About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Lively
Way back in 1975, the Sail Loft lit the fire for Steve Silverstein, who went on to open nearly 40 restaurants. Located in the quintessential seaside village of Padanaram, it was the neighborhood place where you could get a good (strong) drink, chef prepared comfort food and relax in a convivial atmosphere with familiar faces. The Sail Loft was everyone’s favorite place; it was a hangout where some came for food and others for drink.

When the Sail Loft became available in 2021, Steve jumped on the opportunity to take the wheel. Steve and his wife Judy transformed the Sail Loft into an elevated neighborhood restaurant with a distinct updated boatyard feel. The spot is nautical with a chef-driven yet approachable menu, a deep selection of spirts and an intriguing wine list. As with all of Silverstein’s places, while the food, drink and design are always top-notch, it is the warm hospitality that keeps ‘em coming back.

    We decided to come here for Easter lunch and then go to Parson's Preserve to look at the daffodils. The food presentation and quality of the food has always been incredible here! They also catered to my gluten free allergies and made sure my food was good. The pan fried sole with mashed potatoes and asparagus was awesome! The fish just melted in my mouth. Their cappuccino was the best presentation I've ever had. They layered it in a glass cup. This was our second time back here, and we will be back for sure in the next coming months. We call this one of our favorite destination places to travel to from home.

    A wonderful lunch experience. The real standout was the mushroom ravioli, the Thai shrimp appetizer and the pear and sage martini special. The Hawaiian steak tips lacked flavor but overall a great experience and can’t wait to go again.

    We always enjoy coming here. Tonight was really a standout night! Rhonda was our server. She remembered my Dad and I from our prior visits and she really is fantastic! Chowder, lobster rangoons are soooo yummy, fish n chips and the short ribs are really delicious! The Cosmos were really spot on last night too! Idk if it was spring in the air, easter eve or what, but there was a really good synergy amongst everyone. As always, i particularly love that in this Servedwell Hospitality location, all the staff make eye contact and greet you. Unique i feel from their other locations, and not discounting the exceptional service. There is just something more special about this particular location! Kudos!

    Steak wedge salad was good but very light on blue cheese crumbles. Steak tips were very good and liked the pickled onions short ribs were good although a little salty. Calamari was very good, nice batter but not enough of the sauce. Unfortunately, inside dinner area was very loud and smelled of fish and old mop water. Moved to patio and was much better
