Stayed at the Ocean House, and we don't usually like to disparage any place, but this hotel needs to be cleaned, and monitored at a high level. When we went there, no one monitored people who took their masks off DURING COVID, and I had to mention to one of the employees. There was no 6 feet of social distancing even though they say there is, and no over seeing it. It was frightening to be there so we ran out, but not before these important comments need to be made. The pricing of the meals are exorbitant, and portion is the size of your finger. When you go to the ladies room, you are being monitored by the cleaning lady which is creepy, and she watches if you take one tissue. Also, the lobby is tiny and the valet staff watches your every move coming in and out, and you feel as if the FBI is watching you the whole time. Not a good feeling at all, and again very unsettling. The valet area outside is a nightmare and is always backed up so it is stressful as you want to enjoy this place, but cannot. When asking for anything is a huge task. Getting a water bottle is asking for pot of gold or salt/pepper. They want to turn over tables quickly and again it is a watch fest the whole time. Everyone seems so busy to help guests, but no one seems happy, and I cannot emphasize the steering at all the guests. It needs to be repeated since it feels like an x-ray that does not go away unless you run out of the place. If someone gets back to me on this, it will be a miracle, but probably not. Check any responses. read more

This place was amazing. We sat on the verandah and had appetizers and wine. We were greeted by the waitress with shawls. It was getting cool so she offered us shawls to keep warm. The staff was friendly and accommodating The wine and appetizers were fresh and delicious. The view of the ocean and their finely manicured lawn was amazing. We could see Taylor Swifts home. You are at the south tip of RI surrounded by ocean. read more

We recently did the fondue village dinner experience and found it to be extremely overpriced and underwhelming in regards to the food. You are paying for the ability to eat in a gondola and should not have high expectations for the food.. read more

I love the Ocean House. I have been going to Westerly ever since I was a child. We would go to the beach and then over to the Ocean House for lunch or dinner. As an adult I still love going to the Ocean House. If I'm in Westerly for the day I always go to the beach, then Ocean house for lunch or dinner. I have gone there for special occasions, like birthdays. I have also gone to a few events hosted by the Ocean House. I went to the lobster bake dinner they host in the summer on the beach. That was one of my memorable nights last summer. I am glad I got to go last summer because this summer was a COVID summer. But last summer the food, cocktails abs atmosphere was incredible. There was a perfect cotton candy sunset on the beach that night too. This winter we are planning on going to the Fondue Village (pending COVID.) I am already looking forward to that event. Every time I go to The Ocean House the staff is very nice and welcoming. The next thing I want to go there for is the spa, I hear it is beautiful and a great experience. I would recommend The Ocean House for any dinners, lunches or events to anyone looking for something special and different to do in RI. read more

Beautiful setting in the regions most charming town Watch Hill. Been here for the spa several times, lunch at the Bistro and Verandah. Every time we have gotten excellent service. The food may seem overpriced for the quality, but the gorgeous coastal setting makes it worth it as a treat. The only improvement I would like is that the spa enforced quiet rules. Best to book a treatment during off peak hours. read more

Cabaret On The Lawn With Steve Palumbo Friday, August 30 2019 @ 7:00pm - 10:00pm Great night for an annual event!! Loved the valet parking too! Entire evening was excellent from beginning with dinner, drinks, music and ended fireworks!! read more

The ocean house is a triple 5 star facility: restaurant, hotel, spa. The hotel definitely earned those stars. It is magnificent and the staff are extraordinary. Service is exquisite. The spa is good, four stars good. I can only compare it to the spa at Ojai, which is one star better based on facilities, in my opinion. The food is the big downer here. It was inconsistent and not particularly inventive. The salmon on quinoa was flavorless and the quinoa was a pile of mush. I couldn't eat it. The root beer pulled pork was inedible. Tuna wraps were passable, but the balance of pickled onions and peanut sauce was off. Plus the whole thing was watery. Creme brûlée was ho hum. On the plus side, the service was great and some of the dishes were fine. But 5 stars? Nope. The setting is truly amazing. The staff are well trained and gracious. I just wish the food were up to that standard. read more

