    We had a great brunch at JBs. My partner loved his Bloody Mary and the Kerry’s Turkey sandwich, my Lobster Benedict was very good, I asked to have the poached eggs cooked a little longer than usual and they came out perfect. We had a seat by a window with lovely views and our server was very pleasant. Will definitely return.

    Audrey was our server and she’s a gem! Very accommodating and good sense of humor too. Fish and chips and fig & arugula burger both tasty and well presented. View of the bridge is always so nice.

    Average food. Didn’t even serve real eggs! Ordered scrambled eggs for bunch and was given the powdered fake eggs! Very disappointed. Home fries greasy and lacking flavor.

    Beautiful place to have a meal, views to Newport are spectacular. Have been a few times, and the food and service are always terrific. The patio area is a blast when the weather is warm, live music, etc. if you're not there for the view/location, you may find it on the pricy side.. but a good value for the location IMO

    Audrey was sweet but not detail-oriented. One of entrees was wrong and late. My son-in-law ate after all of us were done. Food was good overall ( fish and chips, short rib sandwich and chicken). Cocktails were tasty. Delivery of food was unprofessional and lacking by others than our server. Sweet spot but in the fog is just ok.
