excellent waterfront dining – I can not believe anyone wouldn't think the Mooring is a great place. It has a great waterfront dining room, indoors and out. The food is always amazing, we eat here several times a month, being locals. We always bring out of town guests here, you can't beat the view. The service is usually great and the as I said we are never dissapointed with the food. The halibut with pistatios and scallop chowder are terrific, as are the lobster spring rolls and bag of donuts. The wine list is extesive with ... read more
dinner is over priced – a great spot, it used to be a better spot before it was enlarged. dinner food is way overpriced. i only go for lunch
Bad Night to go - will try again another time! – My husband & I decided to come to this place on a Thursday night (730ish) mostly to avoid the weekend 'rush'. We were not seated right away and there were PLENTY of open tables available. We waited at the bar and we weren't even noticed until maybe 5 minutes later. Got 2 beers to ease out the wait which set us back almost 10 bucks. After about 20 minutes we are seated under the canopy area looking over the harbor but on the upper deck. Chairs were uncomfortable. Waiter was ter... read more
Don't Miss the Scallop Chowder – I found this restaurant through opentable dot com and I am glad I went. I had the scallop chowder which was flavorful. The broth was more thin like soup than thick like chowder but the flavor was there. I had the surf and turf for dinner which had an amazing mushroom demi glace. The shrimp were dry but not terrible. My filet mignon was cooked just the way I wanted it. I would eat here again if in the area but I would order something else, only to try a new item. I would order dessert next tim... read more
I trust no other in Newport! – I was a little baffled by the other 2 reviews, The Mooring is practically the only place I will go in Newport. I average 1-2 times per month, but with a little one it's hard! It is the same chef since 2003, and the renovation has allowed the menu to shine! Pricing is average, and the menu is all day, so you can grab a beer and sandwich on a busy Saturday night and be out the door for under $20! Not many places in Newport can do that. I do, though, now avoid Saturday and Friday nights because it... read more
Avoid the summer months – The Mooring has undergone an extensive renovation that actually opens up the back bar area to wonderful views of the water. The walls that once enclosed the back bar have been removed and now afford views of the dining area. Being a local I avoid this place in the summer, go in the winter months for a far better experience. I do believe the food has suffered since the reopening, not up to the same standards. I prefer to sit at the bar for a burger or sandwich. The meals can be average and in a touri... read more
Pass this one by!!! – Their once great menu has turned mediocre! The regular chef must have been replaced....food is being served undercooked, overly greasy and certainly not deserving of the high prices. Three of the five dinners we ordered could not be eaten (soaked in grease, or undercooked) I have heard similar stories from other tourists who have eaten there. At one time, I thought very highly of this restaurant, and I was surprised to find it has changed so dramatically. At this time I would not recommend The Mooring..... read more
One of Newport's finest waterfront restaurants provides water views from the heart of downtown's historic district. – In Short Whether seated in the inviting Harborview Room or breezy rear patio, diners enjoy fresh local seafood and selections from an award-winning wine list. The chummy bar area's a great spot for solo diners--there's a flat-screen TV--looking to sample from the gourmet raw bar. Among starters, a "bag of doughnuts" (lobster, crab and shrimp fritters with chipotle-maple aioli) demonstrates the kitchen's creat... read more
Great Seafood! – I am from Memphis and was in Newport for business. I stayed at the Mariott and found it be nice. Great workout room. Anyway, the frontdesk recommended the Mooring. It was a short walk, in the snow! But, the restaurant is very inviting. The service was great. And the food was wonderful. I had the "bucket of mussels", the clam chowder and the seafood caserole special. It was full of flavor and just what I wanted. I'd visit them again.
