I just want a quick lunch, no reason to have tablecloths and white glove service. I want a local seafood shack without the dress-up dining. Anthony's Seafood has picnic tables outside as well seating inside. My wife and I walk and see to the left is a seafood market. To the right, the cashier is ready to take your order. Once you place your order and pay for your meal, the wait staff will bring your order to your table. Sounds easy right? I see the Guy Fieri poster, what he ordered was Kung Pao Calamari. My wife isn't eating that dish?! I ordered two Rhode Island Chowders and a Clam Belly Platter platter for my main entree. Anthony's Seafood is serving fresh clams all day long! We both loved the chowder and the whole belly fried clams were cooked to perfection. After we finished our meals, we jumped in the car and headed back to Port Jeff to catch the ferry. If you're heading to Rhode Island, put in the Nav Middletown, RI and find Anthony's Seafood. Freshly caught seafood in a casual setting.

It was fun to watch the guys shuck oysters even tho we didn't order any. The food was pretty good too. We shared a salad and a halibut plate. The portion was a good size for sharing - not too much and not too little. We split the soup as well. We even took a key lime mini pie to go. This was prob my favorite part of the whole meal. Drinks were good - I had a Downeast Cider and my hubby had a Guinness. The cider tasted a little funny like off - I let the server know. This place is super busy so if you're looking for a more "romantic" place to have dinner, you prob want to check out some other options.

Johnny's is located within the Wyndham Hotel in Middletown RI…read more My wife and I often stay here as the hotel is excellent, however this review relates to Johnny's. As noted above we have eaten here in the past. We have dined with large as well as small groups and have always been pleased. The place is beautiful, especially in the summer. The outdoor patio bar boasts a great view of Green End Pond. A great place to grab a drink and an appetizer. We started out on the patio and returned later for dinner. Based on our sub par experience the night before (see prior review) I was committed to having a great meal. We were not disappointed. I started with the clam chowder. Delicious. Flavorful and loaded with clams. My wife opted for the lobster bisque In an effort to negate the lousy lobster bisque she had on the previous night. Mission accomplished. She described it as buttery and creamy. Essentially the perfect bisque flavor. Contained within the bisque was a tremendous chunk of delicious lobster meat . For dinner, I chose the baked stuffed shrimp. It was delicious. Cooked to perfection with delicious stuffing, rice, pilaf, and broccoli. My only complaint is that I believe there should be more than 4 shrimp at this price. My wife selected the Pasta Bolognese. A dish that she has had and several other restaurants in several states and she ranked this right at the top of the list. Plenty of beef and pork combined with a tasty Italian sauce. When in the Newport area I suggest you skip the over hyped restaurants and head to Johnny's for a delicious meal with great atmosphere.

For an entree my wife chose salmon while I focused my attention on scallops. Each proved to be surprisingly delicious so we would not hesitate to return.

We ate here for Valentine's Dinner while staying at the Pell. To be completely honest I was very…read moredisappointed with the experience. We had reservations and waited about 15 minutes to be seated though the host was very nice. They were going to sit us on a 6 top in the middle of the restaurant but moved us to a smaller quieter table as we didn't need such a large table. We ordered shortly after being seated. I ordered the prix fixe menu with came with salad/soup, an entree and a dessert. I also ordered off the kids menu. I ordered mocktails for my kids and a cocktail for myself that came out quickly. I'm a tequila lover so I got the naked and famous which I loved. After our drinks everything went downhill. We then waited almost an hour and a half for our food. I tried to get our servers attention multiple times to ask why the wait was so long. She never bothered to check in with us to let us know we would be waiting so long. I looked over and noticed that the 6 top who sat and ordered well after us had already received their food. When I called our server over to ask if she could at least bring out the soup or kids meal so that my kids wouldn't starve. She stated that she couldn't bring anything out until the kitchen brought everything out together. She said the kitchen was backed up and kind of shrugged me off. Again, I ordered a prix fixe so why would all the courses come out together? That makes zero sense. I pointed out that the family who ordered after us had already gotten their food. She rolled her eyes and walked away. At this point we were already waiting for 1 hour at this point. Normally this behavior would have had me walking out but we were staying at the hotel, had already waited an hour and it was Valentine's Day so anywhere else would have been busy. A few minutes later she brought out some soup for my daughter, no apologies just matter of factly like she did me a favor by bringing out our soup. The table next to us asked her for some fries as they also had a child starving to them she apologized and replied not a problem I'll bring out some fries for you. When we did get our food we were disappointed with everything besides the kids pasta. The pasta was the only thing that tasted ok. The salmon was burnt and the sweet potato puree tasted old and really had no flavor. I missed the part of bacon bits in the green beans so that's on me but the bacon with the salmon did not go together at all. The chicken sandwich was dry and lacked flavor while the fries were okay. I asked for the dessert to go because I didn't want to wait for another hour. She first brought it out on a regular dish then took it to the kitchen and had it mushed in a Togo container not separating the bread from the cream. When I did finally take the dessert to my room I did not enjoy it at all either this was hard and I would not call it bread pudding. It was literally chunks of bread with cream spread on top. The hotel itself was fantastic but our experience at the restaurant was horrible. The front desk was apologetic and accommodating when we checked out however so we will definitely come back to stay at the hotel, but will most likely avoid the restaurant.

