    We celebrated an engagement and birthday at the Mooring. Sharon and the Mooring staff were all amazing. Several staff stopped by to congratulate us, gave us a singed greeting card from the staff and provided exemplary service. We had a wonderful dining experience and would highly recommend the Mooring to others. We will be back!

    We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our waitress (Sharon?) was very attentive and knowledgeable of the nightly specials. Food was delicious and portions just right. Will definitely return next time we are looking for a higher end restaurant in Newport.

    The restaurant was very accommodating. They allowed me to reserve a table by the window and were so thoughtful for helping us celebrate a birthday. Great view.

    Our server Sharon (I think?) was really personable and knowledgeable about the menu- she seemed to have something positive, informative, and insightful to add about each item on the menu.

    Always a treat! I find The Mooring to be one of the best in the group. They pay attention to the little details which I find important-nice glassware and serveware, French Press coffee pot per person, great cocktails, wine and beer offerings and interesting menu options. The service is great. The atmosphere is lively and the food is top notch. It doesn't get any better.

    Beautiful setting on the water but incredibly crowded and noisy. Service excellent. Good very good but not great and some peculiar combinations (beet hummus with tuna?).

    We dined here for the second time. Our first time here was for our anniversary. It was a great experience so we decided to come back. There are many dining choices in Newport but we loved the Mooring’s menu. We were seated in the lower level with a perfect view of the harbor at sunset. The ambiance was great as well as the waitress. Our food was served promptly and was very tasty as expected. It was another excellent experience at The Mooring. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. I ordered the seafood pasta, and added the lobster tail for $26. That ended up being a disappointment, though, because the tail was tiny, only about 3 small bites. It was also dry and overcooked. So I won’t do that again. But the rest was great.
