    We originally had earlier reservations, then changed them thinking we could not make the original time, however we were able to. When we arrived, they had no issues getting us in, even while extremely busy. Our server was wonderful and attentive. The manager who stopped over was just as wonderful and we enjoyed speaking to her about her son’s service. The view and ambiance was perfect & the food was amazing! Worth making reservations if you are in the area!

    Started out at the bar with an espresso martini, it was perfect. We had 2 tables one adults and the other kids. Our waitress was amazing with our group. Food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the warm lobster rolls and the raw bar was so fresh! Can’t wait to come back 🦞

    What an amazing experience we had at the Mooring for dinner. The beautiful atmosphere was welcoming and the food was one of the best meals I have had in YEARS. We came with our son for my husband's birthday and the team greeted him with a card signed by the staff- such a sweet touch. We sat at a beautiful table by the water and the waitress gave us some wonderful recommendations. We were so impressed and felt so taken care of. We can't wait to come back next time we are in town. Thank you!!

    With two visits over two days, we can honestly say that the Mooring was an enjoyable experience. The team there is incredibly friendly. The food is fresh and delicious , and the ambience is warm and inviting. The clam chowder is killer and they have a nice assortment of raw bar options.  A nice curated assortment of handhelds and entrées without creating a menu that’s overwhelming. With an extensive list of cocktails and wine selections, we enjoyed ourselves! Also, the owner/managed surprised us on our way out! Never before have we been that surprised and such a nice gesture from The Mooring.  Needless to say will return on our next visit to Newport. (A special thanks to Lisa who was so friendly to us on both visits.)

    Professional and attentive service by the waiter, and two managers who introduced themselves. Overall, a great experience right on the water in Newport.
