Our server was outstanding. Knowledgeable about the drinks and menu.

Really enjoyed the experience. This was new for us. our waitress, Ashley, was outstanding!

We had a very early reservation (because we had young kids with us, and we’re causing most of the noise!) and the staff and service could not have been better. Will absolutely be back to check out the cocktail space.

We have never had a bad meal here before! Last night was not good - but we will give it another chance because it has been consistently good up til then.

The service and food was amazing rhe staff was so attentive and kind! Everything we ordered was fast abs efficient and delicious !! I recommend to everyone and will for sure be back

Imaginative menu and drinks, well executed. Enjoyed’

We chose this restaurant because they have a few nice looking vegan options. I ordered the veggie wrap and it was way over sauced with a spicy sauce, that was tasty, just way too much. I’d get the sauce on the side with this one. Otherwise, it was very fresh. I also got the sautéed snap peas which were great. My husband got a chicken wrap which he said was very good and had a very generous amount of chicken. Overall a good spot for some casual fare. Just go easy on that chili sauce!

Very interesting design and decor. Service was just ok. We weren’t checked on as much as I would of hoped. A decent amount of options for gluten free. We had the mushroom risotto and it was just ok. We also had raw oysters but there was lots of shell in them. They weren’t Shucked well.

The service and the food was poor at best. My son received his dinner about 20 minutes after the rest of the table. The salmon was raw in the middle. The air conditioning was non-existent and their were flies circling the table. My wife noted the deplorable bathroom condition, so we got the high-priced check and got out of there. From a person who has lived in Newport for over 20 years, go to the Mooring, 22 Bowen, Smokehouse or any other place as this is not the place to have dinner. You may spend a little more, but it will be worth it. I would hope there would be a call back from management on this but I’m not holding my breath. Worst dining experience of the year.

Loved this restaurant ! The duck wings were incredible!!
