    This was our first visit to The Beach House. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails and entrees. The server was delightful and completely attentive. I will return as well as recommend it to friends and family.

    Nice atmosphere with many different choices for seating such as inside regular, outside upper patio, outside waterfront and inside special rooms. Loved the menu variety and the food was cooked beautifully. Good service and great value for what we had. I highly recommend this place!

    I was extremely disappointed with the food during this visit. I ordered the gnocchi & steak dish and the entire cut of steak was a slab of fat. There was not one edible bit to the entire piece. When the waitress cam back to our table 15 minutes after our food was served I mentioned this to her to let the kitchen know in the event the entire cut of meat this piece was taken from was of the same quality so they did not serve it to other guests. She clearly didn't understand what I was saying as she offered to have another piece cooked, even though it was likely to present the same issue. I would have though an adjustment would be made to the bill since half of my meal was not edible but was charged full price.

    Best view in town...the casual fare is not bad either. The drinks are great. Lobster rolls was fantastic (if a little pricey at $45...but that is market so ...). This s one of my favorite places to go for a spectacular sunset on the water.

    Overall very disappointed with our dining experience. The service was mediocre (not totally negligent but not at all attentive, friendly, or present enough), the food was just okay - nothing to crave, or get excited about. Most of the party was satisfied with the food but not one of us said we'd return.. It was my birthday, and this was a last minute dinner reservation...I thought with the beachy-bar vibe I'd be able to get a couple pina coladas...and I was rather surprised and disappointed they didn't serve them. The only thing that this place has going for it is the view and location. For the high prices I'd much prefer to go to the Boat House in Tiverton...where you actually get what you pay for!

    Despite having a reservation we had to wait an extra 15 min for our table. Food took a long time to arrive (ordered 2 burgers), and my impossible burger was burned so badly I couldn’t eat it.

    Finally got to try the paella and was very pleased, reminded me of some I have tried in Spain and was looking forward to trying it. Chowder is good but could have a wee bit more clams, good flavor. Want to head back and try a few more items, has been consistent and reasonably priced.

    We sat outside near the water, which was lovely, but it was too hot without an umbrella…not the restaurant’s fault, we should have asked for a table on the patio that was covered. The bees were relentless around our drinks and that was annoying! The drinks were very good and the food was ok. My husband and I had the tomato and herb ricotta flatbread, which was good. My friend said the spicy ahi tuna burrito was a little tough. The waitress was very friendly and attentive!

    I made a reservation on my day off to grab lunch. I had the shrimp tacos and they were delicious with a nice cold beer. I was able to sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sunshine and the view of the water. It was a very nice and serene experience.
