I had the seafood of the day (sword fish) outstanding. My wife had the sirloin and fries (outstanding). Service and all were outstanding. Go there for any special occasion. We were fortunate to find parking behind the restaurant. Make sure you have reservations in advance (e.g. through OpenTable.)

We had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch. Our server was great, the food was delicious, and the ambience was on point. We enjoyed seeing the staff in the spirit despite working. They seemed to genuinely appreciate their team.

This was the cutest cottage and tea experience. We came in to Newport for a holiday trip and came across Sweet Marie’s as a fun idea. We lucked out in getting reservations. Hope we can visit again and experience at the new location!
