    Food was exceptional. One of the best meals we have had in a while. We had the fortune of sitting outside for a beautiful night watching the sunset.

    Always a great experience at SSDion. We have been regulars for many years. My only complaint is that now so many others have discovered this great RI coastal restaurant that we have to plan in advance to get a reservation.
