Greeted by a very cordial hostess then seated in a lovely outdoor area. Our waiter was patient with all of us as first time guests and he explained the menu in great detail. Pod was outstanding.

Amazing food and drinks while watching Newport holiday light show!!

I've been going here for years because it's always reliable with great food. It was very busy last night because the theater had 2 shows. When it is that crowded, it is very noisy. Bottom line, reliable and great, especially if you're going to the theater.

The food is A-maz-ing! We had the halibut and the pork tenderloin! I want to try Everything on the menu! The almond cake is one of the best desserts I've ever had! (Warning- it is sweet, but absolute perfection!) All of the waiters are very attentive, and made our experience fabulous! We will be definitely returning!!!!
