Best restaurant in Newport (I haven’t been ti Aurelia fyi). Traditional french food with slight twists that show respect to the traditional elements but get you excited to experience them in a different way. Awesome staff.

Replaced the old bourchard's as part of the bouchard inn. Still classic French menu.

Textbook execution of classics with slight twists done exceptionally well. The food was seasoned, delicious, and comforting. The hospitality from our very first steps in was warm and welcoming. Our server Zack(Zach?), was the do it all man of the night (bartending, serving, bussing, the list goes on), and still gave us A1 service. Thrilled to know that Newport has a gem like this. Chef Jasmine and her team are killing it. Thank you for a memorable meal!

Can’t say enough about this place. It was the highlight of our trip. Our group of 3 dined here for dinner and decided to try a lot of little items. We had the jambon et epoisses, the onion soup, Caesar salad, escargot, figs, mushroom dish, beef tartare, basque cheesecake, and soufflé. All of us had different favorites but we loved them all. The atmosphere was beautiful and inviting. Our hostess was so friendly and our waiter was excellent and a lot of fun. We even came back the next night for soufflé because it was so fantastic. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

Went for their famous Grand Marnier Souffle on this night and it didn't disappoint. Sat at their new bar, the bartender was fantastic, plying his craft with flair and creativity. We have dined there before, if you haven't been you are denying yourself one of the best dining experiences in Newport!

I had an amazing time and I’ve been coming since the days it was Bouchard. Every single person I have spoken to says it has gone downhill under the new ownership but I don’t agree. I do miss their signature lobster dish but otherwise I think the place is fantastic. Even if it’s not quite as good as it used to be, it’s still the best restaurant in Newport. You simply cannot do better for service, atmosphere and quality food. I am not impressed by Thames st Kitchen next-door who actually owns Audette. Their services not very friendly and the steak is worse than something you could grill at home - TouristTrap - but that’s a different review. Audette is well worth a visit!

Bouchard was always one of my favorite restaurants. Audette has taken that fine dining experience and injected a lively new atmosphere while maintaining a top notch dining experience. Well done!

We were at Audette last night; 26 August. Neither me or my partner could fault anything about it. By far the best dining experience we have had here, this is our second time to Newport this summer. Our waitor, Daniel, is a pro. The food was excellent, we both lived in France and agreed that this was fantastic. We were not rushed through our courses, it felt truly relaxing and luxurious! Fantastic evening, atmosphere and food. Will be back again if we come back to the area and will def recommend to anyone we know that comes to the area!
I visited Audette restaurant last nite and couldn’t be more pleased with the service and quality of food offered. Both were exceptional and tailored to meet the expectations of fine cuisine. Our waiter was very friendly, took the time to explain the menu and never rushed our meal.. Always present but never imposing. Hats off to the new chef who has introduced some new and very tasty menu items… I had the seared tuna and would highly recommend!!!! This restaurant will remain a favorite for me.

Thank you for setting the standards for what a restaurant should be. What a rare gem.
Audette was our third option, as all the fancy rooftop/waterfront restaurants were booked for the day. Boy, am I glad that it was our third and best choice — next time in town, it will be our first, by far. Despite having full house, they were adequately staffed and we got plenty of attention. Attention to detail was evident from the moment you set your foot into their door. Staff is well groomed and very classy. Wine choice for Reisling and Rose couldn’t be better. Details of the interior are neutral and yet elegant. The chairs are very comfortable and tables are good size to fit a small flower vase, a lamp and full set of silverware. Then come the dishes — each set of ceramics that landed on our table was eye candy so many restaurants lack. Appetizers and Entrees were smaller portions (for US standards), but they were so good that we literally said “wow”, making sure we leave space for next dish such great combination of taste, texture and presentation of all ingredients left us both impressed and so happy that we were turned down at the other two venues. Soufflé for dessert was the cherry on top of this cake.
The entire time, we felt cared for by every person who approached our table. We had 3 different people taking care of us (with many more behind scenes, I am sure) and we left feeling as if we are royalty.
Thank you. We will be back.

I've eaten here several times with my daughter and mom when it was Bouchards. Dan makes us feel special, especially my mom and daughter! He goes out of his way to serve the excellent food and wine. I don't mind how big the bill adds up as long as we can try everything on the menu.

The kind of place that you want to go in Newport. Probably only about 10 or 12 tables, but exquisite food, terrific wine, and a great ambience.
