We were greeted by the most gracious hostess and waitress. Our every need and request was promptly attended to. The Seafood Galilee and the Baked Scrod were prepared to perfection. The shrimp were cooked just right, not rubbery. The vegetables were fresh, the coffee was hot and delicious and the price was excellent as there are many specials to take... More

We ate it as a group of 12 or 13 and when we got there the place was empty. Table was set up and waiting and we were given one waitress. I ordered a drink and was told they didn' t have the wine I ordered. Then ordered dinner, off the menu, she took everyone's order and came back to... More

We made reservations for 6 PM when they opened and found the place to be empty. They did not have enough fish for 2 orders. Had to chang mine to a Salmon Salad and the salmon was overcooked. This is a good place for the younger crowd due to it is a Bar atmosphere where I believe they might have... More

My wife and I went to this place when we went to Newport to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. This place has a live music band at night. The music was excellent. We recommend this place to anyone that loves music and dancing.

But kinda cramped and hard to get a drink. Depends on who they have playing. Good live music with reasonably priced door fee. Some of the tribute bands really rock.

Mooring came highly recommended by several locals. The location is perfect - next to the water! I only had a salad and clams. The clams definitely met my expectation but the green salad was just okay - next time I'd get soup!

I too, have had an awful experience in dealing with the manager of this bar! I'm so appalled by her actions towards me that I feel compelled to write a review and tell others to avoid this place! This past weekend I was visiting a cousin in Newport for the first time, coming from New York. I had a great... More

We heard 80's music and walked in. $5.00 cover charge no biggie and a great and fun 80's cover band. We found our way to the upstairs bar and had 2 HUGE glasses of Tequila. A really fun night !

We went on a Thursday night in August 2012, and they had a 2 meals for $19 special. We had salmon with sweet potato fries, and fish and chips. Both were cooked very well, not over or underdone, with tasty accompaniments. They also threw in a good bottle of wine for only $8 more, and the waitress was very friendly... More

We went to see the Journey coverband, Separate Ways. This is a great venue to see a show. Only a $5 pp cover charge and beers were reasonably priced. Plenty of room for dancing if you would like. Acoustics were great and they have a variety of entertainers on their calendar. We loved the location...right in the middle of all... More
