This Porch Restaurant In Rhode Island Overlooks The Ocean And It’s Downright Heavenly

Summer has officially ended in Rhode Island and the tourists have headed back home, but there is still enough warm weather left to do some outdoor dining. Fall is the perfect time of year to make an escape to Block Island. Once you jump off the ferry, you’ll need to plan your next meal and this dining porch is a heavenly spot to take in the sights and enjoy some superb food.

The Spring House Hotel was built in 1852. Not only is it Block Island's oldest and largest hotel, but this legendary place is also a wonderful spot to dine.

Porch dining has never been so beautiful than on this restaurant with a veranda privy to breathtaking ocean views. Enjoy lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. or dinner from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Choose from fresh seasonal favorites with many ingredients picked straight from the garden. Being on the island, seafood is in flavorful abundance.

Enjoy a full meal or select something lighter like the Ahi Tuna Tartare. You'll find carefully crafted dishes to please all tastes at this historic spot.

While the venue may have roots deep in the past, the food has quite a modern flair. You can also find staples like the signature lobster roll and chilled local oysters.

This ocean front hotel also has Neapolitan pizza that is full of delicious flavor. Bring the whole family to enjoy the scrumptious fare and glorious views.

Don't forget to order a cocktail to accompany your meal. This veranda was voted by GQ as the "best place to drink a gin & tonic in the world."

Have you ever enjoyed a meal on this incredible dining porch? While you’re spending time on Block Island make sure to visit this historic lighthouse, take this scenic hike, and check out this exotic animal farm.