Ocean House Resort is a stunning must see if you're ever in the Road Island area and I highly recommend you taking a visit to check it out for yourself. My family and I were in awe of this stunning resort as we pulled up to the valet. We were greeted by friendly staff that really went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful experience during our visit. The resort has a wrap around porches that are simply stunning and there isn't a bad seat in the house (or in this case, on the deck). Time spent with my family gathered around the table for lunch with the fantastic ocean view was priceless as we dined at SEASONS Restaurant. We enjoyed Refreshing Tea, Sangria, Fish N' Chips, and excellent Clam Chowder. Artwork in the Hotel Lobby Lounge were all so breathtaking and suited the ambiance perfectly. This luxurious resort has a fresh, yet warm atmosphere that complimented the coastal style effortlessly. We were so relaxed during our day trip here and look forward to returning for a longer visit next time. Thank you for your awesome hospitality! read more

Dinner for 4 with friends. Got 2 expensive bottles of wine. Staff was attentive but not not very competent. Dinner took an hour to come out while a large table near us who came in after us got their food first. One of us had to send theirs back twice, as the first time there was a foreign object in the food and the second time the replacement protein which was supposed to be medium to medium-well was completely raw. The staff was apologetic and discounted the food, but just awful experience. Won't be back read more

This hotel has an excellent veranda with a gorgeous beach view and a refined, manicured lawnspace. I love to come by for a pre-dinner drink in the summertime. The service is always friendly and helpful. If I don't get married here... no, I am 100% getting married here. read more

So let me set the tone for this review here. I was on a 1 night get-away to see some old college friends and co-workers down in Westerly, RI and my old co-worker said I simply must see this place. So, the overall plan was to essentially drink and eat our way around Westerly and the surrounding area and this was about mid-way on our trip. When we got out to the Ocean House the less than stellar rain clouds seemed to part just long enough for a glint of sunbathed blue sky to peak out and create the most breathtaking backdrop for this rather grandiose hotel. Most likely guests who stay here enjoy this quite a bit more than we were able to but just the little snippet of the sublime was enough. As we pulled in to valet the car it started pouring again. Two of the doormen came down with umbrellas and helped us up under the front awning. The interior is like vineyard chic meets fox hunt meets old money. The kitchen is open and clad with a small militia of white coats and blue aprons, directly facing the large rectangular horse-shoe that is their bar. Which, of course, is where we sit. Now there are few things (in my humble opinion) that I look for to judge a bar right when I sit down. The first and most important thing of all: do they have Fernet. And behold, I see that lovely dark emerald green bottle poking its precious little head out from amongst the crowd (other notables were the luxardo maraschino and the cocchi americano). So to bring it back, this just kind of tells me that at least someone either blindly knows what to order or they know what they're doing to some effect. But I digress. We had a really spectacular cheese board with several local cheeses, some amazing local honey comb (they actually keep bee's there!) and some other traditional tag-alongs. We weren't planning on being there for more than a drink and a snack when a pair of servers brought out a foursome of incredible looking appetizers: a pair of corn bisque and a pair of terrines of duck foie gras, encased in carrot gelee and carrot cake. The bisque was (naturally) poured table side and the carrot cake and duck foie is something I will always remember as a "why the hell have I never thought of that before" moment. Big thanks to the barman for supplying me with my dear toronto cocktail and thanks to our friend in the kitchen for extending our visit with amazing treats. When I become independently wealthy I will actually book a room there and join you for a real dinner. read more

This was my first time at ocean house. My partner has been raving about it, saying he's gone every year for years before Covid. It is no longer all you can eat Brunch (help yourself) which is expected post Covid yet doubled in price.... (5 people $459 before tip) The food was plentiful and no one left hungry. However, the service was not five star service. There was a language barrier which caused communication confusion when trying to order orange juice And a special order food for my elderly father. Even ordering milk for coffee was a hassle with explanations. We went for for my Dads birthday and told them yet was surprised there was no celebration candle ( we saw one at another table earlier). My shredded beef sandwich was very dry and over cooked- looked like it was under a heater for hours. The others food was very well cooked. All in all - we will chop up as an experience and not be back here. For $500 I would recommend hitting up another five star diving. read more

