We love to sit at the bar and have a drink and food. Service is very attentive and the food is excellent. I particularly enjoy the charred Caesar salad, it’s a delicious mix of flavors! We are looking forward to our next meal at the Cafe! We wish you were open on Monday nights !

Nice atmosphere and the service was excellent. We had the duck dumplings, deviled eggs and the tuna for appetizers. For the entree we had the scallops and venison special. It was delicious and the ingredients were fresh. Look forward to coming back!

The downtown Westerly food scene has truly become a destination, and this place is a home run. I only wish they had more entree sized plates to choose from, but everything I've ever tried is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a very friendly staff.

We went here for brunch with friends and truly loved it! The service was excellent - attentive staff, but we never felt rushed throughout our dining experience. Highly recommend the brioche French toast and the coconut cream pie dessert!

I've been meaning to write this review since I ate at The Cafe on Oct. 16. I was spending the day meandering around Watch Hill and Westerly and really just wandered into The Cafe on a whim. Steve Corrigan was doing hosting duties and showed me the menu, which looked promising. Cut to the chase: The food was great (yummy bacon burger with fries) and the beer was local, cold and delicious. The service was super and everyone was friendly and welcoming. If I lived in Westerly, or anywhere in southern Rhode Island, I'd be here all the time. It would be fun to sit at that huge bar and chat with friends over a drink. The Cafe is part of an arts complex that includes the United Theatre next door (three screens), a gallery and a performance rehearsal space downstairs. Rhode Island's NPR network has a small studio there also. It's an impressive arts center that is helping to give downtown Westerly a boost. It was fun talking to Steve about everything that is going on here and getting a tour. Thanks! Highly recommended!

What a delight! The food was outstanding. The service incredible. The ambiance...well, the pics show our table in front of the oversized lit stone fireplace. A piece of Heaven in little Westerly!! Highly recommend...it's where the Twisted Vine was. Miso Cod, Ribeye, Charcuterie board, Spinach salad...awesome!

Chicken sandwich was to die for. So delicious! The burger was good but I regretted not ordering the chicken once I had a bite of my husbands. The drinks were also so good! The oysters were perfect. Our waitress Macy was also very attentive and sweet. Great lunch experience!
