Great seafood , been going there for years . New owners bought it so for the first time last month I and others went there. I absolutely always loved their fried clams and it was filled with them. They were still good when I went last month since new owners , but the amount of fried clams were much less than previous owners. Still were delicious though. read more

This is for the oysters . Had them Before and was not a fan. Our party this time wanted to try them. They were so unappealing and looked more like oysters out of a container added to a shell... and they were room temp. C'mon Crows Nest if you're going to serve oysters make sure they are cold and fresh. read more

This is just a quick think and it may seem silly to most but it bothers me. Yesterday I was feeling very upset and depressed about something. I was in the area of the Crows Nest which I had been to many times so I thought I would run in for a quick glass of wine. Ordered a glass of chardonnay and have to say it was the smallest pour I ever had!! The glass was small and I swear no way was that even 6ozs. It was maybe 3 sips. Told the waitress she didn't seem to care. It just upset me such a small thing! Have to say the cup of chowder was delicious. read more

My 1st time back since the new owners took over but I would have to say it's been at least 13 years since my last visit. I always found the quality and the final product to be nothing worth coming back for so to be honest I may have dined here a half dozen times. There was just too many better restaurants around to choose from. So I was told by a friend he had a really good dinner here couple of weeks ago so I wanted to give it a shot. We got there just in time as the restaurant was filling up fast. The parking situation is going to be a problem come summer season. The restaurant has been total revamped and much more appealing and they also invested in a huge marine fish tank between the dining rooms. That was great touch! Started with the tuna tower very similar to the tuna tower from Fresco. (8) Clam cakes Nice color and moist inside with visible pieces of clam (8) Cream Clam Chowder thick with very small chopped potatoes and plenty of dill (7) Fried seafood platter (6) portion size may have been a bit on the smaller side for the cost. But it was cooked close to perfection. The waiter was very attentive and very quick to report d to what we needed and the place was full and busy. All in all this restaurant has improved all around. read more

Crow's Nest isn't your grandparents' restaurant anymore! Well, actually, it kinda is - but it certainly doesn't look like it. I hadn't been here in years - since before the fire & big remodel. The place is GORGEOUS! A huge aquarium provides a beautiful accent wall. It's surrounded by a moss wall - so perfect we assumed it was fake. Nope, real live moss! I'm in love!!! Seriously beautiful decor & the bar & marina view deck look super appealing too. Junior was our server & he was absolutely fabulous! Super attentive, friendly, happy, knowledgeable, professional - a truly perfect server! We were there a bit late in the evening & I watched the cleaning crew shining up the place. Amazing to see their attention to the smallest details, like cleaning & shining every millimeter of the bus tray stands. I've seen some really nasty stands, so this was this was impressive! The seafood-centric menu is right out of the days before the remodel. It's definitely a throwback to joining my father & his octogenetian posse for lunch here. Not much new and exciting - just standard, fresh, well prepared seafood. Even the smaller portions menu reflects their attention to the early bird crowd. When in Rome... so we stuck to the basics- Creamy Chowder, Fish & Chips, Baked Stuffed Shrimp. All were fresh & perfectly prepared. The chowder was tasty & loaded with clams & potatoes. The fried items - fish, fries, onion rings - were not at all greasy, fried in clean oil even at the end of a Friday - unremarkable but good. My only wish would be a good, homemade tartar sauce instead of pre-packaged. The Baked Shimp were equally well made & tasty. In retrospect, the smaller portion would have been plenty. The star of the night, though, was the Brocolli au Gratin. I don't even really like brocoll, but this sounded good. And, it was. I could eat this buttery, cheesy, crunchy goodness every day. Have kids who hate veggies? Give them this- it will change their world! All in all - a good dinner in a great spot with reasonable prices. We'll be back! read more

We had an excellent lunch, 1/2 lobster roll and cup of chowder combo and a Turkey club. Our waitress was lovely, the vibe was perfect, and we had a nice view of the harbor. read more

We were delightfully surprised when we visited the Crow's Nest - it's got quite a number of excellent points to recommend it that we were unaware of before our visit.  To begin with, the location is right on the water, and it's got some really nice views.  The service is also very friendly and completely on point.  That said, the high point of our visit was the food! Tip: Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good - Happy Hour pricing just happened to be in effect when we arrived, so we were treated to several delicious, half-price appetizers :-) The menu here has lots of nice-looking choices, and everything we tried was delicious.  We especially enjoyed the butternut squash side and the scallops.   Last, but not least, then portion sizes here are VERY generous! read more

My sister and our spouses visited The Crow's Nest on a Saturday night and were glad we had reservations--there was already a line forming by 6 PM. We were seated promptly, and our server arrived quickly to take our drink orders. Throughout the meal, the service was truly outstanding--friendly, attentive, and efficient. The prices are reasonable, but the food was just okay. I ordered the baked Bay scallops with mashed potatoes and garlic knots. The garlic knots were actually the highlight of the meal--warm, garlicky, and delicious. Everything else was fine but not particularly memorable. Overall, I'm not sure how often I'd return, but I'm giving 4 stars primarily because of the excellent service. Our server made the evening feel special, even if the food didn't quite match that level. read more

