“* revised review for Breakfast*

We recently tried the new breakfast menu, and our initial impression is that the menu is certainly ambitious, but some of the menu items We’re a *bit* on the heavy side for breakfast. Nonetheless, it’s certainly a unique experience, which seems to be what they aim for.

I highly recommend trying the breakfast items, but for some it might be a *bit* too fancy...

Attention to detail”.

The stars should speak for themselves, but here is the more in-depth explanation:

It’s absolutely clear that the owners of this establishment invest a profound amount of time and energy into training and MENTORING their staff and holding them to a superb standard of service and of course attention to detail.

The front of the house we staff, from the host or hostess, to the wait staff and the bussers: every single interaction is Matt with professional courtesy and in many cases accommodation. The presentation of the order is always done with precision and accuracy, which I appreciate very much.

The products: whether it’s a quick sandwich for lunch or at dinner spread out over a couple of hours, each plate is prepared again, with intensive care and of course, attention to detail.

I have been coming here since they have open, but I have recently become a regular and I have started coming in here for lunch. I’ve had the opportunity to talk with the bartenders and the various weight staff, and from what I can gather there is a very good relationship between the owners and those whom they employ. Is also clear to me that there is a great deal of time and attention devoted to their training in the maintaining of very high excellent standards of service and conduct and professionalism.

It is with great pleasure that I bestow my highest endorsement professional and dedicated staff here at chophouse grill. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the service and presentation I’m such a finally crafted product, as well as the mentoring that goes into it.

The only true recommendation that I have would be to consider tablecloths for the dinner to “soften” the room/atmosphere. I am usually in there for lunchtime, which is a quick and informal affair. Most of the tables seat four; table cloths would be a nice touch and make the setting that more intimate.

Commendable job folks, extremely well done.

“My fiancé and I stopped here on a Friday night for the first time. We had tried a handful of other bars in Newport that were all packed but when we walked into Bar 12 it was almost empty. I ordered the Secret Garden cocktail and was so impressed with the presentation! It tasted as good as it looked too! I stopped by again this past Friday with four of my friends and tried the lemon meringue drink this time. It was amazing- super sweet and tasted just like a lemon bar! The prices are really reasonable for the quality of the cocktails and the location. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or small groups, the bathroom was super clean, and overall I’m just really shocked it wasn’t more crowded both times I went!“

“Perfect double date night spot! Menu has something for everyone & everything we tried was delicious. Fun cocktail menu & extensive beer selection. Staff was friendly & attentive. Will definitely return.“

“we have been there for their Breakfast, and Dinner. both were superb! the new owner greeted us upon sitting down , took the time to listen to us, and came back after our meal to make sure everything was good. No complaints here! 10 out of 10!!“

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

“The fact that the Celestial Cafe folks are still going strong after the many challenges of the last few years is testament to their enduring commitment to producing quality food using locally-sourced ingredients.

One evening a year or two before Covid, about halfway through a five-hour road trip, we stopped in for an early dinner. Things were quiet and we had a chance to chat with Chef Branden Read's mom, who shared the story of how he ended up opening the establishment. To get the whole story, you'll have to stop by at a quiet time and hopefully catch him to hear it first hand, but you should be ready for disappointment, for there aren't that many quiet times these days.

Having been eating here since 2010, I can speak with the perspective of long experience when I say that the food has been consistently excellent -- creative, frequently updated and well-executed. The Baby Back Ribs (a menu staple, thank goodness) are simply superb, just falling off the bone. The cabbages in the slaw and the cucumbers served on top are home pickled, light on the vinegar and delicately sweet. The bread pudding dessert is phenomenal, but with generous portions, perhaps get a helping to go? It's still fantastic the next day, as are the left-over ribs you'll surely be taking home with you.

A hallmark of a good place is staff longevity. Several of the servers have been there at least as long as I've been visiting,

With the fairly recent addition of event space next door and an outstanding bar area, this is one place I wish we could visit more often. Bravo Chef, keep up the good work.“

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

“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!“

“very good food but the portions are small especially the. fish and chips“

“My family and I stayed here for a recent event. We had dinner Friday and an after party Sunday. The staff could not have been more attentive and kind - Matthew especially worked hard to take care of us & never stopped smiling! Special shout out to Dalton and Angie as well! They made a great positive impact on our event and we will always appreciate it!“

“I enjoyed a perfect bowl of oatmeal, fresh fruit, and muffin on three mornings. They left us with two full pots of coffee, one decaf, for us to draw from as needed. The large windows and morning sunshine were nice. Friendly wait staff.

Kid-friendliness: Families seemed to be enjoying their dining experience.“

“We have been to Newport numerous times over the years and have had some wonderful meals at other popular restaurants, but our meal last night at The Grill took to prize. My husband and I had an early dinner and sat at a prime table overlooking the dock, as the sun was beginning to set. Our server was great and provided immaculate attention to detail. The food was terrific. My risotto was one of the best risottos I had ever had and I have tried lots. My husband's strip was cooked perfectly and the sides were very complimentary. I also had a few lychee cosmos which were delightful. Overall, our experience at The Grill was one our favorites so far in Newport!“
