    I celebrated my birthday here just last week. 7/5 We started with the calamari, which was amazing and had fish tacos as the entrée . The service was great. The staff surprised me by singing happy birthday, that was so cute We had a table by the window, which overlooks the water. you have a choice of also sitting outside if you prefer

    Lobster roll
    Lorianne W.

    So good. Visiting the state for the first time and found this gem on Yelp. Staff was kind Ambiance was awesome and views overlook a nice lake. Food - delicious. Lobster roll - 9 out of 10. The bun was delicious and they gave a hefty amount of lobster. Seasoned to perfection Clam cakes- 4 out of 10. Tasted more like a fish fritter with a lot of dough and filling. Baked stuff lobster - 9 out of 10. Would recommend and would have again. Seafood with a red pasta - 9.6 out of 10. My favorite. (I don't remember the name of this dish). Overall delicious and they gave huge portions. Will definitely come back here again.

    I'd have never known this place was here!! It's set back along the water and not on a main road. I met a friend for lunch and immediately liked the atmosphere inside. Service was excellent. We each got appetizers and entrees. I thought the clam chowder was pretty good. The clam cakes were a bit chewy but I've never had them before so maybe that's typical. The calamari was tasty. My scallop entree was ok, nothing memorable. I prefer larger diver scallops to the small type used in this dish. I didn't like the mashed squash I chose as my side. The server did say she'd bring something else but I had more than enough food already. My friend really enjoyed the fish tacos. I thought the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes. I would come back here and would like to try the fish and chips next time.

    This is a gem in the area. A classic New England seafood place right by the harbor for the perfect ambience. Charlene was a friendly and perfect server. The calamari was tender and had great flavor. Our main entrees were delicious as well. The fish sandwich was a huge thick piece of cod that was moist and full of flavor. The baked scallops were a classic with rice pilaf and broccoli. We are planning to move up here in a few years and this will definitely be one of our regular seafood spots!

    Perfect day to sit outside and eat fish tacos! They were lightly breaded and came with corn salsa and a small sprinkling of homemade coleslaw. My husband enjoyed his eggplant sub which came with fries. Olivia was a sweet waitress and her suggestions help steer us to good choices .

    Had a pretty pleasant experience at the Crows Nest. Our work group bombarded them on a Sunday evening with two giant tables, but our server handled that like a pro and was very attentive to our needs and splitting checks etc. the room we were in was nice and had a fun fish tank backdrop. I'm not from RI, so of course I had to order all the foods I can't get in NE. Went with the baked stuffed lobster, it was a great amount of food, and I enjoyed it but after seeing the traditional butter variation had some regret of not going with the classic version. I also enjoyed the creamy NE clam chowder soup. The server talked up most of their sides and could not really give a concrete recommendation for one, so I went with the mashed potatoes, and will say that was the only underwhelming part of the meal, as their was nothing special about them, but I had enough lobster to not worry about eating them. Also enjoyed a classic old fashioned for my drink. Pricing at the time for the lobster was around $55, seemed pretty reasonable for the amount of lobster given.

    Loved it ! Food was excellent and the service was even better. We went with our little one and the waitress was so good to our baby!

    Atmosphere was beautiful, they also have an outdoor patio which is perfect for summer dining! The parking lot was almost full when we arrived and there really wasn't on-street parking available either, luckily one spot opened up for me. Our waitress was polite and attentive, and the food came out in a reasonable time. Food was delicious and they give you warm bread, which I'm a huge fan of! Noise level was a little loud but it was very busy too. I would definitely go back again.

    Lobster mac and cheese
    Kent S.

    Rating: 3.5 Came to try the place for dinner. It was pretty busy but we were able to be sat down relatively quickly as it's a large establishment. The place has its own parkings available. Inside is pretty typical of seafood restaurant around the area but with larger scale and do offer outside seatings as well. We ordered raw seafood sampler to start and i got lobster mac and cheese. Started with some bread and butter. Simple but solid. Seafood sampler was okay. Came with 6 oysters, shrimp and cherrystones. Oyster was probably the best and the horseradish sauce was also pretty good. Cherry stones were small and didn't have a-lot of meat and shrimp tasted and felt like frozen. Lobster mac and cheese was pretty tasty. Lots of cheese and al dente macaroni and good mount of lobster meat. Only thing is that there was a piece of lobster shell mixed in. My partner got the fish and chips and substituted coleslaw for steamed broccoli but they forgot the broccoli. We asked the waitress and they brought the broccoli quickly. Service was decent but they did forget the broccoli side. Overall the place was ok. Nothing really stood out and the price was on the higher end but without a good reason. Lobster shell piece in a lobster mac and cheese and missing broccoli side instead of coleslaw didn't help. Probably would not come back

    Nice hidden gem! Was in town for a wedding and grabbed a drink and snack. The lobster roll was great! Staff extremely friendly and nice outdoor seating. Would definitely return.

