This restaurant is located in beautiful Bristol, R.I. There are outdoor tables to enjoy in good weather with a beautiful view. The atmosphere inside is charming as well. The menu is what I would call "enlightened" . There are many healthy choices and vegetables are beautifully prepared (which is a rarity at most places) The price range also has a... More

I went to Dewolf Tavern with my family on mother's day. We had previously called and tried to make a reservation, but were told we would not need one if we arrived by 9:30. Well when we did arrive at 9:30 we were turned away with another couple who had also called ahead. The manager told us that they could... More

What an exceptional find. Everything has a bit of an Indian twist - done superb ably. Lovely atmosphere in the upstairs dining room. Only issue was finding the place - very tucked away behind the inn.

On our 20th anniversary 4 of us dined at DeWolf's. It was the most luxuriously delicious meal that we've ever experienced. Lobster, steaks lots of vegetables home made cookies and home made ice cream for desert. For sure it is the most memorable-and Chef Sai visited our table so that we could express our gratitude. Summer time we visit the... More

sI've lived in the East Bay area of Rhode Island for most of my life and was raised in the neighboring town of Warren but had never been to Dewolf Tavern for whatever reason. I finally had a the opportunity to check it out last night. Every year during Newport and Providence Restaurant week I try to visit locations I've... More

This was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. Asked for appl juice they came back ten minutes later and said they were out. My husband... More

We took a chance one evening to drive into Bristol on a very foggy night for an early Sunday dinner. We had been there once before a couple fo years ago and remembered it to be good. But this was even better. The service was excellent and very attentive. The person was knowledgeable about the menu and checked often. But... More

One of the things my wife and I discovered when we moved to Rhode Island nine years ago was the fact that the East Bay abounds in wonderful eating places. For dinner our favorite is DeWolf Tavern in Bristol. On our last visit about three weeks ago we went with two other couples. The service was friendly and attentive, but... More
