    We have been coming here for over 25 years and they have always maintained their high quality food. This year's menu has some welcome addititons. The prices are a little higher compared to other Newport dining spots but are justified by the quality

    Appetizers (calamari and quahog) were excellent. Warm lobster rolls were just ok - didn’t have much flavor. Cod was very good. Server was very welcoming and efficient. We were celebrating a birthday - which was acknowledged by host when we arrived. Overall it was fine but experience would have been better if we had a better table and didn’t order the lobster rolls. We will try again another time.

    Great location and excellent ambiance. Very busy for Mother’s Day which would have contributed to the slow service. Food was ok. The food can be a hit or miss when I go to the restaurant. I keep coming back because of its location.
