Hooked - Newport

Hooked is amazing. Chef is from the now defunked Shells and Scales which has new owners. Muscles were large and juicy. Husband had the scrod he said was amazing. I had the seafood fra diablo it was amazing. I had it for one person it could have fed three people. It was so good. Service was friendly and on point . Plan on going back next year in Newport. Good luck with the new place you will be successful.

We have been long time customers of Scales and Shells restaurant (every visit to Newport). When we heard that the staff moved to Hooked, we tried it on our next visit. We were happy we did....same excellent seafood, same friendly staff, really nice casual atmosphere. Will be back next visit to Newport.

Junior from the old Scales and Shells took the beloved old menu and brought it here when the new owners of Scales did the unthinkable and ended the old menu….and it’s perfect! Please go to Hooked it’s FANTASTIC. It is exactly the proper and original Scales menu with a few welcome additions. And no subtractions. Thank you Junior !!!!

Had a great meal. The staff was formerly at another restaurant down the road and we headed there to check it out and support them. GREAT food. GREAT atmosphere. AMAZING staff. Food and service were really exceptional. Will return and highly recommend.

We stopped in last weekend and absolutely loved it. The oysters were fantastic, service was wonderful (loved seeing a lot of the same staff move here from Scales). We can’t wait to go back!

Excellent food; wonderful and friendly staff; cool atmosphere. Can't go wrong here. Try the seafood nachos and oysters for sure!

Love, love, love!!! It’s the updated Scales & Shells. The meal was amazing, the staff was perfection, and the location is perfect!!!

Incredible meal start to finish. Mussels and shrimp marsala were the best I have ever had.

Best shrimp fra diavolo on the island. Pair with an espresso tini, delish

Great folks very helpful to party of 8 older folks. Very accommodating. Food always top notch.

Very nice atmosphere for dinner. Attentive staff. Food was good and prepared with care.

Me and my wife visited the area for vacation. I had wanted to make sure I was able to enjoy fish and chips. We tried two other places over a couple days and finally decided to give this place a try. All I can say is AMAZING!!!. This place embodies what Rhode Island is all about. From the swift friendly service to absolutely great food. This restaurant was packed and we walked in and still got a table in 60 seconds. I saw not one waitress or staff member walking slowly. They must have angels cooking in the kitchen because the food was excellent and was ready very quickly. Everyone was hustling and serving the customers. I consider myself a pessimist and never really leave any reviews but this establishment was different and checked all my boxes. If you come to this area THIS is the place to go.

Didn't like the Monk fish at all but I think its just personal preference bc everything else was spectacular...and maybe it was just because I had the bread first. Omg, the bread! We had a large party for a celebration and the staff was accommodating and professional. The cocktails were some of the best I've had. Thanks for making our dinner special and enjoyable.

My family and I had a good dinner at this establishment while in Newport. The wait staff was excellent. We had the halibut special, shrimp linguini and fish and chips. The grilled zucchini lacked any seasoning but overall the meal was solid and I would return.

Great friendly service and nice place. Delicious bread. However our taste buds did not love the seafood dishes with spicy marinara. It was missing wine or something... The portions were good but the octopus was overpriced. 1 leg for $25 as an appetizer. If they fix their marinara sauce this place will be a 10! No kids menu. However I think everyone should at least give them a visit and check it out themselves.

Our server was very nice and we sat outside. The calamari and fried oysters were delicious. Entrees were ok, the linguini with clam sauce was very garlicky. The fries with the lobster roll were cold, the server replaced them quickly. I ordered broiled scallops, there was no description on the menu that it came with a bread crumb topping. They tasted good but I wouldn't have wanted the bread. I got the pineapple salsa which had raisins in it, kind of odd. All in all the food was fine, probably a little expensive for what it was but it's Newport. I'd like to see a few more items on the menu.

The lobster roll was watery and the service slow. The fries were very good, though. The views were wonderful !

Service was fantastic. Food was mediocre.

We’ve eaten here before and it was much better, but unfortunately last night’s meal was entirely mediocre. Our swordfish was overcooked, and when that happens to swordfish it becomes dry and like cardboard and it’s an expensive fish. The asparagus was overcooked and mushy. It was also all obvious and shouldn’t have come out to the table. And one of our spicy margaritas was basically tasteless. Altogether disappointing.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and our waitress was nice. Appetizers were great but entrees were terrible. A piece of toro tuna absolutely charred and my scallops had no caramelization served over gummy pasta. Pretty much inedible at an almost $40 price tag! Eating out is too expensive to waste on a meal like this

Wanted it to be better. Staff lovely. Food not so much - ordinary at best. Soggy calamari fritti. Fries out of a poly bag. Good wine list. You can do better.

Forgot about us . 45 minutes to see waitress second time hour to get mediocre entrees. Plenty of other places to go in Newport. Won't be back

Shrimp linguine was $30 on the menu, I was charged $35 and when I asked to double check the waiter said no $35 is correct. Quality wasn’t great either.
