We enjoyed our dinner at Beech. While they jave am expansive patio, we dined inside on a rather warm night. The dining room is a cozy spot and well appointed. Beech has a nice and varied menu with a good selection of first courses, salads and main course meals mostly consisting of Italian and seafood offerings. We ordered the grilled tuna as well as the grilled swordfish. While the tuna was perfectly cooked (medium rate) , the swordfish was a little overdone which resulted in some parts being tough. Admittedly a hard fish to get right, for the price point ($42), I expected better. Our server checked in on us frequently and friendly. If your travels takes you through Jamestown, definitely a place to grab a bite and a nosh. read more

The food was tough, literally. The menu lists a NY Strip, but what's served is sirloin. That kind of bait-and-switch sets the tone: a place that promises high-end but delivers cafeteria quality. The manager admitted it's a known issue they hear often. The mussels are out of the shell, which is usually a sign they're not fresh. Canned seafood in New England is blasphemous. To be fair, the service is excellent and the ambience is undeniably great for Jamestown. But go for a drink, skip the food unless you're in the mood for a jaw workout. read more

Our party of four for dinner was really disappointed with Beech, especially given that highly touted Boston chef Michael Schlow had recently become a partner. The beef dish had no flavor and the sauce was bland. Cod with prosciutto and leeks was so- so. The menu was limited and unremarkable. No specials were offered. Which is too bad since this place has a nice ambience. read more

We ate here twice in one day. First my wife and I dropped in simply because it was close to the harbor, where we stopped after touring Beavertail State Park. The harbor and adjacent beach offer views of the toll bridge that traverses the passage between Jamestown and Newport. Little did we know Beech would impress to the point of coming back that evening with 3 other adults and a toddler for dinner. In the early afternoon we ordered a couple of excellent cocktails, a half-dozen oysters, properly dressed with a side of lemon, mignonette, and horseradish spiked cocktail sauce, along with a Caesar salad with shrimp. All were so good we ordered another half-dozen oysters and a single additional cocktail that we shared. At dinner we were further impressed with assorted appetizers, which included more oysters, the fried calamari, and the sticky ribs, which are fantastic and a must to order. Main courses included the Beech Burger made of a blend of short ribs and brisket (this is no ordinary burger, which is accompanied by an excellent side of fries, and is highly recommended), the Atlantic Salmon, and the Fish & Chips. More cocktails were also sampled. Everything that was brought to our table was excellent and served with efficiency and friendliness. The location is within a block of the harbor, with some tables having partial views of it. We were pleased with our seatings and service at both our meals. read more

Beech Jamestown Where Date Night Dreams Come True. Listen, I don't write reviews often. But Beech in Jamestown had me pulling out my phone faster than I pull out my wallet at the end of a great meal. We showed up early like the eager, slightly-too-hungry couple we are. Did they make us wait awkwardly by the hostess stand? Absolutely not. They swept us into a bright, window-wrapped room so cheerful it practically hugged us. Turns out they'd lost power earlier that day. LOST POWER. You wouldn't have known it. These people were cooler than the other side of the pillow. Now. The food. Oh, the FOOD. I got the steak with puréed pomme, asparagus, and carrots, and I need you to understand -- this thing had a sear on it that made me want to stand up and applaud. The sauce? Somebody's grandmother's secret recipe dipped in liquid gold. It melted in my mouth so fast I briefly forgot my own name. My wife had to remind me we were in public. Speaking of my wife -- she ordered the Tortellacci. Stuffed pasta, porcini mushrooms, ricotta, limoncello cream sauce, white truffle shavings. She took one bite and just stared at me. No words. Just stared. That's how you know it was BANANAS. In the best possible way. The rolls came out hot and fresh, which is honestly its own love language. Our water and bread gal? Sunshine in human form. Smiling, attentive, welcoming -- the kind of person who makes you feel like a guest, not a table number. Our waitress treated us like family, which for two people on date night is exactly the vibe you need. Beech, you had us at the bread. You kept us at the steak. We'll be back on this island, and you will absolutely see our faces again. 10/10. No notes. Just compliments. read more

Overall the service could not have been better, very friendly and attentive. We were seated outside which was nice and once you're there you know where the name of the restaurant came from. But the thing you really go to a restaurant for is the food and drink. We tried the trumpet mushroom main course and it was interesting but kinda of fell short. And pretty pricey for what you got. The pasta puttanesca special was fine but again not that memorable. Overall I would go back for a drink but not to eat. read more

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to discover that Beech has added a prix fix menu to its extensive offerings. Couldn't pass it up and we were happy that we didn't. Both of us had the mussels which were steamed in a richly flavorful broth. The alternative offering was beef burgundy. I had a perfectly prepared and presented frisée salad with poached egg and champagne dressing. Wife had a Caesar salad which was not part of the menu. We shared the chocolate pot de crème which was included on the menu. A great and very affordable experience. There were even two pared wine offerings at reduced price. Our server, Cynthia, contributed to a very enjoyable evening. read more

Probably the best spot in Jamestown. Martini was great. I don't remember the appetizers, I think they were good, not crazy memorable. The entree was solid. Now that I think about it it's more like a 4 than a 5. Good spot. read more

We went here around 8 pm. It was very busy but not crowded. We didn't know that we were supposed to make a reservation but the hostess was very sweet and she still gave us a table. Due to the classy upscale vibe of the restaurant we felt very out of place, but the waiter and other patrons made us feel very welcomed. Our appetizers and food came out quickly. I was disappointed that they didn't have sweet tea, but I guess that only a southern thing. All of the food was amazing and our portions were bigger than I expected. I would definitely come back again read more

Love the new menu! The outdoor bar is a gem! We cannot wait to come back and try their new desserts!

