — but that didn’t happen. Instead, the staff and ownership immediately focused on solutions. The owner personally stepped in and arranged a table for us in a beautiful spot overlooking the water. No stress, no blame, just genuine hospitality and care.
What could have been a disaster became one of the best nights we’ve had in a long time. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the company were all perfect.
Thank you to the entire team for turning a stressful situation into such a memorable and special evening. It truly meant a lot to us.

The location is ideal for the coastal area.
They have both indoor and outdoor seats. The beach offers an additional soothing and vibrant atmosphere.
They have a variety of cuisines with a focus on seafood. The price is a little bit high. The service was good.
The linguine with clams and fried calamari is the best among all, and I highly recommend it. The clams are literally fresh, combined with the savoury sauces.The outside of the calamari is crispy but yet very chewy. The pork chop was good. The crab cake is incredibly soft.

Our family (ages 74-7 months) enjoyed a perfect lunch in the igloos yesterday. Toasty inside in spite of single digit temperatures and gusty winds. Our server Harrison is the best–friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Food is always amazing at CGH, and drinks are delightful. Highly recommend this Oceanside treat!

Our experience was wonderful. After a long day on the road, the staff were polite and friendly, we listened to the waves crashing against the rocks while we ate a delicious meal. The Shrimp Chowder was delicious and the Scallops cooked to perfection melted in your mouth. Highly recommend making this a destination stop.
