Jay Eagleson

We sat at the bar on the pier . Great views and right in the middle of the action. There is limited seating , but if you get a seat, you're set.

Mirella Broyles

Lobsters are $30 a pound, yikes!. My ribeye was cooked medium rare, perfect and delicious! Our service could have been more smiles, but other staff was friendly .

Amy D., bartender...was exceptional. Polite professional very knowledgeable . And personable. Rack of lamb and steak was outstanding. So is crème brûlée dessert

Anthony Cameron

Fantastic seafood , the sides were delicious as were the cheese board and shrimp (huge!). Service here was great and very good at catering for gluten free .

Edgar E

Delmonico was fabulous. Accompanied by a Portuguese red wine and lemon blueberry creme brûlée made for a great dinner .

Jake Smith

The Atlantic Salmon with Gnocchi was excellent, I just wished the Gnocchi serving was larger. A very nice restaurant to dine for a special occasion .

Stephen Sacchetti

Very fine dining . Plenty of space though. Between the main dining room and bar , the upstairs lounge and bar , and the outside deck area; you should manage to get a seat.

Brooks Doyne

Great staff . Nice atmosphere. Food was fabulous and the menu was great. One of the best in Newport for sure. Highly recommend

veronica prager

The outdoor bar is definitely the way to go. Great drinks/service & full menu. The only challenge is grabbing your spot.

Mike Nickerson

The freshest calamari I've had in new england! Sit on the outdoor patio on the water, order a bottle of wine , and enjoy the night.

Mary Llorente

Great price fix menu sun-thurs $19.95..had clam chowder , grilled salmon over barley risotto with a goat cheese croquette and cranberry , then creme brulee w. cookies . Also, oysters were good.

Nick Rojas

The shellfish platter appetizer was great and the steak was delicious.

Polina L

Cool bar and delicious food! Location is central and is a nice walk.

Christine Perkett

Get steak and accompany it with the truffled tater tots . If you don't, you haven't lived.

David Smith

Had lunch with Mom, food was good, pleasant view of boats by water

Naomi Giuda

Everything is good! The steak especially though.

Kevin DaRosa

Great sangria but don't wear a tank top or they give you wear an XXXL white Tshirt to cover up!!!

Anthony

The chefs here should learn how to cook a steak . Red center does not mean medium well . You shouldn't need to butterfly it to know better.

Heba Abdella

Excellant meat and great service.

Ashley Narayan

Good food and good service . Lunch prices are very reasonable.

Don Peppers

Bea outside the restaurant with "Smiley Face Moon" behind her

Trevor

Great outdoor bar

Jordan Teich

Food is fantastic but be aware. Portions are HUGE.

Charita Johnson

Sit outside upstairs, great people watching . I was very underwhelmed by the food. Flavorless.

Patrick Baskin

A bit expensive for the food, but if cost isn't an issue it's delicious

Renee Conrad

Tuna tartare and chowder...perfection.

Kristina P

Get a drink outside

merici vinton

Tasteless food (fritters , chopped salad , brussels sprouts , mac n cheese ). And bored/bad service.

Sean O'Reilly

Nice setting, expensive but average food, sensitive waitstaff . Our waitress needed a debriefing after we called out the undercooked steak .

Jenn Schwartz

Lobster is pricey & just so-so. Get more surf & turf for less $ at The Mooring down the block.

Dan Moriarty

Ask for Cheri, the bartender and order the "special fist", not to be missed, 86 the sauce

Melissa Cottle

Chelsey makes the best stoli doli sit at the bar .

Bryan Meckley

They let us have our dog on the patio

Elliot Miller

Lobster salad

Merih Yurtkuran

Crab Cakes

The mixed drinks here are huge.

They do run out of lobster . Get it when you can.

Lots of shops and bars with a great view. Great drinking spot but standard fare. For a dinner gem, take a short wall across the street to Perro Salado, best food in Newport hands down. - Russell Hirschorn