Great place for a drink of choice on a beautiful porch with a fantastic view. Didn't stay there or have dinner, just a drink. Valet parking is complimentary and they are not allowed to accept tips (why pay extra for good service - it is all included). Nice time overlooking the family getting croquet lessons on the green. The locals complain about the prices but compared to a 3 or 4 star in a big city, the menu was comparably priced. Plus - if a martini costs $14 here you are paying $10 for the tini and $4 for the VIEW. The only problem they have on the veranda is the service - we've been here 4 times, 2 times the service is what you would expect from a place featured in Conde Nast....but two times we were ignored to get a table, ignored for our order, had to tackle a server for our check, etc. I think it is challenging to get good help in a resort area but something they need to work on. read more

So let's start with the property absolutely beautiful! Staff and service amazing! Food HORRIBLE and the fondue experience a joke! 775.00 for food that was diner quality I was so disappointed especially as this was our 10 year anniversary and I ate nothing. We expected good food especially being represented by Veuve cliquot champagne! Avoid this experience at all cost as that is the only way to describe this as an experience just not sure what kind! At least we had a good bottle of wine and laughed about it! Heard similar feedback from others. Ocean house RE-visit the menu. FYI read more

Outstanding experience from beginning to end! Unsurpassed service that sets the bar for others to try to attain. Special thanks to Joe Witherell, César Arriaga and Brian in the Club for going above and beyond to add to a fabulous weekend!!!! read more

With Christmas around the corner and my husband's birthday falling on a Sunday, we made the swift trip up to Rhode Island with our daughter for a special and much-needed weekend getaway. The moment that the Ocean House came into view, our real life (laundry! errands! dogs!) fell away. Watch Hill is something from a storybook and the hotel is breathtaking. After a lazy lunch in the Winter Garden - sun streaming in the windows, cold beers, a few plates to share - we headed up to our room, changed into more comfortable clothes and committed ourselves fully to the spacious accommodations and ocean view. A crib and children's books had been brought in for our daughter and complimentary champagne arrived shortly after for our quiet birthday celebration. The hotel staff, while gracious and friendly as ever, barely saw us until check out the following morning - with the exception of several in-room dining deliveries. It was truly a perfect afternoon and evening. I lounged around our room doing nothing in particular, my husband went down to the gym for a long steam, and the baby played happily in the deep tub that we filled with bubbles. We have enjoyed outstanding meals at Seasons. We've been lucky enough to have had a few drinks in the private Club Room. We came to the Ocean House for our honeymoon. However this visit was, by far, my favorite. Please don't let the mixed reviews for the restaurant speak for the hotel, grounds or staff. The Ocean House is a truly exquisite property steeped in history and thoughtfully furnished with beautiful textiles, polished wood and a most impressive collection of artwork. It is a true New England gem and a perfect spot for all kinds of days and moments - from honeymoons to eating club sandwiches and fries in your pajamas. read more

This review is for the Verandah restaurant. We arrived and were promptly greeted by valets this past Sunday. There was some confusion as this was our first time visiting the hotel, and we did not know where specifically the Verandah was, as each restaurant in the hotel is really just a different room. We were directed to the outside front porch and addressed by a woman with a less-than-helpful attitude. A pleasant management-type actually came and walked us around the hotel to show us the menus and the restaurants, and thank goodness he did, because he made all the difference. We went back to the Verandah and were seated by the woman with the attitude, who ended up being polite and doing what she had to do, but maybe she was just having a bad day... The menu was fairly small but had a nice range. We ordered lettuce wraps with chicken, the burrata and tomato salad, and hot lobster rolls. The lettuce wraps were good but simple, with a peanut sauce being the main flavor. The tomato salad was incredible, and I'm still dreaming about it. Lobster rolls were perfect, the large chunks of lobster really were great. It comes with a basic coleslaw and potato chips. I had a glass of sauv blanc, and my co-adventurer had a delicious hot green tea that tasted like hibiscus that came in a pot. The service was good. I was given a black shawl for the windy evening. We overlooked the croquet field and the ocean. Adorable children were running around the field and the sun made an appearance towards the conclusion of dinner. The house itself is beautiful. The atmosphere for the restaurant is what I might think of as resort casual, but the other restaurants (rooms) required nicer dress. You have to get your parking ticket validated at the restaurant. Be prepared to spend a good amount of money. I needed to use the restroom and was guided through the lobby, and I've got to say that half the stalls were dirty, no music, and it smelled quite bad... If you judged a place like this on it's primary bathrooms, I would not come back. Thank you to that manager-type with the soft demeanor and slight accent who showed us around. You're the reason that I'd give this place another chance and will be booking a stay in the future! read more

