I had the greatest service. The bartender Mack was very attentive of her customers, and servers Grace, Amanda, and Dylan always checked in on their tables. Highly recommend this location for a night out.

Baba is not just the best sushi in Bristol RI, it's also the best sushi in the Newport/Bristol area. The prices aren't even that bad considering the quality of fish you get. The service never disappoints -- you get your takeout when they say it'll be ready -- and the in-house service is very good as well. I've had a surprise birthday party there and it was a wonderful memory. I look forward to dining on their back patio overlooking the water with my family this summer.

My sister and I love sushi and are always looking for new places to try. Well today we found a gem! We started with the spicy seafood salad. Perfect blend of spices not to hot but a nice bite and an awesome portion! We also had the tiger eye roll,another great choice and one we will be having again! Up next was sashimi tartar, another awesome dish and great portion. To drink we had the sake sangria! We are already looking forward to returning as this is our new go to sushi place! Also want to give a shout out to our server Makenzie, she was excellent!

A good friend recommended this place. I have to say the miso soup was some of the best I have ever had. I tried a smattering of rolls, hand rolls, and some nigiri. Octopus nigiri was spot on. Rice roll was a bit plumper than I'm used to, but that seems to be a theme. I tried a shrimp tempura hand roll. It was very good. Visually it was huge, I discovered this particular hand roll for them is wide at the top and doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the nori cone. Beautiful and flavorful. The spicy yellow tail was very nice. Again presentation was a ten. They had a heavy hand on the wet mix, but it had solid flavor and still let the fish shine through. Avocado tuna roll was probably the best one I have ever tasted, and that says something because I eat a fair amount of sushi. The tuna was a bit blockier and shorter than I expected in my hand roll. Again a solid roll, just not portioned the way I expected it, but a pattern of better than average portions is emerging.... Tried a special called the firecracker roll. Basically a shrimp tempura makimono style with an amazing seemingly beefed up siracha sauce. I considered asking for more on the side, but really had nothing to put it on. Then I had a yellowtail jalapeno roll, I think called the Celtic, it was tasty, and visually very nice. On a whim I asked if they had green tea ice cream, they didn't, but the ginger ice cream was great. It had a custard like consistency, and was literally sundae size, and had whipped cream and chocolate sauce. To be fair I didn't look it up on the menu and just requested it adhoc, but never expected it to be served like a huge, and I do mean huge sundae. The serving vessel was kind of cool looked like an over sized ladel gracefully made of white china, and as a bonus was clearly chilled. I did have water, but saw some awesome looking drinks being slinged out from the bar. I didn't look at the drink menu, but suspect I missed out a bit. My only complaint was the service, they were rocking, it was just after dinner, and they had most every table on both floors and decks filled except for two in the upper dining area. I was a single diner (at a two top) and I wasn't drinking from the bar, BUT... I really did feel left out in the cold. I waffled on my tip amount and still went generously, because I am hoping it was a fluke. I will try it again, I might bring my spouse, but I would be sure to set a fair expectation that it could be amazing or it could be amazing and have just ok service. For the pricing I kind of felt it should be amazing with amazing service, but again the food was amazing, delightfully different then I expected, but amazing. My only other pet peeve was the drink menu and specials were handed to me and a little table tent of plastic with a qr code was handed to me for the rest of the menu. I know it's on trend these days, but honestly I wanted to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and not have my darn phone (digital leash) in my hand. I would have preferred a menu be offered. The bowl for soy sauce was adorable. I have never seen one this shape before and although I usually don't use the bowl I tried it just to see how I liked it for my octopus nigiri.

I was in Bristol, RI, visiting a friend, and she invited me to this amazing place. My friend has amazing taste, so I knew she was taking me to an amazing spot. Every single plate we ordered was so tasty!!! The 7 sangria was great! The dessert that they had from a local bakery was so smooth and delicious. The view was heavenly since it was sunset. Our waitress was so attentive, sweet, and professional. I can't wait to return.
