Shelter Harbor Inn's Restaurant — Restaurant in Westerly

I really want to focus my review on the food. I was told by the waitress that the call Mary was only “very lightly breaded”- when it came to the table it was crusted in very thick breading. There was supposed to be roasted garlic in the preparation (as per the menu’s description) The heavily breaded calamari had jarred banana peppers thrown on top. It was mostly all tentacles, heavily encrusted in tasteless heavy breading. It was not at all what I was expecting; and wished when I’d asked our waitress; she’d been truthful with me. Onto the shrimp and grits. The peppers were so crudely chopped- it looked like they were chopped my a five year old with a butte knife.

This place is perfect for a date night, girls night any kind of...

Farmhouse Kitchen + Bar is a sensational experience! The vibe is fine dining meets cozy New England elegance. The chef thoughtfully adds new seasonal items to the menu. The steamed mussels + crispy cauliflower were delightful. Kathleen, our waitress was the best ever! She was so welcoming, attentive, endearing, & knowledgeable of every dish on the menu or drink on the cocktail list. Please note, my family & I were not hotel guests, yet all of the staff provided 5 star service and were beyond courteous. The food is amazing but the staff are salt of the earth people which making dining out so much...
