Aurelia in Newport was an unforgettable experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere inside felt both elegant and inviting. Every course was prepared with such care and creativity, making the evening feel truly special and memorable.

Presentation and service was flawless but flavors missed the mark. Seems like the chef was trying so hard to be unique he /she forgot to taste her/his final product. Just ok nothing spectacular for the level . I've had better for nearly $1k.

Impeccable service, nice ambience and beautifully presented food. We did the tasting menu which I enjoyed. My favorite was the cheese course (which was an additional cost).
WILLIAM
A unique, delicious dining experience with unforgettable views of Narragansett Bay and the ocean. Worth every penny. Fantastic food, service and ambience. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
Megan
People were lovely, pace of courses was perfect, staff was so warm and engaging. Nothing but great things to say.
Alexandra
It was an absolutely lovely experience. We didn't enjoy the view fully as it was over the more casual outdoor area and that was strange with the very formal experience with very informally dressed people and families. The champagne bar was also very overpriced. Otherwise a very unique and amazing dinner!
Genna
Six course tasting menu with wine pairing was exceptional. We added the cheese course as well. Incredible experience!
Alessandra
What a wonderful meal to celebrate my sister in law bachelorette, it was her first fine dining experience and she couldn't have any better experience than this one. From the host, management, bussers, runners to our server Lexi, THANK YOU for making this a memorable one for her, we can't wait to go back.

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!
