The Lobster Pot is one of my favorite restaurants in Rhode Island.

Its location, right on the waterfront of a small cove in Narragansett Bay, is absolutely gorgeous. The cove typically has a few boats and sailboats moored about 50 to 100 yards from the restaurant creating a beautiful and scenic backdrop to watch the sunset as you enjoy your meal.

The food is good. The seafood is of excellent quality. Its namesake lobster dishes are fresh and well prepared.

Its wine list requires a little bit of work, but it has a few good options you can select from.

The service staff is nice, friendly, and helpful.

Prices are affordable.

We held our class reunion here recently. This is a great place for an event. The employees were friendly and the owner was amazing to deal with - very flexible and accommodating. The view is gorgeous and the food was delicious.

Our family was in the Lobstrer Pot on Sunday, celebrating father's day. The food was delicious, the service was very attentive and even the owner came to our table and asked if we are happy with everything, which I think is very rear. We are from New York and don't see this often. We felt like we are home.
And of course I have to mention their calamari- the best I ever ate.

I have not been for a few years - I was out of town - but this has always been one of my "go to" places when my budget allows, especially when impressing friends with the sunset view. I've also had some great times meeting people in the bar. And I'm going again tonight! ;)

Parking is a bit tight, the food is FANTASTIC and the service CANNOT be beat. The owners are personable, friendly, and very present. I was amazed at the friendliness of the other diners. Just a great evening!

A little pricey! A little bit of a drive to get there! But one of the best meals I've had in years! If you don't treat yourself every now and then, why even live!
