An Incredible Dinner at Ocean House

I knew the food at Ocean House would be incredible, but I didn’t think it would be one of the best meals we’ve had on the East Coast. Here’s what we had for dinner at The Bistro within Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. After you see how delicious everything looked, you’ll want to book a visit, too!

Ambience of The Bistro

Our table by the window overlooked the Atlantic Ocean. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset, watch the waves, and dream about what lies beyond. As the sunset, the lights dropped, an oil candle on our table kept us company, and the comfortable chairs felt a lot cozier than I would’ve guessed at first glance. It was the perfect, intimate setting for a beautiful meal.

Our Meals

These portions were much bigger than we expected! There’s a reason the restaurant has such an outstanding reputation. Everything was gorgeously plated, perfectly paced, and each dish tasted even better than it looked.

The Verdict

This was one of the best meals we’ve had in all of New England. Each course impressed us more than the last, and that’s really saying something considering how fantastic everything was. If you want a real taste of New England Coastal American cuisine, The Bistro is the perfect introduction!
