    We had a great brunch at JBs. My partner loved his Bloody Mary and the Kerry’s Turkey sandwich, my Lobster Benedict was very good, I asked to have the poached eggs cooked a little longer than usual and they came out perfect. We had a seat by a window with lovely views and our server was very pleasant. Will definitely return.

    It just doesn't get any better,at least in RI! From soup to appetizers to main course, and then desert and coffee. 5 Stars+ is the only description. My wife and I are "foodies" and we greatly respect and enjoy all restaurants in The Newport Restaurant Group as well as Beech in Jamestown and others. BUT....Our Table IS differentiated from all others in our opinion. Maybe not as fancy inside as others - the decor leans more toward "family friendly", but from the moment one walks in the door, one feels like they are treated as part of a family by all staff. Every offering on the menu reeks of creativity - when food arrives at the table, everyone agrees "best ever"! Try once and you will return! And FYI, this is not an advertisement and I am unpaid for my comments
