Description

If the old adage holds that the success of a restaurant is based on three things-location, location, location-Newport's should have gone out of business years ago. It's not quite the West End and not quite Victory Park, yet Newport's has long been a seafood staple for power-lunching downtowners (though it's not quite downtown). The mesquite-grilled fish dishes rule (and permeate the restaurant's ozone), but we lunched on almond-crusted Atlantic sole (good), spicy chipotle-peppered yellowfin tuna (better) and the ahi tuna sashimi (best-we could have used more, but what do you expect from an appetizer).
