About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for scenic views
Charming

Located on the beautiful waterfront of Thames Street Landing, DeWolf Tavern offers a variety of dining options. Enjoy the breeze from Mount Hope Bay with a cocktail on the patio after work. The downstairs tavern serves light meals and drinks for lunch and dinner in a cozy, rustic atmosphere featuring stone walls and barked trees as supports. For a more intimate setting, enjoy a romantic dinner for two or celebrate with a group of guests in the upstairs dining room. The fireplace seating and the spectacular waterfront view ensure every visit feels like a special occasion.

Chef Sai draws inspiration from the fresh local seafood available in Rhode Island and has created a unique Contemporary American-Indian menu that highlights these ingredients. He has mastered various cooking techniques worldwide, resulting in incredible dishes that blend local flavors with the intense heat of the charcoal tandoor. Try the classic stuffed lobster, lamb curry, or a bowl of seafood stew.

We dine regularly at the DeWolf Tavern whenever we are in the Newport/Bristol area. Consistently excellent food and service. Last night, we ate outdoors, with a scenic view of the ocean. My wife is a vegan, and they have several very tasty food options for her, and are flexible about modifying dishes. Highly recommended.

DeWolf is a hidden gem. They serve one of the best breakfasts in Bristol at a much cheaper price than the other establishments and people don’t know about it. People associate DeWolf with dinner.

We had the lamb chop appetizer that was absolutely delicious. My husband had the lobster popover, and I enjoyed the filet minon. All cooked perfectly. The staff was pleasant and attentive, and the setting was quiet and romantic. We went for an early dinner on a Saturday, so it was not very busy.
