Way back in 1975, the Sail Loft lit the fire for Steve Silverstein, who went on to open nearly 40 restaurants. Located in the quintessential seaside village of Padanaram, it was the neighborhood place where you could get a good (strong) drink, chef prepared comfort food and relax in a convivial atmosphere with familiar faces. The Sail Loft was everyone’s favorite place; it was a hangout where some came for food and others for drink.

When the Sail Loft became available in 2021, Steve jumped on the opportunity to take the wheel. Steve and his wife Judy transformed the Sail Loft into an elevated neighborhood restaurant with a distinct updated boatyard feel. The spot is nautical with a chef-driven yet approachable menu, a deep selection of spirts and an intriguing wine list. As with all of Silverstein’s places, while the food, drink and design are always top-notch, it is the warm hospitality that keeps ‘em coming back.

Sail Loft is a gem! It’s nautical cozy with great service, great food, and generous servings. The mussels and calamari were fantastic. The giant shrimp were … well … giant. Best of all, the service was fast and very friendly. We’ll be back!

We were seated in the heated patio on a sunny, cold afternoon. The room was plenty warm and quieter than the main dining area. The chairs were cold but our server, Kayley brought us blankets to sit on! It made all the difference and we enjoyed a leisurely lunch. The food was served hot and perfectly prepared. Well done and Kayley was extremely nice and efficient! We will most certainly return.

Linda, We are glad to hear you had such a cozy holiday lunch with us. We'll be sure to let Kayley know she did a great job and appreciate your kind words.

Love the Sail Loft. We live 5 min away so we go alot. The food is always amazing, the waiters super friendly, the ambiance is inviting. Gingerbread Martini was so good! The only thing I dislike is how close the tables are in the dining room area and Im only sharing this so you know to ask for outside dining area which is heated or a booth if you are like me and like your space. Ive always sat at the bar or outside patio so tonight was first time in dining room and I prob won’t sit there again if I can help it. I felt like I was having dinner with the people on both sides of me, it was a little awkward. Other than this I will always go back to Sail Loft (just not their dining room lol) Try the Lobster Rangoons!!!!

Thank you for your feedback Jessica. We want for all our guests to feel comfortable no matter where they sit- so we appreciate the dining room comments and will work on improving the spacing. Glad you love the rangoon- they are a guest favorite!
