I hope enjoy special dinner with all my family. But it's not famously. It was feel regular food. Too much pasta and also too expensive!!
Amazing services! Everyone behind the bar was awesome especially Gregg! Outstanding experience! Best place in town!
Great service, perfect food and very casual atmosphere. For those who likes seafood, cant go wrong.
Went on vacation with my daughter in June 2016. Food was good. I definitely thought things were overpriced. I eat out alot, so I am not a newbie to restaurants. Example: I started with steamed mussels. They were 18.95 for the appetizer. Not worth the money since mussels are always inexpensive. They were missing something as far as taste goes. The staff was fine and helpful. But for $175.00 for 2 people, it should have been more satisfactory.
Fresh seafood prepared to perfection! Friendly, helpful staff. Our go-to place for seafood for 27 years!
Not the same as it was last season. While the new bar is great and we love Nick - we are left with wondering where all the ol' crew has gone? The food was not as good as it has been in the past. Missing fantastic chef Kerry! A bit disappointing as a native Newporter...
Fabulous fresh seafood prepared deliciously every time....
