The Grill At Forty 1 North - Newport

Service was horrible. Our server Rob was more concerned about his appearance than servicing his tables. The surf and turf burger had absolutely no flavor and the drinks were nothing special either

Stopped by here for a quick drink during the day, and was pleasantly surprised by the views. We sat at the outside bar, and I loved how open and airy the deck felt. Very sunny day, rays shining off the ocean water, and yachts in every direction; the shade and the breeze were just the thing we needed for a break from the summer heat. I ordered a glass of wine, and was pleasantly surprised by the hefty pour. I did not try any of the food, so no comment on that, but looked like there was a wide variety available on the menu. I would return for drinks another day!!

Massive gap between what it wants to be and what it actually is. The location is really nice. Beautiful deck amongst the docks. But the experience is not so great. First, it is $20 to park so that you can spend an ungodly amount of money there. The menu looks good, but is expensive. Mains come with no sides. Expensive steaks require $6 sauces if you want them. I got a filet mignon, medium rare. I got a rare hunk of meat on a white plate in perhaps the least appetizing presentation I have ever seen. The quality of the meet was choice, not prime, and it had clearly been frozen. The wait staff is nice, but not well-trained. My friend's tuna was flavorless. The French fries were good. Wedge salad was a generous portion, with burnt bacon on a plat so narrow it was hard to get at it with a knife and fork. Make sure to put in your entire order up front, because the first time you see your waiter will be the last time, and the water guys can't help you. In sum, nice location, decent cocktails, terrible service, poor food, at a high price., If you must go there, just go for a drink. But please, eat somewhere else.

The seafood was not fresh. To compensate, they overcooked it. We won't go back. You can get much better food at any chain restaurant. Prices were literally double what was expected, even with the view. Avoid.

This used to be the best restaurant in Newport, we have been coming for 6 years. It was our go to place, for the view, the service and the awesome food. It has gone down hill, awful food and terrible service. The place was empty on Father's Day for a reason, before you could not get a table. If they don't pivot quickly, it will be closed or only get customers staying at the hotel.
