Restaurants in Newport

“It was delicious. The food was really good and the atmosphere was so comfortable. Our bartender Rowen was on top of it. The kitchen went out of their way to make our experience the best. Oooh and the tiramisu was so yummy. Thank you all for a wonderful meal.”

“We enjoyed having breakfast at this wonderful place while in Newport, RI. The people who own it and those who work there are AMAZING, friendly, and take the time to talk to customers while keeping service at the top of their list. They (from the kitchen to the front door) look like they love working there and have created a loving family environment. Of course, the line was out the door and down the street, but that was okay because everyone enjoyed visiting each other. There is just one warning, the portions are enormous. You know when my husband can't finish it, it's a lot. 🤣”

“Great staff, and great food!”

“Coffee and 🥯 Bagel were fantastic, highly recommend”

“A special touch without a doubt the best Breakfast ever, the food and service was of a wonderful standard, Kellie and Dave made you feel as if you were part of their family great people if you like a full English Breakfast this is the place for you they have it all the Bacon, Sausage not forgetting the baked beans and the fantastic PG Tip Tea thought I was in Heaven. Kellie's Café hard to find but easy to remember”

“Everything was delicious! We had a smoothie and a smoothie bowl. Very nutrient dense and high quality ingredients which is difficult to find these days while eating out so I truly appreciate that high standard. Highly recommend 🙌🏼”

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

“It was my wife and I’s first time in RI, and this was the best experience we have had since. Definitely our favorite part of the trip. The steak frites was cooked to perfection and flavor. My wife got the bolognese and 👌🏽. 10/10 would and will come again!”

“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!”

“I can’t believe it took us so long to dine here. This is hands down the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Ambiance 10/10, service 10/10 and food 100/10. The street corn ravioli was out of this world. I also tried the peach & prosciutto bruschetta which was savory & sweet and just sooo good. I kept seeing this Bloody Mary type of cocktail going out so I had to order one. This drink was AMAZING. It was called “Caprese my name” which consisted of vodka, basil, tomato and get this…pasta water! Serve in a martini glass with a little mozzarella ball garnish. The most delicious drink I’ve ever had. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it if you’re in town!!!”

“Our bartender and server, Allison, was so great! She made the most delicious cocktails and was so knowledgeable and kind. We had Negronis, the vermouth cocktail and the green gin cocktail with pistachio and they were delicious. We opted for the poached mussels, IYKYK pizza, and the whipped goat cheese with naan. This was our favorite meal this weekend! This is a new staple when we come to Newport. 10/10!!”

“Root is a nice vegan spot in Newport with a simple, comfortable setup and a straightforward menu. Nothing fancy, but it feels welcoming and easy to order from. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich, and it was really good. The flavor was smoky and slightly sweet, and the texture worked surprisingly well. My partner tried the Arriva grain bowl, which was fresh and layered with flavor without being heavy. Both dishes tasted well thought out and clearly made with care. The menu has a good mix of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and baked items, so it’s easy to find something whether you’re fully plant-based or just looking for a healthier option. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly, and things came out at a steady pace. Overall, Root feels like a solid place to go for a good vegan meal in town. I’d definitely come back for the food, especially that jackfruit sandwich. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-29”

“Ate here for the first time last night and it was amazing. Food was great, but the service was even better! Very friendly and accommodating.”

“Today we made a pilgrimage to Basil Yu’s restaurant, Yagi Noodles. My son happened to see that Basil had become a successful restaurateur while he was watching one of Guy Fieri’s shows. We had become acquainted with Basil when we were all involved with a Boy Scout Troop in Manchester NH. We were disappointed to discover that Basil wasn’t at the restaurant, however we got over it when we found out it was due to a commitment to a fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation. Basil, You weren’t there, but your food is delicious. You get the Merit Badge! You weren’t there, but your staff is spectacular! You get the Merit Badge! We wish you continued success! R&L Standish + R&L Welsch”

“Best experience ever, food was amazing, our server Jack was spot on and everyone was warm and welcoming to us and our puppy Opi who was treated like a queen ! Thank you, we will definitely be back and highly recommend Diego’s Newport!!!”

“Great place with friendly service. Drinks are terrific. Good place to watch the game. Highly recommend!”

“We just enjoyed a late lunch that was absolutely delicious! The lobster bisque was a great starter but the lobster Mac and cheese was the BEST we’ve ever had. Giant chunks of lobster were buried amongst the creamy noodles. We shared the lobster dish and it was plenty. \nThe fresh cod/ Fish-n-chips was also excellent, flaky light white fish. We waited 45 mins for our table, while sipping hot spiced cider - the food was well worth the wait.”

