From May – September, Rhode Island’s Block Island becomes a top vacation destination for people from all over New England and beyond. And part of their annual tradition usually includes a stop or two at The Harbor Grill & Orchid Lounge, one of Block Island’s oldest restaurants. The eatery is about to open for the season, and we couldn’t be happier.

The Harbor Grill & Orchid Lounge is located on Water Street, inside the historic Harborside Inn.

The restaurant offers indoor dining, outdoor dining, and a small outdoor patio called “the wicker section.”

Management / TripAdvisor Let’s just say there’s no bad seat here.

The on-site Orchid Lounge used to be a small, dark, rowdy bar.

The entire eatery has an island vibe, and the cocktail list is no exception.

The lunch and dinner menu consists mainly of classic and contemporary seafood dishes.
