    Venue has beautiful views. Server was friendly and attentive. When he brought surprise champagne for our anniversary, he recalled my husband ordering non- alcoholic beer so brought him non- alcoholic champagne. Food and drink was good. Watched activity setting up beautiful outdoor wedding reception. Great special occasion place.

    I went to lunch at the beautiful Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. The views from the veranda, overlooking the ocean, were breathtaking. The staff was attentive, and because it was my birthday, they surprised me with a glass of Prosecco and a plate of dessert. I couldn't have asked for a nicer place for lunch; the food was delicious and plentiful.

    Amazing venue, beautiful views at the Ocean House hotel. The menu in the Verandah is fairly small, mainly raw bar, seafood and some salads. The Oysters were so fresh and we loved the lobster roll, which came with a ton of lobster meat. We had spent the week eating lobster rolls in various other restaurants and these were our favorites by far, (especially the warm one with butter). The tomato & burrata salad was so amazing.