Jazz brunch at the Ocean House...swanky without snobbery. Headed over here for my first visit to Ocean House to host a birthday celebration for my mother who is celebrating a milestone birthday. Her favorite meal is brunch and she loves the ocean so I knew the venue would have to be beach-side. I've been to the "other" locale by Newport waters for brunch and wanted something different, but local. My search led me here. I was impressed to know that they have the distinction of being the only Forbes five-star and AAA five diamond hotel in Rhode Island. Even knowing this nugget of information I was still happily overwhelmed with our experience here. From the moment we were greeted by the valet to the minute we left, we were treated graciously by the entire staff. And let me start by saying that I indulge my husband's wish to drive our very old four cylinder vehicle on any trips over a few miles from home - regardless of the distinction of our destination. As we were pulling up I was definitely wishing I was in our shiny new vehicle left in the driveway. But really, the valet took his keys as if he were driving the latest luxury sedan. (I firmly believe my huz knows how much I hate rolling up in the "beater", but I will not give him the satisfaction of seeing me crack...I digress). I know that valet detail may seem trivial, but it really holds quite a bit of water for me. You cannot judge a book by its cover - and I love when folks follow through on that corny saying...and even better when I AM the book. The property is stunning. The hotel has fully windowed frontage offering sweeping ocean views beyond a spacious, covered verandah just steps from the beach. The meticulous landscaping is a mixture of putting greens, croquet courts and native perennial plants. The inside dining area is white bead board with hard wood floors. Very diverse artwork hanging on the walls - pen and ink drawings, photographs and oils added to the classic, understated, seaside resort décor... The brunch offering has two choices: an a la carte menu choice with a light pastry basket and no beverages included OR the buffet selection with an additional meal choice from the a la carte menu including endless sparking beverages, coffee and juice. The choice for our party of ten was the brunch buffet with the menu item. The buffet here is an expansive mix of offerings: a full raw bar (oysters and little necks), a crepe station, bakery offerings, a charcuterie station, assorted salads and a wonderful dessert station. I'm embarrassed to say that I sampled small bits of almost everything EXCEPT the baked goods...and a LOT a bit of the raw bar. And I still had an entrée - whew! My eggs benedict was lovely. A lightly poached pair of eggs atop thinly sliced ham on an english muffin lightly draped with a fluffy and flavorful hollandaise sauce. My husband did offer me a taste of his divine lobster omelet - teeming with fresh lobster meat, gruyere, fresh green beans and finished with hollandaise. Holy. Cow. Dad didn't really care for his sesame encrusted shrimp with cellophane noodles. A bit too spicy, but as described on the menu. French-pressed coffee brewed with local beans from Dave's was rich and tasty. The mimosas were delish but the real beverage star was their bellini with fresh peach puree and oj with a generous pour of bubbly. Careful with those bubbles...tiny bubbles....you know how the rest of it goes... The jazz trio played in the front of the house, near the entrance. Noticeable as a tasteful addition to the ambience only, not overwhelming conversation at all. Our server, Jared, was attentive without being intrusive. Always a tricky bit for servers at higher end venues in my experience. I think the $54 per person cost was very reasonable considering the entire dining experience that we received. You must make reservations ahead of time if planning to do brunch as they were turning several parties away since they were fully committed for the day's seating. I would recommend at least two weeks for the summer months. However, if you miss the seating for brunch and want to pop in here for a bite, they were seating folks at tables outside. Valet parking is a must as there is no on-street parking here. We left our wee ones at home. Good choice since the leisurely pace for brunch, while enjoyable without kids, would drive the young ones (and their adults) crazy. Bottom line: Buffet, book ahead, enjoy. read more

