    Fish sandwich and sweet potato fries
    Rich H.

    What a Great lunch place, our server Tati was super friendly and informative. My wife had the Coconut Shrimp on a Caesar salad and said they the best she had ever had. My Fish sandwich was a generous portion and cooked perfectly, even the roll was buttered and grilled nicely.

    I tried JB's for the first time and loved the atmosphere. Growing up here, I hadn't been back for a meal where the old restaurant was in years. I like what they have done with the outdoor seating area with a fireplace right next to the water. It is a beautiful spot! I had the barbacoa bowl and an aperol spritz. The bowl was a good size. I love how they label their menu for allergens and have some gluten free options. Definitely make a reservation a few days in advance to get the best dinner times in the summer.

    Great drink. Great company

    Best view in Jamestown. Reliably solid food options with classic New England service. Decent drink menus with rotating specialty cocktails. Tried the lobster roll BLT for brunch plenty of lobster!

    Outstanding views. Beautiful day. Easter Sunday brunch. May have been THE WORST brunch I have EVER EVER had. Below average food. Excellent fruit salad. Excellent prime rib, but it disappeared 1/2 way through dinner. Ok tossed salad. Over cooked coconut chicken, which was inedible. Dried out egg bites, unappetizing looking French toast. It was pathetic. Never again. I attended a bridal shower here 5 months ago and it was very good. It's just a mistake to go out for Easter dinner. Lesson learned.

    We had a fabulous outdoor table with a great view of Newport Harbor, it was a bit windy but it was warm enough. We decided to share the mussels appetizers as well as the fish and chips. Both were delicious but we really didn't expect them to come at the same time. So it was kind of rushed to eat both.

    When in Rome, right? I had a serious craving for a lobster roll while visiting downtown Newport, but I was completely overwhelmed by how packed everything was with tourists. So, on my way back to Connecticut, my family and I decided to stop in Jamestown instead and I'm so glad we did! We stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant right on the water. The lobster roll was excellent (they offer both hot and cold versions), and paired with some cozy fall drinks and that gorgeous ocean view, I couldn't have been happier we made this little detour.

    We came here for the views, and it did not disappoint - this place is right on the water in a quiet little nook in Jamestown that is part of a hotel. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. Service was friendly and prompt, and the bloody mary was solid. We had the scallops, steak tips, and burrata salad, which were pretty good, but nothing really stood out as memorable. The potatoes were a bit gluey, and the steak wasn't seasoned very much, but I'd come back for the ambiance, apps, and drinks.

    First time we came here, LOVED IT! Loved the ambience, staff, food, etc. Stacey was awesome and our food was delicious: charcuterie, coconut shrimp, fig burger, and orange/burrata salad ( although it could use some beets). Second time, ambience and staff still wonderful but the food was lacking something this time. We ordered the cod, fish N chips, and fish tacos. They also had the same flavor which should not be the case. Fish N Chips should have that Cajun, peppery flavor (which it did). My son didn't eat his fish tacos bc it had that peppery Cajun flavor as well. My cod, I ate, bc I thought it's supposed to have that Cajun flavor. But! Their drink, was very satisfying and I'd return for that. Lol. It was a watermelon margarita with tajin and it was deeeeLicious.

    Lite dinner

    Wonderful fish tacos and we shared the Mediterranean trio. Sat on the porch on a Tuesday evening and watched the sail racing. Good prices for seafood ch a spectacular location. Highly recommend

    Watermelon feta salad
    Vijay S.

    Great spot for food and drinks in Jamestown. Beautiful location with an excellent view of the Newport Bridge. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Upscale beachy ambiance. We got the watermelon feta salad, fish and chips, and JB's lobster roll. Everything tasted delicious. Loved the combination of the feta, arugula, and prosciutto. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the lobster roll was delicious and affordable. Service was good though they kept coming to our table with the wrong order. Overall very good experience; I would def come back here. Bit pricey.

    Mussels

    We visited on 10/18/25. The food was great. The service was great. The mussels were delicious, so was the lobster roll and pasta. Overall a very enjoyable experience!

    Found this gem after we took one of our coastal drives for the day in RI and landed in Jamestown after exploring the island on a cold day filled with off and on flurries. We were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful view of the Newport Bridge while we enjoyed the meatballs and brussel sprouts! Both were great and the service was too!

    Just got into Wyndham resort and discovered the pub attached was open. Came in late , 5 min to closing. We ordered clam chowder. It was cool asked to have it warmed up, husband enjoyed it but I felt it was lacking in flavor maybe salt/pepper would have helped but the chief should have done that. Lots of clams. He ordered the chicken sandwich, pretty good. I had the fig/prosciutto flat bread (again cool seemed more bready then would have expected ). It had lots of cheese, visible prosciutto and fig balsamic drizzle on top. Bar had a beautiful setting view of water, wrap around seating in/outside. Bar area with high tops too. Very nice ambiance. Server was great, friendly and attentive considering she had been there 10 hours.

    Lobster Mac and Cheese with double lobster ($50 but I was celebrating so I didn't care)

    We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!
