About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
We’re an eclectic blend of Newport vibes — from the historic bank vault behind our marble bar to the Bellevue Ave-inspired details in our lounge. Our cocktails bring you back to the Newport of decades ago. We’re proud to serve quality, locally sourced victuals (it rhymes with ‘skittles’) — all in an immersive dining experience.

    Offered a great vibe. Looking for a quieter setting upstairs dining is better. The food is delicious and our waitress Sailor, had such a great personality and is an asset. Highly recommend.

    Ask for upstairs seating for a more quiet meal. Small plates were great. Monk fish main cooked perfectly.

    This is just the nicest spot on the Thames Bricks! All the right stuff on the menu, from gorgeous cheese boards to a million sides and local fish, all to mix and match. The service is spectacular and there are distinct spaces to match your mood. The Caesar salad is always perfect and I wanted the Black Sea Bass catch of the day twice. It just never gets old. Our compliments!
