Meh. It was better the last time I was here. I think they changed cooks or something. The food was…read moreexcellent last month and for previous visits. It was so-so this time.

We stopped in at 5 yesterday and were worried the restaurant would be busy, but we were sat immediately. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated with lots of nautical themes. Our waitress was lovely and explained the menu to us in detail. As it was our first time at a seafood boil she was very patient with all our questions. Ultimately I had the 2lb boil with 1lb of mussels, 1/2lb of shrimp, and 1/2lb of clams in the captain Loui sauce with a side of garlic noodles. Our waitress came back quickly with a bib, gloves, and a bucket for shells. Not long after our meals came out and let me tell you everything was excellent! The seafood was cooked perfectly, plenty of sauce, and even the corn and potato were out of this world. I ordered the sauce medium and it definitely had a nice kick to it. The garlic noodles had great flavor, a little clumpy but with a little of that captain Loui sauce added on top it fixed the problem. It's not cheap but for a once in a while special occasion treat I can not recommend this place enough!

My fave seafood boil spot! I'll never go anywhere else. Their sauce, seafood quality and service is…read moreall great. The seafood is always fresh here. I always get the pick 2 and select the shrimp with head on and mussels. Comes with some potatoes and corn; also a side of your choice (I always do extra corn or garlic noodles!) you pick your sauce (get the capt Louie sauce!) and spice level (hot! Is best). The only place I'll got 10 fingers in on a meal and let the sauce get all over my face (I usually hate eating with my hands).. it's so worth it. There's a flower vendor lady that walks around fed hill and she'll come by for your boyfriend to buy you flowers too ladies haha! My boyfriend got the fish and chips w/cajun fries and he said it was better than when we visited Newport.

Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

My boyfriend had the hot honey wings and he really liked them. He also had the calamari app which he also enjoyed. Critiques: seafood sizing was smaller than I expected (I got the muscles and clams. Shrimp was decent sized). I tried the Cajun sauce which was kinda thin and lacking to me compared to other places I been with more hearty, somewhat thicker sauce as there's a bunch of chopped garlic in it.

So, again, make sure you make those reservations! We had the beef and puff pastry, which was still just as delicious as it was the first time. Make sure to get some bread on the side to mop up all that sauce! French onion soup was also enjoyed just as much as last time. New items we tried: the most expensive things on the menu at $48(?) each. The filet mignon came with asparagus and a potato croquette. It was a tender and flavorful dish. The croquette had a lot of flavor! The New Zealand rack of lamb. Ugh. In a good way. Like ughhhhhhh! Soooo good!! The most tender lamb I've ever had. And the mashed potatoes that accompanied it was delicious - even to my child that doesn't usually like potatoes unless it's fried. Now, we saved room for dessert since it was a special occasion.

Newport Restaurant Group gets it right every time. I am an Ironworks/Avvio groupie but now adding this restaurant to my rotation. Service was fantastic, I wish I remembered our server's name but he was great. S/O to the Manager, who was also fantastic, I saw him clearing glasses, adjusting tables, interacting with service people and asking if they were okay (as a former rest.owner, this is huge!) and talking with customers.
