   Despite having an appointment, the wait to be seated was longer than expected. Once at the table, it took a long time to place our order & even longer to receive our order. The food, unfortunately, was just mediocre and didn’t live up to the hype. Overall, a disappointing experience.

   Waitress was wonderful! Entire staff was amazing - kind and very attentive to our needs. Beignets are top notch and way better than what we had in NOLA! Ambience and mood romantic and fun! Thank you!

   Service was attentive and efficient but still warm and friendly. The food was all delicious and the three course fish option was a great value. The view of the bay and the holiday lights was gorgeous (we went the night BEFORE the craziness of the boat parade started). Cocktails were also A+! Highlights of the meal were the lobster Mac, the sea bass, and the bacon wrapped meatloaf with truffle mac n cheese. The desserts were also delicious and a large portion to share. 10/10 for a nice dinner experience. Will be back!

   The food was just absolutely nasty if I’m being honest. I was so excited to come there as everyone posts about it. We were just unimpressed. No flavor on anything.

   My halibut entree was cooked to death. So dry the sauce didn’t help. Grilled vegetables (cauliflower) held in suspended animation of some form and served luke warm.

   Edhen was absolutely amazing! He provided a world-class experience, handling all of our questions with patience and a genuine kindness. His attention to detail and ability to stay focused on all his tables truly stood out. There was also a lady in black who seemed a bit rude when Edhen was just making small talk with our group, but that didn't take away from our overall experience. James, the busser, was fantastic as well, he went above and beyond with his hustle. I highly recommend asking for Edhen when you're there!

    Arguably the best date/view spot in Newport! Amazing food, great scenery, and friendly workers.
