RIP off .
Meal for two. Seafood. Surf and Turf. Half ear of corn each, 6 fingerling potatoes, 1 small lobster and meat which was supposed to be prime rib but was about 7,8 small slices of steak. It was supposed to be Prime Rib. Maybe I should have spoken up bu

Reviews and locals recommended this place.
It was busy with great views. Food was just ok unfortunately. The much raved about buttermilk biscuit tasted like cornbread, quite sweet and very dry. Calamari was chewy. Drinks were good though. Clam chowder was good. Reservations are highly recomme

A Great Place To Drop In!
Walking along the wharf, we decided to drop in for a fast taste of a light dish. Sat down and with the excellent help of our waiter Dan, selected the chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Great choice and direction Dan! Meat was moist, sauce a

Perfect meal with a hiccup!
My boyfriend and I wandered over from our hotel for dinner here. The tents are up for the boat show so it was kinda hard to find but we eventually found it behind the tent! We didn't bother making a reservation because we saw there were a ton a

A once great restaurant that's since devolved into an overpriced tourist trap, though they're far from alone in that sad trend.

The Mooring is absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible. The service was top-notch, attentive without being overbearing, and made the whole experience even better. Waterfront dining here is great. Highly recommend for anyone visiting RI!
Superb food.
The clamp chowder is fantastic! My wife is gluten free and shellfish free. They are SO SAFE with the prep. They have a separate GF menu. The staff, especially Tammy, is well trained. They gave me my NGF rolls in a paper bag to prevent potential c

Nice location! Hard to get reservations in the summer! Food was good not great! Service was good.
Wonderful experience!
After a trolley tour, we walked to The Mooring mid afternoon and hoped for a table despite no reservation...and we were seated almost immediately. Our perfect table was on the lower level facing the water, and even at a quiet corner. Perfect 👌

Overrated
Definitely Overrated The seafood pasta/overcooked, scallops were rubbery. We added a lobster tail for $24, but it turned out to be baby lobster tail and very chewy. The halibut dish, paired with peach creamed corn, poblano, and pickled peach relish,
Nice seafood restaurant
The restaurant is beautiful, it's right on the harbor. There is a great outdoor patio. The staff is excellent. The clam chowder is great. The fish sandwich was great, but falls apart. It's too much for the bread. The lobster roll was
Everything a Seafood Restaurant Should Aspire to Be!
Casual, comfortable waterfront restaurant in the harbor. Wonderful professional staff, from the friendly hostess to the food runners and servers. The fresh oysters and clams were delicious. We tried the haddock special served with Georgia peach &

Three sisters met up for dinner and drinks on a Sunday.
We were a bit early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and had drinks and appetizers. We ordered dirty martinis and three appetizers of octopus, mussels, and crab cakes. All three were excellent and would definitely order again. For dinner w
Gorgeous waterfront dining in Newport.
Spacious and beautifully decorated. Loved the oysters and my partner had a divine seafood pasta. I didn't enjoy my lobster roll, lobster seemed old and was not flavorful. Very expensive. Service was great, very attentive and fun.

Great little spot to grab food and drinks.
We opted to sit at the bar for small bites and drinks. I had an aperol spritz with some oysters and a cold lobster roll. Service was good and food was great! Will definitely visit again the next time I'm in Newport! Great views.
Happy 80th Birthday!
Excellent choice for special day. Appetizers: shrimp/lobster fritters (loved) and crab toasts mounded tall with real crab. Shared the bouillabaisse and WOW is that large!!! Desserts crème brûlée—an all time best. Definitely coming back. Oh, they
Excellent clam chowder
Excellent clam chowder. Thick, creamy, decent sized pieces of clam. Had an excellent interesting special sandwich (lobster BLC) with nice sized pieces of lobster and the “C” is cucumber instead of tomato. So, sandwich was not soggy. Shared the sa
Great food and atmosphere
Beautiful setting by the water. Our service and food were excellent. Just beware if you order the biscuit, it’s huge but delicious. I had the lobster roll, it was delicious. Definitely try this place out if u are in the area
Delicious food, good servers
Roasted cod fish was delicious. Nice harbor view. Easy conversation even though the restaurant was very busy. Remember to make a reservation as this restaurant is popular, even on week nights
Excellent food, service and atmosphere
We went for lunch to celebrate 36 years of marriage. The staff made it a wonderful experience. The food is amazing. I had the sampler of oysters from different locations and really delicious seared scallops, my husband had shrimp cocktail and their
What happened
Oh my goodness what happened? This has been our go to for years when we come to town. Our dinner was something out of aliens. It started with our waitress who had no personality although she tried. We ordered off the raw bar and 2 entrees. Had to ask
Great dinner
My husband and I ate here during a weekend trip to Newport. I booked the restaurant because I had heard it was always consistent, which apparently is hard to come by in Newport. I was very pleased. I had the halibut which was perfectly cooked and tas
Disappointing food
It is a beautiful restaurant but our baked halibut was very overdone. The manager took 50% off and offered us desert. That was okay but we would have preferred to have the dish served properly prepared.
I recommend this restaurant for any occasion.
Staff members were friendly and polite, they showed caring about Birthday Wishes!! The food was amazing and dessert did not disappoint.
A Fabulous Dinner
I would definitely eat here again. My husband and I ordered the lobster and shrimp fritters for an appetizer and they did not disappoint. We also shared a 2 lb lobster that was stuffed with shrimp and scallops. It was delicious.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar Newport at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar Newport page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar Newport to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Mooring Seafood Kitchen & Bar Newport!
