    Patio

    The outside patio seating on a sunny day is amazing especially with a nice cocktail which they have plenty of. Make sure to get there early for happy hour bc it ends at 5pm. The clam chowder is so good too and a huge portion. We look forward to coming back in the summer time.

    Had a lovely dinner at Waterdog! Parking was a little frustrating mostly because people took up multiple spots when they didn't need to, painted lines would be a big help. Our server was friendly and on it and I loved the Portuguese inspired menu, so many tasty things to pick from. We started with the shrimp Mozambique Rangoon's which were awesome. We had the short rib bucatini which was delicious. Super heavy, but in the best way. Their summer salad was a great compliment to it. Loved how creative the earl grey spritz was. Would definitely order it again!

    I always love to come here, but their happy hour is the best time to go! The deals are off the charts! Service is always great. Food is delicious. Cocktails are yummy. Both the indoor and outdoor seating is adorable. It has a lot of charm!

    Waterdog is a quaint lil' eatery located in a restored 18th century house. It feels like you're eating in someone's very cozy, very large, very New England home. Each room is different (different furniture, different wallpaper, different decorations, different vibe, etc.) & there's a lot to look at. The menu is very imaginative, with lots of variety, which makes it sting even stronger that there are so few gluten-free options. They're known for their hot dogs & lobster roll, & neither of which have a gluten-free bun option. Their brunch dishes are all very carb/gluten heavy as well. No options for substitutions. Not having gluten-free buns in 2025 is basically criminal. The service is always really friendly & helpful. One time, our server told us that they were totally in the weeds & that service might be slow, but we barely noticed. They handled the weeds like a total professional. Waterdog is a great spot - cozy & eclectic with delicious food to match. I just wish they would offer some gluten-free alternatives on their menu.

    Went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, inside was booked up but we got to sit outside which was nice! The cocktails were good! We got the jungle booby and sunrise sour, would recommend! For lunch we both ordered off the brunch menu (served until 2pm on the weekends) and got the dirty poutine and morning tacos. Both were yummy and good portions for us. Would come back to try other drink and try some apps and mains from the regular menu. Our waitress was very friendly and service was pretty quick! The restaurant is also in a very cute area and Warren is a great little town to explore!

    Fish tacos

    Waterdog is definitely a fusion based food menu. Seems to have something for everyone who is into something that is elevated from the basic. Lots of Portuguese influence but plenty of crowd favorites. The cauliflower was some of the best I had, the both sets of tacos were great just dripping wet of sauce. Lots of people with drinks that they seemed to enjoy as well. Always busy when they go in but the servers and bartenders are always friendly. Definitely a spot that stands out from the crowd

    Super warm and cozy vibe! The building must be a historic home or something because the architecture is super unique. The food was delicious and came out quickly- we both got the burger and fries. My rating is more like a 4.5 with the deduction being that no one came back to check on us or refill water until we asked someone passing by. The people were all nice, but it took a while to get our check back and our waters refilled etc. Cool (and warm) place to grab a good bite.

    What an absolute bummer. We went to Waterdog for the first time on a beautiful fall day when their outdoor seating area was open. We weren't in a hurry and were excited to try this lovely restaurant in Warren. Their menu looks great but the service was so beyond terrible I can't even make an excuse for it. Here's the thing. Kitchen's get backed up, life happens and sometimes food just doesn't come out in a timely manner. But it's all in the way you handle it. You don't leave people sitting in the hot sun with nothing to drink for an hour, with a server who is curt. You send a manager out to multiple tables to say hey, let's make sure you have something to drink, here's an update, we care about your experience. Over an hour and we never ate and ultimately had to leave, which is the first time in my life that's ever happened. Overall it was handled quite poorly and it's not a place I would go back to, I'm sorry to say.

    Been coming to this place for cocktails and apps for years and it's always delightful. Fresh, inventive cocktails, can't beat the half off "Appy" hour for apps. Mini stuffies are perfect! Have never been for dinner but the ambiance is wonderful, it's in a historic home and is very cozy in winter. Great service!

    Delicious Portuguese inspired brunch! The interior is very charming. I would like to come back and try dinner.

    I've been here for brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks -- all great experiences. Speciality cocktails are always amazing and service is attentive and friendly. The ambiance is great in the winter with the fire place upstairs or the outside seating area.

    Octopus appetizer

    Fish and chips: the fish and chips dish was really tasty! I love how they let you choose between baked or fried fish. I opted for the baked fish which was flaky and tender. The chips were very good, although they would benefit from more crisp. The tartar sauce was a great classic addition. Wings: the garlic wings were very good, although the skin was a little tough. The flavor was there however! The bread was a great addition to soak up the sauce. Octopus appetizer: this is always a favorite when we come here. They do a fantastic job with this dish and is the 5/5 of the night. The ambiance of waterdog is always a highlight! The darkness paired with the lights of candles and warmth of the home-feel is very unique to this restaurant.

My drink had notes of rose which I found so different and delightful, though I ordered mine without egg white in it since I can't quite get into that cocktail ingredient trend. Everyone I've brought here has enjoyed their drink - glassware is pretty and photogenic but I do feel the portions are on the smaller side. What a great, "vibey" little spot to take a date, a friend on a bar crawl or quick afternoon catch up, and so on! Lots of other great stops in this plaza too, you could make a whole day out of this area without ever having to move your car. I feel I've traveled somewhere far away and a little exotic when I come here - a class act that hasn't let me down yet.

    Bywater is a highly popular restaurant that has the notoriety of being a James Beard semi finalist…read more We were very much looking forward to an excellent dinner with the family. 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.

    Bywater, we will be back!…read more Warren, RI has some great restaurants and I was surprised since I don't frequent this area much. But after this past weekend, I know I want to come back. 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!

Saint Martha exudes an old-world, Euro-Chic charm that immediately wraps you in a cozy, comfortable feeling. The details, from the original pressed-tin ceiling to the quaint glass/wood wall separating the kitchen, all add to the ambiance. We started with a complex Black Onion Garlic dip with house-made potato chips. Straight away, this puts everyone in a good mood. Our appetizers consisted of Roasted Farm Carrots & Beets, Lamb and Beef Meatballs, and Citrus & Radicchio Salad (party of 4). All were expertly crafted, creative, and delicious. Of special note, the sauce served with the meatballs was "finger-lickin good". For entrees, we ordered White Lamb Ragu, Roasted Lamb Loin, and Nettie & Ramp Pesto Fettucini. Each dish was beautifully presented and generated a lot of excitement at the table. The roasted lamb, which was perfectly cooked medium rare, was succulent. The house-made, melt-in-your mouth pappardelle pasta served with a ragu sauce put me in the zone. For dessert, we enjoyed 2 servings of a Frangipane buckwheat tart with Almond ice cream. This unusual creation was a homerun. A 32-ounce French Press was enjoyed by all. It's not easy to produce such a meal. Co-owner / Chef Keith and his staff deserve kudos for turning out consistent, extraordinary fare that transports you to a fine European café.
