I’ve only been to the Crows nest a couple of times and really enjoyed it. I really liked their stuffed shrimp.
Actually red chowder is "Rhode Island style chowder", at least according to the Sterns it is. I believe, however the difference is that it is mixed with a little cream. Aunt Carries has an excellent red chowder. On The Roch’s in West Warwick also had an excellent red chowder and fish n chips as well, however the last time I tried it about a couple of years ago I was dissapointed. The chowder was watery and the fish had a "funny taste" not sure if it was an off day, however I’ve been hesitant to go back and try it again.
