It's been awhile since we've been to The District and it was wonderful to see nothing has changed. The owner, Jen, is absolutely amazing, the food was delicious, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere and entertainment was over the top fabulous! Best vibes around!

Excellent dinner with 3 others. Seafood Cioppino and Scallops were the prime courses chosen by the group. The raw oysters (from Narragansett, not the local Great Salt Pond) were very good, and moderate brine. French 75 cocktail was excellent, but the famous Blackberry Martini was lacking…tasted like straight vodka with coarsely puréed blackberries. No sweetness nor lime twang of the famous Riker concoction of years ago. Needed some tweaking. Had the martinis been like before, easily a 5 star dinner. Server Sydney was excellent!

An absolute dream to come to Ocean House and enjoy the fabulous brunch. From the bottomless raw bar and charcuterie, mimosas, crepes, desserts, and menu items, we were blown away by a lovely experience. I have recommended it to all my Rhode Island friends. Also, Taylor Swifts house is only 3 houses away and you can see it from Ocean House very easily (we aren’t massive fans but enjoy her music, so it was fun to see!). Do yourself a favor and go enjoy the jazz brunch on a day with beautiful weather and savor the moment! Truly a dolce vita!

Perfect for a catch up date , we had dinner low light and quiet chill vibe. We had the Cajun fries , Korean Chicken Lollipops , Bourbon + Coffee Braised Short Ribs. The survivor mocktail was delish and our server Brian was so nice.

Unexpected gem on the rivers of the quaint Providence town. Portions were unexpectedly large, and the food was just delicious. Only made better by great bartender… Absolutely will patronize the river bistro in the future.
