Today was my first visit to the Liberal Club under Victor and Judy Gomes, and I decided to honor my…read moreparents by ordering exactly what they would have chosen: the clam zuppa followed by pasta with red clam sauce. The first bite of the zuppa gave me that unforgettable food-critic moment from Ratatouille--one taste instantly transported me back to my childhood and all the wonderful memories of enjoying Victor's cooking with my family. The clams were incredibly fresh, and the rich, flavorful sauce was perfect for soaking up with the garlic bread. Just as my mother always did, I saved some of the zuppa sauce and spooned it over my pasta. The red clam sauce was outstanding--deeply flavorful, perfectly seasoned and filled with fresh seafood. Everything tasted as though it had been prepared with genuine care and decades of experience. Having spent my own career as a Certified Executive Chef and restaurateur, I understand the work behind food of this quality. Victor and Judy delivered an exceptional meal, especially considering they had only celebrated their grand opening the day before. If this first experience is any indication of what is ahead, the new Liberal Club is going to become one of Fall River's most talked-about dining destinations. I'm already looking forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

They're a chain all over MA and RI with some NY locations upstate. We opted to dine indoors. Huge location with an open kitchen. Staff very friendly, attentive and keen to please especially with dietary restrictions. Ordered burgers, firecracker shrimp, calamari, sweet potato fries, Brussels sprouts and some Oreo ice cream dessert. Private free parking lot at the mall. Like nearly every restaurant in RI and MA, they've got a loyalty program. Scored a free huge dessert plus $10 off reward. Loved the burger and fries. Sprouts were too salty. Everyone enjoyed their time here. No one rushed us out on a Saturday evening.

The food tasted uninspired, the cauliflower was borderline raw huge chunks, the chicken piccata was watery, the swordfish was half dry half moist?, the fries sat in oil for too long and had no crisp, the steak tips and mashed potato just lack of flavor. The service was super slow ( there was maybe 3 tables and 2 people at the bar), we were there for over 2 hours. I couldn't see myself come back, I'd rather support a local establishment

When you walk in, the hostess greets you and brings you to either side of the restaurant. It is almost two separate areas, each with its own bar and seating. It is a nice layout. They have very comfortable booths with large tables. Our server came over, introduced herself, and took our drink orders. The drinks were generously sized and well made. They have a wide variety of cocktails, beers, and wine. They have an enormous menu with a variety of appetizers, burgers, salads, and entrees. They also have a "specials" sheet featuring rotating specials. We ordered their fried string beans and some Caesar salads to start. Both were very good. My wife had chicken parmigiana for her entree, our friends had salmon and cod, and I had the whole belly fried clam plate (YAY!). The portions were GENEROUS. My wife's chicken parmigiana was enough for three people. Best of all, my order of clams was enormous and perfectly made. I am a complete snob when it comes to fried clams. I rarely get them, and I can say that these were among the best I have had anywhere. Price and value were excellent. We said we would be back, and we made that official. Our second visit was just as good as the first. I had a beautifully prepared Prime Rib and my wife had salmon. Don't be like us and wait 15 years. Give this place a try ASAP.

Absolutely beautiful dining atmosphere…read more We called last minute for reservations and they were fully booked but managed to get our party of 4 on the south patio which is covered. The views were beautiful. We started with cocktails at one of the high top tables- to note there isn't service to these tables we had to bring the drinks from the bar. The parking lot was packed.

Our server was maybe overloaded as it was pretty packed. The drinks were ok. I feel like they are more of an overpriced novelty. I recommend wine instead. The food was also overpriced as well. I wish I took a picture of my salad. I got the wedge salad which was just two small pieces of lettuce which was also a quarter inedible. They charged me 30 dollars for a tiny "salad" that didn't even have all the ingredients/garnishes it was said to come with and the smallest slice of salmon I've ever seen. I was actually laughing at this. It took me all of 5 min to eat my "meal". The calamari was also soggy and imo not cooked well. The shrimp and corn fritters were sooooo good! I recommend them!

Sail Loft in Padanaram is one of those places that just understands the assignment: good seafood,…read moregreat cocktails, a lively atmosphere, and enough New England charm to remind you exactly where you are. We rolled in around 5:30 on a Monday and apparently beat the dinner rush because there were still plenty of empty tables. Timing: impeccable. We were seated immediately at a high-top by the front window, and our waitress was right there with water, drink orders, and appetizer suggestions. No wandering around desperately trying to make eye contact with someone holding an iPad. We were off to a good start. The atmosphere here is always casual, lively, and cool. The bar? Always packed. Apparently everyone in Padanaram got the same memo. Now, the food. We started with the lobster rangoons -- crispy outside, creamy and gooey inside. Basically little fried envelopes of happiness. The Thai shrimp were tender and covered in a sweet coconut curry sauce. Delish. I could have happily kept dipping things into that sauce until someone asked me to leave. The New England clam chowder was exactly what chowder should be: creamy, savory, hearty, and satisfying. No unnecessary reinvention. New England knows what it's doing here. And then came the steamers, because when you're in New England, you get the steamers. It's practically a residency requirement. These were cooked perfectly -- tender without turning into seafood-flavored chewing gum -- and came with the traditional broth for rinsing away the sand and melted butter for adding back all the calories you just washed off. It's a beautiful system. The cocktails were fantastic, service was great, and the whole meal hit the spot. Sail Loft continues to be a solid Padanaram favorite. Come for the waterfront-town vibes, stay for the seafood, and definitely don't skip the lobster rangoons.

I was a little hesitant to have the peanut butter thing cheesecake as I don't know why you'd stray from the peanut butter thing. That being said, it was delicious and I would definitely get it again.
