I can not believe anyone wouldn't think the Mooring is a great place. It has a great waterfront dining room, indoors and out. The food is always amazing, we eat here several times a month, being locals. We always bring out of town guests here, you can't beat the view. The service is usually great and the as I said we are never dissapointed with the food. The halibut with pistatios and scallop chowder are terrific, as are the lobster spring rolls and bag of donuts. The wine list is extesive with a lot of 1/2 bottle selections also. Parking would be nice but it is Newport and most places don't offer parking. Find a meter, they go off at 9 and the night is free after that.
Pros: great view and food is always good
Cons: no parking, need a reservation
