Basically, if you're in Watch Hill for the day, this is the best restaurant immediately I'm the area. If you don't feel like... driving to westerly, this is the best you can do, and it's solid every time. For me, it's never been GREAT, but it has certainlynever been bad. Read more
The Olympia Tea Room, along with the Watch Hill Carousel are perhaps the two most enduring institutions in southern Rhode... Island. I have been going to the Olympia for more than 40 years. Three Greek brothers, Theo, Spiros, and another whose nameescapes me were running it in the 1960s. I believe they were the founders. They really took good care of customers then. As Irecall they sold SS Pierce brand can goods from the restaurant?they were stacked on shelves. The atmosphere, thewaiters/waitresses always dressed in black and white, were something right out of a classic film. You should go there if justfor a coffee and desert. Read more
Update just had a fantastic dinner on Last night. Paella on the specials blew my mind. On their seasonal opening night, I got... their pizza margarita and beef scaloppini super fresh, light, excellent I?m always happy w this place - Best Lobster roll - huge- on a croissant and epic portions. bartender is out of this world. Best sunset view in RI. I always bring my friends herewhen we are in town. Drinks are always top notch and service is friendly. It's been owned by the same family for years, lot ofhistory about the place. Menu is frequently updated to feature whats good at certain times of the summer and fall. I recommendto everyone I know to check the place out when they head up there. Read more
Located at the ne plus ultra of Watch Hill, this is ?the place to be? to enjoy the sights and sounds of Summer. To start the... day or end it, here is where to do it. The restaurant is located on a Main Street with a, cross the water view, that can beenjoyed al fresco or inside with an air conditioned view. It has a time out of mind feel. Could have looked this way 75 yearsago and still fit perfectly on this street. No reservations taken here. Parking can be a challenge because most of the availableis for local residents only. Also limited parking from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Or you can just pay the $40-$50 to park in one ofthe lots. Either way, it?s all worth it. Drink menu was on point with a few seasonal martinis and a expansive wine selection.One of the daily specials was tuna poke, and it was delicious. Sea food and land food available here. Good menu for kids also. Read more
Hostess was not welcoming. Bread basket was tasteless, one of the dipping sauces was straight up olive oil with no seasonings. ... My greek salad was good; however, small. Daughter said ceaser dressing tasted funny. Food was EXTREMELY overpriced and justmediocre. Will not be going back. Read more
Excellent food as always. The Caesar Salad is excellent and the sausage is phenomenal. This time around we got the haddock... appetizer and it was great (pictured image). Update: Went back and had another dish. This time while I had the haddock and alime rickey with were both phenomenal I also had the burger which was excellent and a great option for those that want to keepit simple. Read more
Our server was absaloutly lovely and we had a great table sitting outside looking out onto the dock. Both the cheeseburger and... salad were delicious - sweet spot for lunch before walking over to the beach! Read more
