Mike Nickerson: The freshest calamari I've had in new england! Sit on the outdoor patio on the water, order a bottle of wine, and enjoy the night.
C B: Amy D., bartender...was exceptional. Polite professional very knowledgeable. And personable. Rack of lamb and steak was outstanding. So is crème brûlée dessert
Jake Smith: The Atlantic Salmon with Gnocchi was excellent, I just wished the Gnocchi serving was larger. A very nice restaurant to dine for a special occasion.

Dale Steinke: Great fried calamari with banana peppers. Crisp on the outside, very tender inside. The chicken-fried lobster was tasty too. The lobster gravy makes it. Could've eaten a side of that!
Giles Van Gruisen: Delicious burger though medium-rare was very pink. Table next to window (and radiator) is perfect in winter!
Kristen Haley: Chicken fried lobster and foie gras hot dogs.. can't get much better than that.. or can it? +1 for the ring game!
Joe McCarthy: Great filet and lobster pie! Awesome appetizer pizza and calamari!
Ashley Hogan: All the food we ordered was delicious and innovated, the braised short rib was especially amazing! Will definitely be back whenever in the area!
Jake Smith: Sit on the patio, order a few beers, and watch the people walking by on the street. Excellent location to kick back for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.
Ai K: Sautéed calamari is a bomb! Very cute patio that is pet friendly. Chicken fried sandwich pretty solid.
Stefan Werner: Warm & cozy, crackling fireplace - the perfect place to be in Newport in wintertime! Great service, delicious food - and the bar pours generously.

Jason: Absolutely fantastic calamari. I would say top 3 I've ever had, and that speaks volumes considering I am from RI. It's grilled and they use cornmeal instead of the usual batter.
Krystal Bobbe: Love this place! We had the sangria, brick chicken, oxtail bolognese, and banana purses for dessert. Everything was divine. Cool relaxed place with a nice variety of things on the menu.
Kev: I got Salvation in the winter by grabbing the 9X7 deal! Ask your server about it and do it. Just do it.
