   oh my, this place that's just so gorgeous, was such a DISAPPOINTMENT on our last visit. From a server who was soooo inexperienced (not his fault but the responsibility of management) so as to be totally unprepared for FINE DINING, to food that was merely edible...such a far cry from what a place of this caliber (and it's commensurate price point, I starting with a waiter sooo inexperienced as to be totally inept (not his fault, but that of management, I might add) to food that was at best mediocre. We're locals who have had wonderful experiences dining here and then others like our most recent-sub standard to the edge of inedible..consistency is the name of the game, especially when you're aiming to be a top tier dining place in a chic resort. Too bad, we wanted for you to be our "special event place"

   One of our favorite restaurants in Newport. Love the bar area for dining and the patio in the summer is number one!

   Food okay. The staff were obnoxiously snooty - as opposed to the phenomenal meal at Castle Hill, which is just as upper echelon, but the staff were warm and friendly.

   Beautiful setting, excellent service and delicious food. It inspires Champagne and romance. It was not intimidating, as some “special occasion” places can be. It was relaxed elegance. Loved it.

    Second visit. A bit disappointed. We were told they have a new head chef so expected it to be as good as last time. Service exceptional (but why the need for so many? One greeted us at the table and never saw him again!). Amuse bouche was delicious as was the pork belly starter. My duck breast was tough and undercooked. Plating kind of barren. Still location is stunning. Have a drink beforehand or after on the lawn.
