Boat House

Frommer's Review

Opened in 2005, largely as a service to the occupants of the condo development rising on the hill behind it, the restaurant emphasizes fish. Originally, it was on a May-to-Columbus-Day schedule, but it proved so popular, management decided to keep it open all year. That's understandable: There's that wide vista of Sakonnet Bay, and the food is fresh, clean, and varied. Raw clams and oysters are from the region, the seafood stew has local ingredients, and the salads are large enough to serve as light lunches, especially when you choose to add chicken, salmon, or shrimp. Among the listed "munchies" are Thai mussels steamed in coconut curry with Asian vegetables and soba noodle. Most of the entrees are uncomplicated but tasty, from fish-and-chips to tuna and the double-thick pork chop. This is good place to try out the wines of Sakonnet Vineyards.
