Reviews Summary
The Andrea Seaside Restaurant and Beach Bar is celebrated for its unbeatable beachfront location and relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Diners rave about the stunning ocean views, the generous lobster rolls, and the fun s'mores dessert. While some find the prices a bit high for the area, the fresh seafood and attentive service generally make it a worthwhile stop for a quintessential beachside dining experience.
"It’s THEE spot to go to after a hot day at the beach. I couldn’t believe how huge the fish in the Fish & Chips was… it was GINORMOUS, and exceptionally delicious, and for $23?!
The location also overlooks the water, so you have a nice cool breeze blowing as you eat.
Lastly, the staff were friendly and fast with their service. I will definitely be back!"

"Excellent sunny day spot. The view and vibe are awesome. The server was as pleasant as can be, and it was above 90 degrees. The food is well made and fresh. The only reason for four stars is because it takes truly exceptional flavors and preparation. The food was good but not 5 star good. Everyone but the most picky eater will be very happy but no one will be blown away. We went on a very sunny day and sat on the open deck with tarp covering. Great view, comfy seats, not pushed together."

"This is my second time to Andrea‘s and it’s a great location right by the ocean. You can grab a quick cocktail or refreshing drink when you’re sitting on the beach. Or you can have a great dinner with family or date night with amazing cocktails, cocktails, appetizers, like the thingbang shrimp and my most favorite is their lobster roll that is overflowing with lobster and hot butter."

Misquamicut Family Ties - Part 2
Another iconic landmark and one of the best hangouts, with live music and great food on the beach, is the Colucci family’s Andrea Seaside Restaurant and Beach Bar, originally the Andrea Hotel. The 100-year-old hotel had 26 rooms and was open part-time year round hosting weddings and holiday celebrations. The hotel building was severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
