“Cru Café is an excellent spot in Newport. Even when it’s busy, the line moves quickly and service is friendly and efficient. The staff is cheerful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. A great place worth visiting!“

“This was our first time here and we had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding. The service was outstanding. Our waitress was Chelsea, who is very nice with a great sense of humor and was very engaging..... It was our anniversary and they gave us a semi private room all to ourselves, which was really really nice.... I highly recommend this place.“

“If you’re coming to visit Newport and haven’t heard of Jo’s, it’s because it’s a hidden gem! Amazing local farm-to-table options that keep us and those who visit us asking to go back to that one place in Newport, I really loved! The service to guests with one or more allergies was superb! The chef personally came to our table on each visit to discuss what meals were safe to order. I have multiple allergies, so sometimes they would have made me my own off-the-menu special dish. I’ve never gotten sick once, and everyone who goes there with us when they visit always asks to go back on their next trip! ♥️“

“Steph and the team at scratch were SUPERB! Our catering order was perfect (tho we were sad the croissant machine was down) every thing was piping hot (or nice an cool). Everything was SOOO good. Ordering was easy, Steph ensured we had a great variety and enough to feed the post-wedding crowd. We did have breakfast here and it was stellar! Any event you need catered, be sure to check Steph and the team out. You will, NOT be disappointed!“

“Stephanie was an exceptional bartender—easily one of the best servers we've ever had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made a huge difference for us. Her attention to detail was impressive, from promptly changing out silverware between courses to keeping our drinks filled without us ever needing to ask. The food was outstanding! The carpaccio was the best we’ve had, and the gluten-free s’mores dessert was absolutely delicious—a perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere had a great vibe with stunning views, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Just had breakfast here yesterday for Mother's Day with my daughter's! Food is delicious, everything was so fresh. Friendly staff and such a comfy cozy atmosphere. We felt right at home and will definitely be back! Thank you for great, friendly service.“

“Such amazing flavors was a taste bud explosion! Definitely an under rated restaurant in Newport!“

“Great but! I don’t buy things like this usually but it’s easy to use at all of our favorite spots around town and is basically free after the first use. Highly recommend!“

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“Always a good time! Great staff,food & atmosphere ❤️. My go to“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“I decided to treat myself and come on a little solo vacation. This is such an accommodating warm spot. Evan and the whole staff treated me with such kindness as I was dining by myself in the busy summer season the mussels were amazing ! The lobster bisque is not to be missed and the local Winery three thieves was delicious. I recommend this place highly !“

“Gorgeous hotel and beyond amazing staff and service .. just a wonderful time there“

“Came here for Mother’s Day and our table came complete with a picture of my family in a frame. What a nice touch! The food was delicious and our waitress was perfect. She knew exactly what we were going to need having two kids under 4 with us. This is my favorite place in Newport and they hit the mark yet again.“

“Delicious food, great service and I highly recommend.“

“We’ve had a couple meals at the Helmway and they were delicious! The calamari is crispy and done just right, the harvest salad is excellent! The scallops were done to perfection…sweet and tender. The lobster risotto is excellent too! We had the cinnamon toast bread pudding…just wow!! The wine selection is just right! We’ll definitely go back and highly recommend the Helmway!! I couldn’t find a place to give it stars, but I would definitely give it 5 out of 5!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We came in Sunday evening for a small dinner and dessert and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and filled our drinks quickly. It was pretty empty when we got there but packed when we left. The food was AMAZING. We shared the short rib special and it was so good! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and bread pudding which were also sooooo good! The restaurant itself was beautiful. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely dine here again!“

“As visitors from New York, where late-night dining is the norm, we often find it challenging to find quality food options after 9 p.m. when traveling. Gas Lamp Grille truly stands out in this regard, making it easy to enjoy a great meal even later in the evening. We’ve visited multiple times and consistently have a great experience. Seating is always quick, and the service is prompt, friendly, and attentive. The lobster rolls—both chilled and hot—are excellent every time. We also appreciate the option to choose between traditional fries, sweet potato fries, or a salad, allowing for a bit of flexibility while still enjoying a favorite dish. Whether the restaurant is busy during a UConn game or more relaxed on a quieter evening, the staff remains efficient and welcoming. It has become one of our go-to spots whenever we’re in Newport.“

“Food is consistently amazing. I love the family atmosphere and the menu variety is excellent for a local business in this area.“

“Spectacular dining experience between the service, Sarah and Olivia were phenomenal! The food, the scratch made fettuccine was perfectly cooked and coated with the hearty bolognese full of flavor, the eggplant app was mouthwatering and the Gorgonzola dip w/ garlic bread was incredible- they should bottle the stuff! The atmosphere was inviting and full of locals who were eager to share their recommendations! 10/10 will be back!“

“Love Becky and her colleague“

“I had a small party catered from here and they did exceptional work! The presentation was better than expected, the server was amazing and the food was delicious!“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“Bittersweet Farms was the perfect setting for our wedding. The venue is beautiful and full of charm. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the right place. The grounds are stunning, the layout is thoughtful, and it has that cozy, timeless feel we were looking for. What truly made the experience exceptional was Abby, our coordinator. She was incredible from start to finish. She was detail-oriented, and so easy to work with. Abby made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day and handled all the little things before we even had a chance to notice them. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we could relax and enjoy the moment. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, and we’re still so grateful for how stress-free the day felt thanks to Abbey and the Bittersweet team. Highly recommend.“

“This evening we went to cask and pig for the first time ever as a belated birthday/valentine dinner we had a brand new server Marina and she was amazing to the point we thought she was training our waiter when she told us I’m training this evening she was amazing and I believe is truly an asset to this establishment! I can’t wait to return and have her as a staff member in the future ❤️ we truly enjoyed our time this evening“

“We just had dinner celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. Our server was Daisy. She was AMAZING! Best service ever!! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great! Can’t wait to go back!! And thank you for the birthday surprise dessert! My husband loved it!“