Came here today for lunch because I really wanted chowder and clam cakes. My friend, who is normally a seafood person ironically went with a chicken parm sandwich which would normally be what I would order if we were anywhere else in the area except Iggy's. It was a beautiful day out, and this is a nice place to be on a sunny summer day. It's a great atmosphere inside. It's one of those places where everybody knows your name. Lots of locals. Lots of repeat customers. If you get both of those, you're a pretty good spot. Inside is very modern and clean. Great natural light from the outside and a view of the bay, where you can see quahoggers and other shell fishermen right outside and bringing in their catches. That's about as fresh as it's going to get. That's about as fresh as it's going to get. Service is also good. Our waiter was super friendly,. professional and polite, he got the order in for drinks and for food quickly. Not as quick on refills, however. The food came out reasonably fast as well, even though it was very busy inside. Here's where things go from a four or five star to a three star review. I would have to guess that a place like this makes a ton of clam cakes. If this was what I was basing everything on it would have been a 1 or 2 star review. The clam cakes were dark and overcooked in the outside. Inside was mushy and flavorless. It was pretty clear to me that the oil needed to be changed in the fryer and it was too hot as well. Very disappointing. The Manhattan chowder was better than the almost inedible clam cakes. It was tasty. Plenty of clams. Small cut up potatoes and a tasty broth. The chicken parm sandwich got good reviews as far as sauce goes. That was the highlight of the sandwich from all reports. It looked a little too cheesy from where I was sitting. I heard the bread was soggy pretty quickly as well. They gave a very generous portion of pretty good fries along with the sandwich. I had a few of those and they were quite good. Overall, I think it's a good, not great spot. Lots of friendly, happy people inside. Well appointed and super clean. A good menu with lots of choices. The food, however was average for most things and terrible for the clam cakes. I'm guessing on another day I would not have the same issue, but I probably won't be back anytime soon to find out. I would recommend that you try it for yourself and you will probably have a better experience than I did. read more

First and last time visiting this restaurant. Tried their fried scallops with garlic knots, shrimp scampi, Downeast Pumpkin Cider & Vodka Tonic. Fried Scallops were so tiny you barely could taste any. Portion was more like a small appetizer than a meal. The garlic knots were only one knot, hopeless, way below expectations of garlic knots. Barely any garlic buttery taste, just a knot of bread, not what we expected at all. Barely a half a meal in portion size. See others photos, those small oval dishes are small. Don't be fooled. My husband was still starving so he ate half of my shrimp scampi. They had no bread. Wasn't delivered???? Go buy some for heaven's sake at the bakery or market!!! Who does this, operate with zero bread? Scampi was $37, only 5 medium shrimp, watery sauce, definitely not an Italian version. Not worth half that price. Very disappointing. Still starving. We were tired and hungry after 4 hour drive, it was late and we had few choices. There were barely any customers. Should have been a sign but desperate at the time. Definitely needs improvement in portion size, size of scallops, linguine instead of spaghetti pasta, make sure you have bread under all circumstances!! read more

Food was Ok. I came here for steamers and it somewhat satisfied my craving. They were quite small and the water to clean them off with was very DARK. I enjoyed their fried chicken wings...ordered it plain with sauce on the side. Got some stuffies too and they were a bit soggy which sucked bc they looked good coming out. My 12 year old son ordered lobster ($55) and he said the claw was off. I think he meant it was over cooked lol. But, the service was great. Our server was friendly and nice and I enjoyed the ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant. Loved their fish tank! read more

Consistently the best seafood in Rhode Island. Fresh, amazing service and just the best memories for me all around. I've problem been here a dozen or more times and every meal has been great. I've had the New England clam chowder, clam cakes, fish and chips, calamari, lobster roll (they'll do it hot for you too!), cocktails, the list goes on. Staff is great - my family has been going here for generations. Love the Crow's Nest. read more

Nice people serving, but the food and service need a lot of improvement. Waitress/Bar was way behind and messed up the initial drink order. Shrimp cocktail is an easy win, but it came out dry and dirty. Chowder was just ok. Scallop and clam plate was not good. Nice spot looks like they did some work to the inside and outside. It's an old school place, but they don't put out a good food product here. Wouldn't come back anytime soon unless something changes. read more

We ordered Clams Casino and they weren't the best as we've had there before. The clam chowder was not very tasty either and the potatoes were hard. Clam cakes overcooked. Service was slow and gave us water with no ice. Had to ask for ice. Food overpriced and seems maybe under new ownership. The raw bar left a weird smell where our table was. read more

Delicious delicious delicious. Our stuffed lobster was just what we wanted while in Rhode Island. Our crab dip appetizer was also delicious. This is a smallish restaurant near the harbor, so we were glad to have gone early and beaten the crowd. read more

