Dinner with a view? Don’t mind if we do! Summertime dining in Rhode Island is one of those pleasures we wait for anxiously during the colder months. Once the weather warms, our favorite seasonal restaurants reopen and year-round favorites open their outdoor dining spaces with a flourish. One of those spots is a lovely eatery featuring a gorgeous river patio where the scenery and the food are equally pleasing.
The Bridge Restaurant is perched over the Pawcatuck River in historic downtown Westerly. Housed in a converted wheelhouse, this cheerful eatery offers a scrumptious array of seafood and local cuisine.
