Rhode Island CoastWith the holidays in full swing and Valentine’s Day not far around the corner, you’re going to want to have some romantic dinner options in your back pocket. Wakefield, Rhode Island, is home to several area restaurants that would make for a top-notch romantic dinner option. If you need to plan a romantic evening in the coming months, take a look at these three romantic restaurant choices.

Coast Guard House

This incredible stone structure once served as an actual Coast Guard base before it was even known as the Coast Guard. Now, however, the Coast Guard House restaurant is serving up incredible food in a classy setting with a top-notch atmosphere. If you’re looking to impress your date, make sure you try to get reservations at Coast Guard House first. On top of the history, the view of the ocean from the restaurant is hard to match, making for a truly romantic setting.

The restaurant, which opened in the 1940s, prides itself on serving locally sourced food, which almost always means the food quality is great. As far as the menu goes, you or your date don’t need to be seafood fanatics to enjoy your time at the Coast Guard House. While, of course, there is a wide range of seafood options on the menu, you’ll find plenty of variety when it comes to non-seafood dishes as well.

The appetizer selection is as broad as it is adventurous with selections such as mushroom bruschetta with local mushrooms, pork belly empanada, stuffed clams, and sauteed octopus. Entrees include a wide selection of surf and turf options such as burgers, grilled fish, local scallops, steamed lobsters, and duck breast. For a truly memorable meal, make sure to give the Waygu rib-eye filet a try.

Spain of Narragansett

The food is the star when you dine at Spain of Narragansett. While the modern interior design-work and the refined decoration of the restaurant give it a luxurious charm, the meals you eat here will be some of the finest you’ve ever had. If you and your date make a point to try some of the best food in the area, give Spain of Narragansett a try.

The menu features a lot of your standard surf and turf fare such as stuffed mushroom caps or pasta with clams. There is a Spanish flair to the menu as well with the addition of gazpacho, paella marinara, and mariscada salsa Verde.

Castle Hill Inn

Located in Newport, Castle Hill Inn offers premier fine dining in Rhode Island. For a truly special event, you have to dine at a truly special venue. You’ll be greeted with stunning views of the ocean while your server acts as a guide through the incredible, inspired menu. The serving style is prix fixe, where you pay a flat price and select an option for a starter, main course, and a dessert. Entree choices include butter-poached lobster and seared duck breast.

If romance is in the air, celebrate the occasion at one of these three incredible Wakefield-area restaurants. If you can, try to hit all three in the next year and decide on a new go-to date night destination.
