The food left a lot to be desired. The lobster roll was sizable, but was mixed with onions, the fries were soggy, and the clam chowder was bland. Nice ambiance but maybe only return for drinks at a nice outdoor bar. Our server Kylie was terrific. read more

As a Bristol visitor, a few friends and I were hoping to get a nice dinner in before heading over to Borealis for a fun jazz music-filled evening and Beach House was the perfect spot! When we first showed up, it wasn't super busy, but the place was starting to get full, and we DID have to get a reservation to ensure that we weren't waiting/to make sure we were at our next spot on time. A fun little addition to this restaurant is that they also double as an ice cream shop which would have been the PERFECT dessert for me if I wasn't so full after my dinner. The indoor seating we were put in was a high top, but it was just enough room to seat 5 people comortably. I ordered the Bayview Burger paired truffle fries (chose to upgrade from normal fries), and it was the absolute most perfect choice! I also tried the Brussel Sprouts, but I would say if you like them crispy all the way through, these were not. I also had a fun mocktail with a dragonfruit (unfortunately can't find the name of the drink, but the picture is below) to pair with my food--I will say that while it was tasty, it was pretty sweet but was the perfect pair with my Bayview Burger, which was a bit on the saltier side. The only downside to our experience is that once it did start getting pretty busy in the restaurant, the service was much much slower (which is a given with how busy it was) and we had to ask a different waiter to help us get our check and head out. Other than that, it was a wonderful choice for dinner and I would recommend this restaurant anytime! read more

Their menu is a little weird and really expensive for what it is in my opinion. I was planning to order the pork dumplings because I thought some dumplings in the appetizer were shrimp and some were pork, but they were blended together so we got the Hawaiian teriyaki chicken tenders instead. They're $19 for 5-6 and were dry but the flavor was good. Usually this kind of place gets me to order a burger but it was $26 and an extra $3 for sweet potato fries, so I just couldn't justify it. A side of sweet potato fries is $7 but I couldn't justify that either without knowing the size. I ended up just getting s'mores ice cream (which you can get at the ice cream shop down the steps or order from the table) and it was maybe the most expensive ice cream I've bought! It also took forever to the ice cream we ordered table side to come-- I think it would've been faster to just order it myself. The s'mores ice cream was SO GOOD THOUGH. Best s'mores ice cream i've had, albeit quite melted by the time it got to us. Our waitress was nice and I'm sure it was an overwhelming day to be working. There's not AC inside but I think people come to sit outside and by the water so maybe that's fine. Personally I love AC so I was a little disappointed by how hot it was inside. They played religious music inside which also irked me a little but it might've just been for the 4th? Probably wouldn't come back to Beach House but glad we got to try it. Might come back to the sugar shack for their sundaes, which are $3 more for 3 scoops. read more

Awesome view with parking. The chowder was amazing. The drinks were OK. I ordered the sushi special- I recommend you pass.

I live in Warren and am in Bristol multiple times a week and have always been intrigued by the vibes and view here. I was skeptical of the food because of the reviews but finally made it here Friday night and was pleasantly surprised! Everything was excellent. The burrata salad and calamari were standouts. Our sever was also a gem and always a step ahead of us. And you can't beat the view. Can't wait to be back!! read more

Very disappointing this time around. Ordered the nachos with nothing but crumbs to scoop out the toppings with. It was also over cooked. The flatbread was over loaded with cheese and under done. Normally not like this. Told our server but nothing was done. She did apologize but, won't be back anytime soon. read more

Well, it depends on the time of day you arrive for your sit down meal to be seated for the Beautiful view of the water and boats, I say this due to the sun will be shining in your face and you will not have an enjoyable meal, unless you decide to be sat at the bar, it may be different? The inside of the restaurant has no air conditioning ..the food was okay, the drinks were delicious, however my party of 4 wanted another round and the restaurant on a Saturday night at dinner time ran out of frozen ingredients to make a second round. Service was good, however heard another server offer something that ours did not. read more

The food prices are a bit on the high end, $20 for 4 shrimp , $39 for 4 scallops. That said, the food was tasty and service at the bar was excellant. I had the scallops with 2 sides of green beans, it was delicious!! You can't beating sitting outside on beautiful Sunday evening in the sun with the Narraganset bay behind you! read more

