Tavern by the Sea

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and we both loved our meals. I had lobster ravioli and he had the lobster roll + bacon and they were both incredible! I highly recommend sitting outside by the water for the best experience! So peaceful and relaxing

My son and I came here the first week of August 2025 while we were in town, wandering around the shops. We sat outside on the patio. The ambiance was pleasant, and view, serene. The warm sun shined down on us as we chilled under the umbrella in the low 80’s and blue sky weather. Our server Sarah was excellent. She was pleasant, professional, and attentive. The food was very good. A few summery beverages, some RI Clam Cakes (a RI Tradition) with delicious tartar sauce, and the Tavern Burgers were really good! We ate it all! Sadly, there was no room for dessert. But we will be back again!! If you are looking for a quaint, easy to get around town on foot, shops, and restaurants, then Wickford is a nice place to swing by. And for the price, setting, service, and offering, Tavern by the S

We were here our last night of vacation in Narragansett, and this was my favorite meal by far. We got there before the usual dinner time rush, so our experience might be a bit different than others, but it was still great. Truly exceptional Santorini octopus, and the lobster rangoons were excellent. I was especially happy with the octopus; it was not rubbery or chewy, but perfectly charred and tender.

If you were around New England this winter, it felt like the ones we used to have. Tavern By The Sea would have spent an inordinate amount of funds trying to keep warm, so it's good that they are open in the late Spring, Summer, and early Fall. We went on the weekend that they had opened up, and decided on dining in one of their interior dining spaces. The table was close to the bar and the server station. You could tell that the staff was getting ready for the busy-ness of the Summer season! The food is good. The gluten-free pasta dish was tasty, the burger was, too. The fries that come with the burger were substantial. Their

Went on a rainy day and tried the French onion soup. I also had a glass of rose and a salad. Soup had good flavor and they offered a GF option which is a plus! They split the salad which was great. Server was attentive and it was overall a good experience. Would love to sit outside for those vibes!! Just was a bit expensive for a lunch! 2 roses, 2 soups and 1 split salad with chicken for $100 after tip 🥣
