The Lobster Bar

Great view. Nice staff. OK food.

The clam chowder was really good. The grilled shrimp appetizer was good, but it didn't blow me away. The lobster boil was OK - the sausage was well over cooked, the mussels were OKA, the clams were good, the corn was good but small.

I probably would get a different appetizer and main course next time.

Great service, lobster bisque soup was on point! Lobster roll was good too. Nice spot to watch the boats go by. Great for the family and/or friends to have a meal together & for some drinks too.

Great seating by the water. Seated us fast due to the sheer number of tables they have. Not the biggest raw bar selection. My companion got the stuffed lobster- stuffing was pretty dry, I got the broiled seafood platter, which was pretty good.

The views are great but what a huge disappointment with the food. The dishes lunch time, were not that cheap, and not that tasty. Seemed like cook didn't spice anything or put any LOVE of cooking into the food. We could have had the same dish at a family dinner, and paid a lot less money. The drinks from the bar were excellent and so was the service. But-- hire a new day cook-- one who cares.

Fantastic spot right on the water in Newport. The lobster roll was market price ($23 the day of our visit) and it was hands down the most delicious lobster roll I've ever had. Meaty and well seasoned, the right amount of moisture, and a toasted bun. The celery (which is a traditional ingredient in a lobster roll) is very finely chopped, so at no point are you crunching down on a giant chunk of celery (a pet peeve of mine) so this was a nice surprise. Great view, great food, and great service.
