Once inside you will be entranced by the view of the Sakonnet River which leads out to the ocean beyond through the panorama of windows. While enjoying Al Fresco dining on our deck, across the river you will occasionally notice the local fishing boats as they make their way to the Tiverton fish market.

The KITCHEN Table is a fun surprise. It’s located in Newport Pickleball Club (a blue building set back from the street). Home Depot is your landmark when you’re looking for it. Plenty of seating, lots of big-screen TVs, and if you sit at the bar, you can watch live sports. That’s right— great view of the pickleball courts. A fun twist. Very good, healthy food options ( vegetarian options too ) combined with some more traditional pub grub. You’ll be happy…your kids will be happy. Great service. If you’re playing, you can order at the big window to the bar, and there are also courtside tables. Super casual. Have fun!!
