Dalia — Restaurant in Westerly

What happened! When they opened a couple years ago, the food was excellent. Now it’s best described as cafeteria quality food. It feels as if someone came in looking for cost cutting measures and the result is an extremely disappointing restaurant that is far below the standards of the hotel it occupies.

The children’s meals were horrible. Poorly presented on tiny bread plates. Yes, bread plates! Just a couple small soft tortillas with rubbery chicken or beef dumped on top.

The jicama salad was soggy and overdressed. The cucumbers were almost translucent.

The guacamole, for over $20, was a paltry serving. It was served with too many chips on top — put it in a separate dish.

The chicken tacos were a couple heaps of shredded chicken mixed with some filler and topped with picked onion. It’s looked like dog food on a tortilla. They were finished with what appeared to be premade avocado paste.

This is all unfortunate given that the setting — facing the Atlantic — is gorgeous and the servers are warm and helpful.

The O.H.B.H salad sounded amazing but it was a plate full of arugula with a 1/4 cup of the vegetables. the salad description does not include arugula. Steak and burger over cooked. Salmon fishy. After apps, it was an hour and we still did not get main dishes. The waiter was never seen again after apps dropped off. We flagged down a bus boy and asked for our waiter. He said our meal should be coming soon. After 5 minutes, dinner came. The plates were very hot because they had been sitting under the heat lamp. When we left after dinner, I counted 11 plates with food under the heat lamp. A meal for 4 plus a bottle of wine and 3 drinks cost us about $800. What a terrible waste of money. We never...

Opened this summer---a few kinks to sort out. Water and utensils took a long time and 15 mins before our waiter showed up...but service after was attentive. This place has great ambience and wonderful views of the ocean. I think the reasonable pricing is reflected in the food which is ok but could be improved. Overall a great place for casual outdoor dining in a majestic setting. If you are using concierge parking the Ocean House charges $5 for the first 2 hours and $25 hourly thereafter, possibly an attempt to...
