Fodor's Review:

The first license to operate a tavern here was obtained in 1673, and almost uninterruptedly since then the premises have served as a tavern, boardinghouse, or restaurant. Once a meetinghouse for Colonial Rhode Island's General Assembly, the tavern provides intimate dining with its low dark-beam ceilings, cavernous fireplace, and uneven plank floors. The service is black tie, the wine list top notch, and the American cuisine—including pan-seared blue cod with roasted-tomato coulis and lemon-thyme oil, and a stellar beef Wellington—consistently excellent.
