We all have our favorite restaurants that are easy to get to and give us what we expect, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes though, you find yourself wanting to step out of your comfort zone and go somewhere that you might not be as familiar with. Luckily, Rhode Island has a lot of hidden gem restaurants waiting off the beaten path to be discovered. One of those restaurants is the utterly spectacular Crows Nest Restaurant.

The Crows Nest has changed hands over the years a couple of times, but it has been a restaurant holding the same name since the mid sixties, meaning there’s some real history here.

There is also a full bar with lots of options to start, end, or compliment your meal. Or you can just pop by for a quick drink with a great view if you’d like.
