    We had a lovely experience at Hemenway's. The food was excellent and the ambience (especially the view of the river) was wonderful. The service was attentive and pleasant. We were very pleased and look forward to returning.

    The baked oysters and the paella were the standouts of the evening, but all of the food was delicious. Our night was made perfect by Bob, who provided flawless service. He made excellent recommendations and was very knowledgeable of the menu. He was always there when we needed him, and made us feel so welcomed! An amazing meal. Thank you!

    Disappointing experience. We have been going here for years. The calamari is a staple appetizer, but for some reason it was covered in a lemon aioli goo, which ruined it in my opinion. After a few bites we sent it back. My steak was tasteless, lobster tail was barely lukewarm. Service and ambiance are impeccable, as always. I know Newport Restaurant Group and have dined at many of their places, but this was the worst we have had at Hemenways.

    Hemenway’s does it right, period. From the moment you walk in, until you leave everything is as it should be in a dining experience.
