A good spot in Bristol for a well made cocktail and a solid menu. Variably busy depending on time of day. Worth checking out.

Food Is fantastic. Service was great. I have enjoyed dinner ever time I have gone. Perfect in the summer months. Bulging is beautiful

The atmosphere is excellent. The restaurant is built in an old warehouse, but they've done an excellent job of making it welcoming and warm, while keeping the historic character. I got oysters, which were fresh and shucked properly. It's summer, so they weren't the best oysters ever, but there's nothing the restaurant can do about summer oysters. The beer selection is good, and the waitstaff is top notch. No complaints! read more

Beautiful view and great food. I loved the sandwiches on Naan - I was a little hesitant but these were amazing!! Service was good and the interior is adorable. Great place to stop and admire the view - we were seated outside and really enjoyed it. Don't skip the appetizers- we got the chicken empanadas and they were soooo good!! read more

We stopped in on Monday 2/2 at 6:00 for 1$ oysters. We were greeted by the hostess and told her we were planning on sitting at the bar. She went to the bar to checkout the availability. She informed us the bartender told her a gentleman was finishing his drink and would be dining upstairs. We waited about 15 minutes and he paid his tab. The hostess told us we were all set and walked us to a high top table. We asked about the bar stools and she informed us another women is sitting there. What?? We were told they would be reserved for us. No oysters at 6 and inconsistent service. Very disappointing. read more

I just went here for the first time this past weekend for brunch and it was so yummy everyone kept talking about how they wanted to come back. The only downside was that they were short staffed so we had limited options as to what drinks we could order. We ordered a mix of omelets, benedict's, waffles, and classic 2 egg breakfast. The omelet and waffle were the stars of the show. My only complaint is that the home fries weren't that great but the egg benedict itself made up for it. read more

I'll begin by stating that this has always been one of our favorite restaurants. But this Valentine's Day was a huge disappointment. For some reason, the food coming out of the kitchen was ridiculously slow. The waitress kept saying that they were swamped because of Valentine's Day, but the dining room was less than half full. We began by ordering a split of champagne to toast the holiday. It still had not arrived by the time we finished our salads. How hard is it to grab a bottle and 2 glasses? I could almost understand if we had ordered some exotic drink for the bartender to create. So we told her to forget about the champagne. We didn't want it with our meal. As for the entrees, the waiting time was incredibly long. We asked the waitress about this, but again, she said the kitchen was swamped. And again, the dining room was only 1/3 full. We almost cancelled our dessert because of the long wait. We had been there for over 2 hours already. The food was very good though. So we are torn about going back. We like the food very much and never had a problem like this before. But I sure don't want another meal like this one. read more

We took the family to the tavern. Downstairs from the more formal dining. It's a great place to hang out have a great lunch . The staff are friendly and helpful. Really inviting bar area to grab a beverage and spend time with friends. Also the building has quite the history you can ask about. read more

First off, if exorbitant pricing is a concern, this place might not be your cup of tea. Pun intended. Prices are steep with a cup of tea running you $5, and no, there are no free refills offered. That's an insane markup! Secondly, the average to meager portion sizes don't align with the expensive cost either. I ordered an egg and cheese with crispy bacon on naan. It came with their homemade potato chips which I found kind of odd (who wants to eat potato chips with their breakfast?). The interior is dark and intriguing; it feels like you've stepped back in time quite honestly. Our nice server, Olivia, tended to our table, and kindly grabbed me more hot water (on the house) so I could extend the life of my green tea bag. It's nice that there is free transient docking offered literally in their backyard; that encouraged us to eat breakfast there in the first place. After our experience though, if the prices are not adjusted, I just don't see us going back. read more

Went for a birthday dinner for a friend and the bill was split 3 ways but even tho we all have a tip included on each bill (which was just over 15%) my tab got hit for an extra $10! I called the restaurant and they said they would look into it but never heard back! So clearly the waiter changed my tip to give himself a full 20% on just my part of the bill. The food is mediocre in my opinion, chapel grille in Cranston is way better and worth the money. The prices here were a bit over the top for what u get. The waiter would disappear and never even came to check on our table to see how we were liking the food which annoyed me because I wanted to ask for extra dressing on the side but never saw him again to ask. I personally wouldn't go back, nothing on the menu really stuck out and flavor wise (I tried a little of everyone dish) it was just all lack luster and boring. And $8 for a side salad that only had tomato's and some shredded carrot was insane! I think restaurant impossible needs to do recon on this place cuz it's lacking. Maybe Bristol folk think it's good for a local place but the service and prices r just not good. The ambience is kinda dimly lit, we for some reason were sat near the door and would get a gust of cold air followed by intense heat which was annoying. The place was quiet and barely anyone there and they sat us right up front which was odd. This is my part of the bill was more than the other twos bills. I paid for myself, my mom and part of the birthday girls meals. The other two girls paid for themselves and part of the birthday girls. Their bills came to $49 each and we all did a $10 tip. But somehow I got hit with an extra $10! My bill came to $108.28 but my bank account was hit for $118.28 Both the other girls with their tips came to $59 each and nothing extra was added to theirs. I called a few days later after the visit to tell them I was being charged more money, the girl took my name and card number down and said someone would call me back by the next day after they located my bill.... No one ever called me! I put a dispute in with my bank! read more

