Being from Massachusetts, we have made multiple trips to Newport and this place was on our list to try. We scheduled a reservation a week in advance to have a meal for our anniversary getaway. After arriving at the restaurant we were behind a couple who asked to sit outside and were seated immediately. When we approached the hostess stand a gentleman (which I would assume was manager as flanked by two hostesses) looked bothered to begin with, I gave him the reservation and also asked to be seated outside. He quickly retorted with an attitude and stated that "It would be AT LEAST an hour and a half to 2 hours" (had we not had a reservation I would have expected that or beyond but we had scheduled a reservation and there is no option to select that). His tone was extremely rude and unprofessional and with that being said we will NEVER try this restaurant. We walked by around 15 minutes later and there were still at least 3 open tables outside. We left knowing that during these times with COVID, reservations are needed everywhere and that we would struggle to find a place. Luckily the Landing was able to accommodate us on short notice and I will say was much better than expected (and we saved ourselves the +$200 bill)
