    Food was delicious and environment was great. I was just very disappointed that I told everyone I was celebrating my husbands 70 birthday. Waiter did say Happy Birthday but that was all. I had expected a comp. Drink or at least a small piece of dessert with a candle. I waited….but left feeling disappointed

    Overall a good experience, but in no rush to come back for a dinner, We ate in the Bistro, When we were walking to our table and I asked if we could eat in the porch side of the Bistro, their was a table open and I asked to sit their, The hostess said those tables were reserved, when I made the dinning reservation I did not see seating reservation option, so that was disappointing, Overall the food and service was good, we live in Narragansett and to be honest their are local restaurants with a view of the water with better drink, food and service at a better price point.

    The food was a little flavorless. This is the second time eating here and I would expect more from a high end hotel/resort.

    The menu was bland, there were no specials, the sausage penne dish didn't have any sausage in it. And the air conditioning was too low, therefore cold in the dining room. I won't mention the cost. We will not be back for a long time, if at all.
