Cobbs Mill Inn

I had no idea Cobbs Mill Inn existed until last night when Ryan and I went there for dinner. The sad thing is, I have lived down the street from Cobbs Mill Inn for many years--it's less than five minutes away. 

Cobbs Mill Inn sits right by a river and a waterfall--it's hard to see the whole splendor at night, but the lights illuminate the inn in the dark.  The interior reminded us a little bit of the White Horse Tavern in Newport, but the ambiance of the water gives the Cobbs Mill Inn a more romantic feel. 

If this isn't romantic, I don't know what is...

Ryan and I ordered mussels as an appetizer, then Ryan ordered duck and I ordered butternut squash in a maple flavored sauce.

The mussels

Had I known about Cobbs Mill Inn when I was in high school, I definitely would have gone here for my graduation dinner...

NPT: Newport Restaurant Week

It's that time of year again--Newport Restaurant Week!

This year, Newport Restaurant Week ran from April 5-April 14. I was happy to catch the very last day with my best friend and have dinner at The White Horse Tavern, the oldest tavern in the United States. We had the most amazing meal...

But before ending the day with dinner, we spent the day in Newport walking up and down Thames Street and relaxing at Brenton Point.


Appetizer: Lobster and Crab Bisque
Entree: Pan Fried Rhode Island Skate Wing served with Crispy Risotto Cake and Lemon Caper Butter Sauce
Dessert: Butterscotch Bread Pudding





Yes. This is exactly what it looks like--a family feeding seagulls...