    It was my first time trying Crows Nest and has been on my hit list for months now, I am happy I finally got a chance to try it. The restaurant was wide open and quiet but the hostess sat us in the worst seat of the house so I asked to move. The waitress was so sweet and very accommodating and moved our seats into a booth with no hesitation. She turned the experience right around and was attentive, friendly, and quick. The restaurant is located by the water in Warwick. It has a modern nautical atmosphere. The restaurant is super clean! One of my favorite things is the thoughtful decor. It gave Rhody vibes with a beautiful fish tank, octopus wallpaper, and a seashell chandelier. I do wish that the food matched the atmosphere. For the price on the menus, I was disappointed that they have frozen broccoli vs. fresh broccoli. I got a wide variety of food to try: the stuffies, chowder & clam cakes, stuffed shrimp, Caesar salad, and boneless fried chicken. My favorite thing was the stuffies.

    This restaurant is right next to a marina and has a great view of the water. The decor is nice and coastal. The hostess and server were great! Now onto the star of the show, the food and drinks! Both of our cocktails were delicious and well made. The lobster roll phenomenal and the stuffed shrimp were also very yummy. Definitely a place worth stopping in for a lunch with a beautiful view! Parking can be limited, but that is the only negative!

    Do they offer gluten free options?

    I believe they do. Check on line at crowsnestri.com or call them at (401) 732-6575

    Is this restaurant expensive?

    No, it's pretty reasonable. The lobster roll, for example, is going to be based on market price, but everything else seemed pretty standard.

    In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

The restaurant wasn't too busy, but there was a steady crowd. People were either dining in or picking up to-go orders. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, so there are plenty of areas to dine. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I decided to go with the seared salmon, Brussels sprouts, and corn risotto. Thankfully, it wasn't much of a wait because I was hungry. My food came out fresh and hot. Everything was really delicious. My only complaint was there were a few flies swarming around me, which made my dining experience less enjoyable. I spent most of my time trying to swat them away. The bartender even moved me to another spot, but they still followed me. While I really enjoyed my food and the service, it might be a good idea for them to invest in small table fans to keep the flies away. Otherwise, my food was tasty, and the service was great!

They do have parking available which is nice since there area mostly only have street parking. Inside is pretty large and they have lots of tables and counter. It was not too busy so we were sat down right away. They did have some easter specials but i ended up getting Fried chicken sandwich and deviled eggs. Deviled egg came out quickly. It was ok looked kind of sad as seen on the picture. Rest of the food took a while for it to come out which was weird because it wasn't that busy. Maybe short staffed. Finally the food arrived. Fried chicken sandwich was honestly not that great. Looked like it was fried too long, darkened. The cut did not have a lot of meat and it was very dry. The sauce and brioche bun helped it to balance it a bit. Fries were good. Overall the food was ok at best. We decided to try their dessert. We got the easter special egg cheese cake and carrot cake. The desert was excellent. Egg cheese cake had egg and nest looking chocolate frosting which made it look in theme for easter. It had nice creamy cheese flavor with chocolate frosting and good crust at the bottom. Carrot cake was moist and delicious. Service was ok. We had a new server that seemed like was not fully trained yet with knowledge about their menu. Wait was long for the main meal. I can see that she was trying though. Overall the place was ok. Food quality seemed to be inconsistent with the menus. If anything i would come back for the desert if they have the cheese cake around again.

We definitely will not be coming back. The Food: Lobster Bisque: Truly tragic and disappointing. It was essentially a bowl of flavorless orange soup with just one single, flimsy piece of lobster in it. Sticky Calamari: Completely missed the mark. The calamari itself was undercooked and served covered in a sugary mixture that lacked any depth. It was surprisingly bland despite the sauce. Raw Platters: We ordered two separate raw platters, but the kitchen combined everything onto one single platter without telling us. Because no staff member communicated this when dropping off the food, one person ate the entire platter assuming it was just theirs. The Service: The lack of communication was the biggest issue of the night. After our waitress took our initial order, she vanished. She never came back to check on our table, offer drink refills, or see how the food was. The plates were simply dropped at the table with zero follow-up. The only time she finally asked if we enjoyed our meal was when it was time for us to pack up and leave. The decor was simple for EG but very tight. Overall, a 2 out of 5 across the board. Between the mismanaged food, lack of flavor, and absent service, it wasn't worth it.
