Georgie's Beachside Grill - Newport

The ocean view is always stunning. The service is top-notch, and the food is fantastic. We ordered the prime rib, cod fish and chips, and seafood pasta diablo, all of which were delicious. Our meals arrived quickly, and we were in and out within an hour. I highly recommend making a reservation, as this place tends to get busy.

This was our third visit to Georgie's and was hoping for as satisfying evening as the first two visits. We drove 150 miles to specifically go there for a milestone birthday. We requested the exceptional server we had on our 1st two visits, Pearl, but unfortunately, were not seated in her area. Nothing was mentioned by the obviously unhappy hostess about the request when we were lead to our table, so we assumed it was not a problem. We soon realized it was but having both worked in fine dining, we did not want to make a fuss. The wedge salad at Georgie's is a special treat so we enjoyed that with some steamers for appetizers. However, the main course prime rib we both ordered was both cool and chewy. (Wish I would have again ordered the amazing seafood pasta I had on a previous visit! Overall, we were disappointed and will not make a special trip (with the overnight hotel expense just to go but if in the area, would probably give it another chance. The ambiance and view are very enjoyable.

Overall, everything was great except for the waitstaff. I can't recall the last time I dined somewhere where no one came by to check if we needed more water, drinks, or if we were satisfied with our food. While they were friendly, they gave off the impression that they didn't want to be bothered.

Really sad how the food quality was at the most recent visit. The Seafood pasta had microscopic shrimp and scallops- in the past the dish was delicious. The halibut fish n chips were 50% undercooked soggy batter : Used to be a favorite spot.... Bummer

Waited 10 minutes on a reservation, waited 15 minutes for our waiter to take our order, waited 10 minutes for the margarita to come, so that 35 minutes for a drink. Service was awful, food was just ok.
