Winfield's - BLOCK ISLAND

Favorite restaurant on the island for my partner and me for over 25 years. The food never disappoints and it’s worth going just to experience the warm bread and garlic butter. Similar to other restaurants on the island, service was disappointing. We were a table of 9 squeezed into a corner. We ordered drinks and food when we sat and never saw the waiter again. We would have liked to have ordered a second round of drinks or would have settled for water refills but couldn’t get anyone’s attention. We finally had to request, and received, water refills when we got the check. We ordered steaks, fish, and chicken but no knives were provided so we all shared the three butter knives still on the table. All in all, while the food was excellent, my party would rather have been at a restaurant with a view and better service while on vacation. We’ll be back next year but I won’t be bringing friends as none of them were impressed…

Great service and food was delicious. Loved the steak and salmon.

Significantly better food than most other restaurants in the area. It’s nice, but not “fancy” or pretentious. Worth a visit if you’re tired of the many laid back, ultra-casual spots. The menu features a lot of seafood, and I had the swordfish. It was one of the most masterfully cooked pieces of fish I’ve ever had, which is even more impressive for such a lean cut. For dessert, our table split both the bread pudding and shortcake; both of which were incredibly underwhelming and not worth ordering. As for drinks, the cocktail I had (the paper plane) was not strained at all, though I doubt it would have been much better if it had been. Service was excellent and without fault throughout our dinner. No issues there. Despite these small missteps, I still recommend it. Steer clear of the cocktails and desserts and you’ll have a great time.

A solid experience on an island full of over priced restaurants. Delicious drinks food and the outside patio is great to start off the evening with light live music.

Below expectations. Food was meh. Steak ordered medium rare was not medium rare it was cooked too far. Tuna could've used more flavor. The high prices do not correlate. Also even though it was resolved, tried to cram our party into too small of a table that initially was very uncomfortable.
