    Chicken empanadas
    Christina A.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    My part of the bill
    Brittany S.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Shaved steak sandwich
    Robert S.

    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.

The drink menu was not very extensive. Our Asian salad cups appetizer tasted exactly like an Asian salad mix I've bought at the grocery store and looked like it too - I'm convinced that's exactly how they prepared this. My veggie burger had burnt edges and wasn't too enjoyable flavor-wise. It didn't help my overall impression that when I got takeout here another time, they totally butchered my boyfriend's name when we ordered over the phone, and we had a hard time picking up our order because of this (how you get "Stephanie" from "Anthony," I just really don't know). I think this place just gets lucky having a good location across from Independence Park and being close to but just out of the way from downtown. Can't say I was impressed by the food - there are too many other good options in Bristol, I just can't say I'd recommend this to others. Perhaps it's improved since I visited, but it's a pass for me based on experiences I've had.

    At first I really liked this place and probably would've left a five stars-- before I explain more,…read moreI do still think it's worth popping by for a casual bite. The burger I ordered (bacon cheeseburger with no bacon) was delicious. No complaints there and I will probably reorder. The only problem here was that I asked for sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, to which the waiter simply said okay. Turns out it was an undisclosed upcharge. Not only did he not tell me it would be $2.75 (or something like that) more, but the fries are listed as the same price online. When I told him that, he said that their online menu is really old (this is to say, don't look at it! and also, not sure why they wouldn't update it if they know it's incorrect). Sure enough, the printed menu also said nothing about an upcharge for a different fry, so ultimately I was able to remove the charge, but it was a little awkward and frustrating. My only other complaint is not particularly the fault of the restaurant, but I suppose just a side effect of the laidback vibes. A group of 7 or 8 people came in like 20 minutes after us and was so loud that I almost suggested we leave. My guess is they were drunk, but it was a Wednesday night around 6:00, so I wouldn't have expected that. They were so loud that I was yelling to my friend who was within arm's length. Totally changed the vibe and enjoyment for me.

After speaking to several restaurant owners (not associated with this establishment) I decided to provide my feedback. On Tuesday, 11/11/25, I ate at this establishment with two friends. The first thing I noted was the high prices for mixed drinks, in particular the apple fall spritz for $17, which I found outrageous. We ordered apps- hall of fame chowder, clam chowder and a cucumber app and several martinis. Let me start by saying that the service from our waitress was phenomenal, which is not always the case. I believe her name was Nancy and she was extremely attentive. I had gotten about half way through my Hall of fame chowder when I pulled a shard of glass from my mouth, after taking a bite. I checked my martini glass and there were no chips or missing glass so I knew that it came from the bite of chowder I had just taken. I politely informed my waitress who was overly apologetic and she notified the manager who approached the table a couple minutes later. He did apologize but managed to downplay the situation, almost acting as though it was not the restaurants fault. He informed me that they removed the soup and 1 martini from my bill, which I thanked him for. As we were leaving, I tried to say goodbye to the manger but he WOULD NOT make eye contact with me. I cannot recall if he did actually say goodbye but I had made eye contact with him as we were walking toward the front so he was aware that we were leaving. For me, it wasn't about what they could do for me- removing items from the bill or providing a gift card etc., it was the managers response to the entire situation that truly disappointed me. Overall, I find most of the menu and drinks to be overpriced. The location and restaurant itself is beautiful but the service in general is inconsistent (though my waitress on this day was by far the best I have had in the 15-20 times I have been). I can only hope that they did not continue to serve that batch of their hall of fame chowder to other patrons. Due to the managers lack of concern and overall disposition I would not return to this restaurant. The sign of a great restaurant, is having staff that are not only concerned with their customers satisfaction but most importantly, taking pride in the quality of the products they are serving. This particular incident could have ended tragically and the lack of concern was deeply troubling.