“absolutely amazing and authentic northern Italian cuisine! I felt like I was transported back to Tuscany. such delightful and hidden gem!”

“Great food and service A+”

“Just finished great meal. Huge lobster roll, high quality kids chicken and big beefy kids burger. I had the fish n chips which was amazing! Old Bay fries and what had to be a whole Cod! The best part was Peter N. He was very informative, quick in serving the kids which lets Mom and Dad relax. Such a great day and great meal.”

“The all you can eat sushi! Yum”

“The best little wicket pub with such an atmosphere and a great bartender. Was there on a Wednesday afternoon got some GF tots and my daughter for the country tots and the husband for oysters and some top shelf whiskey! So much fun and some really great people. Can wait to head back!!!!”

“Well yesterday i went there for the 4th time in my life and i had horrible food poisoning from either the seaweed or the sushi, i could´t even sleep because i was in agony but i will definitely come back just because the tempura cheescake is totally worth it.”

“Absolutely delectable! Every single thing was perfect from the bread & tasty olive oil, to the main meal. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is comfortable & homey. Perfect from start to finish, nice staff & absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!”

“A wonderful place to visit, they have three different floors with three different and very cool environments. It's good to see them all. I went and really enjoyed the food, the drinks, the waiters who are very attentive, and the whole atmosphere and decoration. It's really a place worth visiting.”

“Beautiful cozy atmosphere (especially during the holidays!) and great food every time! Highly recommend.”

“Service very good!! Food was fabulous!!”

“Beautiful spot to watch passing boats . Excellent meal . Swordfish was one of the best !”

“I have nothing but respect for these people. We were doing utility work today on the restaurant and when we were leaving, they sat us down and treated us to a lunch free of charge. This is definitely a place that everyone should check out because people like this deserve all the business they can get ! Thank you again!”

“my favorite place to eat”

“If you are spending time in Newport, please make a stop here . The food is awesome! You will have an amazing view of the Newport bridge . Lastly, I cannot say enough good things about our waitress . She was beyond lovely and sweet! Thank you all for such a wonderful experience !”

“Very professional experience, we have been to Bouchard/ Chanterelle before and never disappointed. From entering the restaurant and being seated to leaving at the end of the evening. Chanterelle continues to add that little touch you don't see much of anymore. We were impressed with the food, the incredible service, and the ambiance. Max, our waiter, was great and very accommodating. I highly recommend trying Chanterelle.”

“Love Becky and her colleague”

“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!”

“We were her last year and had to stop by again. From North Dakota. Great chill spot. Good music. Good beverages. We’ll be back later this week for their awesome sandwiches. Highly recommend for getting out of the packed places and grabbing a relaxing happy hour.”

“Amazing environment! Food was amazing!”

We love going there and are delighted they have greater dining capacity to share their talent! Congratulations on the new location up in Bellevue Gardens! See you again soon!”

“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 eggplant fries and pizza to die for. 😋”

“Great spot with amazing views from the rooftop patio—perfect for watching the sunset over the Pell Bridge. Loved the huge variety of drinks, from great beers like their blonde ale to their own distilled spirits. A really cool, relaxed place to hang out.”

“Fun atmosphere and great service!”

“We were vacationing in Newport from Wisconsin and stopped in at Cappy’s. Sue the bartender was friendly and a wonderful bartender. The owner Joe, what can I say….what a guy! Joe saw us walking to our Airbnb and yelled at us on the street asking when we were headed back home. Joe is a gem of a bartender. He has a gift of gab and can hand out the bs too. Nice local establishment with friendly customers and bartenders. We had Dan as a bartender too and he was a friendly, great guy! This place reminds us of our local pub at home where everybody knows your name. Thank you for your great hospitality! It made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Thank you!! LuAnn & Steve”

“1st time date night for us. We were met and had Darwin the AMAZING to ourselves. Fall cocktails were delish and menu changes were not disappointing! Bar12 was full when we left.”

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

“I went to Ben’s from a recommendation from a friend and today I was near Newport so I stopped by. It’s a small hole in the wall place but with plenty of seating and Ben’s delivered some great hot dogs. I had 3 different dogs and they were all fantastic so if you like hot dogs I promise you’ll love Ben’s chili dogs and I suggest getting the chili dog with cheese as it’s fantastic!!!”

“We ordered a wrap platter from Marco’s for my sister’s bachelorette weekend, and everything from start to finish was perfect. The ordering and pickup process was smooth and stress-free, and the wraps themselves were absolutely unbelievable – fresh, flavorful, and a huge hit with our group. I wish I had snapped a picture because they looked as good as they tasted! We’ll definitely be back – thank you for making our weekend even more special.”

