However, I noticed an empty table available at the time. Fortunately, we were able to quickly make a reservation once we stepped outside and were then seated at that same table minutes later. I hope this is not a common occurrence, as it can take away from the overall experience and initial impression. That said, our server Sydney ( Australia), was incredibly kind and attentive. She ensured we were well taken care of from start to finish, which truly elevated our visit. The food and drinks were both excellent, and overall, I had a great experience after the mishap . I would recommend this place to friends and would consider returning in the future.

Our server was Jess and what a standout - attentive, friendly and very helpful. She greeted us as soon as we walked in and told us to sit anywhere we liked. The place was very busy on Memorial Day but the turnaround was fast. My coffee was good and refills came quickly. Staff seemed to work well together and they all seemed to help each other to clear tables and refill drinks. For my breakfast I had the Portuguese Sailor. Jess mentioned that this was very popular and one of her favorites so I went for it. This dish was excellent. They make their chourico in-house and I loved it! Eggs were cooked perfectly over Bolo bread. This dish was perfectly executed and it is a winner. A great breakfast spot in Portsmouth--glad we found it.

We tried Spring House Seafood Grill before a flight and found ourselves in the rarest of airport…read moreecosystems: a place that feels almost... civilized. The ambiance leans unexpectedly upscale, though be prepared, as one does at an airport, to dine among piles of luggage, tired families, and loud travelers. Service was where this place truly shined. Our server and the manager were gracious to a fault--cheerfully removing a dish we didn't love without the slightest hint of inconvenience. It set the tone for a genuinely pleasant experience. The sesame wings were the standout: perfectly sauced, that ideal sticky balance of sweet and savory that leaves you contemplating a second order. The smash burger followed suit--gooey, indulgent, and demolished without hesitation. The chili, alas, missed the mark. Not offensive, just... sleepy. Smoky but lacking the chili-forward warmth and spice we crave. A neighboring table raved about the clam chowder, which, in hindsight, felt like the wiser path. A crisp Riesling and a cold Yuengling rounded things out--arguably the perfect pre-flight pairing. All told, a surprisingly charming airport stop, even if not every dish quite takes off. -Chance & Becky - All Ahead Slow

Airport restaurants aren't supposed to impress but they should be inviting, not so much this bar…read more Had myself a Sam and ordered the blackened chicken sandwich. Beer was fine, sandwich had zero flavor and the jelly spread was on the plate instead of the sandwich.

For the experience you get, the price point is reasonable and worth it. Our server (deckhand) was very accommodating and had a warm and eager to serve demeanor. He went above and beyond. The food...oh my God, the food was top tier. Beautifully plated and rich with flavors. The skill of the chef and their team really shined through. My cocktail was a blueberry bourbon smash which was fantastic. Starting with a beautiful and tasty beet salad and their take on Ahi Tuna wontons that really prepped my taste buds and appetite. Then moving into a Swordfish special with broccoli, mashed potatoes and grilled and spiced corn on the cob that was quartered into bite size pieces. Ending on a tres leches that brought me right to heavens gates all to end on a high note of a dining experience.

I think this place is pretty good, but also pretty average. They have a nice outdoor seating area,…read morewe went at 5pm on a Monday and the service was fairly quick. Our appetizers came out in less than 5 minutes, but our food took a little over 30 minutes. I'm aware the main course will take longer to prepare, but it was odd how fast the appetizers came out, so it raised our hopes a bit too much for the main course. My parents got red and white sangria. They were decent, but for $12 a glass it probably wasn't worth it. We got the brussel sprouts and calamari for an appetizer. The brussel sprouts were amazing, but the sauce made it a bit too salty. The calamari was also good, but I've had better, and it didn't even come with peppers. I got the blackened chicken with rice and carrots. The blacked chicken was amazing, I would definitely recommend that. However, the rice was extremely bland and the carrots weren't anything to write home about. My mom got the chicken alla vodka sandwich, which wasn't the best either. There was barely any sauce on the sandwich, and the little that was, was on the very side of the sandwich. She got truffle fries as her side which I thought were super yummy. My dad for the fish n chips, which was good. Overall, the dinner was fine. However, nothing is bringing us back for another meal. The server was very nice and attentive too. Honestly, I'd rather go to Blu on the Water if I was in the area for dinner.

Johnny's is located within the Wyndham Hotel in Middletown RI…read more My wife and I often stay here as the hotel is excellent, however this review relates to Johnny's. As noted above we have eaten here in the past. We have dined with large as well as small groups and have always been pleased. The place is beautiful, especially in the summer. The outdoor patio bar boasts a great view of Green End Pond. A great place to grab a drink and an appetizer. We started out on the patio and returned later for dinner. Based on our sub par experience the night before (see prior review) I was committed to having a great meal. We were not disappointed. I started with the clam chowder. Delicious. Flavorful and loaded with clams. My wife opted for the lobster bisque In an effort to negate the lousy lobster bisque she had on the previous night. Mission accomplished. She described it as buttery and creamy. Essentially the perfect bisque flavor. Contained within the bisque was a tremendous chunk of delicious lobster meat . For dinner, I chose the baked stuffed shrimp. It was delicious. Cooked to perfection with delicious stuffing, rice, pilaf, and broccoli. My only complaint is that I believe there should be more than 4 shrimp at this price. My wife selected the Pasta Bolognese. A dish that she has had and several other restaurants in several states and she ranked this right at the top of the list. Plenty of beef and pork combined with a tasty Italian sauce. When in the Newport area I suggest you skip the over hyped restaurants and head to Johnny's for a delicious meal with great atmosphere.

Took a couple of bites couldn't even chew it .. extremely tough, almost like eating fried bacon that was overcooked. The coleslaw was terrible too . Chopped cabbage no seasoning , no mayo , no nothing . Raw cabbage !!! Finally decided to send it back, ordered a simple cheeseburger, it was not great. Asked the waitress to cut it in half she had to consult with another waitress asking, can I send this back to be cut in half The bill comes with an automatic 20% gratuity added, large group of us. I pay with a 100 bill, was very pricey and the waitress asked if I wanted change !! I said yes please I see your tip is included in the bill ... really a 40.00 tip! I was not impressed. Pricey, and subpar food. The band was great, Nice location as well.