I've been many times, and the food is usually consistent and lower priced compared to some of the seafood restaurants in Newport, for instance. The service is usually good and attentive. They renovated the dining room and added a deck in the last decade. There are two dining rooms, a bar area and an outdoor patio. Unfortunately the view isn't so great but they make up for it with quality seafood and more reasonable prices. They also have half orders available. The fried scallops are very good. I'm not a huge fan of the clam chowder or clam cakes because it seems like they don't put enough potatoes in the chowder, and the came cakes were dry and hard. They get very busy here, and there's usually a line forming out the door. read more

Great fresh seafood in an awesome warm atmosphere. Overlooking the boats in the water there is outdoor and indoor seating. Service is awesome, very friendly, on top of everything. Swordfish was delicious, the New England clam chowder was off the charts. Everyone's dishes were empty by the time the check came. Nice size menu with items for everyone not just seafood, they also have chicken and steak. read more

Food is great the place is beautiful since renovation were done Definitely worth a visit!

Landed in Providence and wanted good seafood, my local friend recommended we eat here. We came at an odd hour, so it wasn't too full. The place is very traditional seafood diner by the harbor. The staffs were very friendly, lots of locals eating here. We got cherry stones clams, clam chowder, lobster roll with clam cakes, and the baked seafood platter which has baked scrod, stuffed shrimp, stuffed quahog, and clam casino. Man, everything was really fresh. The clam chowder was great, save some for the clam cakes to dip in. The lobster roll was plentiful, needed a tad bit more salt but still good. Plentiful and delicious offerings in the baked seafood platter. It came with some sides, we got rice and squash. Don't forget some Prosecco! It goes well with seafood. Next time I want to try their lobster dinner! read more

I still come her at least every month or more for lunch - always on a weekday and only for lunch. I live about 45 minutes away so never make it here for dinner. It is still one of my favorite places for lunch. As I said in my last updated review, I only like a few dishes. When I am craving one of those, I meet friends for lunch. The food is just OK except for a few things that are really good!. 1) Peel and Eat shrimp - MKT Price (currently $10.50) - Awesome. Big, cold, flavorful,  and served in a clam shell with cocktail sauce and lemon. 2) Clams Casino - $ 9.95 - Six to seven little necks broiled and stuffed with homemade dressing and topped with bacon. Just basic but very flavorful. 3) Hot rolls served while you wait - the best! 4) Lobster salad is pretty good, just uses claws and knuckles so not great. But it has a good flavor and you can get it on a roll or on greens. They also do a 1/2 lobster roll and chowder (MKT Price) The Clam chowder is not very good. I only eat the white and it always varies with still partially raw potatoes, or too much flour/thickening and a burnt flavor. You can request the soup of the day which is better. 5) Steamers -  1 1/2 lbs  of fresh steamed clams - MKT Price ($19.99 or more. Right now steamers are scarce and are going for $15.00 lb. at fish markets!!! They are well  washed so not much sand. I refuse to order them, as I can make them at home and the cost is usually much cheaper. However, my friend often gets as she can't cook them. So that is what I still recommend here! read more

The best fried clams I have had in the last few years! Great service! Nice looking bar! Could be my new go-to place!!!

Had lunch with friends. We had reservations, so seated right away. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and sweet. We had the baked scallops, the fried scallops and a trio appetizer of calamari, zucchini and shrimp. Very tasty. The restaurant is bright and the decor is definitely New England. Very charming. The highlight though was the key lime cheesecake. So good!! read more

Ate here three times over the past 2 months as we've been in the area for tournaments. Every time has been delicious. From the lobster roll, to the chowder, to the Chicken Marsala and Prime Rib, it was all amazing. Even the drinks were great! Spicy margarita was husband's favorite and mine was as well (add strawberry!). Will definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

The food and portions were spot on! The food had great flavor. They were busy and packed on a Friday night but managed to fit us in. Loved the ambiance. The servers were warm and inviting. Although it was late in the day and surely they must've been tired we were always greeted with a smile. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks. Drinks were excellent too! Would highly recommend. read more

Very nice atmosphere. We were seated in the back room that had a gas fireplace and a beautiful aquarium. We had the fish and chips with two sides. The butternut squash and broccoli au gratin were not hot enough but we didn't complain. The beer batter fish was good and not heavy with grease. I would recommend this restaurant but bring your checkbook. $$$ read more

I recently had lunch at Crow's Nest, I ordered a large house salad with Salmon. Salmon was so dry, it was tasteless....I wonder if it was salmon left over from the weekend as I went there on a Monday...very disappointing. Have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal read more

We went to this restaurant because it was rated #3 in the area. It was overpriced and mediocre at Best. We tried fried clams, fried scallops, Lobster Roll, and fish tacos. The fried clams were small and not great. For 31$ the lobster roll was small. I think the scallops were frozen also. The bill was $145 and i tipped 20%. No thanks from the waitress. It was disappointing. Try Tommy's Clam Shack in Warwick. Better overall. read more

Suzie one of the best bartenders ever. Super helpful and knowledgeable about all drinks and dinner options. 10 out of 10 would come back.

Excellent service and food. Great selection and preparation and presentation!!! A keeper!!!
