Bywater

"Not sure what happened, different management maybe? Ate here a while back and loved everything about the place. Food was excellent again but the attitude that came with it, in Warren of all places, not appreciated. Invite people into exploring your innovative dishes, don’t condescend. Providence, Boston, and NYC are close so it’s not as though your patrons don’t know what a quality dining experience should be like."

"A new favorite in Rhode Island- Bywater is an innovative, unpretentious, upscale dining experience. We scored same day 7:15pm reservations via Resy for a last minute birthday celebration for four. We tried basically everything on their seasonal, constantly changing menu, including: - Four Crudos - Cheese & Olives - Lamb Tartare - Black Bass Collars (like fish chicken wings) - Daikon Radish Salad - Squid Cacio e Pepe - Steamed Little Necks - Whole Fluke Portions range from small to enormous- with plenty of options for fish lovers. The ingredients were so fresh and the service was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back to try the outdoor dining in the summer!"

"Personnel: Hostess Jules absolutely amazing I just flew in from San Diego and found this spot. She was able to squeeze me in at the bar and even recommended a few items which were amazing. Jeff bartender took my drink orders and food orders. He was super busy but attentive and got the orders in quickly. And attended to my drink orders instantly. Other customers to left and right of me started conversations with me. Customers that come seem very friendly and welcoming like the staff. Location: Small location Great atmosphere. Not too loud. I would say it’s good for couples or groups of 4. I would say always book a reservation but especially with a group 4-8 hit definitely need reservations. Drinks: To drink I had 2 different white wines Forgot to write these down. But both very good. The mixed drinks I saw Jeff make looked amazing and reactions from other customers looked very pleased with what they got. Definitely will try when I am back. Food: Ordered the oysters and clams Very fresh plump. Clean and tasty. Ordered the mushrooms and onions Rich soup many layers of flavor. Kept saying wow every scoop. Must get!! Squid Cacio e Pepe Amazing thinly sliced squid mixed in with the pasta. Amazing umami of flavor. For me i would say to share a half order is good. Definitely need to add other dishes to try. Everything here has been an absolute hit. I don’t think you can order anything bad. ( definitely want to try the lamb Carpaccio and the steamed little necks next time.) “Crudo” amazing each plate has its unique taste. It’s a plater of flavors . Very fresh local fish. Fluke Tilefish Scallop Mackerel To finish: Desert was amazing with like a sponge like cake topped with nuts. Not overly sweet but packed with flavors My first time in RI and this place has set the bar really high. I will definitely be back here again"

"0ctober 2022: Bywater is a restaurant located in a former garage. Garage doors were turned into large windows, with a cozy but elegant dining area. There are several outdoor tables with wooden benches. Heaters provide warmth on cool fall days. We were there in mid October, and eating outdoors was quite comfortable. I had crab baked in squash as an appetizer, and squid pasta. Both dishes were interesting, well prepared, and flavorful. Even though the presentation was not particularly elegant, the flavors were excellent. The service was very friendly and attentive."

"One of my favorite places in Warren. I love their exotic ambiance, cozy patio with flowers and herbs. Theses days, they started open in the morning and serve nice bread, coffee and sandwiches. I like to visit here after my morning working out and have a relaxing time with my friends or by myself. Only one thing I want to ask the manager was when they would start to provide morning sandwich again. As for two weeks, they don't serve them... and sparkling lemonade either..."
