ON THE WATER IN WARREN: WHARF TAVERN


The plan is to eat at every waterfront restaurant in Bristol, Warren, East Greenwich, etc. It looks, from the street, like Wharf Tavern (215 Water Street, Warren  401-289-2534) has an enviable view so we gave it a try. What's to say? First, what you think is an upstairs deck is not. The only deck space is a narrow band around the indoor restaurant (which has a Holiday Inn kind of look). We sat outside and it was a lovely night - setting sun, boats heading in and out, breezes. The menu is very long (red flag) and has chicken fingers as an option (not a good sign in my book). The mussels were served with a tiny bit of broth (which wasn't good and it's so easy to make delicious broth). The scallops and swordfish tasted the same, maybe because they were both topped with a garlicky butter before serving. Best not to describe the pale green broccoli.
