Modern Eats on the Water
When I was invited to a ladies’ luncheon in East Greenwich, I couldn’t think of an afternoon better spent than connecting with friends new and old over delicious seafood along the coastline. And though the day was met with stormy weather, Water Street Kitchen & Bar was a warm respite. On arrival I was promptly greeted by one of the new restaurant’s general managers, DJ O’Brien, who led me up the stairs to a beautifully decorated table complete with tea lights and floral arrangements, in an elegant space overlooking the marina. Not even gray skies could dampen the cozy atmosphere.
