Absolute Favorite Restaurant in Newport. Make reservation... You can also eat at the bars (there are 3 different bars!). Mussels w Fries are awesome.
The outdoor bar is definitely the way to go. Great drinks/service & full menu. The only challenge is grabbing your spot.
Top menu choices: Steak Frittes, Salmon & gnocchi, the burger (hands down the best burger I've ever had) & the lobster mac & cheese. Also cran-apple crisp and berries & dark choc are awesome desserts.
Opened in 1673 by pirate William Mayes, America’s oldest tavern at one time hosted the Rhode Island General Assembly, as well as the local criminal court and city council. (From Aerial America) Read more.
