Objective facts from my experience: - Made reservations in early March (offseason and not busy) for brunch - they opened at 11am… we got there at 10:50am (with a 2 year old, 5 year old and a grandmother) - we walked in the entry area, which was unlocked, and were told by the young manager, that we “needed to wait outside”… in the 35 degree weather. Instead of letting us patiently wait in one of the 8 unoccupied igloos that were unlocked… or the sizable heated waiting area. No human decency whatsoever. Just human to human, felt neglected. - (minor detail but still awkward) when seated, the waiter didn’t introduce themselves… just tossed down the menus and said “I’ll be back shortly” - (another super minor detail) waiter forgot straws for the kids drink carton… which required a straw to puncture (think of getting a Capri Sun with no straw) - made two of three cocktails incorrectly (waiter couldn’t figure out how to light the torch for a smoked whiskey cocktail, and just quit after short time, leaving it unsmoked) - the wind blew over the syrup on our plate for French toast (again, not a huge deal… but the waiter just stated it happened, without suggesting an alternative of any kind) - they forgot a side of bacon… which was included with the dish - not even an add on - they forgot to plug in our igloo, so it was unlit, and unheated… just general lack of attention to detail or care towards a customer. - You pay $100 JUST TO RESERVE those igloo things, and they didn’t even remember to plug the darn thing in?! - the food was decent at best, and the ambiance is a nice concept… but LORD do they need better service. NOT WORTH THE SPEND. Would highly advise trying a different restaurant in Newport. There are SO MANY better options. SO… MANY. - the waiter also brought the “check” on electronic pad, and waited in the igloo with us while we filled it out, like a test proctor… terrible etiquette and uncomfortable as all heck POOR Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Ate in an igloo, different. Need a better system of keeping food hot while traveling from indoor kitchen to outside (cold and wet raining) heated igloo. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

We went in March so the restaurant was fairly slow, but they did a great job making accomodations for my wife's food allergies. The food was very good, and the apple smoked bourbon was incredible. Service was very slow, but I would definitely go back and give them a chance to correct my impression of their service.

Finding a lamb burger in the menu was a surprise and a delight! The food was very good, our server was very helpful and the view of the harbor can't be beat! The boozy hot chocolate was just a great bonus. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