One of the best restaurants in RI. The food, atmosphere and location is the best. Always leave happy and content. read more

This place was ~fine~. To be honest, my biggest complaint is the pricing. The food tasted good but not great and the portions were not matching the price. My friend got the vegetable platter and said it was bland and underwhelming. I got the salmon which was fine, but the rice was plain and tastes like what I make back home. The service was good and the space is nice, but overall, probably would not come back because of the pricing and blandness. read more

So as a townie I tend not to visit this place that often as it's a tourist destination. Well, my hunch was right the food was just average, You're really just paying for the ambience. The pulled chicken sandwich is not really pulled chicken but chunks and some dried up scraps. Our waitress had a sour face the entire time and just could not wait for us to leave so she could go home I can assume. read more

One of our favorites. Classic American food with an Indian spin on much of it. And their mussel dishes could not be better. Great service, lovely cocktails everyone we've taken there has been very pleased. read more

Last weekend, I hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband at Dewolf Tavern. There are no words, how fabulous everything turned out. First of all working with Sherry Rego, Dewolf's event person, was a pleasure to work with. She listened to my vision and went above and beyond in helping me achieve it. Chef Sai's food was superb, everyone commented on how delicious everything was! Nuth the bartender was a mixologist with a fabulous personality. Thanks to the Dewolf staff for making a 70th birthday a night that we will always remember with a smile on our faces. Kudos and Bravo to Chef Sai, Sherry, Nuth and all others involved. I couldn't have been more pleased!!!! G. Sier read more

Went in on a Monday night and sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly ans very helpful. He suggested the mulled wine, which my friend loved. I had a glassmif prosecco. It was $1 oyster night, so we each had 2 local oysters, then we split an order of the olive naan, which was soft, fresh and delicious, and came with a sauce with yogurt to drizzle on the naan. We also split the fried chicken sandwich, with mango sour cream on fresh naan. So delicios and a huge sandwich! The food was all so good and different. Perfect night out. read more

I was in town for business and DeWolfs was right next door so I decided to try it out. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was awesome. The bar tender were friendly It is a very old building and you can feel the history on the inside. Definitely recommend. read more

DeWolf Tavern - Walking up to the DeWolfs - New American Near Me - Bristol, Rhode Island

Amazing food for a foodie family. Took my very well traveled, foodie brother's out for lunch. They loved the menu and ordered lamb hash, naan sandwiches with mint chutney. The naan is freshly made to order.The food and service was wonderful. Our server Lindsey was cheery and very helpful. Made their visit to Bristol so enjoyable. We will be back with dinner reservations for sure! read more

Do not go for a nice or formal event. More of a pub than a stake house and service did not match the price tag. The atmosphere is not as advertised and we're shoved into a small corner (party 11) despite having a reservation (made 2 months prior) where they said we could all be at one table. They did not we ended up moving squeezing into one table and trying to pull adjust chairs well the staff watched and did nothing. Kept forgetting drinks/food with meals arriving 15+ after. Honestly, very disappointing especially for a graduation (which they were aware of). They had a party going on upstairs but would have been better had they just cancelled our reservation or let us know. Service was horribly clear they only cared about the party. read more

Had superb Easter dinner here with family and friends. As always, the food was inventive and delicious, the service was attentive and masterful, and a very good time was had by all. We go here regularly and have only had good food and excellent service. A family favorite. read more

My friend are in town for a few days. We ate a late lunch here. We both had the garlic naan which was amazing. We then had the pasta primavera and that was also amazing! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was giving us places to go for breakfast and she was a lot of fun to talk to. The ambiance is very rustic but they do have an upstairs that is fancier. Good vibes! read more

During the pandemic, we had a nice dinner meal outside in the covered patio area. You can still see the water and the nice view. The blackened salmon was good. The shaved steak sandwich was a winner. The Manchurian cauliflower app was also nicely done. The restaurant has an Indian influence on many of its dishes, as you can see by many of their plates. They use Naan bread. The setting and the food make this place a solid choice in Bristol. read more

