Reviews
This is really a beautiful restaurant on the Rhode Island side of the Pawcatuck River in Westerly. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but once you enter you look out over the river through very large windows in the back of the restaurant.
We ordered the New England clam chowder and the Fish Burrito. The clam chowder broth was watery and the clams looked old and were not that plentiful and, they were very chewy. I guess we should have paid the extra buck and had cream in the broth, but that’s not how NE chowder is generally served.
The haddock in the burrito was very tasty, but the burrito itself was massive and stuffed with rice, so much so, it was hard to find the haddock. It was just too much stuffing and quite unappetizing to look at really. The wrapping itself was delicious but we usually only eat part of that favoring instead what’s inside. The french fires, on the other hand, were simply fantastic.
They have what appears to be a nice oyster bar. Several ladies sitting next to us were devouring fresh clams or oysters which looked delicious. Saw another dude eating what seemed like a terrific burger. Guess we made the wrong choice.
Our server was very efficient and friendly. And, the portion sizes were fine. However, in the end it was a disappointing experience.
Their cocktails were great, I particularly liked “The Gaslighter.” We also had oysters and shrimp cocktail, which was great! For my entree I had scallops, which were amazing.
Service was great and they have parking right out front. I definitely recommend!
