"Stopped by for dessert. Waitress was so welcoming. Made us feel right at home. We loved the atmosphere; very cozy. Also, the made from scratch desserts were amazing. I'm planning on coming back for dinner soon! Thank you! Update: Came back for dinner. Dinner service was excellent. The burger was absolutely delicious as was the New Bedford scallops. Will be back again!"

"We visit Bristol once a year and always end our vacation for sunset dinner at SS Dion. This year was better than ever. Our waitress Megan was so friendly and warm plus she made excellent recommendations. The day boat Milanese special was the best fish dish I’ve ever had. My husband had fresh caught tuna sashimi and he loved it."

"Really cool spot. Online booking was easy, and I got a spot outside where we watched the sun set. Staff was informative and knowledgeable- told us about fresh-caught tuna the chef was using for one of the specials, which we got, and really enjoyed. Everything was delicious, priced fairly, and the service was super attentive. We loved it!!"

"First time visiting. Food was great! Started with chowder then had my go to fish n chips. I order them just about everywhere I go. In search of the perfect order. This order was delicious!! Definitely high on my list. There were 6 of us everyone loved their meals! Will definitely be back!"

"My wife and I went to SS Dion for the first time a week ago. I called ahead as it was our five year anniversary, since I wanted to do something special. I wasn't sure how to really make the night one to remember, but I was hoping to maybe do some kind of tasting menu. I did not see an option on the menu for something like that, but was hoping they would have some flexibility with a week's notice. When I reached out, I spoke directly with the Chef who would be on that night (and I believe all other nights), Chef Nic. I asked him about the potential for a tasting menu with a wine pairing and not only did Chef Nic agree to the proposal, he seemed downright enthusiastic about it. The conversation was brief, but I could tell we were in good hands. When we showed up on the night of our anniversary, the front of house took us to our own private table with a beautiful view of the water and interior of the restaurant. Much to my surprise, Chef Nic showed up with the first course (and each course thereafter) to talk through the intricacies of what he was able to masterfully craft and then pair with an unassuming, yet perfectly matched wine. From the first bite, we were blown away. Each of the 10 courses was unique, expertly made, and delicious in a way that highlighted each ingredient without pretentiousness. Each time Chef Nic spoke about one of his dishes, it was easy to be captivated by how much thought and attention went into each component of the food as well as his sheer passion for world-wide cuisine. I have eaten at Michelin star restaurants around the world and I can say this was undoubtedly the best restaurant experience I have ever had (I'm not exaggerating here folks). To top the night off, before we left, Chef Nic hand-delivered a copy of the menu that had Happy Anniversary notes and signatures from each person in the kitchen and waitstaff who helped us that night. Most restaurants have great food, great people, or a great atmosphere. S.S. Dion has all three. I cannot emphasize enough (try as I might via my longwinded filibuster here) how amazing the experience was in every facet of our time at S.S. Dion. I have been and will continue to recommend it to everyone I speak to who lives in or is visiting the Ocean State. Thank you Chef Nic and the rest of the S.S. Dion Crew!"
