    Food is always delicious. Service is great and the views are spectacular. These are a few pictures from a few years ago

    Another wonderful experience at the wharf. Their cocktails and mocktails continue to amaze me. They are beautiful and delicious! The food always impresses me too! We had a burrata board and asked for bread on the side since my bestie has a gluten allergy. They did that no problem! Our servers were amazing---friendly and attentive! We were so thankful to them. The restaurant was still decorated so stunningly for the holidays and I'm so glad we got to see it. Talk about beautiful! We'll be back soon for sure! One of our new fave spots!

    I'll visit The Wharf whenever they have their 2-1/2 lb. baked stuffed lobster special, as it's an amazing deal! Saturday was my first visit of 2026, but it won't be my last. Although the price fluctuates slightly during the promotion period, it's currently $59 and normally comes with roasted potatoes & green beans. However, this time I asked if any other sides were available and was told I could have a salad instead. I chose the Caesar salad, which was cold, crisp, perfectly dressed and absolutely delicious. The lobster itself was incredible... sweet, tender and stuffed with lobster tail meat and a buttery Ritz cracker topping. I had enough leftover for 2 additional meals at home. I also enjoyed a nice Riesling with my tablemates, and indulged in a DIY Affogato for dessert; I ordered a scoop of vanilla ice cream and an Espresso and voila! Our server was outstanding and the views, inside and out, were gorgeous. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Welcome to The Wharf!

    Snowy day + Waterfront restaurant = Rhode Island vibes. The Wharf in Warren absolutely delivered! Hubby & I kicked off the luncheon with a perfect dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. Our dining companions opted for a lovely white wine & a white sangria. I am a lobster snob - I prefer a whole lobster steamed. So I selected the Wharf Burger (which is only available at lunch). Black angus beef, American cheese, bacon, caramelized onion & sautéed mushrooms on a potato bun. It was delicious. French fries were perfection! The star of the show? The 2 lb stuffed lobster special. And yes, it was every bit as over-the-top amazing as it sounds! Huge, perfectly cooked & generously stuffed without overpowering the sweet lobster meat. Total comfort food meets classic New England indulgence. (Even I have to admit, it was awesome!) Our dining companions are return diners for this delicious special & one opted to exchange the veggie/potato side for the Caesar salad. It was a ginormous portion but sooo delicious - crisp romaine, great dressing balance (not too heavy, not bland) & the kind of simple-but-done-right salad that complements the whole meal. One of our dining companions opted for a self-made affogato as her dessert - order vanilla ice cream & an espresso. Drizzle the hot beverage over the cold ice cream. Delightful! Between the food, drinks & cozy atmosphere while the snow fell outside, this was one of those "why we love living here" dining experiences. The Wharf is definitely the spot when you want classic seafood, solid cocktails & that laid-back coastal New England feel - even in the middle of winter! Hubby is already planning a return visit while the 2-pound stuffed lobster is still on special! NOM NOM NOM #YUM

    According to Yelp, I'm officially becoming a regular at The Wharf in Warren... and honestly, how could I not? The waterfront location is beautiful, the space is always perfectly decorated for the season and the drinks never disappoint. A friend and I stopped in to try the seasonal offerings and loved everything from the cocktails to the mocktails. My personal favorite was the Christmas Margarita (so good). We also shared the burrata board and, not to be dramatic, but I could have licked the board clean just to make sure none of that pesto or balsamic went to waste. Before heading out, we ran into a friend, chatted, snapped a few more photos and were treated to the most beautiful cotton-candy sunset. A perfect way to end the evening. The Wharf continues to be one of my favorite spots, and I'll absolutely be back again soon.

    The food was so good and the views while sitting at the bar are beautiful especially at around 5pm when the sun starts to set. The service is great and I have not stopped thinking about the Wharf Lemonade.

    What an amazing find! Had a friend and his wife visiting from out of town and offered a list of venues for us to meet. He chose The Wharf. We had a wonderful time sitting the deck and enjoyed the fresh air and the service (Olivia) ever right on the Warren waterfront. Truly a gem that I will return to and do not miss this as I had for many years

    Cotton candy for a sweet treat at the end of the meal.

    We met friends for dinner and the setting was beautiful...right on the river with lots of parking and a very ample dining area. Our server was very nice and friendly....we enjoyed her service. I got the Asian Thai Salad and it was large and fresh...really good salad. My husband got the chicken parm with linguini and it was really good....nice sauce. We also got a half bottle of a Pinot Noir and it was delicious. At the end of the meal, our server brought a complementary cotton candy for the entire table...sweet way to end a good meal....Great place for a meal....great service.....

    I have lived in Warren down the street from The Wharf for over a year and this was my first time finally trying the place. We went on a busy Saturday for lunch ( because their lunch menu is much better than their dinner one, with more options) . We had a group of 7 and we were told it was going to be 45 minutes, and that we could go up to the deck/ rooftop bar for a drink. We actually found a whole couch and relaxed in the sun with drinks for 45 minutes with live music. I really enjoyed the views, the drinks were not great but there was two bartenders and a packed deck so I think that was the fault of staffing issues. We ate inside in the dining room, near the bar. The waitress was funny and very helpful/ attentive. Everyone in my group enjoyed their food. I would absolutely return, and I hope in the future they add some of their lunch menu to the dinner menu.

