Amazing seafood always fresh and perfectly cooked. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I had waited to whole summer to come here and was finally able to last night and am beyond disappointed. We didn’t even get to try the food because the service was so bad. I understand it’s the end of the season and at this point the workers are over it, but that is no reason to have such poor service. We arrived right before 7 and sat in the back row of the tent. It took about 15 minutes for our waitress to come over. My husband was ready to leave after 10, but insisted we stayed because he knew how much I wanted to try the food. I have been a caregiver to my father, work full time and have a mother in the hospital in Boston for the last 4 months and needed this to put a smile on my face. The funny thing was our waitress had the table right in front of us and came to their table 3 times to check on things and ask about dessert. She came back and brought them a check and then returned again to pick up the signed check and say goodnight to them. At no point did she even acknowledge us. Eventually she came over, took our order, stopped at another table that just walked in, greeted them took their drink order and then put our drinks and their drinks in at the same time . The other table waited 2 minutes for service. When our drinks arrived after the other table for theirs the waitress casually mentioned to me they didn’t have the clam strips. She stated that they were so busy she forgot to tell us after we placed our order. This was the only thing on the menu my husband ordered. He asked for a menu and she said no problem. She never came back with a menu. I watched her walk in and walk right past the menus. She then had a conversation with another server, she took a food order to a table inside and checked on another table. I got up and went inside to get a menu. When I asked for it she said “ oh yeah , we are slammed” I’m not sure what she considers slammed, but if 2 tables insides and maybe 10 outside is slammed, I’d hate to see how the services is when it’s the middle of the summer and a beautiful day. I personally ordered whole belly clams, chowder and a lobster roll for myself. My husband was going to settle on the burger , but I was so upset with the lack of service and care. It definitely felt as though my husband and I were not welcome or wanted. I decided to just pay for our drinks and leave. The waitress didn’t even seem to care we were leaving and said, “sorry it’s the end of the season”. We didn’t leave because you didn’t have food, we left because the server was terrible and definitely let us know that we were not welcome. This will not be added to the list of places black people should spend their money in Rhode Island.

Always a must visit when in tiverton (provided its the right season) deliciously fresh seafood served with an idyllic seascape view. I've sampled quite a lot of the menu, and my vote is for the fish and chips. They're delicious, and the oil has always tasted fresh to me. I recommend stopping by in the sunset hours, even if just for the view. Beautiful scenics and fresh air feasting. Food: 5

We like to eat here. We drive from Boston once or twice during summer. The food is really fresh and they do a great job with fried seafood. It is crispy and delicate and not greasy. The shells were amazing, the biggest bells I've ever seen.

We stopped there today on our way back home, for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service was over the top for sure! Nice place if you are looking for local/fresh food with awesome service.
