RIVERWALK CAFE,

You know you're a truly assimilated Rhode Islander when you can remember two previous restaurants in the location of a new one. In this case, it's Raphael's and Amicus that once inhabited the two-tiered space now hosting Riverwalk Cafe. Owners Peter and Kevin Gaudreau have kept the basic decor: long chic bar and small tables on the lower level, dining area and open kitchen on the upper level. The menu concentrates on seafood, with a nod to the locals' craving for pasta and the ongoing fascination with items from the grill, be it filet mignon, swordfish, or pizza.
