The Panoramic-View Restaurant in Rhode Island Is a Must-Visit

We're pretty spoiled, especially when it comes to good eats and awe-inspiring views, in Rhode Island. That usually makes deciding where to go out for a meal somewhat challenging. When you're craving a culinary experience, head over to this panoramic-view restaurant in Rhode Island that is far more than a place to grab dinner. It's a destination that promises a one-of-a-kind experience.

With panoramic views of the Sakkonet River, 15 Point Road Restaurant hits all the marks — a unique destination, a menu brimming with delicious dishes, and top-notch service. The riverfront restaurant provides dinner service only.

The Portsmouth restaurant offers indoor dining, where large windows let the natural light pour in, creating a warm ambiance. With panoramic views of the river, the outdoor deck promises ample seating but no protection from the sun or bad weather, so keep that in mind when making a reservation.

Make a reservation online or by calling 401-683-3138. Outdoor seating is open weather permitting, and, unfortunately, if there's bad weather, you likely won't be able to get indoor seating the same day. Keep that in mind when making reservations, or have a backup plan in case of inclement weather.

Sip a drink, a glass of wine or a martini, perhaps, as you gaze out over the water. Definitely come hungry, so you can begin with one of the appetizers. How about the crab cakes, fried calamari, or jumbo shrimp? The menu also features such New England favorites as clam chowder and the "soup of the moment."

If you're craving a classic, try the baked stuffed lobster, grilled native swordfish, or fish and chips. Sometimes, though, a sunny day and a warm breeze just pair oh-so-perfectly with a steak. 15 Point Road Restaurant serves filet mignon, steak Diane, and slow-roasted prime rib.

Feeling like a bit of both? You can't go wrong with the surf 'n turf or the farm and sea, both of which feature tenderloin. Don't forget the pasta dishes. If you're in a pasta frame of mind, dig into a hearty helping of lobster mac and cheese or seafood pasta.