Like the curious soul I am, I went over and got their menu piece. Because there would be more food later on down the road, I kept it simple and ordered a lobster roll with some truffle. It comes with a free pickle, a bag of chips (either sea salt or salt & vinegar), and a can of soda. You order at this stand and they bring it out to you once they're ready. And being on the coast of Rhode Island, the ambiance is perfect no matter what your plans are. Just be sure to eat it here in Newport and not go to Providence before eating it. And boy oh boy does this lobster roll hit the spot as a perfect early afternoon snack! The perfectly toasted roll was buttery, the chunks were huge, and the lobster was fresh. A perfect Rhode Island treat if I do say so myself! And yeah, on a beautiful day like this, I could never leave the Rhode Island coasts without some sort of seafood, and this hit that spot too. I'd definitely eat from here again if I find myself in Newport in the future.

As we were walking around Bowen's Wharf we saw a line of about 10 people waiting to order here…read more Intrigued, I decided to check out the Yelp reviews and because they were so good, we stood in line. It took about 10 minutes to get to the window. During this time, the guy in front of me told me....You can order on the app...so you don't have to wait....I tried, but the APP was very slow and it never got me to place the order. Finally we got to the window. We ordered and was told it was going to be about 25 minutes for the food to be ready. Each order got a bag of chips and a beverage. After about 25 min, they called my name. The good was good...the warm lobster roll was buttery and tender. The clam chowder had lots of clam flavor. ...The seafood flight was also delicious. They were all small, so be mindful of it if you have a large appetite. There are 3 tables with umbrellas about 200 feet from the window, where you can sit and eat. Ask the clerk to show you. It is not intuitive.

From the moment we walked up, the host team greeted us with so many smiles and such great energy…read more Katie introduced herself as the GM, was right there welcoming incoming guests herself. It was a BUSY Saturday night, we had no reservation, and the bar was packed... but divine timing somehow worked in our favor and two seats opened up right at the end of the bar. That's where we met Nick behind the bar, and honestly, he made the night. Nick was working the service well, taking care of a packed bar and banging out beautifully curated cocktails. I still don't know how he was that efficient while also taking the time to walk us through the entire menu. You could tell he genuinely took pride in the food he was describing and wanted us to experience it. I started with the Mezcal Negroni and from there we decided on a few small bites. First, the ricotta gnudi... perfectly fried and warm with just the right bite on the outside, then you break into this warm, soft little pillow of ricotta that was an absolute flavor bomb. Finished with freshly shaved Parmesan on top. I swear for a second I thought I was sitting somewhere on the water in Italy. Then the Scotch bonnet egg... WOW... truly every dish was just mind blowing ...all this dishes we ate....Nothing overpowered anything else. Every bite mattered. You could actually taste every layer and every little detail that went into all the dishes. Then came the beef tartare. Beautifully presented with the green crab purée in the center and crispy chips for that perfect crunch. Katie came over herself to explain the dish, and once you got everything together in one bite... absolute flavor explosion. Rich, bright, creamy, salty, crunchy. Everything on that plate had a purpose. We were also told we HAD to try the sweet corn agnolotti and THANK GOD we listened. Another complete flavor bomb. Absolutely amazing. It genuinely gives some of my favorite Italian restaurants in Beverly Hills El Baldi a run for their money. At this point Nick basically said, "Trust me," and asked if he could choose our next course. YES. PLEASE. Out came this gorgeous lamb sausage with fresh greens, snap peas, mint, dill, pickled vegetables and this beautiful creamy green sauce underneath. THAT DISH. The sausage was rich, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, but all those fresh herbs, greens and acidity made the entire plate feel bright and balanced. Hearty and comforting while somehow still tasting fresh and light. Then Nick convinced us to put our trust in him one last time and let him choose dessert. He brought out the bread pudding and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the PERFECT ending to this entire food adventure. I literally had tears in my eyes. The food, the cocktails, the service, the salt water in the air, the smiles from the staff... everything just came together.....Nothing was pretentious. Everything was highly elevated while still having this incredible sense of warmth and comfort. It almost felt like being welcomed into someone's home and they just happened to be cooking some of the best food you've ever eaten. Huge shoutout to GM Katie and bartender Nick. Thank you both for giving us one of the most amazing and memorable dining experiences I've ever had. We walked in on a packed Saturday night without a reservation, just hoping to grab a couple seats, have a cocktail and eat something good... and walked out feeling like we had experienced something really special. 10/10. Every bite. Every cocktail. Every detail. I would go back in a heartbeat.
