1/2 Shell Oyster - Newport

Had a lovely lunch here. The crab cakes on an arugula salad was perfection! Sadly, they did not have fresh brewed iced tea. Service was good, I think we were there at an off time, because it wasn't very busy on a Sunday afternoon. The seafood smell was so strong on walking in it was almost a little off-putting, but hey, what were we there for but some seafood? I'd definitely go here again.

Yes! If you're in Newport and want FRESH seafood...go here. My husband and I went for the Lobster al Diavolo....Worth it! It's a dish made for two and we confirmed it!! All the seafood was great and the marinara had a slight bite to it!! Definitely going back. Best to go early when they open if you don't want to wait for a table just walking in.

The place looked nice inside but we decided to eat outside. There was a few hiccups with service which included lack of utensils and napkins once our appetizer and then meal arrived. Menu was obscure of detail and no price if was listed. We had to use our phones to get more details and market prices . Drinks were delivered and were pleasantly good. Server brought water and bread maybe as a peace offering but the bread was best served to seagulls. I had calamari scampi and wife had shrimp scampi. Hers was delivered on a plate mine was served in a pan which I thought was odd. The cheese and flavorings were stuck to bottom. The calamari was decent but the linguine was a little to all dente for my liking.

It was great! Great service, great food. Totally would recommend.

Stopped in for a light dinner with the family. Love the open kitchen concept. A bit of a wait even though some tables were empty and ready for patrons? Friendly wait staff. ordered some Oysters, shrimp cocktail and crab claws as an app. and everything tasted very good. For dinner it was a small order of linguine with red sauce, Shrimp scampi and a spicey tuna roll, again very good. Portion sizes were on the small side but not to overpriced. Recommend
