Oysters
Jennifer T.

* Oysters (happy hour $1.50) * Ahi seared tuna * Poke bowl * Wings Buffalo and Parm Garlic * Seared Shirmp rice bowl * Espresso martini * Old fashion * Fall Gin&Tonic Small place that can get crowded but cute vibes. Staff seemed overwhelmed but it was packed and a Saturday so service wasn't best as far as attentiveness. But they were busy from time we came and left (2hrs). We did have a reservation. Staff was still really nice and helpful. The food was really good. Husband said portions could have been more in poke bowl taking the price into consideration. But overall drinks were fire and a good experience. Would go back! They have their own dedicated parking lot as well.

Stopped in for a quick dinner again we love to sit at the bar which is mist if the time first comes first served or they will help you get seats too! We got the buff chicken dip with pitas which are great and the fresh veggies too! Very filling :) then we got dinners too ! Everything is fresh & always a perfect portion and always comes out pretty quick. Such a fun atmosphere always . Service is amazing .

I was in the area for a wedding and had dinner here the night before. I had a dirty martini and it was great. My friend had an espresso martini and that also was amazing. The vibe is super cool and our waitress was very friendly. They have a large bar, outdoor seating and some seating inside. We got the chicken bacon ranch pizzas, tuna app and buffalo chicken app to split. The pizza was my favorite. The food was done well.

Cork burger

Came to Cork with a group of friends. Cool vibe inside. We made reservations and we're seated pretty quick. The only downside was the table we got was a bit small for 6 people. It was a slim rectangle table and was very cramped. We ordered some cocktails and an app. The braised rib nachos had some great flavor and a bit of a kick. I ordered the cork burger, it came out a perfect med rare which I feel is very rare now a days. (Pun mot intended) Overall good service, food and atmosphere.

The BEST steak sandwich! Tender sirloin with crispy fries yumm!! Also I was too hungry to wait to take a pic lol.

Great food, great drinks, great date night at Cork and Rye! On a Wednesday night it was pretty packed and we had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for our table though. Definitely plan to make reservations in advance.

Brought my dad here for his birthday on a Thursday evening. Made a reservation because the space is on the smaller side and I do think most evenings it can get busy! We all got a drink, my sister and I liked that they had spirit free drinks and they were yummy! All of our food was really good. Server was nice & friendly. Only thing that was a bit annoying was it gets loud in there but we just chatted a little bit louder.

The only photo I took, this drink was good, but after 2 sips, the drink was gone and the ice was still to the brim.

Tried this place with friends last night. We had a reservation, so we were seated upon arrival. It's very small. The table we were seated at had one side against a small wall. It was very cramped. I sat in the inside chair, in order for me to get out, my husband had to get up and move his chair totally out and around the end of the table for me to get out. The table on the other side had the chairs right up against the chairs behind it. Whatever. We got settled and looked at the menu. First item on the app menu was a bread basket. 4 rolls of bread for $8. Most places just bring bread. Ok, we aren't getting bread. Ordered drinks. I got an apple cinnamon mule. It was very tasty, but 2 sips and the drink was gone. The cup was filled to the top with ice once the drink was gone. Ordered the sirloin sandwich. Server said it's her favorite thing on the menu. I ordered the horseradish on the side because too much is overwhelming. It came smothered in horseradish. The person who brought it food placed it and was gone, so I didn't have a chance to say anything. I managed to take the steak out and wipe off the horseradish... there was soooo much. I couldn't eat the bread. By the time the server came over to ask how everything was, the rest of my party was almost done eating. I mentioned that the horseradish was supposed to be on the side and she said "oh no! It's ok though right?" I said I guess it will have to be, as she can see most of my dinner was untouched and I was eating my wiped off steak with a knife and fork. She didn't say anything else and left. No manager came by. She never came back other than to drop the check. After we ate my husband told me his ahi tuna bowl had a ton of soy sauce in the bottom and the rice was swimming in it, so he didn't finish that. We won't be returning. I have written many yelp reviews and almost all our positive. If I don't like a restaurant, I usually just don't review it. But after reading other negative reviews for this restaurant, I figured I should warn people. Had I read the reviews first, I probably wouldn't have gone. Lesson learned.

