Wed Jan 08 14:05:37 -0800 2003 0 MC Slim JB 1 853806 it's been a week since your request and no one has answered. Looks like the word "salvation" scared them all away...

It turns out it is one of their favorite places, so I picked a winner based on my own research. I'll follow up with a report.

I didn't see this soon enough or I would have posted about it being one of my favorites in little Rhody, and one of the tops for New England in general. The tiki bar out back has great drinks and the fresh fresh fish with creative sides are delicious. I am not surprised to hear it's some local's favorite too, since the scene is fun without being uptight, a pleasure in Newport. Fri Jan 17 23:48:08 -0800 2003 853740 0 yumyum