They have a daily menu, and I've had some friends suggest this place as their favorite restaurant. We parked blocks away due to the lack of adequate parking. Once we walked in, we were greeted with pleasant smiles from the staff. The menu was short, which we attributed to a focus on quality. We ordered a French onion dip and a littleneck entree as an app for the table. We were served with lukewarm water, neither cold nor hot. The apostle John might have been somewhat disappointed (Rev 3:16). The dip was decent but was somewhat lacking in great onion flavor. But nothing to complain about. The little necks were served in a small bowl and lacked a bit of salt. Rather pricey for $26, but this place charges $6 just for bread and butter, so maybe it's just inflation? Enter the entrees. They apparently were short on chicken legs so they asked to substitute chicken breast. Two of us got burgers. First the $20 burgers, which were served with an aioli with no offer of ketchup or other condiments. In short, both burgers were terrible. Far worse than we make at home. It's always a disappointment when you realize you're paying all this extra for food you can make better at home. The buns were shockingly flat, like someone smashed them by hand. Or in a McDonald's box. Come to think of it, the flavor was similar, though overall the hamburger was somewhat bitter, salty and lacked an appetizing flavor. Wow. We all agreed they were terrible. The fries were also burnt and over salted. My daughter quit on her $30 chicken, so I tried it. The sauce wasn't bad, and it was served with a decent brocollini. But the chicken was some of the driest I've had in a restaurant, with no crisp skin and a uniformly poor texture. No wonder no one finished their entrees. And I hate wasting food. So, as much as we would have wanted to give this place a great rating, we just won't be back. The service, although with a smile, was slow and terrible. Our candle burnt out in the middle of dinner. It was never relit. Our glasses were empty halfway through dinner. No refills on the tepid water. The entrees took an hour and a half before they came out (we were warned the chicken could take 30 min). Generally a very disappointing experience. Hard to explain the rave reviews but our Saturday dinner was a sad bust. The cold wet madeleines they provided in a doggie bag didn't do anything to help. Oh well. Hope y'all have a better experience if you go here.

We were having a lovely dinner in Warren and stopped into Bywater for a quick after-dinner drink. It was a bit cooler out but since they had no seats in the extremely limited bar area, we took the plunge and sat outside near their fire pits. They did not have many wines to choose from BTG which was disappointing. The one I had which was Cinsault was just ok. I had to dump out most of it since I did not enjoy it but that was my fault since sampling it I thought I liked it. My friend had the bartender make her a cocktail with grapefruit since they did not have pineapple. She was looking for a French martini but seemed to enjoy what they made her. My husband's espresso martini was very good I thought and light but could've used some bailey's. We already had dessert so we did not plan on anything else but I know I am interested in returning for dinner. The restaurant is very small inside but I loved the warm lights and decor. It was a very sexy and attractive vibe! If you are ever in Warren I highly recommend coming here for either drinks, dinner, or both. Dress warm if you plan on heading outside to sit near the fire...it does not give off that much heat! Cheers!

When the sea was America's highway, the DeWolf family ruled along with the Browns of Providence, and as with the Brown family, the DeWolfs made their money in trading slaves. George's family and descendants occupied the house for 177 years until the Friends of Linden Place, a non-profit group, assumed ownership in 1988. Perhaps the most famous occupant was Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt, George's grandson. He started Industrial Trust Bank which later became Fleet and he formed U.S. Rubber which became today's Uniroyal Tires. This house is considered the "architectural crown jewel" of Bristol and it is important to the social history of the town as well. Walking around the house with a guided tour, you can hear and learn about the history of the house and the town, bright time and dark times. Learning about the slave trade is important because it was a part of our history, even though it was a sad one. The decor is exquisite, with the furniture, chandeliers, artwork and interior design set the same way it was in the 19th century. We have also enjoyed the outside grounds during wedding receptions, concerts, special events. The grounds are always immaculate so the events outdoors always shine. A beauty of Colonial architecture in Bristol.