Ladies room

Located behind the mall, their parking area is a bit small, but right across the road is plenty of parking in the mall lot. It's not a busy road and easy to cross. They have opened their outdoor seating area as warmer weather has arrived. It was full the day we visited and sits adjacent to the parking lot. They do take reservations, so perhaps call ahead to reserve your spot if outside is your goal. The interior is very nice. Calm. Not a lot of tchotchkes cluttering up the space. A large bar takes up the center of the room with high top tables around the edges of the room. Two restrooms (one ladies, one men's) are on the far side of the dining room down a short hall. They are large and clean. I don't recall a diaper area. This is a wine and whiskey bar. The wine selection is mostly Californian with several Italian, a French and a couple New Zealand and Washington State's thrown into the mix. The whiskey selection is larger. They also have a full bar, a nice 'mocktail' menu and beers on tap. The food menu includes many starters and several salads to which you can add a protein. They offer grilled pizza, burgers and sandwiches, a few bowls, pasta, steak, chicken and fish entrees as well as several solid veg and rice sides. We chose handhelds for our meal. My Crunchy Cod sandwich description states is it 'Cajun' battered, includes fried jalapenos on the bun and a chipotle aioli. I was expecting this sandwich to burst with flavor. It didn't. The cod was a nice thick piece, lightly battered and cooked to a flaky moist consistency. The fried jalapenos add a nice texture and a little bit of flavor. Overall I expected a more lively sandwich. I opted for the house salad as my side which is a spring mix with chopped tomato and onion. Dressing on the side. The Buffalo Burger was not 'Buffalo sauce' spicy overall. The fries were tasty. I know restaurants have to cater to a lot of different pallets which perhaps is why the description is spicier than the actual item. Maybe there should be a sliding scale of how hot you want your sandwich when ordering. In any event, the quality of each sandwich component was good and the taste was fine. We just won't be dreaming about them.

Chicken sandwich and side Caesar salad
Moe E.

I stopped in for lunch after hearing about this place from friends and I thought it was great! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked good. The atmosphere was nice and our waiter was very friendly :) I got the chicken sandwich which was amazing. My friend got the black bean burger which also looked great! I will say, the side salad was delicious and I saw some other salads coming out of the kitchen that looked amazing. I'll be back!

In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

Our waitress was very nice and patient with us while we took awhile to order. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my friend got the ceasar wrap. The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.

Updated review. This place is still pumping and jumping!…read more Isaiah S. was such a delight to be served by. Very knowledgeable, told me about the Newport restaurants points app, fun ways to eat the dishes and gave the best description and inside scoop on all foods. Everything was seasoned well, and hot. Our only take away was if the porkchops had something with a different texture added to it. The bread pudding w the ice cream was fantastic as well, sweet gooey goodness. This is an accessible restaurant, with a ramp, automatic doors and handicap parking. It's a shared parking lot still, but there are signs indicating where you can or can't park. Low low music. Lighting is dim, space to walk between tables, clean bathrooms.

Our server, Jenna, visited our table soon after we were seated and brought us water. We were waiting for other members of our party, and she never made us feel rushed or pressured. While waiting, we put in drink orders and the "Lavender Fields Forever" cocktail that I ordered (Rhodium Gin, lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, snap pea simple syrup) was so delicious, and garnished with a beautiful sprig of lavender flowers. We ordered two appetizers: Point Judith Calarmari and Corn Arepas. The calamari had too many tentacles and not enough rings for me, but the arepas were excellent. The cornmeal base was crispy and hot, and there was just the right amount of meat and toppings. For entrees, our group ordered the Chimichurri Grilled Chicken sandwich, The rigatoni with pink sauce and sausage with crispy chicken as an add on, the short ribs over mashed potatoes, the Wood-Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop, and the Rib Eye Steak. We all enjoyed our entrees. It is evident that Iron Works uses high quality ingredients and puts a great amount of care into the preparation fo their food. We split three desserts amongst the five of us: The flourless chocolate torte, the cheesecake, and the Banoffee Sundae. The flourless torte was rich and very chocolately, and the cheesecake was very good as well. I'm not a fan of bananas, so I didn;t try the Sundae, but the friend who ordered it enjoyed it. After dinner, we sat and chatted for awhile,, and we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. This was a very enjoyable evening in a great restaurant environment with delicious food.

