Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Westport

Best restaurant in Newport, outstanding food, outstanding drinks, and outstanding service. As an example of the attention to detail, the waiter even replaced my wife’s white napkin with a black napkin (we didn’t ask for this) so that she would not get white lint on her dark pants!

We arrived late but it was not a concern for the Mooring staff. One suggestion, on the reservation add a telephone number that you can call to tell them you are running late. The number given does not connect to a real person, and is only informative. Food was great as usual. Please do not sell out to Nicholas S.

Amazing food and friendly service. Great atmosphere. My husband and I love this place. Thank you!!! Many blessings and success!!!

We were a table of four on a busy Saturday night. Despite the full house the waitstaff were on top of their game and very attentive. Shout out to Matt who was our server and went above and beyond to keep us happy. We ordered several apps--highlights were the chicken spring rolls (fresh and light) and the very fresh and well chilled oysters (Eastham). The shrimp dumplings were a bit of a disappointment--heavy and greasy pan fried dough and it was hard to detect the shrimp filling. That was the only mediocre item all night though. The main courses were excellent. Steak tips, Pad Thai and Ramen were our main entrees. Don't laugh at my ramen choice--this is not the stuff you ate in college. A deeply flavorful broth topped with fresh steamed vegetables, a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg, smoked chicken, bean sprouts and cilantro covered a bowlful of perfectly cooked ramen noodles. We still managed to find room to split a dessert--apple crisp and ice cream-excellent. Drinks were generous and well made. We really appreciated the high quality live music. And even with the lively music, we could still have a conversation and hear ourselves talk. We'll be back soon--it's one of our favorite spots.
