Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

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.

Three of the four of us ordered the steak frites. The steak was good but the French fries were room temperature. This was also tru of the fish & chips. We ate in the canopied terrace and the room was uncomfortably cold, so much so the waitstaff offered blankets to our wives. Ronda, our server did an excellent job. She was fastidious in serving us promptly and responding quickly to our requests.
