Rhode Island is best known for its small size, but that doesn't mean we lack beauty. When it comes to beautiful surroundings, we've got just as much to offer as the larger 49 states. One restaurant in Rhode Island that showcases the state's beauty better than most is the lovely The Mooring Seafood Kitchen and Bar in Newport. This spot offers incredible views of Narragansett Bay, whether you're eating in the luxurious dining room or the outdoor patio. Delicious seafood and incredible views: what more could you ask for?
This spot is right in the middle of Newport's beautiful downtown waterfront area.
The Mooring has been delighting Rhode Islanders for over 35 years. It's easy to see why this is such a popular spot with both tourists and locals.
There are a variety of seating options, with an indoor dining area, an outdoor patio, a sunroom, bar, and fireplace area.
As you'd expect, the seafood is as fresh as can be. There's a surprising array of options here that change seasonally depending on availability.
They even have gluten-free and vegetarian options, a nice touch for a restaurant that primarily serves seafood.
The views from the partially-enclosed patio are magnificent. Looking out over the bay is absolutely mesmerizing and really adds a touch of class to your meal.
The raw bar platter is a great way to try several different things from the menu in one dish. You'll get oysters, clam, shrimp, and lobster claw served over ice.
With deliciously fresh seafood and views like this, you really can't go wrong with a visit to this tasty place.
