When I recently spent the day in Newport, I was thrilled when my friend suggested we stop here for lunch. I don't think it gets more fresh than Newport Lobster Shack - this is literally run by the fisherman and right by the docs where they are catching this daily. What a treat! Our group of three opted for two lobster rolls, a side of fries, and then a twin lobster dinner. Holy wow - this was the best. Everything was so fresh and incredible. I would definitely pop in here for a meal if you're in the area - fresh lobster, great views, and easy parking.

Based on my reviews, one would think I'm rarely satisfied with where the hostess seats us. I'd say…read moremy percentage is 60/40. However, if I don't feel that the ambience and nearby environment is suitable to spend anything -especially $200+ for a great meal, I request a change. Again, our anniversary weekend-they asked celebrating anything? And then led us to a 4-top in the back of restaurant, by a wait station (another pet peeve of mine with all the clattering of clean up etc), next to a table with a screaming baby. I have 3 children, but when out with my husband, I'd prefer not to be dealing with that nonsense during dinner (nor should a baby be out that late in a nice restaurant IMO) Alas, I immediately requested a different table. They were able to accommodate us at a 2-top, by a window that proved to be much better for us. (But why would they think we'd want the previous table and sadly you could hear the baby from the back at the hostess stand...So let's just march this couple toward the screaming baby in the back and hope they like it?) Bottom line-if it wasn't for the service from Carrigan, our server, and the VERY TASTY Oysters and Shrimp with an amazing broth, this experience wouldn't have been as enjoyable. Dinners were good-husband had swordfish, I had the Chilean Bass, but nothing special. I typically don't mind a high top, but will say that the uncomfortable chairs are difficult to push in and barely fit under the table. Overall, a nice dinner and experience. Oh and Carrigan, our server, did comp us dessert for our anniversary weekend. For the record, it's not that I expect anything for free, but when a restaurant app asks are you celebrating something when making the reservation, then make it be known to the staff or worthwhile. As most of you know, when celebrating a special occasion with or for someone, it's a royal pain to get up and discreetly ask the server for a dessert or special favor.

Sea scallops were just as tender and sweet and smooth! Service in the other hand was not as fabulous! We ordered bread and it came out 1/2 way after our entree was finished. But it was fabulous bread! Server never returned to offer more drinks or inquire how our meal was. We also had to request our bill so we could leave. The atmosphere was nice, nothing spectacular.

If you're in Newport, I think this is THE place for oysters. I love their whole day happy hour…read moreTuesdays where oysters are $1.50 each. The only other thing we can rave about is their pan roasted mussels. My boyfriend is in love with it. We also ordered calamari but we didn't like it. It was tasteless.

From the moment we walked up, the host team greeted us with so many smiles and such great energy…read more Katie introduced herself as the GM, was right there welcoming incoming guests herself. It was a BUSY Saturday night, we had no reservation, and the bar was packed... but divine timing somehow worked in our favor and two seats opened up right at the end of the bar. That's where we met Nick behind the bar, and honestly, he made the night. Nick was working the service well, taking care of a packed bar and banging out beautifully curated cocktails. I still don't know how he was that efficient while also taking the time to walk us through the entire menu. You could tell he genuinely took pride in the food he was describing and wanted us to experience it. I started with the Mezcal Negroni and from there we decided on a few small bites. First, the ricotta gnudi... perfectly fried and warm with just the right bite on the outside, then you break into this warm, soft little pillow of ricotta that was an absolute flavor bomb. Finished with freshly shaved Parmesan on top. I swear for a second I thought I was sitting somewhere on the water in Italy. Then the Scotch bonnet egg... WOW... truly every dish was just mind blowing ...all this dishes we ate....Nothing overpowered anything else. Every bite mattered. You could actually taste every layer and every little detail that went into all the dishes. Then came the beef tartare. Beautifully presented with the green crab purée in the center and crispy chips for that perfect crunch. Katie came over herself to explain the dish, and once you got everything together in one bite... absolute flavor explosion. Rich, bright, creamy, salty, crunchy. Everything on that plate had a purpose. We were also told we HAD to try the sweet corn agnolotti and THANK GOD we listened. Another complete flavor bomb. Absolutely amazing. It genuinely gives some of my favorite Italian restaurants in Beverly Hills El Baldi a run for their money. At this point Nick basically said, "Trust me," and asked if he could choose our next course. YES. PLEASE. Out came this gorgeous lamb sausage with fresh greens, snap peas, mint, dill, pickled vegetables and this beautiful creamy green sauce underneath. THAT DISH. The sausage was rich, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, but all those fresh herbs, greens and acidity made the entire plate feel bright and balanced. Hearty and comforting while somehow still tasting fresh and light. Then Nick convinced us to put our trust in him one last time and let him choose dessert. He brought out the bread pudding and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the PERFECT ending to this entire food adventure. I literally had tears in my eyes. The food, the cocktails, the service, the salt water in the air, the smiles from the staff... everything just came together.....Nothing was pretentious. Everything was highly elevated while still having this incredible sense of warmth and comfort. It almost felt like being welcomed into someone's home and they just happened to be cooking some of the best food you've ever eaten. Huge shoutout to GM Katie and bartender Nick. Thank you both for giving us one of the most amazing and memorable dining experiences I've ever had. We walked in on a packed Saturday night without a reservation, just hoping to grab a couple seats, have a cocktail and eat something good... and walked out feeling like we had experienced something really special. 10/10. Every bite. Every cocktail. Every detail. I would go back in a heartbeat.

