Black Pearl, Newport, R.I.

While on tour of historic Newport with our friends, we sat down for seafood dinner at the famous Black Pearl. We were denied access to Commodore Room, which doesn't let jeans wearing public in, but the common room was decent. Which I cannot say about the clam chowder - salty, thick and not well pronounced.

Half-a-star for the decorum and friendly service.