Stopped in for brunch. Great old building with outdoor seating. Our server Olivia was great and answered our many questions in regard to food allergies without any hesitation. (Two of the four of us have gluten issues). Food was served quickly, hot and with ample portions. Very impressive as they seemed short staffed and servers were definitely hustling to keep the customers happy. We arrived around 11:00am on a Sunday and were pleasantly impressed the level of service and the quality of food. Plus, the coffee was delicious and they offer French pressed coffee too! Great for coffee officinados! Check out this brunch if you're in the Bristol, RI area. read more

I had the pleasure of experiencing the wedding of my dreams at DeWolf Tavern, and I cannot sing its praises enough! From the moment we met Rachelle Appleton of the Bristol Harbor Hotel and Marina, we were thoroughly impressed. Rachelle was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. I knew we would be in good hands! When we first stepped foot into the DeWolf Tavern, we fell in love with its elegant decor and its charming blend of historic charm and contemporary sophistication; we knew it would provide the ideal backdrop for our special day. One of the standout aspects of our experience at the DeWolf Tavern was the exceptional service provided by Sherri Rego, the consummate professional who guided us through every step of the planning process. Sherri's attention to detail was truly remarkable, and her genuine interest in ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was flawless was evident from our very first meeting. She listened attentively to our vision, offering invaluable insights and suggestions along the way, and went above and beyond to bring our dreams to life. From coordinating with vendors to ensuring seamless execution on the day of the event, Sherri's expertise was instrumental in making our wedding day a resounding success. Her calm demeanor and unwavering dedication put us at ease throughout the planning process, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without a worry in the world. And when we first got to see the room decorated, it was immediately evident that every detail had been meticulously planned and executed to perfection. It was truly beautiful. The culinary experience at the DeWolf Tavern was also nothing short of extraordinary. From the unique hors d'oeuvres to the delicious entrees, each dish we chose was phenomenal and the portions were extremely generous! This is not your typical "wedding food!" We received compliments all night long from our guests- especially on the stuffed chicken dish! Divine! I also cannot say enough about the service. A third of our guests were under the age of 14, and the staff went out of their way to make sure the kids were happy and comfortable throughout the night. The staff had the brilliant idea of serving all the kids first so that the kids were able to get right on out to the dance floor without becoming impatient. The bartenders even made special peach-colored virgin drinks for the kids that matched our decor; those drinks became all the rage amongst the kids that night! It was awesome and such a thoughtful touch that I hadn't even thought of. In addition to the impeccable service and fantastic cuisine, the DeWolf Tavern's location was super convenient for our guests. I loved that our guests could pop right over to their hotel rooms at the Bristol Harbor Hotel and Marina. Having the Empire Tea and Coffee shop right on location was great for our guests to grab a coffee and a bite to eat before hitting the road in the morning. In short, I cannot recommend the DeWolf Tavern highly enough for anyone seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine and beautiful and convenient setting, every aspect of our special day exceeded our expectations. And for that, we are eternally grateful to Sherri Rego and the entire team at the DeWolf Tavern for making our wedding so special. read more

Cute and cozy. I was recommended this restaurant by a good friend who visits Dewolf Tavern often but was slightly disappointed. Started off with the fall Sangria but not worth the money. The lamb chops were good but arugula and carrots underdressed. My boyfriend ordered Al carte salmon with fries I make better at home and presentation was blah. I had the naan bread shredded steak and cheese with house chips bland as well. I asked for extra sauce just to give it flavor. Will I go back not really sure. Also no specials for a Sunday when there was so much going on in the area outside. I opted out for dessert because nothing was calling my name to try it. read more

We made reservations a week ahead of time for two for dinner New Year's Eve. We were a couple minutes early, and the hostess said she was going upstairs to check on our table. When she returned, another woman at the stand was quietly talking to her. Suddenly the first woman started acting confused about the reservation, and then led us to a table downstairs in the bar. Loud live music made it difficult to hear, and when we told her we expected to sit in the dining room upstairs, she said "it wasn't on your reservation. " We tried to make the best of it, but watched as couple after couple were led upstairs. Checking their reservation site, there wasn't a place to choose seating areas. To make matters worse, the steak had no flavor, nor did the pasta. We had been going to this restaurant since it's opening, and missed the past couple of years the due to hectic schedules. We dine frequently in Bristol, but this visit made us feel very unwelcome, and we won't be back. Obviously something about us is now not in the Dewolf seating policy. read more

