The steak was amazing but but the service was lacking. The bartenders were not personable and somewhat off putting. The waitstaff seemed overwhelmed as if they had never had a full restaurant before. When we went to order our appetizers, they said we had to order our entrees at the same because they were so busy.
I'm sorry but if I'm going to spend almost $300 on a meal for two people, the service should be more capable to handle the demand of a saturday night dinner rush. Since the restaurant has some of the best views of the sunset in Newport, I'd assume that the rush is similar every weekend throughout the summer so there really is no excuse for the lapse in service.
While the views and food were great, I don't think I would eat here again.
Located on a great spot in the Newport marina, The Grill at Forty 1 North is a classy bar and restaurant to chill with friends and loved ones as the sun goes down or to check out the docked superyachts (and maybe say hi to their owners and crew!). Although known more as a hip bar with cool cocktails, the food and service here are excellent too, for both lunch and dinner. It is pricey, but you are paying a "location tax" and it's worth it for a special treat, or to impress! The seafood towers and the squid ink pasta were fantastic and highly recommended.
Good location right off ferry. Good service. Food just OK.
Great service. Beautiful room. We were a party of 6 in the "wine room". Food was great. We were very happy with our choice to visit The Grill.
