We came here for dinner on a monday night. It wasn't really busy and the staff was very kind and welcoming. They seated us and a lovely young lady took our order. I specifically stated i had an apple sensitivity and the sauce on the pork was supposed to be an apple glaze. They came out and got me the... More

We chose this restaurant based on our son's desire to eat a "good steak or a decent piece of fish" on the night before graduation from OCS. It is on the expensive side so I am not giving it an excellent rating, but we had great service, the food was well prepared and the ambience good. We had a table... More

My friends and I ate here on the night of my 30th birthday and we couldn't have picked a better spot! The food was absolutely amazing and we all walked out of there stuffed to the gills! I can personally vouch for the French Onion Soup, The Stuffed Lobster, and their Chocolate Cake (every one was ridiculously delicious!).

Very pricey, and the ambiance didn't live up to the price. Not a good view of the harbor. Food was ok. We were disappointed. Service was average.

Went on our anniversary - meals were tasty, tasty, tasty! Chipolte shrimp pasta was to die for! My husband had the pork, and he savored every bite! I will definitely go back next time I visit Newport! YUM!

We ordered from the restaurant week menu and the food was very mediocre. I felt like I was only paying for the ambiance and location. Everything on the menu (including the wine) was way over priced. There are so many better restaurants around this area there's no reason to go here. We ordered the redfish and salmon entrees. Both were... More

I thought it was very dark inside and did not have much of a selection. We came at like 3:00 so perhaps their dinner menu is better.

Stopped in for a late dinner, no reservations, no crowd as it's off season. Always a must go to place for us! Dinner was delightful and delicious as always. Thanx to Alex, our server for contributing to a nice dining experience!
