We came in Sunday evening for a small dinner and dessert and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and filled our drinks quickly. It was pretty empty when we got there but packed when we left. The food was AMAZING. We shared the short rib special and it was so good! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and bread pudding which were also sooooo good! The restaurant itself was beautiful. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely dine here again!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was - haven't had good food experiences in Newport until now. Wings are definitely the best I've had in town, service was excellent, and the entrees were pretty good. I will definitely be coming back.

Great drinks and food. Pretty quick service. It was really busy when we first showed up but the hostess was great and took our number to call us back when a table was ready so we were able to just walk around the area in the meantime instead of waiting or going elsewhere. Great atmosphere and nice live music.

I really liked it, steak tartare and escargot. And a turkey sandwich that had so much Turkey he had another sandwich to take home. Jessica was excellent even when it got busy.

Very pleasant experience, the place was rather packed by the time we left it, but when seated we were offered more private section. The food was very good and the choice of craft beer is decent. Lobster fish cakes and calamari are my favorites. Snails were more plain, would not advise. Wedge salad is good too.
