I went to the restaurant Friday afternoon and was seated soon after arrival.
I sat with my fiancé for about 30 minutes without a waiter or server acknowledging my presence with water or a "I'll be right with."
After several more minutes without any service, we got up and left. The waiters and servers were helping everyone around us. Maybe they didn't want the business. We walked out and went somewhere better. The food looked average at best. Way over rated. I would never return to this place or recommend it to anyone.

We enjoyed this wonderful restaurant in late February 2009. The staff was friendly and courteous, the food medium priced and delicious. We particulalry recommend the New England Clam Chowder. At this time of year free parking is available and most of the tourist traps are closed. This and the Black Pearl (it was closed) are all that remains of Newport fine dining of the 60s and 70s. Christie's is gone as is The Pier and all of the smaller waterfront places are gone although a pretender to the former's name exists (not recommended). Much of what we knew of downtown Newport has been horribly yuppified (Christie's replaced by a condo, Howard's Wharf a mess and surrounded by condos, etc). I wouldn't want to come close in summer.
