• Nothing positive.
• Everything.

“Used to be a good restaurant. Surely management, indifferent servers and worse. Food is mediocre at best. On a recent visit, I ordered Lobster Pie. It was terrible to say the least. Needless to say I will never return.”

• Yummy home style food. Great service. Clean, cozy, unique.
• Haven't tried enough of the menu yet!

“I checked out a lot of local reviews, looking for something new in the area and Bassett's popped up as a place that I just hadn't noticed before. So we decided to try it out as I much prefer family owned, local restaurants to the chains that have been moving in over the years. First impressions lobby is nice, clean and spacious. We were seated in a booth near the salad bar and could see that the place is much bigger on the inside than it looks at first. Like many places in RI, it probably started small and grew over the years. The menu is large and not very descriptive so we had to rely on our server for explanations and suggestions. She was patient with our questions and very knowledgeable about the menu. She suggested several of her favorite meals, and we eventually decided on the Chicken Parmigiana and one of their specials of the night, Chicken Gorganzola since her description made my mouth water! You can add the salad bar for $1.00, but we both passed on it and I'm glad we did since the meals were generous portions. Both dinners were very good and served bubbly hot! It was a nice touch and I appreciated the warm food throughout the meal. The restaurant was busy for a Thursday night yet we felt very well attended to even as our server was taking care of several other, larger parties around us. Little details like cocktail napkins, butter dishes, clearing the table of used creamers, straws, etc. And an overall calm, pleasant and polite manner really made us feel like guests, not customers. Service was one of the bad points in several other reviews, either we got lucky or there are some really picky people out there! I'm looking forward to going back and trying some other dinners. There are a lot of options out there and I feel like Bassett's is money well spent!”

• Great food, fair prices, cozy.
• Had to wait on a Monday.

“Many visits to basset's inn,never been disappointed with the food or waiter staff! The best salad bar around, actually the only salad bar around, the portions are more than sufficient, and leftovers are always enjoyed the next day. I like wine with dinner and the size of the wine glass are more than I can get anywhere else,love this place, you wont be sorry!”

• We especially liked the very hot plates under our food. Meal stayed hot till finished.
• We personally do not care for TV's in dining area but in bar area,okay.

“Four of us went there for a leisurely lunch and were more than satisfied with the food, service, and the price. We spent more than two hours on lunch and had no feeling we were being rushed or pressured to leave, and we were not sitting there chatting over cocktails either.”

• Prompt service.
• No attempt to make customers happy.

“On return visit, sirloin was inedible, companion's prime rib overcooked, management was condescending and not willing to make up for a meal that could not be eaten without fear of choking. Owner/Cook claimed because he could cut through the steak, that there was nothing wrong with it. Never offered another choice; refused to take anything off our bill. This customer will never return to this establishment.”