Saw pictures of the outside by the water looked nice. So booked a reservation for last night last reservation is at 7. My friend and I looked at the menu before heading down still making sure wanted to go. Had good selection. Get to restaurant the host was at host stand then when walked up waited 10 mins. Two servers came by said she be back.. We were seated on the deck which was nice. First was happy I brought a jacket definitely had a breeze being on water. I would've been cold eating dinner if I hadn't. Waitress sat us gave menus then walked away 10 mins later asked how were were then said she be back again. We sat a little puzzled why she didn't just take our drink and app order. She came back we ordered drinks. Then got lobster pasta and seafood pasta for dinner. My friend loved her lobster pasta My seafood pasta was good but very heavy. The red sauce made me feel very bloated and full. I wish for the clams they would've given me a bowl to put them in. Wish there was more green and vegetables within that dish and shredded cheese. Overall view was nice, waitress and host attentiveness could be better. Bring a jacket because it's on the water! read more

The view here is absolutely gorgeous and the food & drinks are solid as well. We visited The Beach House yesterday afternoon and it was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy the end of the summer. Service was great, and our drinks arrived promptly. We split the Fig & Prosciutto Flatbread, which was perfectly cooked - the crust was crisp but not charred and the toppings were generous and even throughout the pizza. Worth it for the view alone, and the food was really good as well. We'll be back! read more

Beautiful view for drinks. But avoid the food. I was served raw turkey in a turkey wrap. Management's reaction was nonchalant.

We were recommended to go to this restaurant by the Airbnb host. We made a reservation online using Open Table. When we arrived, we walked up to the hostess stand, gave our name, and were immediately seated. While most patrons sat outside, it wasn't an option for us because it was very crowded. We didn't mind sitting inside at all because it was so bright and airy that we still felt like we were visiting a beach house. The waitress was so helpful in recommendations and was very attentive to our needs and wants. Nick said the fries were really good but the burger was just okay. The wings as an appetizer were really tasty. My husband LOVED his Ahi Tuna Noodle bowl and I like the Watermelon & Buratta salad was very good but I asked for blackened chicken and it came plain. There wasn't any taste to the chicken. The drink was AMAZING!!!! read more

My family and I ate lunch at The Beach House while visiting the area. Overall it was a positive experience with great service and decent food. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pretty quiet (and raining) so the place wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately at a table with views of the water. I imagine when the weather is nicer the patio is a really nice spot to sit outside. For food we started with their fresh focaccia bread. Two of our group ordered bowls of the Clam Chowder. For mains, the group ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread, Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese, Fish & Chips, Grilled Swordfish, and Campanelle with Shrimp. Most of the group really enjoyed their food. I ordered the Fish & Chips and thought they were fantastic. My partner ordered the Grilled Swordfish but said it was overcooked and just okay. No complaints on the rest of the dishes. Our server was great. Super friendly and attentive. She checked-in frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. I would come back to this place again, but next time I'm waiting until the weather is nicer so I can enjoy that patio! read more

Great atmosphere. Love being outside looking at the water while enjoying a great meal or drinks with friends. Sunday brunch is a must try!

At 3P after visit to Blithewold garden we wanted lunch and lucked into Beach house. Two types of offerings are on their menu- regular lunches- salads, sandwiches, soups, appetizers OR dinner type entrees. So we each had a hand held. My husband, the short rib n cheese with side salad. Me , a mahi sandwich with veg slaw & fries. Grrreat food. Half the short rib sandwich came home as a doggy bag and generally my husband has no trouble finishing. read more

We've been here many times over several years and it's always been great, but today was truly awful. We waited at the host stand for 20 minutes before being greeted. We were then seated in direct sun with no breeze (what happened to all the umbrellas they used to have?) - we asked to move to shade, the host said that all the shady tables were booked for reservations, but they remained empty throughout the time we were there. The food came out scalding hot, while most drinks were room temp by the time they made it to our table. Also, we both blew up like balloons after only half a sandwich. I have no idea why - maybe bad fish? I'm genuinely nauseous as I write this. Seriously thought I might throw up on the dinghy ride back to our boat. WOW. read more

Expensive. $18 margarita. Overcooked food. Nachos need to come with a chisel. Staff was friendly however and the view is lovely.

