Thames Waterside And Grill - Bristol

Spent a very pleasant lunch here by the water. We weren't 100% certain the parking out front included spaces for the restaurant and not just for the hotel, but we weren't ticketed or towed, so I guess it was ok. Food was yummy with the standard offerings. Clam chowder was particularly delicious with lots of clam meat. Drinks were too pricey at $5 each for soda and I would stick with water next time. The setting really makes this place. Dining outside in covered area right next to the water with a beautiful view of the bay. Nice cool breeze runs through. Lots of boats to look at. There were also some chairs facing the water that looked inviting (but we stuck with our table). The bar was practically full even early afternoon on a weekday. Lots of smiling and chatting folks. I would recommend this place to travelers looking for a social spot for drinks or for a nice dinner by the water with friends.

Best dinner on vacation to RI this year! Huge lobster club sandwich was delicious, staff was amazing and live music was rocking. Small cloud (the band) was mighty! The view of the harbor was incredible and will absolutely return!

My husband and I had a nice night at the Waterside Bar and Grill last night. The staff was not overly friendly but efficient. The food was good but not great. Parking was limited but we were lucky and found a spot. My lobster roll was good, however my husband's shrimp scampi could have used a little more garlic and for $37 maybe a few more pieces of shrimp. However the view was fabulous, that is what you're paying for and we were there at sunset. Overall, it was a nice way to end our 26th wedding anniversary.

Beautiful location. Chicken Caesar wrap had good flavor but chicken was dry. Husband said his burger was good but didn't like the bun. Too many fries (personal preference). Waitress seemed to forget about us. Only got one soda refill (tons of ice in the glass so probably only 8oz or less of soda) and had to get up to pay after waiting for the bill. If we lived here we might try again as everyone has an off day, but we live 27 hours away so won't be back.

That was an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, the seats on the veranda had an incredible view of the port, and the food was top Notch. The bacon wrapped scallops were delicious and the honey garlic salmon was part of the best salmon I had, and I ordered salmon many places. Great experience
