    Excellent Thanksgiving Day dinner choice! We enjoyed the turkey dinner and the halibut seafood pappardelle and left stuffed. Our server, Lexi, was fantastic. We will definitely return on a sunny day when you can enjoy the views and walk around Newport afterward. Parking is parking in Newport. I was lucky to score a free space across the street.

    Great service. Came here for Thanksgiving - the Thanksgiving special menu was amazing. The deviled eggs with caviar were a surprising delight. The Thanksgiving plate was truly amazing and surely beat doing the cooking myself. Our table also ordered seafood which was done perfectly. The mixed drinks were perfectly blended. Our server was cheerful and prompt - highly recommend

    We ate at the bar. Nick, the bartender, was very accommodating! Such a pleasant person. He helped us decide what to order, was always there when we needed him, but never hovered over us. Such a wonderful person. His partner was very kind and accommodating also. We went for our anniversary and could not have asked for a more special evening. It was a night to remember.

     Bathrooms were filthy!!! And do something about the parking situation. Don’t make people pay to pack if they’re coming to eat and spend money in your restaurant.

    We had a wonderful meal at The Mooring. We were initially seated right next to the kitchen and it was noisy and a bit chaotic so we asked to move and they graciously seated us in a much quieter area. Food was fabulous. The giant biscuit appetizer was AMAZING! I highly recommend trying it. Bouillabaisse, crab toast, clam chowder & the lobster roll were all excellent!
