Customer Reviews
This was the BEST RESTAURANT we went to in Newport!! All of the seafood dishes were excellent, fresh and tasty. If you’ve ever been to the famous Oyster Bar in Grand Central station, this place is just as good. Definitely NYC prices for oysters $3.50/ oyster but that seemed to be the average price for a lot of the places in Newport. The scallops were extremely fresh, sweet and perfectly cooked. Also highly recommend the linguine pasta with calms, along with the lobster bisque. The bisque has HUGE pieces of lobster and was the perfect appetizer. For drinks and dessert, recommend the mojito and the chocolate mouse. This place is definitely worth the trip to Newport!!
It was our favorite place till today. We came 9.30 and ask about dinner for two outside. The girl on entrance explaining to us we can wait hour, for table inside and they do not serve outside from 9.30. It calls terrible customer service. I think we never came back.
It was great! Great service, great food. Totally would recommend.
