We ordered the mussels, fish and chips, and raw oysters. Everything was delicious and sooo fresh. The red sauce the mussels were cooked in was so good and the portion was enough for four. The fish was also a really good size and not overly breaded at all. Oysters 🦪....wow.

Fresh seafood and large portions. Some of the best clam chowder I’ve had. Benjamin’s linguini was loaded with fresh seafood. And the fish and chips was perfectly lightly fried and came with a ton of fish. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I’ve always loved going here. The food is always delicious, has good portions, and feels home cooked! The staff are always kind, especially the waitress Caty who is downstairs. The food and drinks came quickly and the atmosphere was cozy. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I brought out-of-towners to this restaurant on the day before Halloween. I could not find a restaurant in Newport close to the water, that was open on a Monday, for some reason. The lady who took my phone call convinced me that the food on this restaurant is good, especially the seafood, and it would be a great showcase place for tourists, so I took a chance and booked a reservation for 5 people. Good location as it is right across the Newport Visitor Center and right on Thames St. Our reservation was for 5PM but we arrived 10 minutes early. Thames was not busy and we parked our two cars right in front the restaurant. When we left, we discovered, to our dismay, that we had parking tickets--we failed to see the sign that was at the entrance to Thames. Bummer. What a ridiculous fine; we are right in front of the restaurant and the parking was clearly not busy--but I digress. Back to food. Seafood it is. We ordered calamari for appetizers. For entrees, hot lobster roll, Halibut, Benjamin's Linguini, and Striped Bass. My guests and I were unimpressed. The serving size was good but the lobster was chewy and the linguini was swimming in a lot of sauce (soupy!). The service was good. I felt that having lunch there would've been better.

Excellent place to eat! All the food our party got was prepared perfectly! I opted for the prime rib and was not disappointed. It came to the table exactly how I asked for it and tasted wonderful from first bite to last bite. Waitress was attentive and engaging. Answered all of our questions and checked in at nice intervals. Atmosphere was very nice, not too upscale but not a hole in the wall. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It was one of the best Prime ribs I have had. We also had seafood casserole, chicken fried steak, and pork chops. Everyone was very happy with their dinner. The service was nice . Service Dine in Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
