We Had Lunch On A Porch At This Enchanting Eatery In Warwick, Rhode Island

Gotta say, we’ve eaten at the Tree House Tavern during the winter months and enjoyed it immensely, but I absolutely adore their outdoor space in the summer.

Yesterday, we sat for a late lunch out on the vine covered side porch, and it was just soooo nice. (Take note all my friends out there who, like me, wish they had a porch to hang out on this time of year.)

If you haven’t experienced out-of-doors there in a while, you should know that they have really expanded and taken it to a whole other level. (We were pleasantly surprised to discover THIS a few summer.s ago)

In addition to their Woodshed space that you’re probably already a fan of, they went and added an additional open air seating area with a roof. (See photos below.) There are lotsa lanterns everywhere. And more flowers and greenery than ever before.

It’s very Rhode Island rustic meets whimsical; I honestly cannot think of anywhere else quite like it in Lil Rhody.

Also, our wait person was such a delight! She kept checking in with us, making sure we were doing well without hovering. (It’s a delicate balance, ya know? I say this as someone who worked in the service industry for 18+ years.)

We actually ended up getting a bunch of small plates — their Caesar salad, the deviled eggs, and the hummus platter, all of which I cannot say enough greattt things about. As a matter of fact, that hummus platter was one of the best as far as portion size, tastiness, and variety (in terms of what is included) that I’ve had in recent memory.

My only call-out would be that since the hubs and I don’t eat meat, we’d LOVE to see a few more meatless options on the menu. Maybe a Beyond Burger or something along those lines.

We didn’t order any cocktails or beer, but I have had drinks there with friends in the past and would again in a heartbeat. (Regulars rave about their espresso martinis, beer selection, and mocktails.)

One More Thing — The dessert tray looked amazing; wish we had saved room.
