Westerly Restaurants

Foodie family took me here for my birthday. Ellas' is our "go to" restaurant for special occasions but with the prix fixe option, it is a FABULOUS deal and we can go anytime. More

Overall Rating 4.4 (due to food quality pulling down overall experiential score). This was a tough review since we have been coming to the Ocean House and surroundings since the 70's mostly on beach trips to Watch Hill - and have observed the preservation of this once Beach side Grandam hotel go through disrepair to renaissance and renewal. From a classic NEngland Beach House experience to a now "high-style" upper crust resort property - obviously not all good since in many ways it has become far out of reach of the average diner or for overnight friendly hotel visit to RI shore as focused on catering to a high-end clientele of modern "Gatspy" era including local wealthy debutantes and families to NYC/NJ hedge fund winners. This reputation and reality had long kept us from frequenting the property due to high level of pretense, a failure to celebrate the common NE visitor, and intentional movement of Ocean House proprietors to restrict beach front usage of a coast that for years, perhaps centuries had a strong egalitarian feel albeit mostly reserved for the ultra-wealthy that live along this thin peninsular RI jetty - at least to the high water line. All said, we decided to splurge at "Coast" for a 39th Anniversary and open our minds to a visit we had long imagined but never committed. One day before NYrs Eve we had a pleasant surprise as the hotel was quieter than normal and catered beautifully to us throughout the night. The Service and hotel staff received the highest of accommodations (A+++) in being thoughtful, informative and friendly without pretense nor judgement. A really AWESOME Dining Experience - great fun and experiential "theater". The food unfortunately was lacking in taste, exploration, or multi-level flavor profile at times bland and frankly boring even as a "tasting" menu? We have eaten at many great Michelin quality restaurants around the world and Coast will need to work to heighten their food experience to be considered again. More
