Wetlands — Restaurant in Newport

We stopped in for breakfast prior to our sxs ride and it was fantastic. A+! We decided to go back for dinner and it was a horrible experience. We were seated and a few minutes later another group was seated. They were tended to long before we were. At least 15 minutes passed before we were even asked about drinks.
