    It was a busy restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with some very large groups of families finishing up. These tables looked chaotic with napkins, food and drinks scattered around the floor and tables. Once these families left, four staff righted tables, chairs and floor in no time! Our waitress could not have been more helpful or efficient. Our food came out in good time and our meals were excellent!!! It was a pleasant experience, especially after wondering at first how things might go. I would say the restaurants has excellent management! And we’re going back again in a month with some out of town guests.

    We had a fantastic lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The bouillabaisse for 2 was fabulous stuffed with lobster, mussels & shrimp and fish and chips were great. Remember to make a reservation!

    Atmosphere of a beer hall. Food was good but not great for the price. Our waitress was great and very professional. She was super nice bringing our friends a very good cheesecake for their wedding anniversary.

    The view of the waterfront with all the boats made for a perfect backdrop. The swordfish I had was wonderfully tasty and the whole fish my sister had was delicious. The beet salad was tasty and the only negative would be that the pastry of the Galette we had for dessert was a little undercooked. Of our dining experiences in Newport, this was the best!
