Oh how we love the Olympia Tea Room! It’s always a highlight of our trip to Watch Hill. We’ve never had a bad meal there. The menu has a wide range of options for all palates. Our granddaughter is particularly fond of their oysters on the half shell, I had perfectly prepared Cod and my husband a burger (pretty much his number one choice when dining out if they’re on the menu so I’d say his rating holds up pretty good) and he deemed it delicious. We don’t go to Watch Hill every year but when we do the Olympia Tea Room is a “must-do” stop.

Update just had a fantastic dinner on Last night. Paella on the specials blew my mind. On their seasonal opening night, I got their pizza margarita and beef scaloppini super fresh, light, excellent I’m always happy w this place – Best Lobster roll – huge – on a croissant and epic portions. bartender is out of this world. Best sunset view in RI. I always bring my friends here when we are in town. Drinks are always top notch and service is friendly. It’s been owned by the same family for years, lot of history about the place. Menu is frequently updated to feature whats good at certain times of the summer and fall. I recommend to everyone I know to check the place out when they head up there.

All and all this was a decent experience. However, a couple hours after returning to our hotel, my boyfriend came down with horrible food poisoning which we attribute to a bad oyster (he eats oysters regularly). Typically I wouldn’t get to a place where I would even leave a review, because things happen and we get that. However when I called to discuss it with a manager she was quite dismissive as well as defensive. She told be 5 plus times, “he could have touched a dirty doorknob, if you know what I mean”. My significant other has been around for 5 plus decades and has touched many a “dirty doorknob” in his day and has never gone down for a day and a half from anything…if you know what I mean! We just wanted to make sure to let this establishment know, in case other people were getting sick as well…and her overall tone was just condescending and less than sensitive!

Excellent food as always. The Caesar Salad is excellent and the sausage is phenomenal. This time around we got the haddock appetizer and it was great (pictured image).

Located at the ne plus ultra of Watch Hill, this is “the place to be” to enjoy the sights and sounds of Summer. To start the day or end it, here is where to do it. The restaurant is located on a Main Street with a, cross the water view, that can be enjoyed al fresco or inside with an air conditioned view. It has a time out of mind feel. Could have looked this way 75 years ago and still fit perfectly on this street. No reservations taken here. Parking can be a challenge because most of the available is for local residents only. Also limited parking from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Or you can just pay the $40-$50 to park in one of the lots. Either way, it’s all worth it. Drink menu was on point with a few seasonal martinis and a expansive wine selection. One of the daily specials was tuna poke, and it was delicious. Sea food and land food available here. Good menu for kids also.

Olympia Tea Room is a Watch Hill institution. The menu is eclectic. The food is delicious. I had a Greek salad and calimari. Delicious. The restaurant is located across from the Watch Hill Yacht Club. Beautiful views of the water and sunset. Come for the ambiance, stay for the food.

The bad: very slow service sitting outside tonight (very slow drinks, forgot bread, server continually disappeared), linguine and clams was a 5/10 (not very flavorful, barely any sauce)

The Olympia Tea Room, along with the Watch Hill Carousel are perhaps the two most enduring institutions in southern Rhode Island. I have been going to the Olympia for more than 40 years. Three Greek brothers, Theo, Spiros, and another whose name escapes me were running it in the 1960s. I believe they were the founders. They really took good care of customers then. As I recall they sold SS Pierce brand can goods from the restaurant—they were stacked on shelves. The atmosphere, the waiters/waitresses always dressed in black and white, were something right out of a classic film. You should go there if just for a coffee and desert.

Hostess was not welcoming. Bread basket was tasteless, one of the dipping sauces was straight up olive oil with no seasonings. My greek salad was good; however, small. Daughter said ceaser dressing tasted funny. Food was EXTREMELY overpriced and just mediocre. Will not be going back.
