"WHAT: The second act for chef Steve Johnson (who closed his Cambridge, Massachusetts, restaurant Rendezvous in 2014), with deceptively simple fare, served in a quaint one-story building overlooking the Sakonnet River, 45 minutes south of Providence.
WHY: With a wood-fired stove in the dining room and a picnic-table-strewn waterfront porch, Red Dory screams more summer weekend than urban swank. But here, beneath canvas sails draped from the cork ceiling, Johnson works wonders with local seafood, like the tender Rhode Island squid he sauteed with thick borlotti beans and arugula, or the linguini slicked with red sauce and clams dug up nearby. The lemon pudding cake, which Johnson also served at Rendezvous, tastes of sunshine, summer weekend or not." [Eater]
