    Beautiful scenic dining, you have to try! Sangria and lobster nachos were delicious and our server Adam was great !

    Beautiful hotel with a restaurant on ground level. Views of the ocean and open air. Great bar if you can get a seat. Went to have the lobster pizza, had it in the past and loved it. Today not so much. The lobster was added to the pizza like it was an after thought. They baked the pizza and then broke apart the lobster meat and placed it on top. I was very glad we sat at a table and not the bar. The table caught the lobster that fell off of the pizza. The pizza it's self needed more sauce and was a bit too thick. Honestly I think if it was a white pie with a bit of garlic it would be amazing. We will definitely be back. Have always enjoyed the food we have gotten but just think I will stay away from ordering the pizza again. Love all of their fish dishes and the burratta app is amazing.

    Book your reservation now! Wonderful experience all around. They accommodated a party of 9 at 8 pm. Service (Dominique) was attentive and professional. Food was 5 star... delicious, fresh ... felt like we were dining in Italy. Drinks and desserts were the icing on the cake. If you are in the area.. don't miss out!

    The food at Maria's is excellent. Perfectly prepared and abundant. We ordered salmon with risotto, 2 orders of ravioli, and pasta bolognese. The risotto was the best I've ever had. The quality of the ingredients shown through. There were five of us (one of us had two appetizers for his diner) and there were zero complaints, everything was delicious. Our server was spot on, friendly, fast, and professional. I sincerely hope I remembered his name, Antonio. The owner, John stopped by to make sure all was well. I don't know how the experience could have been improved upon. Dessert was crème brûlée, a gorgeous banana confection, and pistachio gelato. We shared and each was better than the last. An outstanding evening at a first class restaurant in a fantastic location. Side note: if you're a fan of white sangria, they do it exactly right!

    Love Maria's! Fresh Italian food, homemade pasta and great service, and the portions are huge, fine dining at the beach!

    My Gorgonzola encrusted filet- Mother's Day special
    Ashlee M.

    Initially had plans to go to The Andrea but they had lost our reservation so we were scrambling to find a "nicer" restaurant to have a good meal at on Mother's Day! We also had already taken the nearly hour drive from Glocester to Westerly to go to the Spring Fest Carnival at the beach! So we were really happy when Maria's agreed to squeeze us in on Mother's Day for a last minute party of 3! Thanks again for being so understanding & accommodating! When we arrived the valet came up to our car & parked it for us, I want to say it was complimentary for restaurant guests but not 100% sure on that, the host immediately sat us & we sat in a nice area of what appeared to be outdoor seating that was enclosed due to the time of the year. The restaurant was pretty crowded and they definitely could've used more servers as every time we tried to get the attention of our waitress she was nowhere to be found. So we weren't sure if it was because of the holiday or because they were understaffed (the season did not officially start yet- I believe it starts after Memorial Day) or whatever the case was, but they definitely need to hire more staff or more attentive staff. We literally could not find our waitress at several points throughout our meal & we needed her. So I would have taken off half a star for this reason- but Yelp will not let you do half stars so a full star it is..... The food I ordered was a Gorgonzola encrusted filet which was a Mother's Day special- and All I Can say is WOW- the flavors were amazing! The meat was very flavorful! The cut of meat was nice but not "melt in your mouth" type of filet, that I typically prefer & am accustomed to- but those are typically $65-$100 for a small 6/8 oz filet so for $45 this filet was WELL WORTH the price. THE PORTION SIZE WAS HUGE! The risotto that came with the filet was sooo good- albeit it was unlike any Risotto I have ever had - the rice was thick long and fat grains- which was just overall surprisingly delicious! My son got the pasta with butter from the kids meal and surprisingly ate a lot more than I anticipated. Extra points for having an affordable kid menu! My husband to be got the margarita pizza which was also delicious. We got baked stuffed clams as an appetizer which my 7 year old son and husband devoured - but I can't comment on because I don't like clams. The drinks were a bit ''steep' at $15 per beverage- I got the Mojito which was really good but could've used a lot MORE mint. They literally gave me a half a leaf of mint so that was a bit disappointing but nonetheless it was good! My husband got the sangria which he stated was good and my son got a cranberry juice- which she forgot to bring to our table about 3 x! Overall this restaurant has a ton of potential, especially given the location and the new boutique style hotel they just opened. We do a lot of summer beach trips and typically it's cheaper for us to stay at hotels then it would be to rent a beach house for the weekend, so we are definitely looking forward to staying here at least once over the summer- as long as they keep their pricing affordable. We noticed a huge price increase from when they first opened the boutique hotel to when we checked last on Mother's Day. I'm taking several hundred dollars difference but I don't know- maybe they will have RI RESIDENT specials or other specials! I'm hoping they have something! I would definitely return to this restaurant and I wish them the best of luck and success in the future!

    Went for a sit down meal and was not disappointed food was great ! Sitting outside they closed the doors due to the cold wind which was great

    Fried Artichoke

    Very pleasant ambiance with service. Food was good but red sauce under par. Food temperature also was barely warm. Appetizer special Fried Artichokes was good. Entrees: Uncle Vinny Veal Parm, generous sized tender tasty veal chop but barely warm & sauce was unimpressive. Pasta was Al Dente which was fine but not my preference, no biggy since I didn't have special request, just saying. Chicken Parm same as veal parm, chicken was juicy & tasty but again, sauce was lacking & barely warm. Penne Alla Vodka missed the mark as well. Tiramisu was delicious. All in all we did leave somewhat satisfied but a little bit disappointed expecting more from marinara sauce considering the Italian background.

    Alyssa was an excellent server. The food wasn't anything special. The noise level made it hard to hear or hold a conversation.

    Love the atmosphere but the dinner was way overpriced for the quality. $44. Dry Halibut on white rice which was like warm. Very bland!

    I'm a frequent diner at dog watch. The food is always good, fresh and quick. Today I had the tuna…read moreBomb. It was delicious and a fun new dish to add to the menu.

    December 2025 A…read morelocal recommended this for a good afternoon lunch. The place is small but is right on the pier and you have fun views of the boat yard and water. The menu offers everything from soups and salads to scallop meals and sandwiches. Extremely well priced. There are about a dozen tables and a few high tops as well as a bar for seating. Parking is across the street. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. I wish they had brewed iced tea, but they said it only comes from the fountain. Ick! Ordered a bowl of clam chowder soup. Very creamy and good flavor. The clams seem to be gritty. Probably could use a good rinse before they are cooked. But overall, the flavor and consistency our clams and potatoes with each bite was nice. Ordered the cod sandwich with onion rings. The cod sandwich is quite large. Served on a brioche bun with tomatoes and lettuce and a lemon wedge It was served piping hot. The fish, although large and presentation was nice, it lacked flavor. The batter was not completely cooked toward the meat of the fish. You get your choice of side and we had onion rings. They were standard side, but cooked to perfection. Overall, I was pleased with this restaurant. I would give the ambience a five out of five, the weight staff service was five out of five and the food would be a solid four. I would definitely come back to this restaurant.
