There is a nice outdoor patio area upstairs, during the colder months it's heated and enclosed. The Rhode Island style clam chowder is a cream less New England style chowder .

Betty

Great casual spot with well flavored, inexpensive food! Had the fisherman's platter ($23) and Delmonico steak ($25) on the second floor. Left stuffed!

Jennifer Russo

Not on the drink menu but on a cold winters day (aka tonight) a "hot totty" was just the thing. Had mine with Captains cinnamon apple tea . Strong, but that's how this drink should be. Yum.

Eryn Braue

Sit at the downstairs bar and get the littlenecks. So fresh and delicious. The pineapple infused vodka is also a must.

Sadie Hawkins

Calamari was delicious, just keep in mind that it is mixed with hidden banana peppers

Joseph McCarthy

This is one of my favorite spots in Newport. The raw bar is awesome as is the calamari . Make sure to check out the happy hour raw bar deals!

Lindsay Bigs

Foodiespr

Love The Lobster grilled Cheese full Of Flavor and satisfying heavy!

Brooks Doyne

Everyday between 12-2 $1 oysters and 50 cent clams . Def get a bar seat and stick to the oysters . Very fresh. Clams were a bit too big for me.

They don't serve seafood of any sort during brunch ! Brunch food is your typical diner food although this is a seafood restaurant .

Rachel Thomas

Oysters are amazing! Also, definitely try the seafood casserole . Amazing!

Brian Malanson

You just. Can't beat the Happy hour raw bar from 12-2 daily!

Tad Wilson

Breakfast was great but the corned beef hash was mostly potato .

Jamie Palmer

Check out raw bar Tuesday's! Visit Jamin, Jake and Christian.....great bartenders . Tell them Jmie sent you!

Jennifer B

Some of the best oysters I have ever had (from the raw bar ). Mmmmmmm.

Jennifer B

Awesome fish & chips ! I keep coming back year after year for them.

Arjun

Great strawberry French toast . Unfortunately no real maple syrup .

Richard

Their raw bar was just ok, but then again they were a dollar each. Id just stick to the oysters as their cocktail shrimp was a bit dry and clams were too fishy for my liking. Calamari was superb.

Dan Shallow

Lobster rolls

Derek Skaletsky

Bloody Mary's (with a shrimp in it) & eggs Benedict . Two beautiful things. Highly recommend...
