Everything was amazing. The Grand Seafood Platter at $69 didn't satiate my appetite so I ordered the signature "bag of donuts," battered clumps of lobster, crabmeat & clams deep-fried to perfection.

Great service, right on the wharf and all the food is impeccably prepared- started with scallop chowder & seafood donuts, for entree had the boiled lobster (even available at lunchtime)

A bit pricey, but the service here is top notch and the quality is absolutely worth the premium. Freshest Sole I've ever had. The tuna tartare and seafood pasta are also great.

The variety of oysters are impressive as well as delicious. Joe flowers manager/chef knows what he is doing ..he puts out some great dishes and is friendly and creative

The (open-faced) Crab Salad BLT was very good though wish I could have eaten it like a regular sandwich to get it all in one bite. Had the cheesecake too; YUM. Service was good. Left very satiated!

Savory donuts to star: the bag of donuts is a crowd pleasure. Skip the scallops chowder but get anything with lobster. So sweet and tasty.
Meg FarmerJuly 28, 2015
the seafood tower was impressive, and great to share to start with our group. Tuna was fresh, scallops were banging. great outdoor seating as well. Lobster croissant was the best thing we ate.

Been here 5+ times
Love their award winning scallop and corn chowder, bag of donuts, oysters, ahi tuna and wine. Great anytime of the year, but best in the summer when you can enjoy the deck.

The beef carpaccio the clam chowder the oysters are all out standing. The atmosphere the waitstaff... Matt the bartender ...all professional polite and gracious

Absolute fun! Amazing cold platter. The fish n chips are great. The lobster roll especially good! The donut bag was delicious too.

Freshest seafood. Recommend the steamed lobster, prawns, and chowder! Cocktails can take a pass- shouldve done wine. Excellent service.

Solid dining option right on the marina really makes you feel New England-y. Order some chowder, but not just for effect it's actually delicious. Skip the lobster croissant....a bit too plain.

Their lobster croissant is one of the best lobster rolls in the US, but you should also try the "Bag of Doughnuts" and any of the local beers on tap.

Had lunch today . Had. Raw oysters..scallop Wellington and Mussels Zuppa. Sat at the bar .. bartender Mike was attentive and professional. He was a nice Manan. Atmosphere is very inviting....
Donna JaronczykNovember 26, 2018
Loved the scallops chowder and bag of donuts. Lobster roll was filled with sweet libster chunks. Hubby's fish and chips were the best.
Raphael LangenscheidtFebruary 15, 2015
View outdoes the food - which is saying something because the clam chowder and sole are fantastic. Come here for the view, but definitely stay for food, cocktails and great service.
Justin TuretskyAugust 12, 2015
Services and food are awesome. Best affordable lunch or dinner you will find in Newport. Plus a great location on the water.
Jose TaverasJuly 27, 2020
The lobster roll is a must. He quality is very good, not dry and the softness of the bread and all the ingredients together. Service is top notch, very attentive and very clean place.
JessicaJuly 3, 2017
Everything was delicious!! From the oysters to the Portuguese cod with littleneck calms! Tres leches dessert was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend and come again!
Julia S.May 17, 2016
Ask for the vegetarian and glutenfree menu if one of your party doesn't like seafood. They have great, tasty options. Lobster roll was very fresh and delicious.
Sarah GSeptember 16, 2012
Great food and service. One of the only family friendly places on the Thames strip. Wine selection is fabulous. So go, get some wine & oysters doe yourself, and garlic mashed potatoes for the kids.
Edgar ESeptember 15, 2015
Bag of donuts, baked Portuguese cod, seafood pasta, and a bottle of wine wine will basically change your life. Amazing!
Jay EaglesonOctober 12, 2015
One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Everytime I'm in Newport, this is a must stop. Great spot to bring your girlfriend whether you sit down or eat at the bar.
Silvia AcostaMay 26, 2019
Highlights: Portuguese cod, lobster, clam chowder. You can’t go wrong with any of the seafood basically. Really great restaurant and service is impeccable.
Jessica FerronSeptember 8, 2015
The Portuguese Roasted Cod was delicious! Amazing grilled bread with each dish. Also, great gluten-free options/menu and very attentive for severe allergies.
MeganMarch 30, 2013
I could eat the Pork Belly appetizer for every meal.
Jennifer CzerniakAugust 8, 2011

Went here for my girlfriends birthday dinner and it was amazing. The food was so fresh, drinks were great, and the customer service was excellent.
Willem Van LanckerAugust 6, 2015
If you can't get a table in the restaurant, head over to the bar. It's on the water, the crowd is more fun, and it still serves the full menu.
Debbie LudvigsonJune 28, 2015
Great restaurant. Both food and service were top notch. Try the seafood pasta, bag of donuts, scallops...you can't go wrong.
John RossAugust 20, 2018
Great food, service, atmosphere. I recommend the coriander crusted swordfish or the Portuguese cod. Great Martini, as well.
Jeiran HasanMay 27, 2016
Doughnuts are filling so best to share with many people instead of just 2! Scallops were delicious and prices were very reasonable
Jake CohenSeptember 3, 2017
One of the best seafood meals I've ever had. Cold seafood tower and scallops were amazing.
Bryan SextonDecember 6, 2017
The wonderful Grand Shellfish Sampler is half-price on Wednesday during the winter!
Marc VMay 23, 2014
Great meal.. yellow fin tuna cooked perfectly, home made gnocchi and great wait staff made for a wonderful dinner. Couldn't ask for a better birthday dinner for my wife
Nick RojasDecember 20, 2021
Great apps, and the spicy seafood pasta was delicious. treat yourself and top it off with some lobster!
John BreznenSeptember 2, 2013
Amazing scallop chowder! While they have great seafood don't overlook the chicken, and a don't forget their surprisingly great cappuccino!
Arefin QaziApril 19, 2014
Crab cake, bag of doughnuts and the lobster croissant = one amazing meal and bring your fat boy pants because the portions quite sizeable.
Buzz MooreOctober 14, 2013
Fabulous! Love the black fish... Our server Pam best ever! She paid incredible attention to us. Food was great ... I highly recommend.
AlekseyAugust 20, 2015
Very nice (although a bit pricey) restaurant in Newport. I love their scallops, oysters and beer selection.
ArianeJune 29, 2020
Can’t go wrong with anything. Best Clam Chowder and oysters I’ve ever had.
Rob HoweDecember 4, 2011
A solid, dependable favorite. In the summer it feels a little bit like a "factory", but we dine here every visit to NPT. Great for lunch in off season!
Al WAugust 11, 2016
Get a drink and oysters. All of our main seafood dishes were way over cooked. The oysters however, were amazing.
Michelle AhlborgJuly 6, 2013
Unbelievable shaved sirloin lobster slider, seriously the best!!!! A must try
Russell CaluriAugust 19, 2023
Try to sit outside it has an awesome view. Enjoyed the cod and redfish entrees
Udi BaumanApril 25, 2017

Excellent place for seafood with great views of Newport Harbor.
Ollie CartwrightJuly 24, 2018
Great beer selection. Busy so make sure you book
Jen WMarch 21, 2010
The clam chowder is perfect and the ahi tuna appetizer is light and delicious. The big bar on the right is a great place to hang out with friendly bartenders and get some tips from the locals.
MikeAugust 23, 2020
