One Bellevue

Wonderful service and class.

Had a wonderful time. Spa was excellent.

We stayed here last weekend. We stayed in the junior “suite” when I say suite I literally mean it’s like sleeping in a trailer. There Is a constant noise in the room. The room just has a dirty feeling. The tile in the bathroom is nasty, there are stains on the ceiling. We stay at this hotel all the time and it is just loosing its touch. So disappointed definitely not worth $780 for one night on off season. Total joke.

An afternoon tea experience to remember! From the moment we stepped into the stunning, historic hotel on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, we were transported to a world of elegance and charm. The atmosphere was breathtaking, with intricate details and timeless décor that perfectly set the stage for our tea.
Angela, our guide for the afternoon, was simply outstanding. Her in-depth knowledge of the six teas we sampled added a rich layer to the experience. Each tea had its own story, and Angela’s passion shone through as she expertly explained the varying caffeine levels and unique flavor profiles. Her recommendations were spot on, and every sip was delightful.
The tea tower was a masterpiece, both visually and gastronomically. The bottom tier featured savory delights that perfectly balanced the sweetness to come. The middle tier was a celebration of tradition, with perfectly baked scones and a standout lemon blueberry pound cake that was as delicious as it was beautiful. But the crown jewel was the cranberry scone—heavenly, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
The top tier was a whimsical indulgence, featuring colorful macarons, an exquisite éclair, and a raspberry cake that was as delicious as it was artfully crafted. Each bite was a testament to the skill and care that went into creating this magical spread.
The combination of Angela’s knowledge, the impeccable flavors, and the stunning ambiance made this afternoon tea an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newport or looking for a sophisticated yet cozy way to spend an afternoon. Five stars are simply not enough!

Don’t have your wedding here. They dont care about you or your guests experience and interactions. They dont uphold their contract and just tell you its your fault for not having a day of coordinator. They try to hide price increases through the planning process and when you point it out they may do it this as a “courtesy” They have poor communication in planning, day of and after. Overall experience can sum up to they cant be bothered but will cash the check. But the foods great. New chef excellent. Linda, excellent. Almost everyone could use a refresher on hospitality and how not to be phony.

Scallops not very good. Expensive martini had cheap olives. Brussels were good. Ambiance was poor - felt like the breakfast room at a Hampton Inn. Server was very nice, only thing that saved it.

Bit of a hidden gem. This place is not in one of the main restaurant areas but is located in the Hotel Viking so if you weren't aware it was there, you could easily overlook, but we're so glad we did not! The drinks and food were all amazing and we loved that they took some classics but added unique elements to them (I especially loved their take on the Burrata salad!). We went at an off time so was slower but it's lovely restaurant and hotel. Service was super friendly and helpful - thank you James and Angela! We'll definitely come back our next time to Newport.

Everything. Terribly managed. Dilapidated.

Staff is terrible! Not greeted warmly at hostess desk. They sen 3 servers to you to translate a simple breakfast order. Manager has absolutely terrible manners dropping food and drink without speaking as she’s rushing. I’m glad myself and my family have great attitudes and found their awful service to be humorous.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Viking during my recent trip to Newport, RI, and I was instantly transported to the Gilded Age. My first day, while it poured outside, I ventured into the bar at One Bellevue. Initially, I was in the mood for tea, but the Gimlet on the menu caught my eye and felt perfectly in tune with the Gilded Age vibe I was seeking after visiting The Breakers.

Lincoln, the bartender, crafted the most exquisite Gimlet—a perfectly balanced mix of tart, sweet, and a hint of gin. It was so delightful that I decided the Gimlet would be my drink for the vacation, if not the entire summer!

Throughout my stay, I sampled Gimlets at various spots, including The Mooring, where it was just okay, and 22 Bowen's, where it was better. However, none could compare to the perfection of the Gimlet at One Bellevue. I had to return for another before my trip ended.

I cannot recommend One Bellevue, Lincoln, and their exceptional Gimlet enough. It truly encapsulated the elegance and charm of Newport's historic allure.

This place has a LONG way to go. We were a party of 10 and I don’t think anyone enjoyed their food. The “shrimp scampi” had a tomato based sauce (???!) the steak frites at $47 was literally the most pathetic 1/4” thick steak I have ever seen. Ordered medium rare, it was served well done and lukewarm. They were having computer issues which frazzled the poor server, some drinks never arrived and took a trip in to the bar to find them, but she could only do so much with sub par food. So I guess we found out why every single time slot was available for a Saturday night.

The atmosphere on the patio was lovely but it’s really a shame the owners aren’t investing in good staff. The Viking has just never lived up to its potential.

We got room service from here. There is a 6 dollar delivery fee and an automatic 20% gratitude. Neither of us liked the pizza, but the meal did come quickly and was well plated. The fries were very good. It’s a bit pricey but honestly what’s to be expected in the area.

We brought our family to Easter brunch and the experience was very disappointing. There was only one waitstaff for the room. We had to ask several times for drinks and coffee and finally go get our own at the bar. The food was average, but definitely not worth the $90/plate charged.

I attended a Galentine’s Day tea here. The atmosphere was relaxed & each table was beautifully arranged. The food & tea were both delicious & the complimentary valet was convenient. As far as service, I felt a little neglected as I noticed that other tables were offered milk for their tea & another glass of wine. I wasn’t offered either. The service team, however, was nice.
