   Everything was great but the steamers have a new broth which is not as good as the original.

   We love The Cannery, mostly for the patio ambiance and great professional service from valet, to host/hostess, to wait staff. We visited at Easter and enjoyed the Prix Fixe menu. Top notch. Today, though, the Mother’s Day Prix Fixe menu was almost identical, but slight variation in ambiance—no bud base flowers on table, maybe smaller portions?, waitress brought wrong dessert, and provided hot coffee instead of iced. Small details but noticeable difference from Easter despite it being much less crowded on Mothers Day. Still enjoyed ourselves, but not consistent with usually amazing, great experience. We will continue to go, hope Mother’s Day inconsistency was just a fluke (seafood pun).

   Went for Mother’s Day. Didn’t tell us it was a set menu. Didn’t post on website. Got there and it was $70 a pop. Apps and dessert were substandard.

   Was the best experience I have had in a long while. Food was amazing and service was excellence. I had my wife’s birthday dinner here with some friends. The table was perfect. Everything was wonderful. I will definitely come back. What a beautiful evening it was. Thank you Cannery for an amazing night!

   As usual the place was hopping lots of energy! Lots of beautiful women! Lots of NICE boats, service was great, cocktails and wine was good. Unfortunately the food sucked! My Black cod was mushy and flavorless. My wife’s calamari was over breaded, over cooked and salty My daughters sea bass she said was wonderful

   Sword Fish is the best EVER! Cory is an amazing server. The best waterfront restaurant in Newport.

   Great location, right on the water. Wonderful server, who was attentive but didn’t rush us at all. Food was excellent, especially lobster roll and crab cake.

    Good food as always even with the fixed menu. Service a tad slower than usual but took care of all requests from our party, no matter how absurd.
