Wish they had more vegan pastries if course, I didn't get any either day I went. They had a vegan cow poke type cookie but I skipped it and went for the vegan just egg breakfast sandwich. Okay the blackberry syrup is TO DIE FOR I keep thinking about it! UGH I wish I could come here more. To say that this is a favorite of mine would be an understatement. Worth the line and wait, worth the money. Great service and vibes. Beautiful location!!!!!!!!

Let's start with the amazing food!! My friend and I stopped in during a very very busy day…read more(Saturday during August!) and ordered sandwiches to go. I tried half of a Ti Penso and half of the Sun sandwich. Both were delicious but I loved the Sun, it was super flavorful without being heavy and was something I hadn't tried before. The Ti Penso was tasty as well, but definitely felt the Sun won out. The spot is super busy so be warned that the wait times (at no fault of the staff!) are extreme. We got in line at 12:15, ordered at 12:45 and got our food around 1:30. So overall waited over an hour for two sandwiches. However, I imagine if you came during a quiet period it would be a great place to sit inside and read!

I mentioned to my family she's not nice and they all agreed. It's sad because we just left another restaurant and they were amazing. Truth we only left because they close at 3pm. I come to block island a lot. First time I stopped in and my first impression was not good.

Loved the build your own pizza option and I applaud you for having a nondairy cheese option. Our only recommendation is watch the flatbread pizza cook time.

Our party ordered a cold lobster roll, two burgers, and fries. The burgers and fries were…read moreexcellent. As prominently displayed on their website and elsewhere, the food is cooked to order and it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving food. The burgers and fries were worth the wait. Unfortunately, the $38 lobster roll seemed to have been prepared well in advance of the burgers and fries, and had been left to sit with the nicely grilled and buttered bun steaming in a plastic clamshell while the rest of the order was completed. The bun was completely soggy and fell apart when I tried to pick it up. It seemed like it would have been quite good if served promptly, but was disappointing. Recommend ordering the food to be eaten in their seating area, to avoid the plastic clamshells, and factor in different cooking times for different dishes if ordered together.

When we checked in, we were told we were the only large party, yet we ended up waiting what felt like an hour. When I mentioned this to our waitress, she snapped back that it had been "39 minutes." I asked her to double-check, and soon after we were told our table was being cleaned and would be ready in 10 minutes. When we walked up, the manager George, who I've seen here throughout more than a decade of visits, was his usual warm and genuine self. He personally apologized for the delay, and that sincerity more than made up for the rocky start. Once seated, our experience turned around completely. Our waitress Lindsay was an absolute gem! Kind, attentive, and patient, even with three fussy kids in the mix. The food was excellent as always, and The Oar continues to deliver on the reasons it remains a staple in my Block Island rotation.

I appreciate that their food is "farm to table" fresh, but the portion sizes should match the prices. Our table of ten spent an average of $320 per couple, and three of the couples had split their dinners. We did order appetizers and drinks as well. I explained my food allergies to the waitress. She relayed the info to the kitchen and did her best to accommodate me. I ordered a small charcuterie without blue cheese. It came with Prosciutto, manchego cheese wedges, pitted olives, red grapes, a few crostini, and a drop of honey. For my entree, I ordered a filet mignon. It came with dollops of instant-like mashed potatoes and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. My friend ordered a filet as well but his was cooked more than the temp he ordered. Instead of medium, it came out well done... charred on the outside, no pink, and dry. Mine, on the other hand, was cooked perfectly even though mine was medium as well. Would I come back? Only for a special occasion perhaps. ‍
