This is one of my sister in law's favorite bars in Newport, so we came in here while we were in…read moretown on vacation. We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere!

I like bar food and sports, so I went to Mutt Lynch's about twice in one week since hockey playoffs…read moreare this time of year. Their food isn't too bad especially if you want to watch sports, enjoy greasy food with a friend, or need a quick bite after a beach day. I think kids are allowed until a certain time (but I'm not sure when) cos once the sun sets, they have a bouncer checking IDs. Lots of seating available. Service is ok. When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh.

Came here for a friend's birthday and had such a great experience! All of the staff were so nice…read moreand friendly, and they answered any questions we had about the menu. I tried the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. I wasn't sure if it came with a side or if I had to ask for one, but either way, the meal was really good. The only small thing was that the syrup was a little too sweet for me, but honestly that might just be a me thing. The scenery was beautiful and the ocean view made the experience even better. The staff also brought out small beignets for the birthday girl, which was such a sweet gesture. I would 100% come back!

We visited on Mother's Day and our final bill plus tips was $140 total, which we signed and paid at…read morethe restaurant. Later, when checking our bank transaction, we discovered the charge had been changed to $149.90 after we left without authorization or knowledge! We never authorized a higher total, and this was extremely concerning to see afterward on our banking statement. It gave the impression that the amount may have been altered after payment was completed. We were sitting outside, if I remember correctly the server's name is Mary. This completely damaged our trust in the billing process. We recommend customers carefully review their posted transactions after dining here.

I did not know that on the weekends they have bottomless champagne brunch. After taking a look at the menu i was sad i did not see clam chowder in a bread bowl available on the menu. I asked our waitress Kristina if it would be possible to get that. She advised me that it is only available after 3:30pm. To my disappointment i had to chose something else that was on the menu. While we were waiting for our food Kristina approached me and said she talked to the chef and they will be able to prepare some for me if i still want. I was very happy that they could accommodate my wish. Big shout out to Kristina for going out of her way.

She made the entire event feel seamless and stress-free. Our party was a surprise celebration, and thanks to Bridget, it was perfect.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fantastic, and they truly made the night feel so special. I highly recommend Woody's for any event, and if you get the chance to work with Bridget, you'll be in amazing hands.

I was conflicted on writing this review. Normally, I don't post if it wasn't anything less than…read moregreat (especially for small businesses) but I had to share this experience. This has nothing to do with the food and the service. Our server was wonderful and accommodating. The food was quite good and we would have visited again. The rudeness of the owner was beyond words. We were seated with 4 kids and 6 adults. My child is 4 and was hitting his utensils on the table to make music. The owner immediately reprimanded him. She suggested giving the kids pencils and papers as an activity. I thought that was a great idea and said, "yes please". My son, like most children, began hitting his utensils again while waiting. When she saw, she said she would not give the kids the activity if they didn't stop. She then proceeded to snatch all utensils from the kids. I should have said something at that point but I didn't want to ruin the mood. We were celebrating my nephews 8th birthday. After that incident, my husband went up and gave her a suggestion about their menu. He was getting something from the car and didn't witness what happened with the utensils. He has a hard time reading and told her. She proceeded to say, "well we have 5 stars. Then added sarcastically, "well Happy Mother's Day to you too." Rude and uncalled for. I am not good with confrontation and we should have left the restaurant. However, I did not want to penalize our waitress and the other staff who have been great. The owner ultimately left the hostess area but I could hear her telling others that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Obviously that was directed at us. I like to give people the benefit of doubt but not from this type of treatment. She might have had a bad day but you can't act on emotions as a business owner. The thought also crossed my mind that she may have been racist. Needless to say, our birthday lunch was ruined and we couldn't help but discuss the treatment. Our waitress apologized on behalf of the owner but that was seriously inexcusable.

Went here for a dinner date on a Friday night and boy was it busy. Luckily, we had reservations…read moresince this place is quite small and intimate. The crowd was mostly an older one but rowdy nonetheless having a great time with their cocktails. It was super dark inside but it certainly projected a romantic vibe. The cocktails were super delicious and I particularly liked the Endless Summer but it was a pretty penny since it was served with Clase Azul tequila. What we ate: Roasted Beet Terrine - while not visually appealing as a terrine (looked like cube of glob), it was delicious nonetheless, and what you would expect out out of roasted beet salad. Octopus Carpaccio - This was a visually pretty yet tasty dish. Surprisingly, not too chewy since it was carefully sliced thin as a carpaccio would be. Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast - I really enjoyed this dish and was very comforting while not being too heavy. Spiced NZ Rack of Lamb - I believe this is a signature dish and was great without being gamey. Overall, really solid dishes and I was pleasantly surprised. The waitstaff was also great.

It was the Saturday before Mother's Day, so it was a little busier than usual, but it didn't compromise the service. Drinks came out a little slow, but the food arrived in a reasonable time. I ordered the house margarita and it was better than expected. I usually opt for wine here. The salmon was delicious and the yogurt sauce really set it off. Perfect portion, fresh, and overall a great guilt-free option. The bolognese wasn't my favorite dish, it lacked protein, but the sauce was tasty. Whether you're stopping in for apps or a full dinner, the vibes won't disappoint.
