This is not the Original Christie’s....please don’t confuse it with the incredible Christie’s Restaurant that my Grandfather Steve Christie started in the late 30’s. I don’t understand why they use his name.

Awesome place for a party, like the Newport Pride 2019

When I was a child in the late 50's and early 60's my Grandmother wold take us to lunch at Christie's. In her understated words: A fine Newport restaurant" Forty years later I went back and was very disappointed. It was dingy, run down, smelled sort of rancid and the food was just plain lousy. So I didn't go back till very recently. What a pleasant surprise. All redecorated and lightened up, all new menu, new owners and a real pleasure to see one of Newport's original wharf area eateries resurrected. I had, as always a cup of clam chowder to start, and glory hallelujah, it had lots of clams in it. (Yes, I once did get a bowl of clam chowder with no clams in it in Newport several years ago.) The chowder was followed by grilled swordfish cooked correctly (Just Garlic Butter, salt, pepper and NOTHING ELSE) which was delicious. So Christie's is back and better than ever. It's a little further down Thames Street, but oh so worth it once again.

The shrimps and mussels are extremely good. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is not crowded. The special drink is a great idea.

Food is awful! 2 stars only for the Friendly staff. Place doesn't worth even to try it. Very dirty inside, dishes are not fresh, neither tasty. Upscale restaurant Prices for chain restaurant quality food. But the last I think, would be even better.

The service was very slow

The place needs some love but love the atmosphere and prices. Never a line but once it catches I'm sure there will be
This place is awesome! Customer service is great, plenty of room to hang out, indoor outdoor is great, prices reasonable and just an overall great experience. Love it here, will come everytime I'm in Newport!

Avoid. Long waits for not so great food.

The worst experience. Went here bc other restaurants were packed, and this one (no surprise) was not. Ordered 1 app and 2 burgers and fries- and were there for 3 hours. Missing one fries. The manager was sitting with a table of chicks instead of managing and was offering them free food and booze since they were complaining about the service as well. He kept telling them and us 'it's a long wait for the food but worth it.' What a joke. When we left, a smart girl at the table of chicks was saying 'let's run from this place!' And we replied, run! Run! BTW - the manager told the table of girls that he was a yacht captain - but apparently he also worked his summer saturday nights at this crappy excuse for old Christie's. Run.
