    Our server was amazing! She was so personable and friendly. Food was delicious. My husband and I shared the fish and chips and the winter salad. We also had a half dozen oysters which were fantastic! Loved sitting near the window! Even in late fall Newport is gorgeous!

    This was our second Thanksgiving at The Moorings and it was just as good the second time around. Warm and responsive servers who knew just when to check in, out-of-this world shared bouillabaisse and cod and chourico stew, no feeling of being rushed despite the busy evening. Thank you for a memorable evening!

    I thought it was going to be one of those tourist traps… but it was great! Really great menu selections. Great meal and very fair prices. We went in November. Looking forward to going back in the summer months to enjoy the outdoor seating along the water.

    Excellent Thanksgiving Day dinner choice! We enjoyed the turkey dinner and the halibut seafood pappardelle and left stuffed. Our server, Lexi, was fantastic. We will definitely return on a sunny day when you can enjoy the views and walk around Newport afterward. Parking is parking in Newport. I was lucky to score a free space across the street.

    Great service. Came here for Thanksgiving - the Thanksgiving special menu was amazing. The deviled eggs with caviar were a surprising delight. The Thanksgiving plate was truly amazing and surely beat doing the cooking myself. Our table also ordered seafood which was done perfectly. The mixed drinks were perfectly blended. Our server was cheerful and prompt - highly recommend
