I had such a great experience here on a Friday night! Not only was the food amazing, but they also had live music, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. I ordered the grilled chicken with Caesar salad, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the salad was fresh, crisp, and topped with just the right amount of parmesan. The waiting time was awesome — my food came out quickly, and the service was friendly and attentive the whole time. The service was friendly and attentive, and the live music created such a fun and welcoming vibe. It was the perfect combination of great food, great service, and great ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends! For dessert, I had the most indulgent treat a rich

My daughter and I were walking by and saw the band duo in the window and cute bar so stopped in first a drink. The hostess was lovely and let us sit at a table even though no reservation. She suggested I go to the bar and order my own drink as it would be faster. I wish I could remember the name of the drink, because it was delicious. We did not order food because we were on our way to a different restaurant for dinner. The vibe was perfect. If we were staying in Newport longer, I would definitely go back

Enjoyed my dinner here with my parents. Our waitress was great and really sweet! I really enjoyed the board we got and the drinks, the enclosed porch was great to sit and people watch.

Stopped by this bar for some warmth on a night out for my cousins 21st and it ended up being our favorite stop. Our bar tender Riley W was so kind and just brought such an inviting and comforting aura. Really made the atmosphere of the bar so much more elevated. She was very knowledgeable with different drinks and gave my cousin recommendations on things she could order at bars (my cousin being freshly 21 was pretty clueless). It was a great experience, felt like a hidden gem. Incredible atmosphere and service, will 100% be visiting again!

Meatball Trio and colossal shrimp were excellent. Sea bass special was good once salted - very bland upon delivery, and the lobster role was inconsistent throughout - some bites were tender and buttery and others dry, chewy and lacking flavor. The smash burger (not pictured) was just ok. We received our food before drinks, had empty water glasses most of the time, and our server forgot two or three time each: silverware (we ended up taking from the server station), water, salt, and a to go box. Good location and spot for people watching through the windows.
