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.

Love this place! It’s quaint and has a very New England vibe. Had 6:30 reservations, arrived and it was jammed. Had a drink at the bar and was sat shortly afterwards. Food was absolutely amazing. If you have room for dessert, the bread pudding was insanely good! Can’t wait for warmer weather to enjoy more.

Thank you Mitchell! We hope to see you again, and sooner than springtime! Bread pudding will be here through the winter...

Great food and service as usual! We were 10 mins or so late getting seated, which wasn’t a big deal, but to our surprise our two alcoholic drinks were “on the house” at checkout!

We often come to Sail loft but this experience was different. Service felt very rushed and the Hawaiian steak tips meat quality was off. Will be taking a little break.

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve Dinner! The food was delicious, and I loved the French Onion soup. Our server, Jessica, was professional and efficient. We truly enjoyed our dining experience.
