C BSeptember 24, 2016What is good is The oysters the lobster and leek chowder and the lobster and crab meat risotto and smoked fish variety. Service was great. Tiffany was the best. Beer was great
Chris CegielskiMay 9, 2015Superb selection of oysters! Try the grilled octopus appetizer - you won't be sorry. Great service at the bar. Make sure to ask for the bread when waiting for your food 😉Upvoted Nov 23, 2024
Amanda BurdJanuary 15, 2015Just had a social gathering for coworkers on the second floor. Loved the atmosphere, the appetizers, and the layout. There's a second bar upstairs. Mini pizzas are amazing.
Benjamin 🚀November 25, 2015Great spot for some seafood. Head to the bar area for something a bit more casual and aim for 6:30 or so to beat all the crowds 😄🇺🇸.
Nate SJuly 27, 2020Yum! I was overwhelmed by the choices for dinner in Newport. I worried we’d have a mediocre dinner at a tourist trap (not the case here). Steak frites on the menu for those who don’t like seafood.
LaneAugust 23, 2013This place is beautiful! According to the bartender, the ceiling is made with beams from a barn that was condemned & the light fixtures came from an factory that was going to be demolished. Very cool!
Cristina RuizMay 28, 2015Mahi sandwich is a bit spicy with the chipotle aioli and a lot delicious with the tender fish and guac.
Kareem WashingtonMarch 8, 2014Great atmosphere! You should stick with drinks and oysters from the raw menu. Ordering dinner from the entree menu is pricey.
Gigi YuMay 19, 2016Food is soooo good here!! Super fresh oysters and the lump crab meat cocktail is a must try.
- Jenny CuiMay 30, 2017Really good food. Service is a bit slow when busy. The oysters are expensive, but the best we've had on our trip.
Shawn RemingApril 5, 2017Great food, great service. The scallop crude was delicious. The Oyster burger was unique and also delicious
Meredith GrahamMay 4, 2014Live music here is amazing! Totally made my night. The food and atmosphere are great, too. Great for larger parties!
Amazing spot. Make a reservation. It gets packed. If it's nice get one of the outside decks.
Marc VMay 24, 2014Great apps and drinks... gets loud at night and service is a little slow. Sit at the bar and if your lucky Tim will be working.
Great oysters! Two different bars to sit at, which are both a lot of fun.
sydney sFebruary 25, 2015Good selection of draft and bottles craft beers, plus all the usual suspects. Service sucks if your not a 40 year old hot mom...
My favorite place in Newport. Great beer, service, food and entertainment.
Sandee CanSeeAugust 24, 2014Stop pass for a drink and some oysters.. Great atmosphere.. Standby for food rating.
food definitely varies by day...late Sun lunch was awesome, tues lunch was beyond subpar. lots of frozen seafood is used.
Mike BraniganJuly 29, 2013Check out the deck on the top floor (next to the accessible toilets? Up two flights of stairs)
Stephanie JJune 24, 2013Heather's tale is delicious & you can even eat the hibiscus flower they put in it 👌
Brandon O'NealJuly 8, 2013Good crowd. The service was slow. The door man said the wait for a table was 1.5 hours but in fact it was only 15 min. The sweeper took a full glass of wine from our table but kindly replaced it.
Jennifer KristenAugust 4, 2013Awesome atmosphere, and a great crowd but terrible menu and slow service
Jay FrailsAugust 26, 2013Don't get fish and chip or the code fish. Bland bland bland.....they sat us at a table with no wait staff assigned. Three other guest came in was seated and was served before us. First in last served.
A. TemnikovaMay 9, 2017Food tasted weird. Specially oyster burger was unsalted and the onions were over cooked
Food... but it just takes forever to get your food
