    We found our food to very expensive for what we had. They have changed a lot of things since we last visited. We didn’t get the pull apart bread the used to serve. And my crab salad lacked dressing and over all flavor. We usually enjoy this restaurant when visiting Newport but we are not sure we will return.

    I ordered the crab and avocado salad - the lettuce was the 'scraps' that must have been left over from other salads. The STUMP of the 'head' of lettuce was a portion of the bedding. Everyone else at the table was satisfied - I truly was not.
