I was in town for a wedding at the Chanler and stopped in for a few cocktails before hand. Very nice place! Tim at the bar was excellent! I'll definitely go back!

Great variety and always fresh raw bar. And their not full of pieces of shell after shucking so it goes down clean and smooth. One of the best spots around if you like a raw bar and good food 

Business response:

Josh, we're all about enhancing those natural flavors, so I'm glad you've always enjoyed our fresh raw bar. Hope to see you soon for some more oysters! -Charlie, General Manager

Absolutely fantastic. Delicious food - we had the Wicked Shrimp, a selection of oysters, the oyster chowder and lobster rolls. Everything, including the service, was impeccable. It's a MUST! Be prepared to spend some money but you are worth it! Enjoy the BEST! We only get one life people - stop looking for a bargain and live it up! Awesome experience! 

Business response:

It's wicked you so enjoyed that shrimp dish, Barbara, and I'm glad everything else was a hit with you, too. What's more, saying our service was impeccable speaks volumes, and I'm thrilled to hear that. I hope to see you again soon! -Charlie, General Manager

Not one to complain to management, BUT today I was slightly annoyed with the way certain things were handled. Our food had been ordered for about 45 min when the server came back and told us that a certain item wasn't available. At this point we were very hungry and slightly annoyed. We ordered something different and it came up within minutes. Some of the food was cold but all in all it was delicious. We told the manager our problem and he was more than willing to try and accommodate our needs. Had it not been for the hiccu... read more

Business response:

I'm sorry for those hiccups in service, Dee, and I can understand it's frustrating when a menu item runs out -- especially since you were waiting on it. As for some of the other dishes coming out cold, please know that isn't typical during service, and I'm glad we were able to fix some of those issues in the moment. I really hope to welcome you back soon to show you an overall wonderful experience. Thanks! -Charlie, General Manager

My wife and I have been, many times, to the Midtown Oyster Bar. It's our favorite restaurant in Newport. Great food (best oysters in R.I.) with great service, usually. Yesterday was a little off though. Everything seemed rushed. We just wanted to sit in the bar area and have a few drinks and oysters. But it seemed we were pressured over and over to consider the full menu and order food. Also, we weren't even finished with two separate orders of oysters and servers came over a few times ready to take them away. Seemed like th... read more

Business response:

John, I really appreciate your feedback, and I'm sorry if you felt rushed by the team here. As you know, that isn't typical, so I'm disappointed that happened. I hope to welcome you both back soon for some more oysters and drinks -- cheers! -Charlie, General Manager

Food was exceptional, unfortunately the portion size left us feeling hungry by the end of our meal. Our server forgot about us as we waited 45 minutes before we had to ask her for a dessert menu. Disappointing.
