White Horse Tavern

If you'd like to eat at a 17th-century tavern that once served as an annual meeting place for the Colonial Rhode Island General Assembly, try this historic, gambrel-roofed beauty. Dinner menus might include baked escargot, truffle-crusted Atlantic halibut or beef Wellington. Service can be hit or miss despite the dress code: business-casual for dinner; no sportswear or swimwear for lunch.