Ah what memories I have as a RWU student 20 years ago when this was Topsides with ten cent then quarter wings! Now I've become an adult and so has this place! We started with cocktails and wine and the calamari which was both different and delicious! Then on to the rest: a bowl of chowder, beet salad, shrimp tacos, ahi and chips, salmon with street corn and rice. The food was mostly really good and represented a menu diverse in flavors while still paying homage to New England favorites and, of course, a local seafood focus. A few small tweaks could boost the rating (more chips with the ahi for example); and the staff were all wonderful though ours was still a wee bit green and learning some minor etiquette up skills. Honestly, you can't beat the setting. It was too chilly for us to eat outside but we would have in a heartbeat due to the gorgeous location and subsequent sunset. The interior is quite lovely and perfectly upscale beachy themed... light years away from the old red (?) carpet, pool table and crusty (though adored) bar of days gone by! That bar has seen some things and, given how busy it was, still does though with a more mature crowd than poor college kids! read more

We had been to the Beach House 3-4 years ago and it was nice. Yesterday we went and it was AWFUL! The maple wings were hard and tasted SO salty with a hint of artificial maple flavor. The calamari was lovely calamari with what tasted like a jar of store bought Thai sauce poured on top -gross! The lobster street corn dip had one tidbit of lobster and it looked and tasted like someone threw some cheese and corn into clam chowder for $20!!! - terrible!! Go to Portside or Quitos instead!! read more

Location, location, location, the Beach House definitely has it. Location is not everything in this case. I wanted to give this place a great review. The food is pricey for what you get. The menu is bar food. The vegetarian options limited. The hummus was covered in chili and chili oil . When I asked the server for a description that was not what I was told.. I cannot eat onions, the server put that on the order yet the kitchen added something that had onions in it. Had to be remade. And the service was pleasant but very , very , very slow. Yes they were busy but not organized and not efficient. Our server came to our table three times, never took our dinner order. When the busboy got her she said , "I never took your order." So they have the spot. With a tweak of the menu and more organized work stations, this place could really be something. Hope they get it together. read more

I love this place! I came here a few times during my bike ride stops as the trail is literally right in front of it. It's so scenic and nice inside and outside of the restaurant. The service has always been nice nice and attentive there. And most of all, the food is wow! We recently had the salmon and faro dish and it was soooooooooo good! Just thinking about it is making me crave it. It was cooked to perfection. And I love faro and haven't seen many places with it in their dishes, so I had to try this one and it did not disappoint. Their calamari and chic peas fries was also delicious. I remember I ordered a drink from here a couple of years ago. Some sort of watermelon mule and that was also memorable. This place is worth it yall! read more

My friends and I went there on a Saturday night around 7 PM. We chose to sit at the bar to enjoy the camaraderie. It was harvest full moon and the view was beautiful. The bartender was inundated as she was alone. Hence the wait time was pretty long for drinks and food but I can't blame her. She was very nice. We all enjoyed our food choices. My only issue is paying $15 a drink in a small plastic cup. I ordered a Margarita and only asked for house tequila. I get that times are tough, but when the usual is two drinks while you are out, that was 30 bucks which could have paid for a nice entrée. Views, great. Food, good. Drink prices, not good. read more

I made reservations here at the Beach House and we were all very pleased!! Beautiful harbor views, yummy food, delicious cocktails and great friends! What more can you ask for?!??! The New England Clam Chowder was so creamy and delicious plus it was topped with a fried clam strip!! I thought that was a super cool touch! The Seafood Risotto was a great choice. The dish was prepared Paella style, with chicken, shrimp, mussels, calamari, linguica and saffron. Very flavorful, the mussels were nice and plump and the shrimp were huge! read more

We decided to finally meet up with some friends and enjoy the amazing view at The Beach House. Being a huge chowder fan we had to try theirs, and it did not disappoint. Full of clams and flavor, it was really enjoyable. For dinner We had to try the Seafood Risotto, which is really more of a paella than a risotto. It was good, but lacked the creamy cheesy risotto consistency that I was looking for. The seafood was plentiful and the mussels were big and bold, so still a a very good dish. Their bar was good as well, keeping us full of our Zombie on the Beach drinks. The drinks were good, but we needed a wet nap for the incredibly sticky glasses. Still a great night with good company, so no complaints! read more

First and last time!!!food was a 5/10 but thats not why only 1 star. When I received the bill $126 for 2 shrimp tacos, a fish and chips, a kids chicken tender, a margarita, and a glass of wine.I paid with my card and pushed no tip(i tipped with cash) 2 minute's later I received a notification from my credit card I was charged $149. I asked the waiter if gratuity was included and he said no and not sure why the amount was exactly 18% more. I have worked in the restaurant business and I am guessing that he canceled out my bills and recharged it with 18%. when I went back the next day The manager clearly says I was only charged the 126 then why is my card charging me 149. I believe they are pulling scams when you pay a tip with cash. If I did not have the notification on my credit card, I would not know until I receive my monthly statement from my credit card company which by then I would have forgot what I paid always ask for a receipt and keep an eye out for the beach house waiter(Aidan) read more
