Impeccable service. Pleasant atmosphere. Slightly better than average food quality. If you're a foodie, there are much better choices on the wharf and in the Newport area.

What a thoroughly disappointing dinner from start to finish. Every dish, without exception, was drastically underseasoned. The quality of the ingredients was pretty good, but everything was much more palatable once we added a bit of salt, We were told by the maitre'd that the chef likes to serve dishes with minimal seasoning and let the diner choose how to add flavor, yet diners have to ask for salt to be brought to the table. When the restaurant called to confirmed the reservation that afternoon, they were quite stern about the dress code, however, there were numerous diners in golf shirts, jeans and sneakers. The amuse bouche was dropped on the table without an explanation, and we had to flag down a server to tell us what it was. We ordered two rounds of appetizers so we could try a wider variety of dishes, and we were not yet finished with our second round when the entrees were brought to the table, and the appetizer dishes were cleared without our being able to finish them. Perhaps most disturbing was the disgustingly filthy white jackets worn by some of the servers, as well as the unprofessional bus staff, one of whom actually sat down at a table to set it. There is literally no reason in this day and age for service staff to be wearing tuxedos with white dinner jackets, especially at an open-air restaurant on a busy wharf, but if that's how you roll, at least wear clean uniforms. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

The restaurant was not full, and we waited an hour+ for our entrees, no appetizers. Like another formerly top tier Newport restaurant, they have slipped.

In spite of the heavy influx of seasonal guests, the restaurant maintains a level of service and quality that is on par with the best fine dining locations and is heads above the other similar establishments in Newport. The view and location adds to the energy and excitement of the place.
