With a fresh take on American cuisine using the finest ingredients, Jo's serves classy food in a casual setting. We prepare delectable seafood, numerous gluten-free options, and natural meats raised without hormones or antibiotics wherever possible. Prix
A group of four friends visited Joâs for a midweek casual dinner. It was a very good experience. They were offering three course off-season midweek Specials Menu selections for a very reasonable price and we all indulged. Each of us was very pleased with our meal. Drinks were large, wine offered with the Special menu was very good, not swill. Desserts were part of the deal and also above average.Service was professional and fun, the place was crowded by the time we left. Jo has clearly drawn an enthusiastic following to her restaurant, and was at the door all evening greeting regulars.We will be back.

We went here for a celebratory dinner on a Saturday evening in October. After reading other reviews I realized that perhaps when we went made a difference in our experience. We didnât go during the height of summer when my guess it would be MUCH busier and louder. We had a reservation and were seated at a wonderful window seat overlooking the harbor and also sunset. We very much enjoyed the mussels we had as an appetizer and then also had tuna and lobster with pasta. All servings were more than adequate and were very tasty! Our dining experience lasted 2 hours, which we were fine with and the service was attentive as well. Small menu, but what they do, they do well.

We just had a very disappointing meal: dry over-cooked fish and fried calamari, and the lobster in the pasta scampi was inedible. We learned from an adjacent table that their prior chef, John, left just a few weeks ago. Apparently the quality has dropped dramatically since he left!

Dined here after a couple of years absence on a friend's recommendation. Hubs had Shrimp Alfredo (lots of shrimp), and I opted for the Half & Half Seafood plate - fried clams & bay scallops. Both were good, although there were more fries than seafood in mine for $24. Service was efficient.

We were leaving the hustle and bustle of Newport and stopped here for dinner on a whim. WOW, the food was sooooo good.... the service was great and we were very happy. On our way out the wait was very long apparently it's a big local spot. Definitely come by for a great meal. For an appetizer 3 main courses and 3 desserts plus soft drinks was sound $130. I would say relatively typical for the area. YUM!!!

Lunch was anything but peaceful. If you want to sit on the edge of a lovely vineyard and listen to piped-in music while you wait 50 minutes for a sandwich, try this place. I don't, and I won't return. I have never written a scathing review before, but this place was offensive.

If you go for breakfast, trust me and get the blueberry pancakes. Pancake batter with tons of blueberries grilled right in, not some syrupy berries just dumped on top. Fabulous. My once a year indulgence when we are in Little Compton. AND! Everything is great. You can't go wrong here.

The Barn restaurant is located at the sole intersection in the seaside village of Adamsville, R.I., The site of Gray's, the nation's barely-still breathing, purportedly the nation's first general store, and the birthplace of the Rhode Island Red Hen, the forebear of brown American eggs. Until 32 years ago, when The Barn opened for dining, it was indeed a barn, with the cedar shingle walls and foot-wide knotty-pine floorboards that remain. A peculiarity was an absence of towels, paper or other, in the otherwise suitable bathroom. We found the alternative with a curtain hanging from a closet rod. Remarkably, the Barn thrives serving one meal, breakfast, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., every day, all year. (At 2, it's still breakfast, not brunch) On summer weekends, particularly, the waits for a table can be offensively long--more than half an hour. Inside, with no air conditioning, the place sweats. On this July's 90-degree days, customers could wait for the shaded tables on a patio outside. The menu is novel and most of it tempting. They don't do the usual scrambled-eggs-bacon-and hash browns. They specialize in strictly in poached. The most popular dishes are variations on eggs benedict, like the $12.99 Eggs on the Bayou--two softly poached eggs atop a layer of crab on an English muffin with a scoop of Hollandaise sauce. Eggs Sakonnet, for $15.98, is much the same though with lobster and asparagus under the yolks. The Barn also offers omelets, pancakes, waffles, French toast (with cranberry pecan bread) and Johnny cakes, the indigenous Rhode Island take on French wafer-thin crepes. They're flat and grainy, and sublime soaked with real maple syrup. With such emphasis on alternatives to of eggs benedict (with they also serve), we couldn't decide whether to call the menu inspired or contrived. Either way, it's brilliant. Our check came to $27.50. We'll be back.

Locally-sourced ingredients + farm-focused menu. Savor artisanal cheese, hand crafted dishes, paired with our 100% estate grown wines. Cozy up by the fireplace, enjoy wine flights at our bar or take in the vineyard views from our Overlook area.
I was hesitant on going here only because of a perception I had that was wrong. You know, Newport Area, Wine, and a classy looking outside made me think this was a bunch of folks who talk about their net worth's with lower jaws extended in a tux or fancy party dress (and would be better than making a run on sentence). I was wrong with my perception. I was also wrong that a winemaker would make a good beer. They make great beer, in fact one of the better thus far in the state.Appearance was great, Food was great, service was fantastic, beer was superb. I also felt fine to be there in a hoodie and jeans.Hello! Thank you for your visit, and for sharing feedback with us. We aim to offer comfortable, enjoyable experiences for all our guests, so the team is so glad to know we provided such! Your kind regards for our Taproot beer will be passed along to our brewer Kevin! Thank you again for sharing with us, we hope to see you back in sometime. Until then, cheers!
