It used to be Proof, and the current owner is slowly making it his own. Right now he doesn't have full time food service, but occasionally does pop ups. This is just a good place to go, have a beer, wine, or cocktail and hang out without being at a college bar or a place that over charged.

It's sad to say that our first experience at this restaurant was one of the most unprofessional…read moreimpressions we've ever experienced. Upon our 5:30 p.m. arrival, my wife and I were immediately seated in the far corner of the outdoor patio. From the beginning, the host's demeanor came across as cold and dismissive. When she told us to "enjoy," her tone made it clear she didn't mean what she said. When our waitress arrived, she wanted to explain what the daily specials were, but before she began, we politely asked if we could move to another section of the patio so we could sit in the sun. After speaking with the host, she returned with what I can only describe as a smart-ass attitude, saying, "Those tables are for people who actually have reservations." We completely understood if those tables were reserved, but there was absolutely no reason for the condescending attitude. Instead, we were moved to another corner table, and after the host decided to tell us "enjoy" with the same condescending tone. Once we sat down, I asked the waitress if she could explain the daily specials, but then she quickly replied, "now that we're at a different table, the other waitress/waiter will have to do that" since it wasn't her "zone". As we sat there, we couldn't help but notice what appeared to be a noticeable difference in how other guests were treated. The tables that gave off what I would describe as a more "upper class" appearance, well-dressed white guests who appeared more affluent, seemed to receive a warmer welcome and far more attentive service. Whether that was intentional or not, we couldn't shake the feeling that we were viewed differently. I'm white myself, but perhaps my tattoos or the fact that I was dining with my Brazilian wife caused us to be perceived differently. I honestly don't know. What I do know is that we left feeling like we didn't fit the restaurant's idea of its preferred clientele. For example, our waitress never offered us the option of tap or bottled water, while nearby "upper class" tables were given that choice. Around 6:10 p.m., we ordered appetizers, which took roughly 20 minutes to arrive, while tables seated after us were already receiving their food. We then placed our entrée orders and waited... and waited... and waited. In addition, we found a hair in the salad that we ordered, and when we brought it up to the waitress, her only answer was "that's impossible, everyone in the kitchen wears hairnets... At approximately 6:40 p.m., the hostess came to our table and explained there had been a "mix-up" because we had switched tables, causing our entrée order to be delayed. That explanation made very little sense. How does simply switching tables result in an order being delayed by that much? It pointed to a serious lack of communication between the front of the house and the kitchen. By approximately 6:50 p.m., I believe a manager came to our table and asked if there was anything he could do. At that point, I bluntly asked for the check because waiting well over an hour for our food was simply unacceptable. Ironically, our entrées finally arrived around 7:00 p.m., but by then we had completely lost our appetite. I sent the food back and again requested the check. Even then, it still took another 10 minutes to receive it. To the hostess's credit, she apologized, and I told her I appreciated the apology. However, I also explained that this restaurant clearly has a major communication problem. More importantly, the dismissive attitude we experienced from the moment we walked in set the tone for the entire evening and left us feeling unwelcome. In a nutshell: We waited an hour and a half for our food we never received, we were mistreated, felt discriminated, and there were still PLENTY of open tables in the patio facing the sun. This was our first visit to Narragansett, and unfortunately it was not the welcome we expected. I didn't even bother asking if the restaurant offered a military discount because, by that point, I already felt like we didn't belong. We will NEVER return.

The drink and food menu was amazingly creative and our server was very patient with us as we explored the various options - she even brought me a sample of the ginger marg that I eventually ended up ordering as a cocktail, it was delicious. I ordered the Thai Peanut noodles as I am a sucker for peanut noodle dishes and it did NOT disappoint! Hubby got the Chicken Salad Sammy which was a ginormous sandwich with peanut sauce and came with purple potato salad - those were also delicious!! They were recommended to me by a family member and I will definitely go back! So many interesting dishes to try out - highly recommend!!

I got the smash burger with a side of fries (shoestring, my favorite). It was delicious, perfectly cooked and not greasy. The bun was sesame bun was so fresh. My friend raved about her shrimp tacos and they looked yummy. We went in April on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy but I know it's a popular place and gets packed on the weekends. They had several TVs and this would be a great place to watch some sports and have a drink. Parking was fine for us but I could see it being a problem when it's busier. The prices were reasonable (great for Narragansett) and I noticed they had different weeknight promotions. Food is ordered on an app and picked up at the counters, sort of food court style. A must visit and I'll be sure to be back!

I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful of an experience I had here! I want to thank Eric and…read moreall of his staff for such a great first visit. Let's start off with the fact that currently on weekends from 10-12 if you purchase a cocktail, mocktail or NA beverage, you get a free brunch item. Like, wow! I got a mini Oreo mudslide (wow!!!) and got a free breakfast pizza. I'm literally OBSESSED with this pizza and am so sad I'm like 75 minutes from this spot. If I was local, I'd be there every weekend! It was so good! I also got the BOONwich for best sandwich RI and it was super creative. They are not playing with food here---they def mean business! Everything is unique and absolutely amazing. The staff is absolutely wonderful. I came in contact with at least half a dozen staff while there and each person was friendly and personable. The ambiance was fun, and looks even more like a blast when it's warm out. I'll def be back!

You can bring your own food and they have a some smaller plates available. There are a ton of great food options close by. They are also dog friendly. They also have all types of events each month. I'm definitely interested in the table top game nights. They also do trivia nights, live music and food trucks. We are definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

There's seats at the bar and a few high top tables with booth seating across from it. No reservations, walk ins only. I suggest keeping it to groups of 2-3. Anything larger is a tight fit. We came in after 10pm on a Saturday and were lucky to snag the only open table left. The craft cocktails are reasonably priced for the area at $15. There's a large variety and they even have mocktails. You can tell that the owners put creativity and thought into the drinks. They also have a food menu (snacks and small appetizers only) but we didn't get to try anything because it's only available until 10pm. Service was great. Bartenders are friendly and put a lot of love and effort into making your drinks. We ordered a margarita and a dark n' stormy (dark rum, lime, ginger beer). Both were presented beautifully and we enjoyed them! If you're in the Newport area and want to enjoy unique cocktails in a more intimate environment, definitely check this spot out.
