But our meal was bland and had very little flavor. My short rib ( 1 rib) meal was loaded with grease. The sweet potato puree was too loose and bland. The kale was soaking in the grease, I couldn't eat it.

We had gone to a movie at the Jane Pickens theater and wanted to walk to dinner. Our reservations was for 7:00. When we entered there were many empty tables so we had the staff's full attention. We had a nice table on the ground floor but two seats were leaning against a cold stone wall - it was a windy night and the wall was a bit drafty. We ordered a bottle of wine and a few appetizers - delicious, oysters were okay, Brussel sprouts very good. Main courses were hearty portions, I could have shared. my bolognese with another person, others did share the pork chop. The wait staff was very attentive, the food arrived in a timely manner and the atmosphere kicked up as groups of people arrived - espresso martinis were their drink of choice!!! We would all go back to B&B another time - good food, great service and an okay wine list. Just what we wanted on a chilly, windy night.

We were visiting Newport for a "girls weekend" and all 3 of us started out with the Hibiscus Martini, and shared several small plates: wedge salad, brussel sprouts, meatballs, ricotta toast and one of the specials (crab cake). Our service was outstanding and everything was delicious and well prepared. We topped off the night with two of the yummy desserts (skillet special and chocolate mousse pie). We will definitely be back! The vibe was great and location right in the heart of the action.

It was us, 55 years old and two twenty year old girls. Two tables and unfortunately we lost! We still tipped well, but it’s kind of disheartening watching your server chase tail and ignore you. Food was nice.
