Anytime of year, but especially from May through mid-October, when there's seating on the sprawling terrace with its million-dollar cliff-top ocean views, this refined restaurant at the Chanler Inn ranks among Rhode Island's very finest dining experiences. Typically complex fare from the regional American dinner menu includes Southern-style foie gras with toasted pistachio flapjacks and brandy-cherry foam, followed by seared diver scallops with kobe-beef oxtail and a Madeira-truffle jus. For an all-out feast, opt for the eight-course tasting menu with pairings from the extensive wine list.
