It happened to be happy hour so I was able to take advantage of some great drink deals. For my dinner, I ordered the duck with vegetables, potatoes, and added a side of ratatouille. It was all very good and the portions were large for the price. The orange sauce was unique and it seemed to have orange peels in it as well. While this might be more of a touristy spot with this location, it was a true French menu, which was my goal. The food and service were very good and I'll come back.

Maybe not fair for them, but on our previous night, the previous chicken dinner was 5 stars for her. I got the beef stew over gnocchi. Not bad, but even for a light eater, it was NOT enough food for me?!?! Got a glass of Bordeaux which was good, until I noticed the locals got twice as generous of a pour?!? The second time I noticed this while dining out... Happy for them, but to see the inconsistency affects me... Ambiance - Small local business/restaurant. Prime tourist location/area. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. One unisex toilet. Service - Welcoming. Made online reservations, but because we are NOT tech savvy, it booked the wrong time. So since we were in the area, we just walked by and asked them to change the time and had no problems. Price - 49 Euros, $57 USD. Expensive for what we got IMO. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

We were seated at one of Newport's seaside tables, a truly romantic spot to kick off the evening and the quintessential French Riviera experience. After ordering one of their Rosés from the extensive wine list, I selected one of the nightly specials, a scabbard fish filet with wheat risotto - flavorful yet unassuming. The presentation was simple yet classy. I ended the meal with fresh berries mixed with fresh meringue - light and satisfying. Newport's service was also first rate and accommodating throughout the evening making it a terrific choice if you're visiting the area.

We ordered a double round of snails, plus shrimp crudo, steak tartare, and octopus to share. Everything was fresh, light, and had unique flavor combos. I also got an espresso martini for my fix, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't great and came with a straw (lol)?!? Now, here's where it got wild. The staff, 4 of them, were literally screaming and fighting with each other in the middle of service with hands raised, ready to throw down. I've never seen anything like it in a restaurant, and it turned what could have been a nice meal into something that felt trashy. Our grumpy waiter was one of the people involved, which just made it worse. Food-wise, this place is a 5. But with the staff's behavior, I'm being generous giving it a 3. Honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that.

My friend who made our itinerary had this place on the list of places to eat at, but we didn't have a resy so we didn't have our hopes up. It was fairly late when we walked by. I saw a pretty big crowd outside, shockingly mostly Americans. We put our name in and less than 5 mins later we got seated - ahead of people who were there before us. They led us to a sorta corner table, overlooking the kitchen. We got to watch the talented chefs do work all night. The smells coming from the kitchen honestly got me feeling wild thoughts. Like damn. For some reason we all decided to do a la carte. Maybe because it was late. Someone got risotto, I got the pork chop and the other got lamb. We all loved what we got, but agreed that mine was the best. This is the kind of place that would be my go to spot if I lived here. Awesome vibes, innovative food and overall great atmosphere

We asked for the dessert menu, but they told us that they needed to turn over the table within 10 minutes so we could not have dessert and had to get the check. I have never had an experience like this before in ANY country. Clearly they are a tourist trap and they just want to turn over tables. If you would like a real French experience, stay far away. We live in Nice and I've never had service like this. I would like to give this restaurant, the worst review of my life.

Luckily a few tables inside finished and we asked to move indoors which they accommodated. I really do like their food and would be interested in trying the rest of the menu next time.

The seating is in this beautiful courtyard with stone and greenery surrounding it. The menus were placed around every table, written in chalk but they had an option to use a QR code to look at the options with pictures. We started off the night eating the octopus that was pan seared and served in a lemony, herb sauce. It was at this time, my eyes rolled to the back of my head! So good!! I also ordered the scallop risotto with Parmesan and truffles. Omg! It almost had this floral taste to it, but I'm guessing that was all the truffles? Either way it was mouth watering and I would 100% come back. The service was great, we were sat right away and our waiter helped us with choosing options that were the best for us. 10/10 experience!
