Once upon a time, in 1908, a Rhode Island governor named D. Russell Brown had a summer house built at Oakland Beach in Warwick. Many decades later, it was converted into one of our favorite seafood spots. Top of the Bay Restaurant is still going strong, and their local delicacies are better than ever.

Top of the Bay is located at 898 Oakland Beach Ave. in Warwick.

Since its opening, the restaurant has been home to many family dinners, date nights, and even private events.