“Ney Hall's Clam Chowder, served for lunch every Friday, is some of the best in New England and an incredible bargain with their prices. I'm reluctant to post this review because I don't want it to get so crowded they run out before I get some, but I don't want to keep the magical experience from others.”

“Love this place. Right on base, and the staff are amazing. Honestly, the "starbucks" drinks they make are better than the majority of actual Starbucks in the local area.”

“Lovely outdoor ambiance, we sat on the corner outside and watched the town wake up. Subtle queer vibes before 8am. Then the line got long. Jasmine green tea was pretty good (7/10) We really liked the decaf coffee (9/10) what a treat. The regular coffee was not noteworthy, but fine. Nitro’s is much better. Great breakfast sandwich, grab and go ready!”

“BEST TRIVIA EVER! Every Thursday at 6:00!”

“Great place!! Great people!! Great food!!”

“I visited the Portsmouth location for the second time this morning and this is a perfect first date spot imo. The large wraparound deck is so cute & cozy, like a farmhouse porch. & the coffee 🤩 I had a tiramisu latte last time, a cherry Garcia latte this time- I was not disappointed either time, the flavors were accurate without being overwhelming or weakening the espresso, & oh so delicious. The food is even better; the attention to detail & balance of flavor in the dishes is off the charts. I recommend the avocado toast or whipped feta plate, and if you’re not into coffee, their teas and lemonades are just as amazing.”

“Amazing cupcakes! Moist, delicious, and great flavor choices!!”

“Best little secret!! Awesome food! Joanna the owner is so sweet and friendly!! Need to go in and try!!! Thanks guys!! 😊”

“Best Catholic Fraternal Organization on the Island ! Doing the Good work of supporting worthy neighborhood endeavors and people in need! Friendship Unity True Christian Charity !”

“I don’t normally post reviews for food but…

We have been here twice, the first time, the ladies were super nice and fast.

The second time I ordered through the app and had my husband pick up. I ordered a veggie six inch and put extra of all the veggies. Sometimes when I ask this and get the sandwich and get home it still isn’t a lot. This time, opening up my sandwich I was so amazed! Whoever made it did a great job and it was very clean as well. I just noticed on my receipt, whoever made it wrote “tried my best, lol” on my part of the order. I hope whoever wrote that and made my sandwich reads this so they can know that you did a great job! Thank you!”

“Ordered a cake for a birthday and the baker did an amazing job with the decoration! The cake was delicious and we loved the strawberry mousse filling.”

“This food truck brings a unique flair to our events. Their dishes are not only flavorful but also visually appealing, adding to the overall experience of our guests.”

“amazing honey and maple latte! homemade fresh bagels! delicious chocolate chip cookies! kind and friendly staff!”

“I was thinking about eating it all day & it was worth it!!”

“Come across this joint some years back. Honestly the best spot in Newport for seafood and drinks. Actually everything they cook is amazing. Raw bar is great as well. If you find yourself in the area and don't stop in....you suck. Seriously best spot in Newport”

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

“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!”

“I was visiting Newport and decided to stop by your shop with a friend to get ice cream around 4pm on August 31st when we pointed out to the young guy making the order that he gave me the wrong cone. After pointing out that we asked for waffle cone he became very rude and started throwing things around and even swore. Needless to say we will not be returning there again.”

“Best lobster roll as compared to others I tried. The service was great. Outdoor seating and view of all the sailboats. The most amazing tasting Crab Benedict! So delicious.”

“Dined at one of the igloos they have set up on the wharf and it was beautiful and cozy inside with lovely views of the Newport Bridge. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect for celebrating a winter night. Shout out to the staff, who went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and made the whole experience perfect.”

“Best lobster tacos !!! The Management went above and beyond with their service. I had forgetfully left my (newly purchased) red parrot baseball cap under our table. We were visiting Newport, RI from the Northwest and chose to dine at the Red Parrot restaurant because of its excellent reviews. I called the next day about my cap, explaining that we had already left the city. To my comfort, the Red Parrot restaurant mailed my cap along with a bonus - a large Red Parrot T-shirt for my husband. What restaurant here in the Northwest would do something like that ?”