We went to Dewolf Tavern for dinner with our two fussy teenagers and will definitely return without them! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience from appetizers, entrees, dessert and wine list. Unfortunately, our fussy teens were not as satisfied, perhaps their palates aren't sophisticated enough. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. The space itself is simply lovely. read more

I'm unsure if we'll return. Saturday morning at 10:00, not a very busy time. Only one other table was taken The food is good not great The hostess was young and inexperienced wanting to seat us near the kitchen we asked for another table which was an issue for her she was very perplexed by our request even though only ONE other table was taken. We asked for a booth she said they were reserved. (2 were empty) Another couple came in she took them to the same spot near the kitchen they too asked about the booth again she repeated it was reserved. Another couple came in and when seated in an awkward area between two poles got up and left. Did the reserved booths get taken? One by a couple who came in later but the other DID NOT fill. So who do they cater too? Clients or Ghosts? I had the salmon Benedict the eggs were hardly cooked and the muffin was soggy and unappealing. The salmon was not very good either. My husband had some rice/veg dish that was served in a cast iron pan and so hot he couldn't even enjoy it. We used the bread dish to take some out to cool. Let's be realistic you want your clientele to get burned while attempting to eat. Serve a side dish for a HOT pan! The waiter was OUTSTANDING the only good part of the visit. He was on point at all times,did a second check on our meal,brought coffee often and was polite and quiet. Very professional. You may want to try somewhere else for breakfast. read more

We were the only table dining for a Sunday night and the service was poor. Waiter was hanging out with the other staff half the time. Some dude in dirty clothes walked out from the back, scarfing down food from a takeout box while he stood and stared at the manager and some other staff work on some light fixture attached to a cutting board. If you want to charge those prices, then keep the back of house in the back of house. read more

We were able to return to the DeWolf Tavern for drinks and apps. It was on St. Patrick's Day, an overcast drizzly day. The tavern was busy but not crowded and we were able to sit at the bar. Colby, our server, greeted us at the door and took care of us during our stay. The Tavern's atmosphere is very conducive for conversation and enjoying cocktails. I had the Birch Old Fashioned (great!) and my husband enjoyed a Tullamore Dew. We shared apps of Chicken Empanadas and Shrimp Pakora (both very tasty and good accompaniment with the drinks). We saw the chef come out a couple of times to say hello to patrons, which was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and Colby was very attentive. We will definitely make the DeWolf Tavern part of our Bristol routine! read more

My husband and I celebrated our wedding at Bristol Harbor Inn on 8/10/2024 and working with DeWolf was a wonderful experience. Sherri made the planning process so easy and stress free - She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Guests loved the appetizers and plated meals, the food was delicious, and DeWolf provided excellent staff on hand for the entirety of the night. The location is perfect as well, with stunning views over the harbor. I highly recommend choosing DeWolf Tavern as your wedding day caterer! read more

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Bristol Harbor Inn with catering by DeWolf Tavern, and we are so happy with our experience! Sherri was very communicative and worked with us to add all of the special details we wanted to make the day ours. DeWolf accommodated our guests' allergies and helped us set up a fun ice cream sundae bar for dessert! Multiple guests complimented the food, and the majority of people cleaned their plates! The chef even came out during the wedding to thank my husband and I, which was extremely thoughtful. We will definitely return to DeWolf to remember how wonderful they helped to make our special day! read more

Ok, where do I start? We walk in to find, the table we requested had been given to someone else. We get it, those types of things can happen. They made a good effort to make sure we were happy with our seating. Our server Colby came by promptly and we ordered drinks. We ordered the barley soup. One had barley the other was mostly broth. Otherwise, it tasted fine. Immediately we realized no bread was offered to us, so we ordered some to have with our soup (bread is not offered, you have to pay for it). In the meantime, because of the table mixup, we were told, the chef was making us a special appetizer. It was very thoughtful, however, he did not consider, we may not like raw fish, which we do not. We made every effort to try it, but it just wasn't for us. After finishing our soups, we received our bread along with our meals. To my surprise, my meal came with the exact same bread we ordered for the soup. My blackened salmon was blackened but cool. The house made chips had no flavor at all. When finished with dinner, our waitress Colby was very thoughtful to offer us a complimentary dessert. We ordered the apple tart. When we received the tart, it was actually a very soggy, puffed pastry. We ordered the pressed coffee with out desert. The coffee was exceptional! This was a birthday dinner and it was just a horrible experience, except for our server Colby, she was very nice and our coffee was enjoyable! We won't be back for a while if at all! read more
