    This is one of the local places we like to go. Food is always good. Our waitstaff was pleasant. Tonight, it took a long time for our meals to be delivered to the table. Also, the scallops seemed a bit pricey for what we got. I do understand prices have gone up on food everywhere. We will be back, as we generally are very happy here.

    Each and every time we have gone to The Coast Guard House we have had an Incredible meal. Consistently excellent. My wife had a special that included shrimp, lobster and scallops in a pasta with an assortment of flavors while I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese was loaded with lobster and totally filled me up. My wife also had plenty of the shrimp, scallops and lobster in her dish. We went to celebrate my wife's birthday and boy did we pick a beautiful night to go as the weather was around 60 and the sky was clear while the 3/4 moon was visible in the east sky. Daylight saving proved to be to our advantage as we had a spectacular ocean to view while the sun was lowering in the west leaving a great sunset show. We had the blood orange and cranberry sorbet for dessert which was a perfect ending to our meal. Our server Katie was very personable and attentive. This is by far RI BEST dining experience.
