Great cocktails, appetizers and oysters. Impressive service. Musty smell indoors. Main dishes weren’t great - especially the seafood cappelini (very bland watery sauce, pasta had no flavor).

Excellent dinner with 3 others. Seafood Cioppino and Scallops were the prime courses chosen by the group. The raw oysters (from Narragansett, not the local Great Salt Pond) were very good, and moderate brine. French 75 cocktail was excellent, but the famous Blackberry Martini was lacking…tasted like straight vodka with coarsely puréed blackberries. No sweetness nor lime twang of the famous Riker concoction of years ago. Needed some tweaking. Had the martinis been like before, easily a 5 star dinner. Server Sydney was excellent!

We had a good meal, our server was outstanding. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. It was a lovely setting, just off the main road hustle but felt miles away because it was such a calm area.

Beautiful dining room. As it was October we sat inside. During summer months we would sit outside. The gardens are beautiful. The menu tends to be a lot of fish but there are other options. Highly recommend.

The outdoor setting is certainly nice and quiet. The duck was very good, although it seemed like less than half a duck.The chiapino broth was excellent, but all of the ingredients were tasteless, the scallops, the fish, the shrimp, even the last of us. Tasted like the broth was freshly made, and the ingredients were frozen. Not what you would expect from an upscale restaurant.
