Great service, right on the wharf and all the food is impeccably prepared- started with scallop chowder & seafood donuts , for entree had the boiled lobster (even available at lunchtime)

EArchitect

Everything was amazing. The Grand Seafood Platter at $69 didn't satiate my appetite so I ordered the signature "bag of donuts ," battered clumps of lobster , crabmeat & clams deep-fried to perfection.

Joe C

A bit pricey , but the service here is top notch and the quality is absolutely worth the premium. Freshest Sole I've ever had. The tuna tartare and seafood pasta are also great.

C B

The variety of oysters are impressive as well as delicious. Joe flowers manager/chef knows what he is doing ..he puts out some great dishes and is friendly and creative

Allison Vella

The (open-faced) Crab Salad BLT was very good though wish I could have eaten it like a regular sandwich to get it all in one bite. Had the cheesecake too; YUM. Service was good. Left very satiated!

Ashley Rose

Savory donuts to star: the bag of donuts is a crowd pleasure. Skip the scallops chowder but get anything with lobster . So sweet and tasty.

Meg Farmer

the seafood tower was impressive, and great to share to start with our group. Tuna was fresh, scallops were banging. great outdoor seating as well . Lobster croissant was the best thing we ate.

Thomas Keating

Love their award winning scallop and corn chowder , bag of donuts , oysters , ahi tuna and wine . Great anytime of the year, but best in the summer when you can enjoy the deck.

Angie Jenie

Absolute fun! Amazing cold platter. The fish n chips are great. The lobster roll especially good! The donut bag was delicious too.

Foursquare City Guide

Their lobster croissant is one of the best lobster rolls in the US, but you should also try the "Bag of Doughnuts " and any of the local beers on tap .

Jose Taveras

The lobster roll is a must. He quality is very good, not dry and the softness of the bread and all the ingredients together. Service is top notch, very attentive and very clean place.

Freshest seafood . Recommend the steamed lobster , prawns , and chowder ! Cocktails can take a pass- shouldve done wine . Excellent service .

AmateurConcierge

Solid dining option right on the marina really makes you feel New England-y. Order some chowder , but not just for effect it's actually delicious. Skip the lobster croissant....a bit too plain.

Jessica

Everything was delicious!! From the oysters to the Portuguese cod with littleneck calms ! Tres leches dessert was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend and come again!

C B

Had lunch today . Had. Raw oysters ..scallop Wellington and Mussels Zuppa . Sat at the bar .. bartender Mike was attentive and professional. He was a nice Manan. Atmosphere is very inviting....

Raphael Langenscheidt

View outdoes the food - which is saying something because the clam chowder and sole are fantastic. Come here for the view , but definitely stay for food, cocktails and great service.

Donna Jaronczyk

Loved the scallops chowder and bag of donuts . Lobster roll was filled with sweet libster chunks. Hubby's fish and chips were the best.

Justin Turetsky

Services and food are awesome. Best affordable lunch or dinner you will find in Newport. Plus a great location on the water.

C B

The beef carpaccio the clam chowder the oysters are all out standing. The atmosphere the waitstaff ... Matt the bartender ...all professional polite and gracious

Julia S.

Ask for the vegetarian and glutenfree menu if one of your party doesn't like seafood . They have great, tasty options. Lobster roll was very fresh and delicious.

Jay Eagleson

One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Everytime I'm in Newport, this is a must stop. Great spot to bring your girlfriend whether you sit down or eat at the bar .

Sarah G

Great food and service. One of the only family friendly places on the Thames strip. Wine selection is fabulous. So go, get some wine & oysters doe yourself, and garlic mashed potatoes for the kids.

Great meal.. yellow fin tuna cooked perfectly, home made gnocchi and great wait staff made for a wonderful dinner . Couldn't ask for a better birthday dinner for my wife

Mike Neilan

Went here for my girlfriends birthday dinner and it was amazing. The food was so fresh, drinks were great, and the customer service was excellent.

Silvia Acosta

Highlights: Portuguese cod , lobster , clam chowder . You can’t go wrong with any of the seafood basically. Really great restaurant and service is impeccable.

The Portuguese Roasted Cod was delicious! Amazing grilled bread with each dish. Also, great gluten-free options/menu and very attentive for severe allergies.

Bag of donuts , baked Portuguese cod , seafood pasta , and a bottle of wine wine will basically change your life. Amazing!

Great food, service, atmosphere. I recommend the coriander crusted swordfish or the Portuguese cod . Great Martini , as well .

Ariane

Can’t go wrong with anything. Best Clam Chowder and oysters I’ve ever had.

John Breznen

Amazing scallop chowder ! While they have great seafood don't overlook the chicken , and a don't forget their surprisingly great cappuccino !

Aleksey

Very nice (although a bit pricey ) restaurant in Newport. I love their scallops , oysters and beer selection .

Jeiran Hasan

Doughnuts are filling so best to share with many people instead of just 2! Scallops were delicious and prices were very reasonable

Bryan Sexton

The wonderful Grand Shellfish Sampler is half-price on Wednesday during the winter!

Willem Van Lancker

If you can't get a table in the restaurant , head over to the bar . It's on the water, the crowd is more fun, and it still serves the full menu.

Ollie Cartwright

Great beer selection . Busy so make sure you book

Arefin Qazi

Crab cake , bag of doughnuts and the lobster croissant = one amazing meal and bring your fat boy pants because the portions quite sizeable.

Nick Rojas

Great apps, and the spicy seafood pasta was delicious. treat yourself and top it off with some lobster !

Rob Howe

A solid, dependable favorite. In the summer it feels a little bit like a "factory", but we dine here every visit to NPT. Great for lunch in off season!

Fabulous! Love the black fish ... Our server Pam best ever! She paid incredible attention to us. Food was great ... I highly recommend.
