Felt like a bait and switch from what you see on their socials. Maybe it was just an off night for them, but the host was rude, it took 30 mins to get drinks, and if you take away the sunset over the marina it's pretty meh inside. Pricey as well.

food was good, server was friendly but the environment is unpleasing. although the restaurant was not crowded other guests were loud. will not return.

Went for Easter brunch. Great food, excellent service, fantastic drinks, brilliant view. Couldn't ask for more

We very much enjoyed Easter brunch! The food was absolutely delicious. The view was amazing. Our waiter was fantastic and the restaurant was very accommodating to a vegan diet in our party. We are from New Jersey and don't get up to Rhode Island too often but we will definitely be back the next time we visit.

The service was good, but there was no real atmosphere or music, i feel it lacks in this i have visited a few times now, the food was a little cold and the pasta was hard. my daughter ate it but did ask me to complain. Service was good and the wine and drinks were once too.

We brought our kids for lunch on a weekend and the food, view, and service were great. There wasn't a kids menu but they had options off menu (burger, chicken tenders, pasta with butter). Would go back!

The oysters were exquisite. The Chef Special of Tagliatelli with fried oysters, truffles and truffle oil blew my mind!

We LOVED the Crispy Tuna and Shrimp Tacos, but the service was the best part. Our server Siyan, was amazing. She was attentive and fun and made us feel so welcome. We also thought the igloo seating was so neat!!!

Came here for our first night in Newport, and we loved the experience. We ordered salmon with risotto and a warm lobster roll. We also got non-alcoholic beverages that were delicious! They were in the middle of painting one side, only reason for less than 5 stars.

Delicious food and drink! We had salmon and swordfish. Both cooked perfectly and presented nicely. Cauliflower app was great as well. They had a musician playing and the ambience was perfect. Great service as well!

My husband and I spent a few hours wining and dining here on a quiet afternoon. Views were beautiful and service from Holly was timely and pleasant. The music was also great! Can't wait to come back in the summer!

I was pleased to attend an alumnae engagement event at your venue. It is a great location. Wasn't thrilled with the pay by plate parking that cost over $30.00 for two hours.

The food was quite tasty and good selections for appetizers. The chicken sliders were delicious. The desserts were amazing.

The atmosphere was set up elegantly, but allowed for good socialization. It was good to learn about U-mass initiatives.

The alumnae association representatives, Steven and Danielle were quite approachable.

Yes, I enjoyed the event and look forward to other alumnae association gatherings

Waitress was great but hostess was trash. Appetizer deals were not honored and calamari and drinks were not good. Stupid hot inside of the restaurant
