Great service. Came here for Thanksgiving - the Thanksgiving special menu was amazing. The deviled eggs with caviar were a surprising delight. The Thanksgiving plate was truly amazing and surely beat doing the cooking myself. Our table also ordered seafood which was done perfectly. The mixed drinks were perfectly blended. Our server was cheerful and prompt - highly recommend

Sail Loft never disappoints! Food and service are always on point. The hot honey chicken sandwich is perfection. If the cinnamon bread pudding is still on the menu, it’s a must have!

Our food was delicious! We went there partially to get the cauliflower app but it was no longer on the menu - we hope you’ll bring it back. My daughter is a vegetarian and sadly there seem to be fewer option on the menu than other Newport Rest group restaurants. Loved the brownie dessert, wow! Our server, Morgan?, was excellent and said she’d work with us on the vegetarian choices like asking the chef to make a pasta prima vera. She opted for a salad. If anything, I’d note my side salad seemed like it was freshly made and was a little cold and wilted. My daughter’s salad (both field greens with brussel sprouts) appeared to be the same. Are they made ahead of time and refrigerated, I wonder??
