This was the most amazing birthday meal I have ever had. The service was top notch. The drinks were delicious. The wine pairing was so informative and perfectly chosen. Each course was a culinary delight. The only way to describe is it's not just a perfectly coursed meal, it's an experience and one that everyone should have. As a local Newporter I will recommend to everyone as the newly named restaurant lives up to the long standing traditions of Castle Hills reputation and should be enjoyed by all

Dined on a Sunday night, off season... exceptional Service, veteran staff, beautiful Room, six course experience with several extra surprises, portions were not too large, smart... soft music, in quiet room, 2.5 hours of leisure with no rush... Perfect for a Special occasion... all the details... beautiful cutlery, glasses, lighting... we will be back.

The six course tasting menu along with the wine pairing was amazing!!! Each course was paired with a wonderful wine which perfectly complimented the food. Our servers Lexi and Carl were extremely attentive and very knowledgeable about every course, including where the ingredients came from. We were able to view the sunset over the Narragansett Bay from our table. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.
Laura
Absolutely amazing experience- food was out standing- spectacular view of the sunset-extremely knowledgeable staff regarding every food item and wine selection- we did the 6 course experience and it was worth every penny! Highly recommend.

My boyfriend (now fiancé) took me here for a fancy Valentine’s Day dinner. It is by far my favorite restaurant in Newport, second to none. It is right inside Castle Hill on the cliff walk and besides the spectacular view, the service was emmaculate and food was scrumptious! My partner spared no expense and added on the wine pairing as well as the cheese platter (highly recommend). Did you know that Aurelia is the scientific name for moon jellyfish? The seafood is as fresh as possible including local RI oysters and lobster and I loved the sustainability of the scallop crudo presented in the shell. If you only go to one restaurant in Newport, make it this one!

We were offered a 7 course chef inspired food extravaganza . Each course was paired with a fabulous wine that complimented that dish. Our service from Tom and Don was exceptional !!
Nicole
We enjoyed an incredible meal and experience for our 20th wedding anniversary. The property is beautiful and all the attention to detail and personalization was top notch. Highly recommend!
The 6 course tasting menu with the wine pairing was fantastic. Each course was better than the previous and the sommelier did a great job of pairing wines to bring out all the flavors. We would highly recommend this Inn/restaurant.
Peg
Sophisticated fine dining. Wait staff was amazing. Food and wine were interesting and delicious and presentation was delightful. The Duck Rillette was superb; my favorite course of the 7. A special place for a special occasion.

The environment, service, attention to detail, knowledge about food, wine and origins, the dishes themselves, and the attentiveness of the entire staff was exceptional. This is a tightly run operation and I highly recommend. We had a tremendous time overlooking the ocean. We felt relaxed and so enjoyed it all. Perfect spot to celebrate a milestone birthday. The whole team truly went above and beyond. Thank you!
Cheryl
Was truly a memorable meal. All the foods and flavors were delightful. Lots of locally sourced foods. Service was excellent. As a non typical fancy diner the whole experience was non pretentious and a great way to celebrate a memorable occasion
Took my wife for her 40th birthday. It was a great experience from start to finish. We even got to see an amazing sunset. Food was excellent. We decided to do the wine pairing and added the cheese selection as well. Thank you to all the staff for making my wife's 40th birthday one to remember!