“Went with a party of four and all of our meals were exceptional. Without exaggeration, this was one of the top three best meals I've had. Went for the basics starting with shrimp cocktail (crisp, flavorful, fresh) then filet mignon (perfectly seared) with exceptional texture and taste considering I have it medium/well which can be a challenge. Finished it up with chocolate ganache which was surprisingly light and had a crisped marshmallow line alongside (ridiculously good). I know the general ratings from the majority are only about a 3, but that's why we dine in these establishments off season, when proper attention can be paid without the waves of whiny tourists that distract. Thank you very much. :)”

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

“Absolutely great food and service. Dined last Saturday evening with two of our teen and preteen grandchildren. All of us enjoyed our meals and the service was on point. This next point deserves mentioning as it speaks to the culture of the establishment: When my granddaughter became ill (NOT food related), the manager came over immediately to help comfort her… she brought hot tea and took her to more private quarters to relax until her discomfort passed. We were impressed and remain grateful for the compassion and level of care exhibited. We will continue to visit again and again in the future. Many thanks!!!”

“We had my daughters graduation dinner here last evening and it was fantastic. Bobby our waiter was exceptional. An experience we will cherish….thank you.”

“We enjoyed having breakfast at this wonderful place while in Newport, RI. The people who own it and those who work there are AMAZING, friendly, and take the time to talk to customers while keeping service at the top of their list.

“Natasha was absolutely wonderful and worked so hard making our bachelorette celebration so much fun. The igloos are beautiful and surprisingly were plenty warm enough even with last night's 23 degree temperature and 20 mph winds.”

“Very friendly servers.Good food.higly recommended.”

“The garlic parm fries are amazing as was the Wally’s punch. Servers were super nice”

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP. Contact her via WhatsApp through the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“I had an opportunity to sit at the oyster bar over the weekend and I was amazed at how clean Tyler kept his area. His customer service was incredible and he really goes above and beyond. I would definitely come back after the great experience I had!”

“My friends and I were in town to visit the Mansions for the holiday. I called ahead. The phone rang quite a few times but had no problem getting a reservation for 7 people. We were greeted and seated at a long table again a wall to the right of the door. Surrounding us were two booths and two high tops. Everyone was so friendly when you walk in. Patrons were all polite. Most seemed mid-thirties. We were whisked to our table when we walked in. Plenty of room at the table meaning we did have to squeeze in. I sat in a very comfortable wooden chair. The air outside was cold and snow blustery, but the restaurant was warm and had a cozy fill. The booths and tables were filled even at the mid-afternoon hour we walked. Our server immediately got us glasses of water. So much ice...so much! We next order alcholic drinks. My friend ordered from the cask. The server came back and said no go. He ordered a cream ale instead. Said it was ok. I had a snakebite. That is a Harp's mixed with a cider. The fusion beer concept is genius. The snakebite was grand.

Our water glasses stayed full the whole time.

When delivering our drinks, the server took our orders for our appetizers.
We ordered boxty, scotch eggs, mozzarella sticks, and sausage rolls. Our server brought 7 small plates. We started dividing up 2 large sausage rolls among 5 people as 2 people opted out. Their lose and I was pleased to have more for myself. The sausage was nice and not spicy. The puff pastry wrapped around it was light and flaky. The sausage roll was served over spinach. On the table was Chef Ketchup. Also malt vinegar. Next I had the scotch eggs. The scotch eggs brought back memories as they were similar to thy ones my grandmother would make right around this time of year. The two good sized scotch eggs came with a nice relish. Scotch eggs are hard boiled eggs encased in the sausage . They were close and delicious. I did not have any mozzarella sticks. When not in Roman do not as they do? However, I did really enjoy the boxty with sour cream. The potatoes pancakes were a little thick. Really well fried. I dipped my boxty into the sour cream with scallions. The boxty was top notch.

My main entree was a proper chicken curry served over mashed potatoes. Absolutely tasty. The bowl contained large chunks of chicken, bell peppers, and brown curry. Absolutely an A. It was perfect given the day. My friend next to me had the Cottage pie. The beef looked so good. The person across had an Busker burger. They were disappointed when it came out with mushrooms despite asking for no mushrooms. The server corrected it quite quick. My friend gave the burger about an A-. My other friend had the mixed grill. The rashers looked under done and beef overdone (suppose to be medium rare??as old as Methuselah's cat ). The white and black pudding looked good. All and all summation is this place was fantastic. My friends all thanked me for introducing them to this awesome pub.Slán agus beannacht leat.

Oh the bill came to $360 plus we left a $70 cash tip as the service seemed short staff.”

“cool beer garden and fresh sushi”

“Everything is always so amazing every time I go. My favorite smoothie is the pomegranate plunge, and I can't get enough of their breakfast wraps with spinach and pesto.”

“They had AMAZING chicken at an amazing price! It's located at a corner walk up window with outdoor seating tucked behind the building! We parked down the road and walked to it, so parking is hard but so worth going and taking a nice stroller to get to it!”