The restaurant was packed, and since we didn't have a reservation, we ended up sitting in the bar area. Honestly, that wasn't a bad thing--the views of the sunset and the wharf were beautiful. The drinks came out quickly, although my cocktail had way too much citrus. The oysters arrived next, and they were fresh and delicious, so we were all feeling pretty good about the meal and looking forward to our entrées. Unfortunately, that's where things went downhill. We waited an entire hour for our entrées to arrive, and the waitstaff wasn't very forthcoming with updates. We had to track someone down anytime we had a question or needed something, which became very frustrating. Once the food finally arrived, it was disappointing. Several of the dishes were extremely salty. I ordered the swordfish, which was slightly overcooked, and the vegetables were overwhelmingly acidic, as if an entire bottle of vinegar had been poured over them. They were also topped with a generous amount of capers, making the dish even saltier. Overall, it just wasn't enjoyable. I mentioned my concerns to our waitress, but unfortunately, she didn't seem particularly concerned. Hopefully, she passed the feedback along to the chef so some adjustments can be made. The beautiful waterfront setting and fresh oysters were definitely highlights which gained a star here but unfortunately, the long wait, lack of communication, and disappointing entrées overshadowed the experience.

Every table and bar seat was packed so I highly recommend having a reservation or be prepared to wait a bit. The Romaine & Kale Caesar Salad with Chicken Milanese was genuinely tremendous. Such an elite combination from the freshness & creaminess of the salad to the crispiness and saltiness of the Chicken Milanese. Since we were sharing, they pre-split the portion for us which was a nice hassle-free experience. I could've honestly ended the meal here and been super content. I rarely see oven roasted pizza on the menu so we decided to try the Oven Roasted Chicken Grilled Pizza. The best part was actually the dough; it's thin enough where the roasted/grilled flavor comes through. The pesto and arugula were both good and paired well with the grilled chicken. The Tagliatelle was savory, earthy, and not overly creamy. The pasta itself was cooked just right. Since we were celebrating a birthday, I was so grateful that they offered us a complimentary slice of Limoncello Mascarpone Cake. It was so good! Moist, creamy, and not too sweet or citrusy. It was a pleasant bite to end the meal on. Great spot!

Inside, they offer a variety of prepared seafood and other items. I originally ordered a clam chowder but then noticed the lobster bisque and decided to get that instead. I ordered a medium, and when I was told the total was $19 and change, I honestly thought there had been a mistake and that I was being charged for both the clam chowder and the lobster bisque. Nope! $17.99 was just for the medium lobster bisque. Unfortunately, for that price, I was expecting something exceptional, and it just wasn't. I've definitely had much better lobster bisque elsewhere for less. I also wasn't particularly impressed by the appearance of some of the prepared foods inside. The location itself was nice to visit, especially being so close to the marina, but based on the quality and price of what I ordered, I personally wouldn't return. $17.99 for a medium lobster bisque was simply too expensive for what I received.
