- CClaudineVIPGreater Boston •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe went for Valentine’s Day with another couple. We were all thrilled with the Brie special appetizer with the pears!! Please add this to the regular menu as it was outstanding. 2 of us had the lobster ravioli special and were blown away with how delicious it was. We both commented that they were far and away the best lobster raviolis we had ever had. The sauce was especially delicious and so different. My husband tried the steak special and loved that as well. The accompaniment vegetable which was a layered ‘something’ which he could not identify was apparently delicious. The last of us had the sole Milanese and this was also loved. As usual the staff was excellent as were the views of the water. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!More infoThe Mooring RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Newport•4.7

- BBarryGreater Boston •8 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe always have a great experience at the Boat House in the summer, and eating there in February was as good if not better! The food was excellent; as my wife, who has celiac, went with the Grilled Salmon and root veggies and I went outside my comfort zone for the pastrami rubbed swordfish on rye with some terrifc cole slaw...their version of a reuben. The service was terrific and the prices more than reasonable. A great night out...I couldn't believe how full the restaurant was on a blustery night, but we were in and out in record time.More infoBoat House Waterfront DiningPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Tiverton•4.8
