    Perfect location, very nice bustling atmosphere with gorgeous views, super-friendly and accommodating staff and fantastic food. I'm not from Newport and was afraid this would be a tourist-trap where the food isn't great. I was proven wrong. Everything we ordered was delicious-- super fresh raw bar, excellent mussels provencal, delicious Octopus. Refreshing cocktails! I'd highly recommend.
