About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
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.

    Good, solid, sea-side food and extremely well organized staff. We were at a high top by the bar, which was surprisingly less noisy than expected. Great spot for a quick, reliable meal.

    The heirloom tomato, strawberry, and burrata salad was absolutely delicious! Our server was also lovely and attentive. My husband also enjoyed his Cobb salad. Perfect evening!

    Seated in a booth which we love and had a great waitress and new menu items were delicious! I recommend the salmon over grilled zucchini and coconut rice and pineapple salsa.

    Sail Loft is one of my favorite restaurants, speciations time of year. It’s just lovely to be near the water and in Padanaram when it’s warm and sunny. My fave choice is the Thai shrimp appetizer…just delicious and such unique flavors. The service is wonderful, the staff very friendly, and lovely, comfortable atmosphere.

    I ordered the fish and chips beer batter and the batter was not crispy but a little soggy. The piece of fish was small and the 2 forkfuls of coleslaw didn’t really cut it. And shoestring fries need to go. Not pleased with this meal. My wife ordered the steak frites but expected steak fries not shoestring to accompany the steak. She did say she would probably order it again. Overall I felt that things were 6 out of 10. Sorry!!!
