Rhode Island’s total area is 14 percent water. Is it any wonder that we have more than a handful of waterfront restaurants? Most of these scenic eateries have claimed their spots along Rhode Island’s inlets and bays. However, the Waterman Grille chose its fantastic location along the Seekonk River. This riverside restaurant has the water views and exceptional cuisine that make for an unforgettable dining experience.
Located in a former Providence bridge gatehouse that dates back to 1871, the Waterman Grille offers casual dining on the Seekonk River.
