Feast On Stuffed Quahogs And Classic New England Seafood At Top Of The Bay In Rhode Island

Top of the Bay Restaurant in Warwick, Rhode Island, offers delicious seafood in a historic former governor's summer home with fantastic coastal views.

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.

This isn't the first restaurant to occupy the former governor's summer home, but it's certainly the one with the most staying power.

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

Locals and tourists alike tend to love this place for the tasty food and friendly service.

You can enjoy your meal in the dining room or venture up to the deck when the weather allows.

The views from the deck are fantastic, and they typically offer some great happy hour specials here.

Seafood isn't the only thing on the menu here, but it's certainly the star of the show.

And with such a perfect coastal location, we wouldn't expect anything less.

The menu consists of some famous New England classics, like Rhode Island clam cakes...

... and, of course, the best stuffed quahogs on the planet.

Two quahog clams are stuffed with the restaurant's famous clam stuffing, and they're divine.

Top of the Bay Restaurant is currently open Wednesday - Sunday for lunch and dinner.
