My husband and were in the area and got last minutes reservations for a Friday night in January. The ambiance is very nice. We sat on the second floor where there are big windows overlooking the water. It was dark out, but I imagine it's quite lovely in the day time. The pan roast is their signature dish. I highly recommend. It's quite flavorful. The cosmo was made perfectly. There were quite a few dishes on the menu I'd like to try so we'll definitely be back.

Just one of the best restaurants in the state. The view, the restaurant decor, the service, and of course, the food always make for an inviting experience. Dropped in for lunch with friends and everything was perfect. The French onion soup is one of the best in the state. It has taste and a kick to it... most restaurants make it very basic and flavorless. The frontega chicken panini was superb- flavor in every bite. Emily was our delightful server and made it a most excellent experience.

What a gem of a spot, greeted by the host and taken upstairs to enjoy lunch with a lovely view. Morgan was our server and she was excellent. We enjoyed the French dip and short rib melt, sandwiches were delicious. Our truffle Parmesan fries were also great. The view was amazing and service exceptional. Can't wait to go back!

My husband and I tried this place for the first time for date night and it was so worth it. The restaurant is right on the water with an amazing view. Our server Megan was in training and she was very pleasant and attentive. I had the Short rib bolognese and my husband had the pecan salmon which I will get next time we go. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were great size. So glad we finally got to eat here and we'll definitely be back.

Overall our dinner was delicious! Drinks were great, we got the pear martini and grapefruit martini. Bread and butter was delicious but you pay extra for additional rolls, which is ridiculous. Our food was delicious! We got the burger and bolognese. Restaurant is super cute. We sat outside with cover and heaters which was lovely. The only thing was service was a little slow but super friendly. We recommend and will return!

My friend and I lunch here earlier today. First visit for us both. Exceptional experience: 11:45 am arrival allowed us to beat the Noon+ crowd. We sat outside adjacent to the dock. Enthralling views of the waterway and boats of all types and dimensions. We started with drinks: flavorful, eye catching, and inventive. Then to Gazpacho soup, salad, mussels, lobster, and crab cakes. Each item was remarkable for texture, flavor, and appearance. Dessert was a multi-tiered strawberry shortcake that did not disappoint! Great coffees too. Service was also memorable. Our waitress made our dining experience memorable, too. (In her spare cycles she was making drinks at the outdoor bar.) One Small Caution: Parking gets tight (shared with at least one other establishment) and the crushed seashell lot has major divots (to slow us down, I presume.) We found a spot and there's free on-street parking a short distance.

I came here today as a second last hoorah before a major surgery tomorrow. Last night at another restaurant unfortunately went terribly so I wanted to make up for it. My visit to Trafford today with a friend really hit the spot! The hostess found our reservation and asked our preference on seating. It was a breath of fresh air and we were able to get seats right on the deck overlooking the beautiful water and scenery. We ordered some appetizers. We started with the scallops with bacon that were delicious! The corn puree and maple glaze really made the dish pop! It was an absolute MUST try! You can tell the scallops were fresh! The crab cakes were great and the corn topping on them made them even better! Normally I request extra sauce but these didn't need anything added to make them delicious! The Ahi tuna appetizer was incredibly. The temp and flavor was PERFECT! Our calamari was good but I only ordered it because the menu states that it includes rings and tentacles which is very rare to come by in Rhode Island. The sauce was good but there were absolutely no tentacles which was rather disappointing. This was my least favorite because I was really looking forward to the tentacles (my favorite part). We split a Wagyu Australian strip that was good. The edges were super fatty but it was overall good. It was cooked to temp throughout. I wouldn't say it was the best wagyu I've ever had but it was very well seasoned and great compared to a lot of other local spots that sell Wagyu. It was certainly worthy of the price though! The dish overall was great once cutting the fat off. I would probably order it again cause for a steak it had great flavor and the cooks definitely know how to season things like a champ (which is shockingly rare these days). Our server was great. My friend's drinks were perfect. I had ordered a Chandon split with a side of oj which was served with ice? But after picking the ice out I was able to make my mimosa like I prefer since ordering a mimosa never guarantees the champagne/OJ ratio for for one's preference. Overall, that's nothing to care about when she was so attentive in many ways that so many other establishment lack. You can truly tell she cares! She was above and beyond friendly and helpful and that's what matters. Both of the hostesses were wonderful and very friendly. I would 100% come back here in a heartbeat. This is my second time at this establishment. I probably won't order the calamari again but otherwise everything was delicious! I took one star off just for false advertisement when it came to the calamari. I believe that the restaurant should update their menu if the appetizer doesn't include the ingredients stated in the future. The remainder of our experience was great though. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to friends and family going forward.
