Located in the Block Island airport terminal, Bethany’s Airport Diner has one of the best choices for this column’s seafood theme — their own Crab Cake Benny.

A few days ago at Eli’s Restaurant, executive chef Evan Wargo served the most sumptuous hamburger and fries imaginable.

A year ago, Brad and Anne Marthens, owners of the Victorian-era Atlantic Inn, gave their dining room a new name — Restaurant 1879.

Pi cture this — you are sitting on a large, outside covered deck restaurant overlooking Crescent Beach and Old Harbor on a sunny, warm day (or maybe on a cool, moonlit night or even on a dramatic, stormy evening). At the Surf Hotel, which opened in 1876 and has been in the Cyr family since 1956,...

What’s a good example of a great appetizer? It could very well be the mile-high seafood appetizer at the Beachead Restaurant.

Are you in the mood for something other than a burger with fries? Think about sushi. It’s just right for a light, but luxurious meal, with a little fun as well. This summer, along with its traditional foods, The Oar has stepped up and increased its sushi choices. Some are spicy, some not so much...

Just its name — Bethany’s Airport Diner — creates a colorful image of this little restaurant before you ever walk in the door.
