Way back in 1975, the Sail Loft lit the fire for Steve Silverstein, who went on to open nearly 40 restaurants. Located in the quintessential seaside village of Padanaram, it was the neighborhood place where you could get a good (strong) drink, chef prepared comfort food and relax in a convivial atmosphere with familiar faces. The Sail Loft was everyone’s favorite place; it was a hangout where some came for food and others for drink.When the Sail Loft became available in 2021, Steve jumped on the opportunity to take the wheel. Steve and his wife Judy transformed the Sail Loft into an elevated neighborhood restaurant with a distinct updated boatyard feel. The spot is nautical with a chef-driven yet approachable menu, a deep selection of spirts and an intriguing wine list. As with all of Silverstein’s places, while the food, drink and design are always top-notch, it is the warm hospitality that keeps ‘em coming back.

A must-visit if you're in New Bedford. Fantastic food, with views of the boats tied up right outside the window. The salmon was excellent, as was the clam chowder.

Cisco Kitchen held a New Year's Sushi Brunch that was excellent. Their sushi is always good but the brunch took it to another level - Selection of different sushis, different noodle dishes, miso soup and other Asian dishes. All for $30 per person which is a genuine bargain. I'm glad we were able to attend - Thank you Cisco kitchen and your chefs!
