About the restaurant
We have changed up the menu since re-opening this fall [2023] . We are catering more now to our wonderful neighborhood, and neighbors. So be prepared for a totally different menu than the old "579". That vibe and style of the old "579" can still be experienced at our sister restaurant, Chardonnay in Seekonk, just 12 minutes down the road.
Thank you,

Four of us met once a week to try Aquidneck Island restaurants. We really enjoyed the menu options from the fun cocktails to soup, oysters, entrees and dessert. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. My go to choice at places is linguini with clams this was was one of the best I have ever had. The addition of bacon and the measured use of garlic made it really delicious. I will definitely return to the restaurant. Even from walking in the door the experience was positive with a friendly hostess. Thanks!

About the restaurant
12.12.12 We began a journey together with the community of Hudson, Massachusetts. An idea to open a small flatbread shop evolved into something we could only dream about. Our story is about a community's hope to do something special and to bring attention back to the things that matter most- like sitting around a fire, with warm friends, cold beers and great flatbread! Although delicious wood fired flatbread pizza is the champion on our menu it's just the beginning -we are a family friendly restaurant offering unique spins on new American comfort food classics like burgers, chicken tenders, tacos and mac and cheese to name a few.
