Just make sure to call ahead to ask to be seated in the main restaurant if that’s what you want. They put us in the back but did accommodate us when we asked to be moved

Our food was delicious! We went there partially to get the cauliflower app but it was no longer on the menu - we hope you’ll bring it back. My daughter is a vegetarian and sadly there seem to be fewer option on the menu than other Newport Rest group restaurants. Loved the brownie dessert, wow! Our server, Morgan?, was excellent and said she’d work with us on the vegetarian choices like asking the chef to make a pasta prima vera. She opted for a salad. If anything, I’d note my side salad seemed like it was freshly made and was a little cold and wilted. My daughter’s salad (both field greens with brussel sprouts) appeared to be the same. Are they made ahead of time and refrigerated, I wonder??

As always, the Coast Guard House lived up to its excellent reputation for outstanding food, service, and friendliness. The menu options and wine choices are also excellent. Very highly recommended. It also happens to be a very historic building that was repurposed very appropriately into the excellent restaurant that it is and continues to be.
