So brunch time. Enormous menu choices for this relatively smallish kitchen. Luckily we got a table straight away. Pancakes with caramelised banana, avocado on bread were all enjoyed. A good place.

I have visited the ice cream barn a few times this summer. It is a great place to visit. The ice cream is great-there are many wonderful flavors. Also the waffle cones and bowls are fantastic. The serving sizes are tremendous. There are lovely places to sit and have your ice cream-very tranquil. Overall the Ice Cream Barn is a nice place to visit-the ice cream is great-the servers are friendly, the atmosphere is lovely and the prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend-nice for children.

We enjoyed their $10 lunch combo recently - which includes an entree, rice, salad, and an appetizer such as soup or edamame or a spring roll. Very friendly and efficient service. Dinners at very good, too, with a wider menu.
4. Continent Bakery

My husband and I stopped here for goodies when we were in the neighborhood. I did a search for Portuguese bakeries on google maps. They had a nice selection of Portuguese items, plus "regular" items you would find in a bakery.
We purchased a few donuts, some sausage rolls, pudding and sweet bread. Everything was fantastic! I am not sure we will ever be able to drive by the exit off of I-195 and not stop here. Thankfully we live about an hour away or we'd be in serious trouble.
The jelly donuts and flaky creme pastries haunt my dreams!!

Somerset has 2 locations and both are equally great. This is a family owned business and they believe in quality and service. All the flavors are sooo good. I especially love their frozen yogurts. Loads of nuts, bits etc. in every bite. This place is worth seeking out for ice cream treats or soda fountain drinks. All the customers have smiles on their faces here.

Dinner with friends all ordering different items.
Good wine list by the glass, local beers available also.
No serious food issues, mostly typical choices bordering on average to good.
Several Portuguese style preparations offered; these were very good and are a welcome alternative to the standard(s) salmon, stuffed cod and linguini with clams. Steak tips Portuguese style were very good, but slightly overcooked.
The bar area and dining room are visually appealing; nice sized outdoor patio for warmer weather dining.
It may be best for drinks and appetizers; varied, interesting choices rather than typical, non-distinguished entrees.
Service was very good except for the very annoying visits to clear entree plates while others were still eating or just pausing.
7. Medici Gelato

Reviewed By Oscarthecat - Providence RI
This little gelato restaurant has consistently put out amazing gelato since it opened a year ago. With about 12-20 choices each night, the types of gelato changes. You can order from 1-4 scoops for less than it will cost you in terms of calories and dollars than most competitors. Tastefully decorated with a delightful family in charge---Go now!
8. Chardonnay's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 224 reviews
Chardonnay's is a casual yet elegant restaurant featuring eclectic new-American cuisine and a carefully chosen wine list that includes twenty wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. We do not take reservations for the bar or the bar area, sorry. Those seats are first come first serve.

I live in Wisconsin but travel to Seekonk to visit family. This last trip we visited Chardonnays three times because the food is simply amazing. It is one place where you are guaranteed fine tasting food every visit. This visit I tried this butternut soup...MoreHoly Cow SJ, you made my day. Thanks for the great review and I agree with the butternut soup. I hope to see you again on your next trip to Seekonk!!! Al Castiglioni

Reviewed By David P - Riverside, RI, USA
Love this bakery and have been enjoying all they have to offer for over 15 years. We have had almost everyone of my children's whipped cream cakes for birthdays from Vienna and have never been disappointed. Guests have raved about the quality, taste and presentation. They also have a wide selection of breads, rolls, pizza, spinach pies as well as an incredible assortment of homemade pastries, cakes, pies, desserts, and so much more. We visit regularly and have sampled both savory and sweet. I highly recommend a visit ... or two.

Truly, truly continue to be amazed by the offerings at The Revival. It's a small restaurant with big talent and definitely no longer a secret around neighboring towns. Peter and Stephanie are hands-on owners that are committed to delivering new, quality-choice foods and they never disappoint. Just visited tonight with my wife and 24 year old daughter, and wow was it amazing. We (family and friends) all agree, time after time, that they have the freshest, non-fishy tasting mussels in the New England, served in an incredible broth with french fries mixed-in to boot! All the food is fantastic -their salads, for example, are real salads - no getting served just a bowl of iceberg lettuce with a few tomatoes...... this is true, fresh greens with all kinds of compliments, so well done, and always presented with class. The seafood is always spot-on, never disappoints, fresh as can be. If you're up for more casual, then order up a flatbread pizza, nothing too big, nothing to fancy, but always delicious. Tonight's flatbread was a "spicy white clam sauce flatbread".... perfect spice and great taste. And did I mention they have arguably the best bourbon/whiskey selection in the East Bay? The restaurant atmosphere is very nice, cozy but not too tight. Great bar with about 14 seats. My buddies and I frequent it on Tuesdays on our way home from work, and the workers are starting to know us, but we really don't want anyone to know.
