If dining in the salt air at farm tables adorned with flowers, and strands of Edison lights overhead is your jam, then the 3rd Annual Harvest Dinner on the Cliff Lawn at The Chanler at Cliff Walk is worth considering. Priced at $275 per person (plus tax and service charge), diners will be treated to a feast served through a thoughtful mix of chef-crafted plated courses, with select beer and wine pairings. The menu showcases the season’s bounty, planned to highlight the quality of regional purveyors. The night begins with a welcome hour of cocktails, mocktails, and canapés, and ends with live music. Recommended for ages 12 and older, the dress code is relaxed and casual. Dishes will be served family-style at community tables, so note that severe allergies can’t be accommodated and there are no dish alterations. However, the menu offers options for both vegetarians and pescatarians. Reserve ahead. September 14. 117 Memorial Boulevard, Newport. TheChanler.com
“We are partners in life, in the kitchen, and now on the road!” says Katelyn Cantone, who recently launched Seb’s Wood Fire Oven with her husband Benjamin. “Cooking has always been our love language, and with Seb’s, we get to share that love one pizza at a time.” Katelyn notes that quality ingredients, genuine hospitality, and a feeling like you’re eating at their house is at the heart of Seb’s. Currently, they serve right from their driveway two nights a week at 222 Wood Street, Bristol; other nights they hit the road for farmers markets, breweries, or private events. A recent menu included six types of pizza – some classic (margherita, pepperoni), some unique (chouiço and potato, zucchini) – plus a salad using cucumbers from nearby Moonrose Farm, and a selection of sweets. “The crackle of the fire, the smoky crust, and the way it brings people together is what we’re about.” 222 Wood Street, Bristol.

Got a case of the Septembers? Motor over to OceanCliff Hotel on Ocean Drive where the venue’s Whispering Wednesday series continues through October. The experience takes place on the Safari Room lawn overlooking picturesque Narragansett Bay. Savor Whispering Angel rosé from Adirondack chairs beneath the shade of pink umbrellas while watching boats pass by. A menu of light bites is available 12 noon through 4pm – at which point the full menu is available. “Sharable carbs like our truffle parm fries and soft pretzels – served with beer cheese – don’t count on Wednesdays,” says Susanne Day, sales manager. Indulge with caviar service, keep it simple with salads, hand-helds, and flatbreads, or get cozy with chowder. For a classic experience, Day suggests the Bucket of Rosés: four mini bottles of Whispering Angel rosé. Valet service is available day and night. For followers of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, the group was recently spotted here. 65 Ridge Road, Newport. NewportExperience.com
