You must have the lobster mc&🧀. Regardless if you are staying or not.

The staff seems friendly, and responsive, until it comes to the food. I ordered the Fish & Chips, but wasn’t planning to eat 2 lbs of fries and the smallest piece of fish in U.S. History. Especially in Rhode Island. At that point the staff seemed to not care, but willing to sell you something else. It is all about the money apparently. Overpriced food and drinks for this.

Food was pretty pricey but good. I liked the burger and tater tots. Waitress stephanie was nice. We loved the view , however the bucket trucks outside the deck ruin the view, looks awful parked out there.
This place was nice, just has a small deck and is located at marriot (beautiful hotel I must say).

Good beer and wine selection and one of best water views in Newport.

Went three times and one time there were so many fruit flies that a guy not in our group covered his bourbon to keep them out.

This place is usually good but the last 2 times I’ve been here to eat I spent most of my dinner swatting drain flies. They need a good exterminator and maybe I’ll

Sat on the deck watching the cruise ship folks stand in line in the sun for an hour or so. Tour guide Rick Steves always says don't be in such a rush, find a nice cafe, set, enjoy the afternoon. You know the time for the last pickup. Had the fish & chips - two large chunks of fish and plenty of fries. Topped off with some very good lemonade. All the time socking in the sun and people watching.