The restaurant has a tree house in front of the entrance which explain the name of the place. Inside is beautifully decorated with flowers, books, old books and decorations. It's a busy place so we made a reservation. We were taken to one of the table and were seated right away. They offer various different type of dishes including sandwich, seafood, mac and cheese, salad, pizza and more. We ended up getting few things to share with the group. We got tree house tavern salad, special Thai mussel, sweet potato pizza, lobster mac and cheese, and whipped feta and ricotta. Everything end up arriving all at once. Treehouse tavern salad was slightly sweet and refreshing with candied walnut, apple and vinegary dressing. Thai mussel was flavorful with hint of Thai curry and coconut flavor. The broth paired very well with baguette. Sweet potato pizza was cheesy and savory with hint of sweetness from the sweet potato. Lobster mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful with lobster chunks. Whipped feta and ricotta was sweet and savory pairing well with the baguette. All the food was tasty and easy very unique for the most part. We also had their desert which they bring full samples of all their desert to show. We ended up sharing cheese cake because we were pretty full. Service was good but the place was but the server was but awkward as little details were missing from the service. Lack of trays for mussel shells, brought desert with candle as it was my birthday but was blown out because of the fan. The server turned off the fan but left it off so it was hot inside for a while. I think service could use a bit more attention. Overall the place was good and food was excellent. They offer unique dishes you don't often find in other restaurants. The ambience is also nice and it reminds me of old time tree house. I would go back again m.

It's also very shareable (thought I took a pic but didn't..oops!). The churros were crispy and came in 4 pieces with a side of chocolate to dip. It was good but could be a bit softer inside.

They were very nice about it, so extra star for not being rude to me but the owner really needs to have this place deep cleaned and make some updates. I remember coming here to the grand opening and really loving it here. We often visit the one in Smithfield and it's clean and food always delicious. I felt bad but I'm a little OCD (I'm a nurse) and have had food poisoning in the past. If the common areas are dirty I worry what the kitchen looks like.

When we're craving something a little more thoughtful than the standard eggs-and-toast routine, this is where we land. The menu is creative without being over the top, the flavors are usually dialed in, and it consistently feels like brunch with intention. This last visit, however, turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. We sat at the bar around 1pm, which is our usual move. The service was great. We were welcomed right away and had drinks in front of us in no time. I ordered a draft Blue Moon and my partner went with a glass of wine. Both were cold, fresh, and exactly what they should be. We started with the lemon ricotta donuts. These were delightful. The texture was spot on, tender and light thanks to the ricotta, with that perfect sugar coating. I would have loved a slightly more assertive lemon flavor in the dough itself, but they smartly included thinly sliced lemon rind on top so you could dial it up yourself. A thoughtful touch and a really nice way to begin the meal. My partner ordered the avocado toast for her main and it was as beautiful as it was flavorful. The sourdough had a great chew and structure, the avocado was well seasoned, and the sprinkle of cotija brought just the right salty pop. Bright tomatoes, pickled onions, microgreens, everything worked together. This dish absolutely delivered. I went with the Eggs Benedict Florentine, which I've had before and really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this time it missed the mark in a few areas. First, the poached eggs. The whites were a bit loose in spots and the yolks were slightly overdone. I know poaching can be tricky, it took me a while to master at home, but it was surprising to see the interior more cooked than expected while parts of the white still lacked structure. It was manageable, just not what I've come to expect here. Next was the mustard hollandaise. I was really looking forward to that punch of mustard, especially since I've had it shine before, but this time it felt muted. It was also looser than I prefer in a hollandaise. I love a good hollandaise, even better a béarnaise, and this one just didn't have the richness or body I was hoping for. Then there was the tomato. I understand we're not in peak tomato season, but even so, I can usually find more flavorful options at local markets and grocery stores. It appeared to be a standard beefsteak, and it just didn't bring much to the plate. A Campari or another variety with more natural sweetness and acidity would have elevated the dish and complemented the nicely cooked, flavorful spinach far better. On a positive note, the bolo was excellent. Such a great choice over the traditional English muffin and a perfect fit for a local spot like this. It had great texture and the slight sweetness usually balances the mustard hollandaise perfectly. Overall, Avenue N remains a place we truly enjoy. This visit just didn't quite live up to what we know they're capable of. I'm confident it was an off day, and we'll absolutely be back.
