Interested in more of a sit-down-with-a-knife-and-
fork-type meal over a quick hit? Look no further.
THE MOORING
Located in the heart of downtown Newport, the Mooring Seafood
Kitchen and Bar is more dockside than seaside. Still, that doesn’t make
the view any less enjoyable. Order a glass of wine and the Portuguese-
roasted Cod and watch as the mega-yachts pull into port. Newport
THE LOBSTER POT
Open since 1929, the Lobster Pot specializes in not only preparing the
finest New England classics, but also blending traditional dishes with
a new and contemporary twist. Order the New England-broiled scrod
or the Atlantic Salmon (grilled, broiled or blackened) and savor the
tastes while you savor the sweeping views of Bristol Harbor. Bristol
SPAIN OF NARRAGANSETT
Every Narragansett native knows that pretty much any occasion worth
celebrating warrants a reservation at Spain of Narragansett. The
family-owned restaurant has been dedicated to serving fresh, cooked-
to-order dishes with a Mediterranean flair since its inception in 1987.
Ask for either the paella Valenciana or the sole Franchese to go with
your table pitcher of the house sangria. Narragansett
BOAT HOUSE
The Boat House’s large terrace overlooking the Sakonnet River is the
perfect place to enjoy a summer day (or night) while savoring some
innovative seafood. Start with a round of crab cakes and follow up with
the restaurant’s signature bouillabaisse. Tiverton
BALLARD’S
Known especially for its beachside setting, yummy alcoholic bever-
ages, frequent musical guests and tendency to throw some of the island’s
best bashes, people sometimes overlook the fact that Ballard’s also
boasts a superb seafood menu. Here’s a reminder: Options include
swordfish a la Siciliana, a fisherman’s platter, seafood pasta and fresh
lobster prepared thirteen different ways. Talk about a jack of all trades!
Block Island
THE COVE RESTAURANT AND MARINA
Situated along the water with a perfect view of the Braga Bridge and the
USS Massachusetts is the Cove Restaurant and Marina. Offering the fresh-
est seafood plus fine American- and European-style cuisine, the Cove
combines the coastal charm of New England with Fall River’s unique ties
to Portuguese culture. Enjoy a mouthwatering plate of the lobster ravioli
or the zesty shrimp Mozambique. Fall River, MA
Oberlin is an expert in both
taste and presentation.
OBERLIN
Headed by award-winning chef, Ben Sukle, Oberlin is where the
waters of Japan meet the fields of Tuscany. But if you’re particularly
interested in the water-influenced part of the menu, we recommend
the marinated mussels or the raw Black Bass with olive oil and
lemon. Providence
