    Excellent, as usual. Smoked bluefish dip followed by the always wonderful Bermuda Fish Stew and perfectly cooked piece of swordfish. Always look forward to eating at Midtown whenever we're in Newport.

    Ambiance has changed since dividers on booths were removed. More open and louder than in the past. Oysters excellent and food very good. Very good value.

    Four of us met once a week to try Aquidneck Island restaurants. We really enjoyed the menu options from the fun cocktails to soup, oysters, entrees and dessert. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. My go to choice at places is linguini with clams this was was one of the best I have ever had. The addition of bacon and the measured use of garlic made it really delicious. I will definitely return to the restaurant. Even from walking in the door the experience was positive with a friendly hostess. Thanks!
