Lobster at Benjamin's

There's nothing to say, except that this dinner at Benjamin's was as delicious as it looks. 

Our waitress accidentally misheard when we ordered a "half a dozen" oysters and we got a dozen...

I wasn't mad about it.

Benjamin's is an underestimated local spot in downtown Newport—if you're looking for a casual atmosphere with good, comfort seafood, this is the place to go.

Newport Restaurant Week 2015 at Benjamin's

Benjamin's Raw Bar handles their lunch menu for Newport Restaurant Week differently than the other restaurants--instead of offering a three-course lunch, Benjamin's offers one amazing entree for $16. 

Take a look at this beautiful lobster grilled cheese:

Fresh cracked lobster meat sauteed in butter. Paired with a rustic panini bread, danish havarti cheese and sliced lucky beef steak tomatoes. Grilled until golden brown and finished in the oven. 

Served with cole slaw and fries.
