   Took a group there for dinner. Most people said food was "ok" but my steak (supposedly a dry aged steak" - the special for the night was inedible. I asked for medium rare and it came out medium well. Was so tough, hard to cut with a steak knife. Ate a couple of bites and didn't want to make an issue and send it back, so just ate the veggies-what a waste of money. One person loved their meal (pasta with ragu sauce), and again everyone else said it was "ok." I was the unlucky one.....Server and staff was very pleasant but wouldn't go back.

   We came on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, after the restaurant having had a VERY busy Saturday night. As a result, several items on the menu were not available. However, the duck liver mousse first course was both unusual and tasty, and what was termed a Petit Filet of beef was remarkable -- fully crisped on the outside, and medium rare within. Our house-made cocktails were very well done, as well. I asked to compliment the chef, who richly deserved to be recognized.

   Beautiful location with excellent view! Noise level a bit high due to unruly children, but otherwise very good!

   The restaurant was virtually empty, in part due to the renovation of the resort. The ambiance would have felt quite different I think if full of people and life. The food however was excellent and the server was lovely. We highly recommend the Lobster Gnocchi, I would visit again just for this dish.

   Mediocre hotel food served by chaotic and stressed staff at outrageous prices. Diner tables and uncomfortable seats. Needs major overhaul in menu and service.

    The service was horrible. The food was outrageously priced for what was served. The ambiance was that of a free hotel breakfast dining area. It was under construction. We paid over 300.00 for 3 entrees, a soup and two salads. My petite filet was raw. I'd suggest you choose a different place.

    Booked for Mother’s Day. Was not clear that only brunch was available. We were seated at a crummy booth. Asked to move which they accommodated. Was ignored, and unable to order drinks. Once we got served our water was told”there is confusion about who your server is”. Food was fair at best. Meat from carving station was cold. Omelets we’re good. Had to find waitress to provide spoon for dessert. Check was $400 for family of four. Server was friendly but emphasized twice that gratuity was not included. Would never go back. Hope someone else’s experience was better than ours.

    Very nice. Fire alarm was unexpected. We’re told afterwards we didn’t have to leave as they were dealing with the issue. Caused some confusion as we didn’t know what was happening.

    Went for breakfast, not crowded at all. Waitress was very slow. They missed my wife’s meal altogether. Not apologetic at all. She had to eat by herself bc they never made it or we would have all been eating cold food. I never expect a free meal but the proper thing to do in that situation from a customer service stand point would be to comp that meal or at least apologize. Very disappointing and wouldn’t return anytime soon.

    We were disappointed. The maitre d' was condescending and the food was so-so. The servers were friendly but overall it was a big disappointment compounded by the fact that it was 11:30am on a Sunday and we came for brunch but they would only serve lunch, no eggs or breakfast-style entrees. Based on the Open Table reviews and menu, we were under the impression that brunch would be available. Disappointing end to our weekend.

    The food and service were both very good, with generous portions. It’s just the ambience. In a beautiful town like Newport there are buzzier places. Hotel is under construction and is drab. And despite the great sunset location, the restaurant is not oriented in that direction. Maybe it will be better come summer.

    The first thing the waitress said to us was that we were seated at a 4 person table and she was not happy about that. She was rude and not welcoming at all. If she was upset should have spoken to the host, not us. Rubbed us the wrong way. Food was ok fir the cost.

    We had excellent service from our waitress, Nordia. She was wonderful, fun, very friendly and appreciative of our business. We appreciated her very much. Food was very good, our two boys each had Tuna Poke and they loved it! My husband and I tasted a bit from them and we loved it too! So we ordered another one for us to share. We also had the sweet Chili calamari and rigatoncini braised short ribs and those were very good too, but our favorite one was the Tuna Poke. Highly recommended!

    It was great to have a place like this at the hotel. We enjoyed it. It was a little too chilly at times and occasionally food take a while. But all in all it was very nice.

    Restaurant service was slow, had to remind server to get us a second drink. Service staff seemed disengaged and not enthusiastic. Probably poor management in place. Food was ok but expensive for the overall experience. I would not go back.

    We were at the new year's party. The appetizers were good, but the open bar selection was terrible. Only two selections of red wine and two of white wine, some beer, and vodka drinks are available. I couldn't even open a tab for the drinks we wanted. VERY CHEAP OPEN BAR. We had to walk to the other bar in a different hotel location to get the drink we wanted. Embracing.

    Food was very underwhelming, mac n cheese tasted like kfraft mac n cheese. My husband tried ordering four different whiskeys, each time the server came back to inform us they were out. One of the steaks we ordered medium rare and came out very rare. The quality of food/service is not worth the cost.
