    Absolutely superior experience! Our server was amazing! The food was delicious. I could taste the quality of each ingredients in my New England clam chowder and the stuffed shrimp entree. Everything was perfect. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary!

    It is the second time we’ve gone here. It has been incredibly good both times this time. It was just my wife and I and we shared a sushi appetizer which was delicious. She had the lobster tortellini and I had the sesame crusted salmon, which were both incredibly good. They have great wine list that we could pair it with the Keylime pie for dessert was also incredibly good. Service was fabulous. Amy did a great job.

    Robby has never tipped more than 20 percent but our girl from Long Island, perhaps Kimmy, did a great job!

    Exceptional service. We celebrated anniversaries and the staff ensured that we were well taken care of. Including rose petals on the table. As always the food was delicious from appetizers to decadent dessert. Newport restaurant group never disappoints!
