    My husband and I went to Newport this week for my birthday and stayed at The Gardiner House’s sister property, The Francis Malbone House. Flora came highly recommended and we went there for my birthday last night on May 27th. Flora is every bit as wonderful as we were told and they treated us so well! They gave us a beautiful table on the deck with amazing views of the bay and served us one of the best dinners we’ve ever had! They made my birthday so special and I highly recommend this amazing restaurant - 5 stars!

    We had not been to The Mooring in some time and wanted to see what had changed since our last visit. When I made the reservation, I informed the restaurant that the dinner was a special occasion- our 36th wedding anniversary. The host greeted us warmly and we were shown to our table. Our table was one of the best in the building right on the water looking out at Newport Harbor. On the table was a card signed by several members of the staff. The menu is varied and everyone should be able to find something on it to satisfy their tastes. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. The restaurant has a decent wine list that covers many varietals and all price points. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and it will not be long before we return.

    This restaurant did not disappoint. We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. The hostess made sure we picked a table that we wanted. Both our meals were amazing. I got soup and the temperature was perfect not too hot not too cool. I also had fish tacos, so good not over spiced at all. My husband had Octopus which was perfectly prepared. We will be going back!
