We arrived at 2 pm and asked for Kyle and we were told he no longer worked there. We were…read moredisappointed because the many times he has waited on us he was exceptional and always went above and beyond. We don't know why he left but what an asset to let go. Being in the business for many years he was definitely a gem. The hostess was pleasant and accommodating. Our first time waitress Bonnie was cordial and did a wonderful job from start to finish. The Absolute Martini straight up was just the way I like it and a big thank you to the bartender. I ordered the infused pepper burger with horseradish and onion rings and my spouse ordered the breakfast burger with an egg on top of it. The cooks back there nailed it as they usually do. The noise continued and I saw the manager or walk out from the kitchen. I looked up and gave him a nod but I wasn't acknowledged. He sat in the upper deck eating his meal while the noise continued to annoy not only us but the people in the next booth who said they complained more than once. We've seen this manager more than once and he never smiles and looks like he's unhappy and he never says hello. That may be just the way he is but it doesn't look good. A party of 2 came in that were only there for 15 minutes and we are not sure if they ordered anything or couldn't take the noise. We were offered dessert from Bonnie and declined because of the noise.

In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

I was looking for something to eat while visiting Rhode Island for work and found The Shanty on…read moreYelp. I arrived around just after 5 and sat at the bar. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but there was a steady crowd. People were either dining in or picking up to-go orders. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, so there are plenty of areas to dine. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I decided to go with the seared salmon, Brussels sprouts, and corn risotto. Thankfully, it wasn't much of a wait because I was hungry. My food came out fresh and hot. Everything was really delicious. My only complaint was there were a few flies swarming around me, which made my dining experience less enjoyable. I spent most of my time trying to swat them away. The bartender even moved me to another spot, but they still followed me. While I really enjoyed my food and the service, it might be a good idea for them to invest in small table fans to keep the flies away. Otherwise, my food was tasty, and the service was great!

Waitresses are super friendly. The bartender Lori was absolutely awesome. Friendly atmosphere.

They were good reviews so we decided to give the place a shot. One of the worst dining experiences…read moreI've had in a long time. We were there right at 4 o'clock one of the first to enter. Bartender seating people had a terrible attitude. Talked to patrons like they were children. Ordered a lemon meringue martini. Thought it tasted an awful lot like pineapple. Bartender asked me if it was "ok". I just said yes because I didn't feel like complaining. Afterwards, I heard her telling somebody at the bar that she forgot to put lemon in it. She forgot to put lemon in the lemon meringue martini. Must be why it tasted like pineapple. We ordered stuffy's, which took forever to come out as we watch everybody else that came after us get their appetizers. Probably waited a half hour to even put our order and we had to repeatedly ask staff for everything because nobody would come over to the table. I got fish and chips. My husband got a veal Parm sandwich. The food was good, but the tartar sauce tasted oddly like nutmeg or cinnamon. Sat waited and waited and waited. Finally asked for our bill only to get someone else's bill and have to go back up to ask for our bill. I guess the locals must like this place but we did not... definitely a one and done for us.

Since I have been back,…read moreI haven't really found anything comparable in quality and taste (not bad but missing the mark). Thai Accent is the best Thai I have had in RI. Do not let the place's appearance from the outside dissuade you. The food is amazing. Have had the hot basil fried rice, basil chicken, drunken noodles and massaman curry - all great. Staff is super nice. Word of warning - be careful if you specifically request 4 or 5 pepper spicy. It's hot!!! Their normal preparation is about average heat. You can also order mild.

Its skin had soft rice-flour dough like consistency unlike more robust curry puffs. Fillings (chicken, potato, carrot, onion) were minimal and very ordinary. Khao Soi came in separate containers for noodles (with egg, green mustard pickles, onion, scallion and cilantro) and curry. This keeps the noodles fresh during transit. Two kinds of noodles (round, flat) were in the container. Both slightly wavy, light yellow, semi-thick, chewy with impeccable al denteness. Coconut curry was thick, well-seasoned and completely fulfilling. For the protein option, we chose Crispy Pork Belly. This sat in its own compartment on top of the noodles that can be lifted up. The belly was beautifully crisped, with well-rendered fat and had almost too much crispiness. The result is slightly tough texture with a could be, but less than satisfying bite. The lady at pickup was friendly and we were impressed with how everything was packaged perfectly.

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant is a casual Italian chain located in the Warwick and Attleboro area…read morethat focuses on familiar comfort-style dishes in a family-friendly setting. We walked into a clean dining room with booth seating and a steady flow of families and groups coming in throughout the day, the kind of space that feels straightforward and consistent with what you would expect from a large chain restaurant. It is not designed to feel elevated or experimental, but more like a reliable sit-down option for classic Italian-American food. The biggest part of the experience here is the standard menu items that most people already know. Dishes like chicken parm, fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp scampi, and pasta combinations are the core of the menu, along with their well-known breadsticks and salad service. Portions are generous, and the food is generally consistent, which makes it feel more about quantity and familiarity than innovation or standout culinary detail. The breadsticks and salad were the most memorable part of the meal for us, especially since they came out fresh and warm, and the pasta dishes tended to be heavy and straightforward, with creamy sauces and simple seasoning profiles. It worked best for what we were in the mood for, comfort food rather than anything highly refined or unique. Service varied depending on how busy the location was, but the general setup felt efficient and structured for high volume dining. It was the kind of place where we could get seated, order, and eat without much complication, and the pacing stayed predictable. During peak times, things slowed down a bit, but overall the experience remained fairly easy and low friction. The staff kept the breadsticks and salad coming without having to ask, and the dining room stayed comfortable even when it filled up. Olive Garden is solid for what it is. It is not the best Italian food in terms of flavor complexity or execution, but it works well when we are looking for something familiar, filling, and consistent. It delivers a dependable meal that feels both satisfying and easy to come back to when we want a casual sit-down dinner without overthinking the choice.

Last time that we did manage to get thru the front door, they apologized for not servicing us for over an hour, "they sat you in the wrong section. I didn't know you were mine". Can't get a refill of "endless soup" before pushing my entree out. Definitely declined in quantity.

She, a blood orange sangria and me, a cranberry sangria. Both delicious and a good size. The bread was okay and came with a dish of garlic oil. The server was friendly and attentive - I already forgot his name so I'm sorry! I ordered a special, Pork Napoleon which was delicious and I definitely made the right choice. She ordered butternut squash ravioli which she really liked as well. I felt the pink vodka sauce on my dish was a bit bland and the pasta tasted no different than a box of prince penne but the entree really was scrumptious. I'd definitely go back and order it again! Dessert was offered but I was just too full. She ordered a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie to go. The place is quaint and rustic. Bathrooms were really neat and spotless. We'll be back!
