The food is top-notch here, and in the summer when the outside section located directly atop Cliff Walk and First Beach is open, the setting can be spectacular (if there's no seaweed!). The drawbacks are the inflated prices and second class service. This is the most expensive restaurant in Newport, but not the best dining experience overall. I appreciate it when waitstaff are unobtrusive, but the service here, which you'd expect would be impeccable, is simply put - unavailable. Despite the fact there was hardly anyone else there, we were never asked if we needed anything further, and literally had to get out of our seats to find the staff ourselves when it came time to leave. They certainly were not unpleasant, but impossible to reach when their service was required.
Pros: great food, interesting menu, nice environment
Cons: price, lack of service
