The Helmway offers an exceptional dining experience with excellent food and friendly, quick service. Known as a great breakfast spot, it provides a perfect start to the day, especially for guests at the attached Pell Hotel. The restaurant features a warm, contemporary atmosphere with a neighborhood feel, making it a comfortable and quiet place even when busy. The menu is well-curated and varied enough to satisfy different tastes, with highlights like the crispy calamari enhanced with sweet chili, seared scallops, and tender steak cooked to perfection. The lobster ravioli and blackened fish and grits are also popular dishes, reflecting the restaurant’s partnership with local producers. The cinnamon bread pudding with chocolate sauce and ice cream offers a delightful ending to the meal. Guests often praise the attentive staff, including servers like DAN, who are helpful and super attentive, contributing to a relaxed and cheerful environment. The jazz trio adds to the relaxed, light mood, making The Helmway a favorite spot for seafood and burger enthusiasts alike, as well as a peaceful retreat away from the tourist crowds of Newport.
