My partners and I attended last Saturday for dinner. The service was inviting and friendly. Free refills of iced tea were a plus. Scallops are served with delicate sauces of wine, broth, cream, and spices. Fried whole belly clams are a must. Crabcake presentation was ample and generous, complete with greens and a mini salad. Sauce for the crabcake was scrumptious. The prime rib from the surf and turf combination was extraordinary.Ambient noise is loud. Acoustics are not perfect.

Went to Square Peg after this restaurant was recommenced to us by many friends. We took our four kids for lunch on September 8th. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and we were really looking forward to it. Our bad experience started with the hostess. She was unwelcoming and mostly silent. I was confused why the restaurant even had her there as she said virtually nothing to us. Six people just walked into your restaurant and are standing in front of you waiting for a table and not even a âhello, how are you doing today?â came from her mouth. The waitress who came to our table first was pleasant enough. Took our drink order and brought out some fried pickles. We ordered our entrees and were mostly happy at that point. But then our food never arrived. And the waitress never checked on us for drink refills or to provide any updates on our food. It was like the twilight zone. My kids were behaving really well and I finally had to walk them down the street as they were getting anxious and were hungry. Three separate walks later and over 60 minutes of wait time and still no food or updates. Finally my wife and I both went up to the register near the kitchen to inquire about our food and was told it would not be that much longer. At that point the kids were not interested in sitting down and we were past hungry, more upset at this point. It would have been a mildly better experience had the waitress checked on us once in an hour, but that didnât happen. We paid for what drinks and food we consumed and politely left the restaurant. I canât imagine that this place will stay in business as anything more than a bar with experiences like this one. Itâs too bad as itâs a pretty neat place in a cool location. I hope the owners are made aware of their service issues so they can improve. We, however, wonât be going back.

We are frequent customers at the Wave. It's a fun spot that our kids seem to be begging to revisit weekly. The new menu of the former "pizza wave" is much more than just pizza. Our kids love the kids options while my husband and I never have a problem selecting a healthy and always delicious entree. The wave in Bristol is the perfect spot for everyone in the family!

My husband and I were impressed with the food, great blend of textures and flavors especially in the nachos. The chowder and French onion soup were delicious. I also ordered the ahi tuna appetizer, which had a very nice presentation.I recommend sitting on the patio if you enjoy a sunset, that will be right over the harbor across the street. There is minimal parking in front of the restaurant but you could find a spot down the street or on a side street.

Hunting for a place to get a quick quality lunch seems to be my workday standard. After asking a client where to go, he recommended this bar as having good quality meals at reasonable prices. I tried it and found his recommendation to be on target. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken sandwich served with fries and it was very good. This establishment is a local bar, nothing fancy, but serves decent meals.

Went here on a Sunday morning because another nearby brunch place was packed and we ended up being thankful we had to find this place. Great brunch. Also, my wife has some dietary restrictions and could only really have one thing on the menu, so the chef cooked something special for her as a courtesy. Attentive waitress. Cute decor. Not crowded.

Saturday evening dinner on the deck, nice atmosphere with a view. Our server Polly seemed to be a little overwhelmed and had a little difficulty handling her tables. Cocktails - Served in a timely manor, just okay because the red wine had either fruit or drain flies in it.Appetizer - Ordered the smelts fo the table, perfectly done and tasty.Main Meal - Fish overcooked, side of green beans came out cold and looked as shriveled as a 90 year old lady in a bathtub. Ordered fried clams because Polly stated there were a lot on an order; informed her didnt want the fires so could I have the spinach instead, she replied yes but there is an up-charge (wait for it). Order of fried clams come minus the fries as ordered and (ARE YOU KIDDING ME) 12 fried clams on the small size ($24.00!!) it gets better. The other plates ordered sweet potatoes for their side and they get a small sweet potato cut in half. This is where it gets better, bill comes and I see the up-charge for the spinach that was literally the size of two table spoons. (it was good though) $4.50!!! thats not an up-charge thats full price on the menu. I minus the fries and they still charge me full price.Table next to us ordered the steamed little necks and they sent them back because they "didn't taste or smell well" and no manger ever came to the table to check why. I am going to blame that on the waitress probably never told anyone.overall, everyone can have a bad night so I would probably try again but it wouldn't be for a long time. And I would not order an up-charge!Hi Fred,We are always looking to improve and thank you sincerely for your feedback. You are absolutely correct that our service was a little overwhelmed that evening - it was one of our first busy nights of the summer season and we had several newer servers working. It takes a little time for them to adjust and they will surely improve even within a weekâs time. Please come back and try us again - we have a stellar reputation with the local community for consistently excellent food and great service. The food the table sent back next to you was the only food I had to comp the entire night - it is actually an extreme rarity at our restaurant! Our ingredients are always fresh and locally sourced, and we pride ourselves on this. We also understand that we cannot please everyone, and when that happens we will do what we can to make things right and have the customer leave happy! Let us know what we can do next time to earn your 5-bubble review. Mandy DionDining Room & Beverage [email protected](401) 253-2884

Looking for a quick bite after a long day. Figured this spot would be easy and casual compared to the nicer spots in town. Had more of PUB/ bar atmosphere, super loud so minimal conversation with my group. Only bottom floor was open but server took forever. Came for a burger but really not many options. None of us were impressed. My BBQ flatbread tasted like a wet towel. No thanks...

We enjoyed an assortment of draft and bottled libations. I'd skip the appetizers though, they were disappointing.
