Wonderful experience! Top notch food, beautiful setting with staff motivated to serve and ensure we had a nice meal. Will definitely return! Special shout out to Winnie- you made our day!

Good and service was great, it was a rainy night so we couldn't enjoy the beautiful view. However the wine list is awful, very limited selection without a lot of variety. Settled for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that was average. A restaurant of this level should have a better wine list.

It was our first dinner there since the hotel had change ownership. The service was great, our waitress was very professional. We were seated outside on the patio with a beautiful view of the bridge. The food was delicious. Great dining experience.

The wait staff at the restaurant was a 10. I have never seen such attentive staff before. The food was good but the experience was what made the evening special. I will be back there for sure

Overall we had an excellent experience. Service was amazing and very tentative. The food was very tasty as well. One thing to note is that it is a resort that allows kids so there are families around.

Service was VERY slow. All the staff was not personable or attentive. Drinks came out AFTER food.. no water refills. Restaurant is beautiful and ambiance was great. But overall disappointed with service.

It was our first time there and we enjoyed ourselves very much. The service was great - super nice server, and the mac & cheese... yum! We thought we made reservations for the firepits but that didn't show in your book. I received a confirmation with a description of the firepits included in the confirmation, so I was surprised when we checked in and told we didn't have a reservation for firepit seating. However, although we didn't get our first choice, we did enjoy our evening. It all worked out. It was very nice experience.

Got our entrees before our appetizer. When we informed the waiter, he put our entrees on another table and brought out our appetizers. Took entrees back to kitchen to sit under a heat lamp. When we finally got to our entrees, they were dried out. The wine was awful. Needless to say, we didn't stay for dessert. Stay away. Spend your money elsewhere.

Views from the deck were stunning but never received our food. Made a reservation for 10am and ordered at 10:03. 11:45 came around and no food was delivered to the table. Made several attempts to contact a member of the wait staff and got the answer of “everyone in the kitchen is lazy” and our food should be out soon. In the long run, needed to request a late checkout at the front desk in the hopes that our food arrive, but it never did. Very frustrating.

We had an excellent meal here! Amelia was so attentive and took great care of us. We both got the sea bass, which was nourishing and refreshing. The fish was cooked perfectly. Overall 10/10!

Staff was friendly. They had no bread, Wine list was "out of date" and didn't have available list of wine by the glass. Main course was cooked well, but overpriced and not a great experience overall. Sad because its a beautiful location.

We waited over 20 mins for our waiter to come, and once he did and got our drink order we began talking to someone we knew and he never returned with our drinks, until we asked for them after another 30mins. The food took over 30 for a salad & tuna? When the tuna came out it was lukewarm. The restaurant had 4 tables and with ours 5 with guests waiting for their food, would I come here again absolutely not. The pricing is what you would pay in New York for food that was lukewarm, took over 30 mins for a restaurant that had only 5 tables but 10 waiters / waitresses. Don't waste your money lots of other great places in Newport to eat at

The outside seating is very nice with fantastic views. Inside was not as nice and the music was very loud. Dessert menus were dirty. Steak was delicious but the gnocchi was dense and heavy, while the chicken was dry. Too expensive for what the food was, but you pay for the view.

We prepaid $100 for the “adult dinner experience”. The fire pits are large &wouldn't recommend for just 2 people. The lobster in the seafood tower was rough and dry. I also noted that I had a gluten allergy and asked for sauce & wonton chips for the tuna poke on the side. The tuna poke came with sauce and chips on the plate. When we finally got a new one, the tuna was actually great. The cocktails were good too. The server was very friendly but the service was extremely slow. The kicker was they have “non reserved” fire pit seating in the same area where large families were able to sit without the minimum. What's the point in pre booking & pre paying? When we got the bill, the $100 pre pay was still on the check and we had to wait even longer for the manager to remove the $100 from our bill. We will certainly be skipping this “fire pit experience” during our next visit

We invited guest to a place we have loved in the past only to be totally disappointed with the entire dinner. First we had a very tight seating for 8 people and had one extra guest, the 3 people at the hostess stand would not accommodate us with a larger table. Lots of empty tables around, then a group of 7 come and are seated at a larger table. Wait staff never brought drink menu, never asked if we wanted seconds or kept water filled. We ordered several beef dishes, not one was cooked right or was delivered to the right person. Lobster Mac and cheese was bland and watery. When we flagged someone for water she went to the hostess stand where 3 idle people started laughing at us. Our bill was over a thousand dollars, good luck to this establishment. You might be busy now during season but running a restaurant like this no one is going make an effort to travel here off season! Total disaster!
