Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

Way back in 1975, the Sail Loft lit the fire for Steve Silverstein, who went on to open nearly 40 restaurants. Located in the quintessential seaside village of Padanaram, it was the neighborhood place where you could get a good (strong) drink, chef prepared comfort food and relax in a convivial atmosphere with familiar faces. The Sail Loft was everyone’s favorite place; it was a hangout where some came for food and others for drink.

When the Sail Loft became available in 2021, Steve jumped on the opportunity to take the wheel. Steve and his wife Judy transformed the Sail Loft into an elevated neighborhood restaurant with a distinct updated boatyard feel. The spot is nautical with a chef-driven yet approachable menu, a deep selection of spirts and an intriguing wine list. As with all of Silverstein’s places, while the food, drink and design are always top-notch, it is the warm hospitality that keeps ‘em coming back.

Overall it was very good. The food was warm but not hot. Several people sent plates back because of this. This is the second time that we had this problem in as many weeks. They need to be better with food temperature. Service was great!!!!

Lively environment even in dining room if you are seated near bar. Food was great and the service was excellent. Parking is challenging. Our first time here but not our last. Recommend fish and chips, burgers, chowder and onion soups.
