I've been there twice on business and loved it. Definitely a sailing/boating haven. It's not that big so I'm assuming you'll cover all the good places to eat in a matter of a few days.

I visited there a few years ago. I went to restaurant/bar that had a whole lobster and a beer for 15 bucks. I can't remember the name though. It was not on the water front. Any ideas fellow rhode islanders?

Edit: The place looked didn't look upscale at all. (which i like)

I grew up in New Bedford, MA which isn't far from there.  There is a lot of excellent Portuguese food in the New Bedford/Fall River area that I encourage you to try.  Cafe Royal II on Rt 18 in New Bedford is wonderful.  Also Pa Raffa's and Ma Raffa's for Italian food if you get there.
