This place used to be one of our favorite places to go but over the last couple years it has gone completely downhill. The food got more expensive with portions so slight it’s shocking. I always get the ahi salad - these days they put a few pieces of the most thinly sliced ahi I have ever seen on greens and charge you $23.To make it worse, we were there for over 2 hours and our server came to our table 4 times. The time in between each visit lasting over 20 minutes, I kid you not. In fact, the only time she came back to the table in a reasonable amount of time was to collect our signed check, one of the biggest no-nos of waitressing! The restaurant wasn’t even busy - at its peak it was at about 15% capacity (or about 5 tables). She would also go to the back and eat food off of trays that the cooks were making, laughing and talking to the staff instead of caring to her tables. One of the worst servers and service I have ever experienced.It’s so unfortunate because we have been coming here for many years but it just is not the same.

I hadn’t been to Summer House since 2021 and was looking forward to meet with family for lunch on a Saturday and boy was I disappointed! I had called on Wednesday and made a reservation given we were a large group and when we showed up, they didn’t have our reservation down but regardless we were sat fairly quickly. Service was super slow as they seem to have 3 front personnel to take care of the whole restaurant and the bar which is understandable but if the place is semi full, be prepared to wait. Given it was Saturday brunch time, they should have another server. We ordered our food and unfortunately it didn’t seem that our server was having a good day as she was restless and not very friendly. We the had to wait a good 40 minutes for our food to arrive and during that time neither our water was refilled nor our coffee. I ordered the carnitas burrito which was very bland and didn’t have any salt and the little salsa that came with it was not spice at all. I had to wait another few minutes to flag another server to get be some hot sauce. My wife ordered the veggie omelette and it was so tiny and the potatoes very so little and bland. The prices are very reasonable and for the location, they can easily add a couple of bucks to the dishes and make the food a bit more plentiful. Not sure of if I come back again which is a pitty as we have been at summer time multiple times in the last 15 years living in Newport.

The food and atmosphere were great! However, our waiter paid little attention to us and didn't even bring place servings outside.

This delightful restaurant serves a wonderful brunch. My favorite item was the freshly squeezed orange juice. The restaurant was bustling on this Sunday morning, but the staff and the food were wonderful.

This is a favorite place for my daughter. We have been here a number of times and always good. This time I had the Lost Wallet drink. $15. I liked it a lot and so did my wife. Very little peanut butter flavor. Very smooth and pleasant. The Bloody Mary $10 did not go over well. Too spicy and “not enjoyable” flavor. Your mileage may vary. $10 The Berries and Bubbles was very refreshing. $15. I had the Ginger crusted ono with jasmine rice. I get this every other time we come here. Very good as always. $27. Not strong ginger but right on. My wife had the fish tacos. Mahi Mahi. Very good. Service by Stephany O was very good.

brie burger was very good. loved the skinny fries!
You won't find nicer restaurant staff at any other restaurant in the area.The food here was perfectly portioned and very tasty. My daughter had the island fire chicken and loved it. My wife had the chicken sandwich and gobbled it up, so I assume she enjoyed it. I started a plant-based diet so I requested the Summer House Salad without chicken or feta cheese, adding on cilantro; it was perfect!The restaurant is small with limited parking, but we arrived when it wasn't too crowded (7pm on a Monday evening), and managed to score a spot on a neighborhood street.You won't be disappointed with Summer House, we sure weren't.

Saw good reviews so gave it a try. Server and attendant were kind and friendly. Enjoyed the outside tables. Was surprised how dry the swordfish was in my tacos and I asked them to hold the sauce for the sweet potatoes but they served it anyways.

Small dinner with bar & menu reminiscent of Hawaii. We had fries, chicken & rice, pork taco, and two cocktails. Services was quick and everything taste great. Very reasonable prices. Bathrooms are public washrooms out the back of the building.