We are very fond of Ocean House but this last visit was bad. My wife's salad was composed of brown wilted lettuce that you would not serve at home or anywhere else. Her salmon was served with nothing on the plate but the fish. No veg, no sauce, nada. The dressing on our salads was bland. Not their normal house-made. Our server was awesome and graciously brought the manager to our table, who denied anything was off about the lettuce, which was laughable, and that it was the same dressing as always, also untrue. The lonely fish got no comment. My bolognese was fine. Ocean House is very expensive and this time we felt ripped off. So we had another drink at the lounge area to soothe our minds. read more

This place was excellent, beautiful views, great food, and excellent drink selection. Tasting of Rhode Island appetizer was perfect. Great selection of meat and cheese. We also enjoyed the the New England clam chowder, short rib sandwich, and Caesar salad. Great place to stop and see while in the area. read more

This is a review for the fondue express experience. Let's start with the positives. Friendly staff who often checked on us to make sure we were satisfied, and the gondola was nicely decorated. The staff overall throughout Ocean House were all extremely welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, these are the only positive things I can say about this experience. I hate to be so negative towards a business, but I hope to give a more authentic review of the experience and save others from spending so much for so little. No experience has ever left me feeling so robbed. Your meal begins with a meat plate consisting of ham and vegetables. Additionally, you get an unlimited amount of bread. Next, you move onto an appetizer consisting of either a very plain salad or a flavorless barley soup. Your main course, what was supposed to be the appeal, is a sack of potatoes and bread crumbs to dip into fondue. The supplies for this course likely cost them less than $5 to make. Yes, the meal is pretty filling, but you've been loaded up with carbs. Maybe add a little meat or seafood, or even just vegetables to the course? You get disappointing cookies that seem to come from some cheap holiday packs. The one redeeming part of the course was the plum tart with ice cream, which my group did enjoy. How much does a group of 6 pay after tax/gratuity - $822. You're paying $137 per person for something that shouldn't be more than $137 total for everyone. Let me rephrase this. You're paying almost a grand to sit in a gondola on a lawn at the Ocean House. This is not including alcohol, which will run your tab up another considerable amount. Save your money. Build your own gondola and make your own fondue at home. It'd be a much cheaper and enjoyable experience. Thank you to the friendly staff throughout Ocean House who tried to make our visit enjoyable, but I would not recommend this experience to anyone. Response to Ocean House's response below: I hate saying more negative things, but there was no Veuve clicquot champagnes or kirsch provided extra. The only beverage included in the original price was water; everything else was an additional charge. As for the specialty chocolate, these were small pieces of chocolate you can find at your local CVS or often provided complimentary at restaurants or hotels. read more

We dined on the veranda overlooking the ocean. The ambiance is a spectacular. The menu has changed since my last visit two years ago. Now the restaurant serves Mexican food. We ordered three different tacos entrees with pork, beef and shrimp. The meat was dry and tacos were scantily filled. The Margaritas were in 8 oz glasses filled with ice and cost $22! We were so disappointed. read more

This is my second trip to The Ocean House. The first trip was to the champagne garden which was amazing (minus the bees). The second trip we decided to try the Fondue Village. Outside of the food the experience was awesome. They really need to step up the food situation- terrible. The property and the hotel are absolutely breathtaking and top notch. Will definitely be back!!! read more

From start to finish the service was top notch. Champagne when you arrived, knowing you by name for the entire stay, and an elegance that is unsurpassed, while not being pretentious at all. It is pricey, but if you pick a low season stay and take advantage of the chef's classes, spa, pool, spirits class, etc., it is well worth your money. We went in April and had miles of beach to ourselves. The restaurant inside is a bit confusing as the same space only with different sections to separate each entity, but the food was very good. read more

Just being here in this grand resort on the Atlantic seaboard is invigorating. The grounds are meticulously kept with plants labeled and foliage blended so artfully. The prevailing theme seems to be sailboats: magnificent oils of various sail scenes are hung throughout the halls.

