    The food here was delicious! We were a bit disappointed that they were not able to accommodate a group of 5 to sit by the window despite the fact the restaurant was basically empty. Most of the tables by the window were for 2. They could have easily pulled up another table. Instead we were seated in a semi circle type booth which isn't ideal for a fancy dressed up dinner and having to scooch in and be stuck unless you're on the end. The food was amazing so I will be going back but the service throughout the night was subpar at best.

    This place was great! The food and portions were really good. Everything was delicious. We could barely finish the meal but we enjoyed it so much we powered through. The staff was amazing and friendly and very attentive. We really had a nice time and I would visit them again.

    Excellent service however both of our scallop dishes had a strong burnt taste. The staff and manager gave us the opportunity to try another dish. This time my wife and I chose a flat bread to share. The burnt taste from our scallops still permeated our palate so it made it difficult to enjoy the flat bread. Service and staff were great, the food not so much.

    Never been so embarrassed in my life. The waitress ran after us down the street accusing us of taking the receipt. I always fill out both and leave them. No customer service never came back to check on us. Never will go back and would recommend it either

    Very convenient for hotel guests! We were tired and it was great to have this restaurant available. Clam chowder and chicken caesar salad were standouts and kids enjoyed burger, chicken fingers and fries. Service was great, ambiance just ok. Prices were what you would expect from a hotel.

    Our waiter, Carolyn, was excellent. We got the Tuna Poke bowl, Braised Short Rib, Calamari, and Clam Chowder. All the food was very good. Prices were a bit high, but about as expected for a resort hotel restaurant in Newport. Not the best value but a good choice, and convenient for hotel guests. Would dine again.
