The clam chowder was great! The staff was friendly and attentive, and it's located just around the corner from Rail Exploers. It's a great stop after peddling a rail cart 6 miles!
Food and service were only Mediocre. Nice location that’s the best part of the visit.
The location is pretty fun: a marina with a lively crowd after work. But that's where the positives end. The food is below average and pricey. The nachos are $15 w/o meat and just average at best. Service was pretty much non-existent. Drinks are also pricey--in the $13-$15 range on average. Worst Rum Runner I've ever had. Plenty of cheap rum in it, but just an awful taste. Ditto for the sangria. Hard to see how you could make one that awful. Like many places in the Newport area, this is a solid one and done.
Worst father's day ever!!! Party of 5, we all got sick. Service was slow, food was worst!! Never will be back, definitely will not recommend anyone to this place!!!
Food is decent and servers have all been great but the host is absolutely RUDE and that is the reason for 3 stars. He should be in the kitchen and not dealing with customers.
One of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. Multiple dishes came out burnt—not just overdone, but completely charred and inedible. When we politely brought it up, the staff rolled their eyes and acted like it was our fault. Neither the manager nor the owner made any effort to acknowledge us. For the price and the atmosphere they’re trying to present, this was incredibly disappointing. We won’t be back and don’t recommend it.
Not one to write a poor review, but if you specifically ask a question about one of the main ingredients of a dish, are answered, and the dish comes exactly the opposite of what you were told... maybe take it off the bill. A basic hospitality standard, right? Cool spot if you're not at all a foodie. Fryer food in a pretty spot.
Great food, friendly staff. Value plus! Always nice to visit the Gulf Stream. Wish they would stay open during the fall and winter.
Pricey for the portions. Calamari overcooked.

We went there for dinner on a friday night. I order the pineapple and kiwi mocktail and my partner ordered the Cosmo. The waitress was friendly. We enjoyed the drinks. We ordered the calamari and the calamari was not what we expected. It had a lemon creamy sauce and pieces of chuorico. Definitely did not taste as good as the description. I ordered the carribean chicken parm with coconut rice, black beans, and fried chicken cutlet with cheese. It did not look good and definitely did not taste good. It is the worst dish I have had at a restaurant this year and probably in the last 3 years. The rice was overcooked and mushy and had too much coconut flavor. The black beans were bland. Only took one bite of this dish because the overpowering taste of the coconut threw me off. I was expecting the waitress to ask me if I would like another dish or to remove the carribean parm off the receipt since I had a conversation with her about not enjoying the food. Instead she asks me if I want a to go box for the meal again. My partner ordered the fish and chips and that was much better. It was more flavorful I think this is a restaurant were you have to stick to the basics since they currently have some odd combinations on the menu. I am definitely not coming back here.