    Delicious seaside restaurant. The octopus shot set up was a cool way to keep up with the nautical theme. The pumpkin ravioli was delicious and the bacon gave it a good salty contrast to the sweet ravioli. The riccotta gnocchi was so soft and melted in your mouth. The chocolate chip cookie cake slice a la mode was very indulgent and hit the spot. The menu does change with seasons - so check in advance if you're expecting to try something! Service was okay - the waitress seemed rushed and was a bit short in the beginning of the night, and later apologized.

    Bywater is a highly popular restaurant that has the notoriety of being a James Beard semi finalist…read more We were very much looking forward to an excellent dinner with the family. They have a daily menu, and I've had some friends suggest this place as their favorite restaurant. We parked blocks away due to the lack of adequate parking. Once we walked in, we were greeted with pleasant smiles from the staff. The menu was short, which we attributed to a focus on quality. We ordered a French onion dip and a littleneck entree as an app for the table. We were served with lukewarm water, neither cold nor hot. The apostle John might have been somewhat disappointed (Rev 3:16). The dip was decent but was somewhat lacking in great onion flavor. But nothing to complain about. The little necks were served in a small bowl and lacked a bit of salt. Rather pricey for $26, but this place charges $6 just for bread and butter, so maybe it's just inflation? Enter the entrees. They apparently were short on chicken legs so they asked to substitute chicken breast. Two of us got burgers. First the $20 burgers, which were served with an aioli with no offer of ketchup or other condiments. In short, both burgers were terrible. Far worse than we make at home. It's always a disappointment when you realize you're paying all this extra for food you can make better at home. The buns were shockingly flat, like someone smashed them by hand. Or in a McDonald's box. Come to think of it, the flavor was similar, though overall the hamburger was somewhat bitter, salty and lacked an appetizing flavor. Wow. We all agreed they were terrible. The fries were also burnt and over salted. My daughter quit on her $30 chicken, so I tried it. The sauce wasn't bad, and it was served with a decent brocollini. But the chicken was some of the driest I've had in a restaurant, with no crisp skin and a uniformly poor texture. No wonder no one finished their entrees. And I hate wasting food. So, as much as we would have wanted to give this place a great rating, we just won't be back. The service, although with a smile, was slow and terrible. Our candle burnt out in the middle of dinner. It was never relit. Our glasses were empty halfway through dinner. No refills on the tepid water. The entrees took an hour and a half before they came out (we were warned the chicken could take 30 min). Generally a very disappointing experience. Hard to explain the rave reviews but our Saturday dinner was a sad bust. The cold wet madeleines they provided in a doggie bag didn't do anything to help. Oh well. Hope y'all have a better experience if you go here.

    Bywater, we will be back!…read more Warren, RI has some great restaurants and I was surprised since I don't frequent this area much. But after this past weekend, I know I want to come back. We were having a lovely dinner in Warren and stopped into Bywater for a quick after-dinner drink. It was a bit cooler out but since they had no seats in the extremely limited bar area, we took the plunge and sat outside near their fire pits. They did not have many wines to choose from BTG which was disappointing. The one I had which was Cinsault was just ok. I had to dump out most of it since I did not enjoy it but that was my fault since sampling it I thought I liked it. My friend had the bartender make her a cocktail with grapefruit since they did not have pineapple. She was looking for a French martini but seemed to enjoy what they made her. My husband's espresso martini was very good I thought and light but could've used some bailey's. We already had dessert so we did not plan on anything else but I know I am interested in returning for dinner. The restaurant is very small inside but I loved the warm lights and decor. It was a very sexy and attractive vibe! If you are ever in Warren I highly recommend coming here for either drinks, dinner, or both. Dress warm if you plan on heading outside to sit near the fire...it does not give off that much heat! Cheers!

    We stopped in during Appy Hour for some appetizers and cocktails, which is our go to at Waterdog…read more They have a great app selection and it rarely disappoints. We ordered the mini stuffies, the hummus plate, and the fried pickles. The mini stuffies were a highlight. Loaded with Mello's chouriço and packed with flavor, they're a solid little bite. My grandfather set the bar pretty high for me on stuffies, and these came close. They have a different profile than what I grew up with; a little less bready, more chouriço forward, and the clam flavor takes a back seat. Not necessarily a complaint, they were just different from what I'm used to and were genuinely tasty. The lemon aioli on top was also a nice touch. The fried pickles were exactly what you want them to be. Crispy, well fried, and the breading actually stayed put while you ate them, which is more than I can say for a lot of fried pickles. They came with the same lemon aioli as the stuffies, which worked just as well here. The hummus plate was a bit of a letdown. We've had it many times before and it used to be a standout. This time the hummus itself was thick and pretty flavorless, more like a dense chickpea paste than anything else. The accompaniments were nice though and consisted of heirloom carrots, cucumbers, olives, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, pickled cauliflower, carrot, and a pepperoncini, all served alongside some buttery round crackers that were like a Ritz cracker's more refined cousin. The veggies saved the plate, but the hummus needs to find its way back. I suppose it could have just been an off batch and won't prevent us from trying it again. Cocktails were great, as usual. I had the Anana with scotch. I love pineapple and this has muddled pineapple and basil, pineapple juice, cracked black pepper. It's my go-to here and it delivered again. My partner went adventurous and ordered the Jungle Booby, which is built around tequila blanco and mezcal with campari, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, orgeat, and an absinthe spritz. The flavors were genuinely good, but the smokiness from the mezcal was a bit much for her taste. She followed it up with a glass of rosé and had no complaints after that. The cocktail wasn't the problem, it just wasn't her style. One of our favorite spots in Warren for a quick nibble, for a good reason.