Review for the brunch. Tip: go during Xmas time because the property is decorated beautiful. The brunch is $70 per person, but it's all you can eat buffet. Probably the most high end buffet I've ever been to. There's a sample menu on their website and it changes frequently. If you aren't sure which plated menu item to get, you can order more than 1! There's a crepe station, dessert, pastries, raw bar and more! The food was great. My review is based on the service. Our waitress was not attentive. We had to call her over except for the first time she came to ask us for drink orders, 1 time to take our food order and another to refill our drinks. We eventually stopped waiting to get her attention and called over other servers. The brunch comes with bottomless mimosas/ Bellini and champagne...but had to get someone's attention for refills. Maybe you will have a different experience with a difference server. Last time I went was 2015 and honestly cannot remember that being an issue. read more

This review is based on my experience in the members only bar. This is a secret bar, and it is only available to members and their guests, so there is no point in writing it other than to show off how cool I am to have been invited. Best bloody mary I've ever had. There is mashed avocado in the mix, which makes it thick and rich. The bar tender says this is the only secret ingredient, but I'm sure I tasted garlic too. This place is elite, fancy, and exclusive. This bar and lounge is more like a library with a roaring fire, and gorgeous deck. This is literally my dream venue for Watch Hill. read more

The four of us enjoyed our lunch on the verandah with a panoramic view of the ocean and area. The Pesto Roasted Chicken Salad w/creamy burrata, etc. was the best. Friends also enjoyed their dishes, the Seaside Burger and the Spiced Salmon Salad. What I can never understand is the glass of Del's Lemonade for $10. Oh well. Our server, Valerie was very helpful with selecting among the many entrees. She was also very professional, attentive and very personable. Have been here many times over the years. Have had Breakfast, Sunday Buffet Brunch, Dinner and just relaxing on the terrace. I'm now also looking forward to dining at The Bistro. Neighbor's of mine have raved about that as well. Another day.

Let me start by saying over the past couple of years my husband and I have been lucky enough to stay at the OH resort several times. I've even listed a couple of their best rooms previously, I have one particular room that is absolutely the best room I've ever stayed in anywhere ( I won't list it here again because it tends to book quickly) Anyway, during our stays at OH I have personally had the luxury of all day spa treatments (every visit literally head to toe treatments), We have enjoyed their in room dinning (the hand made Ice Cream is absolutely fantastic even if I do have to beg for them to send it up due to their concerns about the quality once sent upstairs, WORTH IT!) , I cannot forget to mention that being greeted by their always charming and familiar valets and guest coordinator's with a Champaign toast is the nicest start to any weekend. So, After we get settled and walk in to our always breathtakingly gorgeous suite which always includes special little personalizations like monogrammed pillows and or handmade treats and notes from the pastry chef a bottle of our favorite Wine or Champaign with compliments of the resort President all laid out upon arrival....clearly I can keep going on and on and then after we have been introduced to our personal room Valet & Butler who confirms every single detail of our stay and caters to our every need right down to our preferred room scent (yeah that's a thing at OH) Well, after all of that we talk ourselves into leaving our (the worlds most) perfect suite and typically start with dinner at the Bistro after check in, then a nice Brunch at Season's in between my spa treatments the next morning and once my Spa days complete I meet my husband for Dinner at Season's ( We actually stayed for Mother's Day recently and it was a wonderful Brunch and the perfect topping to our weekend getaway) or we occasionally have dinner in The (invite only) Club Room. We have shopped in the boutique (every stay) which has perfectly curated pieces year round. My husband spoils me with spa goodies because the Red Flower and Eminence collection's they carry are wonderful. We prefer perfect local getaways to big vacations where you tend to need a vacation from your vacation but I highly doubt there is a resort that tops the Ocean House. I can keep going on about how wonderful everyone is, I don't want to forget that every time we make reservations the catering to your every whim begins there, we have even been accommodated at Spicer House which is also just beautiful. Devon Pignataro has even worked to personally accommodate myself and my husband during a few of our visits, just due to a very minor dietary misunderstanding which had of course immediately made it to the attention of Daniel A. Hostettler the resort's president, So Devon reached out to us directly on his behalf to immediately rectify the situation which absolutely wasn't at all necessary but that's how seriously they take your experience at OH. Needless to say any poor review here is nonsense. The Chefs in the restaurant are fabulous, The Staff in the resort are beyond accommodating and every offering from this resort is top notch. I always wanted to take the time to let the Ocean House Team know what a wonderful job they do for their guests but honestly it was a tough review to start because I wasn't quite sure where I was going to end. Kudos to Daniel, Devon, and the OH team we will of course be back again soon! read more

