Pretty good place for a wedding!!! A lot of money for a smallish venue, would recommend for a…read moresummer wedding but maybe not a winter wedding as the ceremony would also have to be inside. If you plan on getting married in a church this is also a good option for the reception. They usually let you stay until 11. Kids are allowed, it's elegant, over looks the water, bathrooms are clean and there is a full bar and a half bar. Somewhat easy parking, especially for the first 50ish cars. Again don't have a massive wedding here lol Anyway it was clean and everything seemed perfect

We waited 15 minutes and watched 5 bartenders with their heads down. No smiles, no eye contact. When we arrived, there were 6 people. We understood and waited patiently but as people trickled out, still no help. Maybe there was a switching of shifts happening and some form of communication would have been nice. A "Hi, how are you? Will be right with you" is not something they do there. Couldn't believe it. Never experienced anything like this and walked away disappointed. Maybe steps of service could be implemented because we had no service whatsoever and was ignored while standing at the bar with 1 other person who also was waiting to order.

This goes for the NYYC Harbor Court station in Newport, RI. Our Commodore was having his "Commodore Cruise" in New England and the closing dinner was to be at Harbor Court. Now, with COVID there was a limit on guests amd total crowd for a dinner. We had over 100 cruising ew England and over 80 were due for the final dinner. Add Henri the hurricane to the mix and we had some challenges for the dinner. We had cocktails on the front lawn. Then, the NYYC set is up outside in the motor court area for dinner. This allowed us to get our entire group together. Weather was perfect. Calm Before the storm as they say. We even had the opportunity to watch the clubs "colors" ceremony when they retreat the flag each evening prior to sunset. Now getting to the food and service. With COVID it is especially hard to find amd keep good servers. We struggle with that at our club. It here at the NYYC. First they had plenty of staff. A welcome reprise from those businesses who can't seem to ramp staff back up. Even more impressive, their staff are trained very well. Women first, serve from left, remove from Right etc... I was thoroughly impressed that during COVID, and the night before a major hurricane, the NYYC was able to host the dinner for the StFYC and do so at such a best-of-class level. If you have a chance to visit Harbor Court, don't miss it!

To be honest this place disappointed us. The food was just okay. The lumpia was great but our…read moreentrees lacked. My husband got the special- Miso Cod. And being the special you'd think it would be great. However, the rice was either very over cooked or very undercooked. He said it tasted very hard. I asked my server if my dish was a pasta dish since it was called Salmon Ragu, well it was indeed NOT a pasta dish. So I was pretty disappointed in that. The ambiance is great inside. I was really excited for this dinner but left pretty disappointed. Maybe they just had a bad day in the kitchen. Not sure but after spending $100 on my birthday dinner I wanted it to be better.

We stumbled upon the BEST experience at the Meeting Place! My husband, two friends, and I walked…read moreout of IYAC and were heading to the Fastnet when we heard amazing live blues music that stopped us in our tracks. The Meeting Place was hosting musician Big John Short and a small crowd of happy onlookers. We decided to check out the event and were welcomed in right away. Once we sat down, we were asked what we wanted to drink. Wine and beer were brought over, and when we reached for our wallets we were told, "the drinks are on us - just tip the musician!" WHAT?! How great is that? The vibe of the Meeting Place was so welcoming, fun, and alive. Everybody knew that they were witnessing something wonderful in both our hosts and the musician. Eventually, seats were cleared away and a dance floor opened up, bringing a room full of strangers together in foot-stomping, arm-swinging dancing. We were all laughing, sweating, and having one of the best nights, ever. Music stopped at 11:30 due to ordinance rules, and we made sure to make every last minute count. A few of us hung out once the music ended to chat with the owner and staff, who were, as expected, awesome human beings. This place is a great addition to the fabric of Newport and I'll be singing its praises to everyone I meet. Check them out for live music (I think on Friday and Saturday nights) and any other need you have for an event space!!!
