Definitely a must stop if you're ever in Newport.
Clearly a local haunt based on who we same come through and where we got the recommendation. The food was great (loved the curry soup!). Definitely sit at the bar adjacent to the cooking area to watch the process, all steam cooking, exclusively electric, and the owners are very friendly.
A perfect dinner. I have never felt so acknowledged and known by a restaurant owner/server. The other server was also very kind but after staring at the Sun that was the woman seemingly in charge. Wow. I hope she is there when you visit. Call ahead to ask if she is there! It will still be a great time but go visit again if you can! Her presence alone awards Newport their moniker as "Friendliest City." Of course I won't expect her to be sunny everyday, because how can anyone burn that bright! I had saved my bread and wine, waiting for the seafood stew to arrive yet when it arrived I forgot all about my wine and bread and was enraptured by every sip of the spoon! The atmosphere was perfect for me! ❤ The door would open and everyone would turn to watch the newcomers be so dearly welcomed in! And when we left, she opened the front door and called out "Take care Alex." Again you may not get that experience, but if you do... ooof... it will last you well into the night!
After a long day shopping, the sweet, smokey and spicy cioppino hit the spot! The service was friendly and it was very comfortable inside.

Absolutely delicious cioppino! Most tourists come to Newport with a bowl of clam chowder in mind, but I think this is the bowl that people will remember fondly. Warm and friendly service. All sorts of fun sharky knick-knacks adorn the walls. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for good quality seafood.
While on vacation in the area, we stopped in for dinner and were so pleased with this restaurant. My wife had the cioppino, which she loved—it was so full of seafood and had a very nice broth. All of the seafood had been unshelled and shucked. No shells, no waste! I had the snapper which was also cooked to perfection. The server/owner was so accommodating and friendly towards us. She recommended places to see and things to do during our stay. Highly recommended!!
