If you’re coming to visit Newport and haven’t heard of Jo’s, it’s because it’s a hidden gem! Amazing local farm-to-table options that keep us and those who visit us asking to go back to that one place in Newport, I really loved! The service to guests with one or more allergies was superb! The chef personally came to our table on each visit to discuss what meals were safe to order. I have multiple allergies, so sometimes they would have made me my own off-the-menu special...read full review
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.
I can’t express in words how amazing the food was and being gluten free comes with challenges when eating out. But the only thing better than the food was the service. Tracey was our waitress and went above and beyond for us.

Jo's American Bistro offers an excellent dining experience with delightful, well-prepared food and friendly, attentive service. The menu features tempting options like Steak Frites, Beef Carpaccio, and a swordfish special, along with generous portions for appetizers. Customers praise the fresh, hot rolls and the overall quality of the meals, making this spot a strong recommendation for those visiting the area. The restaurant also provides fantastic gluten-free choices, with a gluten-free roll that is excellent when paired with a burger. The setting is bright and airy, with a lot of open air seating and soft lighting, creating a relaxing environment. The upstairs dining room offers a quiet spot with a view of the street through a window. The wine list is good, though an updated draft beer list would be appreciated, perhaps with a hazy IPA. The Prix Fixe option offers smaller portions that are well suited to lighter appetites. The dinner experience is often praised, with dishes like the Salmon, scallops, and Roasted Cod receiving high marks. Recent guests also praise the seared scallops in a pumpkin sauce with apple and sliced Brussel spouts, and the wedge salad. The chef personally discusses safe meals with guests with allergies, and the service and attention to detail are outstanding. Jo's American Bistro is highly recommended for a quality meal in a pleasant setting, and is especially accommodating for food-allergic guests. Overall, Jo's American Bistro remains a fantastic choice for those visiting Newport.
