   Food was great as was the service. However, there was a limited selection of wine options and no cocktail menu. In addition, it would be nice to have complimentary bread or crackers at the start of our dining experience.

   Food was incredible. Service was meh. My wine glass came over with wine all over the bottom so I had to clean it myself. Then our waiter did not come back over to get us more drinks until we flagged down another waiter. He was nowhere to be found the majority of our meal

   We won’t go Back We’ve been coming here through all its iterations, starting with Scarletta, then Sail Fish, and now 1639. I was looking forward to this newest version because the location is great. But the place had low energy, foreign service that was unfamiliar with the menu, blah food, no wine menu, and overall mediocre experience. We won’t go back. Their prices are on the extreme upper level, but unwarranted as the food was barely okay. I don’t recommend.

   Very pretty restaurant and hotel all refurbished but food was horrible. Really disappointed as service was equally terrible. Manager came over to help and the he disappeared also. They should be able to retain plenty of summer help given the location. Recommend they bring in exchange students like other places.

   Food was decent, but pricey. Ambiance was nice, but we had a great table. The rest of the restaurant was just okay Beautiful string lights outside but they weren't lit...would have been so nice if they were. Service was not good! Pleasant server but painfully slow. Only came around once for drink refills. Got our food after a long wait and didn't see the waiter again. Would not necessarily go back

   We are Newport residents since NOV 2022. We tried dining here 2 yrs ago, & we’re not pleased with the menu or service at the time. Now since the hotel/restaurant is under new management, we wanted to try it again. Our waiter was fantastic….but the $72 medallion size filet with a tiny onion was totally unacceptable!!! And the whole menu needs improvement to include more choices. Scallops, shrimp, pork, & a better house salad. We were quite surprised that the renovation and the great location on Goat Island did not improve overall. Thank you & hoping improvements will happen in the near future. We love the location & ambience.

   The food was bland, too small of portion, and when asked to heat up the host came back and said they wouldn’t. The waiters never checked in with us, service was extremely slow, and we had to plead for water.

    Our meal was delicious and our server was very friendly. The manager offered us select bottles of wine . It was overall a wonderful experience.
