The Shanty is a modern American restaurant in Warwick, Rhode Island, offering a la carte dining built on local farm-fresh ingredients, served in a comfortable, locals-first room with a rotating list of craft beers and cocktails.
Executive Chef Sean McDermott was born and raised in Rhode Island, which shaped his approach to local, seasonal ingredients; he credits his great-grandparents with teaching him early techniques for handling what he cooks. Owner Kara Neisinger built her hospitality career before opening The Shanty, managing Tavern by the Sea in Wickford, Davios in Foxborough, Jack Sprat in Girdwood, Alaska, and the Whitehorse Tavern in Newport.
The menu includes a burger, fish and chips, and a seared sea scallop, alongside rotating dinner specials like grilled mahi mahi and carne asada.
Rhode Island Monthly included The Shanty in one of its dining roundups.
