A spontaneous stop for an early dinner turned into a great experience! We came by boat and sat at the bar. The bartender was awesome, the food was fantastic and as we walked out, we asked the bartender if she would be there next week and she said yes, every night because she owned the restaurant. I should also mention that the espresso martinis were fantastic as well.

Tates is fantastic… Not pretentious or unassuming, but the food quality can’t be beat. We eat out all the time, and Tates has worked its way into our regular rotation. Hard to do with so many good options in the West Bay… But it should definitely be on your list.
And the owner, Karen, is wonderful!

Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and the sweetest owner, Karen. She took the time to talk with us and made our family feel so welcome. One of those places that feels special the moment you walk in. Can’t wait to come back

The owner noticed me outside taking photos next door and invited me into her establishment also. Very accommodating and generous with her space and access. I have actually eaten at this establishment in years gone by and found it delicious, but the details elude me. 5 stars on friendliness and service from all I encountered.

I cannot say enough good things about Tate’s, their staff, and the area. During the pandemic my family did its best to support local restaurants with take out each Friday. We kept returning to Tate’s and have done so regularly for the last five years. The menu offers what is fresh and in season, and the bread homemade next door at Mickey’s (pizza – don’t miss that, either). The bar is a wonderful perch for dinner and cocktails, and the conversation is always lively. No matter how many times I have made my great grandmother’s bolognese, Tate’s is incredible. Wonderful homemade desserts as well. I have sent so many friends and neighbors here. Don’t miss it!

Don’t let the modest exterior fool you. The food is exquisite. My wife and I went there for a lovely dinner. We started with the very best beet salad that we had ever had. The combo of the goat cheese, arugala, beets, on a base of a roasted cashew nut paste was truly amazing. Hats off to the chef on creativity and execution.
My wife had the chicken parmagiana and I the eggplant parmagiana. (ok, a bit boring). Perfectly done, but maybe not the best ever. However–both dishes came with a side of homemade pasta that was outstanding. So, be sure to get a dish with their pasta when you are there–don’t miss it.
The atmosphere was between a 4 and 5 star for me. Because Wickford is a sort of beachy, Narragansett historic village, 5 stars is justified by the decor. In a less beachy environ, it would have brought fewer stars.
Has a fully stocked bar, and enjoyed a cocktail there also.
All in all, a very pleasant experience. Bravo to the chef and owner.

I grew up in Rhode Island and am here visiting with friends after I moved away. I brought my husband (an Italian man from New York) with me to RI for the first time. Despite all of the amazing food we have had during our vacation here, this was by far his favorite experience. The food was incredible!!! Our group got various entrees and we were all super happy with what we got. The desserts were also phenomenal. The drinks were perfect! The restaurant was clean and super cozy. It is a very comfortable atmosphere. Karen, the owner, personally served our table and was so friendly and attentive. She was also very witty and so warm and welcoming. We felt very at home here and plan to go there next time we visit Rhode Island. I highly recommend this restaurant!

This was our first time at Tate’s and we were greeted by very personable and welcoming staff. Our drink order was taken promptly upon our arrival and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our Manhattan and Dirty Martini. Dinner was simply delicious. It was apparent that fresh high quality ingredients were used to put these dishes together. There wasn’t a crumb left on either of our plates as we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We look forward to visiting again in the near future. Well done!
