We all have our favorite go-to spots to grab a bite to eat. We usually pick a place that is just a short drive away and hop in the car and go. But why drive to a restaurant when you can take a boat? This Block Island restaurant features some mouthwatering food along with stunning views and it’s definitely worth the trip.

The Oar restaurant is just a short jaunt off of the Rhode Island coast, but you'll need to ride the ferry or a boat to get there. It's a seasonal restaurant on Block Island serving some fantastic lunch and dinner.

The collection of oars hanging from the ceiling are an eclectic expression of this joint's name.
