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.

    Sail loft was an excellent choice to take out of town visitors. The food was delicious and service excellent. The restaurant was packed but they were able to change our reservation time when my guests were delayed in Providence traffic. We tried the whipped feta and Thai shrimp appetizers. Both were excellent. Our main course choices were the steak tips and the pan seared scallops. The portions were generous and so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Server forgot to bring drink that I ordered and wrong meal was brought to me. Was given luke warm clam chowder to eat while rest of my party had their meal. Took so long for my correct meal to come out, everyone was finished and got it to go. Very disappointing.

    Everything was great as usual but I had my grandson with us and there was no charging station in the bathroom. Something to consider.

    Neighborhood gem with Ice cream shop walking distance for desert while looking over the harbor. Beautiful village in South Dartmouth worth the trip.

    Our friends my husband and I loved our meals, the table we got on the patio and our server! We had apps at my home with a drink before our reservation plus we were com8ng back to my home for dessert! So we made the mistake of ordering our meals too soon because we were in and out of the restaurant within 50 minutes! We never expected our meals too soon arrive so quickly since the plac3 was packed!

    Great take for a casual eve~ Super ambiance, with lively bar/ music, dedicated booth/table space, then outdoor patio space. We sat in a booth. The food was very good, and the waitstaff attentive.

    Food was ok. We had mussels which were good. Both my husband’s steak and my seared scallops were bland. Painkiller drink was great!
