The Bistro

The closest place to a Michelin star restaurant in RI at the beautiful Ocean House. Oysters, Steak Tartar, Beet Salad, Lobster Rigatoni was great. The service at the bar was perfect.

Bad Service bad taste…so many sorrys (Not only at our table) but not enough for that bad experience.

We almost never made it here. We were able to make a 2:30 reservation and even were told we would be accommodated when I called to notify we were running a little late. We literally took 5 minute showers after a long 5+ mile hike and drove there as quickly as possible to make it by 2:45. Once we arrived we were told we were out of luck and we're misinformed and kind of went on without offering a solution or options or apology. I was gracious and asked the hostess to explain now what? So Christos was able to get us a table for 5:30 and after much debate in the car as to whether we should still dine here, we decided we. So not a great start but we made the most of it. Lesson learned, don't book a table for 2:30! Onwards. Lovely setting that is classic and traditional yet not stale or stuffy. Gorgeous ocean view backdrop in select seating. NY strip was the disappointment; way too gristly and tough to chew. Had steak two nights previously in 2 different Mystic restaurants with notable chefs and this was disappointing after we became accustomed to this standard. Had to listen to my husband complain all night about us not sending back a $40 tough piece of meat! Loved that gluten free rolls were offered to me! I'm celiac and this was a first. Salmon tartare was excellent. Drinks were good. The view and ambiance are worth going for at least drinks and small plates. Our servers Ian and JJ and Christo the host were wonderful and fun.
