    Chelsea took great care of us!  we did have to wait a while to be seated because the previous party stayed talking for a while, but the staff was very attentive and apologetic. We love this place, and we will definitely be back.

    I had brunch here & absolutely loved my experience. It’s in a beautiful area of Providence, right on the water. I ordered the Roasted Vegetable Caesar Salad w/ Hanger Steak. The flavors were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a Wellness Mocktail, which was so light & refreshing. My server was very nice & attentive. They have outdoor seating & the views were amazing. This has easily become one of my favorite spots 💕

    It was delicious and the service was excellent. I’m so grateful how well they managed my son’s multiple food allergies. It means a lot. We had a wonderful time.

    Fishes were Outstanding! Salads were tremendous too. Regular Gluten pasta dishes are also delicious - non gluten missed the mark by a long shot. Love the vibe and service. Portion sizes are perfect. Not too large which keeps prices reasonable but you do not go away hungry. I love the point system of the Newport Group which creates feel of Christmas if you allow them to accumulate. The food at Waterman grille is the best in the group, in my opinion . Keep up the good work

    Excellent restaurant, but they hosted a wedding downstairs the night we visited. It made what would have been a quiet and relaxing night on the water much louder. Still a great night. Food, service, and river views were excellent.