Only reviewing the food at the veranda outside and it was nowhere near the quality of what someone would expect for the prices they charge. The hotel is great, really awesome location and the grounds are incredible. But the food quality does not match the hotel. Hopefully someone that has a clue takes over sometime soon to make some changes. It felt like we were eating at the clam shack with a really nice view. read more

Amazing service and ambiance. We can't wait to go back. Came here on a double date for the Fondue Village prix fixe dinner, and was really blown away by the food, service, and quality. It's also just a beautiful space to walk around and take in. We're hoping to go back this summer for another weekend event. As far as service, we arrived really early from Boston to beat traffic, and the staff offered us drinks while we waiting (the bar was closed for a private event.) Very unexpected treat, which we were happy to indulge in after a stressful drive down. All-in-all a very lovely hotel with charming staff! read more

Bruno, one of the front desk staff (I believe) was a pure delight. The epitome of service and consideration. His service was so on point it made me wonder how I can be better in my own life. Most language is nonverbal. Many times I have spoken to front desk staff at different hotels/inns and, though they said the right things, the nonverbal cues would convey that they were faking their kindness (which is understandable). The only signals Bruno gave was kindness. read more

This review is just for the restaurant/bistro. Let's say it is one of most beautiful places I have ever been. It's like a Mary Cassatt painting came to life. Old music from the 40s plays softly in the background (think Sinatra, Crosby). The hotel is old Victorian elegance and the bistro has a room facing the ocean where you can watch kids play in the waves. We did not have this hotel on our radar but will absolutely be back next summer to stay. I had their lobster roll on brioche which was just as elegant and tasty as it sounds. read more

Located in the heart of Watch Hill is this fairly recently renovated 5 star resort. I believe that the intent in renovating this property was to create and upscale resort, and fine dining experience. You do not receive 5 star status without paying attention to all the little details, and those details come with a price. With that being said my family and I booked one of the last reservations for today's "Sunday Jazz brunch". I will say the staff is amazing from the second you walk on property and are greeted by the always smiling valet crew! The hosts are all equally friendly and courteous, as well as every staff member of the property. Over all we had a great experience and even chatted with the good old St Nick as he walked around the property and chatted with each family individually. It was a very nice touch! The price of the buffet style brunch is pretty average for this type of property/resort/upscale dining, so we all definitely felt as if we got our monies worth in terms of food and quality. The brunch comes with an all you can eat raw and salad bar, as well as mimosas. Also an entree from the list of approximately six dishes. I chose the fisherman's stew, which was perfect! All this followed by crepes and all types of deserts and coffee. Our one and only complaint was confusion between servers, could be because we were the last reservation and there until the end of the brunch. There was a mix up/issue with who had our table and another issue with the computer software during cashing out, which kept us doing a lot of waiting around. All in all it was an outstanding afternoon and great dining experience! Cheers read more

Elegant & classic, with a breathtaking view of the beach. We were just visiting Watch Hill for a few hours & someone recommended that we have a drink here. I'm so glad we did. The grounds, the wraparound porch, and the interior is so majestic. You can tell this place is steeped in tradition. Our cocktails were also super delicious. My girlfriend had the In the Weeds which is gin-based with tarragon leaves in it. She loved it. I had the Four Islands which is lemony & with some sweetness, but it was honestly one of the best drinks I've ever had. I wish I had one right now! read more