We were visiting the area and walked by this very unique looking restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was Top Notch but not overly priced. We tried their highly recommended chicken sandwich and were not disappointed. The food came out quickly and our servers were all very friendly. They have a very nice outdoor area that has covered seating along with an outdoor bar area. Just be advised the kitchen does close every afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30. read more

First time to Jamestown and Beech and had the best time! Beech is a cool restaurant with multiple levels, we sat at the bar upstairs and our bartender,Rich, was awesome! Ordered beef carpaccio, calamari and the Bibb salad, all delicious. Great service and great food with a beautiful breeze, can't wait to go back! read more

I love the atmosphere at beach. Dom is so nice and very accommodating. Meg is great. She is often our server. The food is good but maybe due for a menu update. The female winter bartender could be a little more friendly. Overall a great place. read more

Food and service were both very good but we won't be return customers. We were charged $20 for a salad that was $18 on the menu. I agree with some reviewers here that the food is overpriced but to be charged more for something than the menu price is wrong. Disappointing end to what was an enjoyable meal. read more

As a customer who frequented Beech over the years I am extremely disappointed in the direction the restaurant is going. There have been many changes over the last two months that have driven the experience downward. The original Chef and the Head of the Front of House have been replaced. The quality of the food has gone down hill as the price of both meals and drinks have gone up. The wait staff and hostess teams are fantastic, they work hard but the atmosphere has gone down hill creating a poor experience. read more

So disappointed. We ate at Beech in August 2025 and it was certainly 5 stars. Today, May 17 2026 not so much. Very limited menu, unlike August. No raw bar. Drinks were okay, again limited to what was offered in August. Please have wait staff trained to tell you what menu items are not available when they bring the menu, not when you have been at the table 30 minutes and order, only to be told that the item was sold out an hour ago. The tap room was very loud and hard to hear conversations at the table. The one plus was the delicious rolls that came to the table warm. Even when we ordered dessert we were told the item that we ordered was not available. Very disappointing. Maybe due to college graduations they were out of food? However the limited menu was sad. read more

I went in for a 7:45 reservation on a Saturday night. It was tough to find parking, but we finally did get a spot in the parking lot. We sat at a small table for four. We ordered Poutine and Calamari to share. Hailey was our waitress and she was very attentive and knowledgeable. The Poutine was really good and very filling. The cheese and gravy was fantastic. The Calamari was good, but I would get another app next time around. The sticky ribs were absolutely amazing...highly recommended! We were filled up on the appetizers so I didn't get to order what I really wanted, which was the whole fried red snapper that was today's special. We ordered Gemelli (pasta and chicken dish) to split. It was very good, the chicken was tender and juicy and the flavors from the bacon, cream sauce and butter melded perfectly to the pasta dish. Every dish that came out looked great. I really don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. Great restaurant and great atmosphere. read more

After everyone in town said that Beech sucks I had to go try it for myself. I used to go in there about once or twice a week, great local place, always saw friends, food was good, so was service and had a great vibe. Well they were right, ordered a Narragansett beer, came out with no head on it, kinda flat. 4 people at the bar, this was a sunday night7/19 at 6 pm, the place should be hoppin, dead!!! then charged $14 for a $10 Beer. the owners suck, they dont care, they are all millionaires and dont give 2 shits about thier customers. Congrads, you have taken a great place and turned it into a dump. go to the Ganny, better food, better service, better price, oh yeah, Better owners read more

We dined at Beech last night with a large group of visiting boaters. They gave us two large tables in the outside dining area. Service for this large group was good. Food was OK; I ordered the pasta special which was $36 for a very small portion of pasta! Disappointing! Wine was expensive, $18/glass! We were not offered coffee or dessert at the end of the meal, instead we were asked to leave as we were told there was another large group scheduled for this table. I felt this was very rude...this is not how you treat a large group of out-of-town visitors to your restaurant. I am not sure any will want to visit Beech again!

Having watched a few iterations of this hometown establishment come & go, it's nice to see a well-developed concept settled in to this spot. The design & decor is tasteful & modern. The music was at a comfortable volume - Lots of Steely Dan & Van Morrison the night we were there. Nice. I made note of a beautiful, long, & wooden high-top table on the porch that could seat maybe around 12 people. This would be a great spot to dine out with a large group. Our server was friendly & efficient. She handled our multiple food allergies & intolerances with ease, double checking in with the kitchen when necessary to ensure that everything we ordered was safe for us to eat. I ordered the blackened swordfish which came with roasted tomato pilaf, spinach, & mango relish. It was phenomenal. A perfect late summer dish. I also had the specialty paloma with ghost pepper, but that was a bit underwhelming. My dad had the "simply grilled" salmon with basmati rice & substituted green beans, since he couldn't have some of the vegetables that it normally is served with. I tried a bite of the salmon & it was decent. The green beans were totally disappointing, especially since it's green bean season. They were wicked bland. Lastly, the bathroom needs some TLC. It was clean, but needed general maintenance. Screws tightened, tiles secured, etc. Easy fix. read more

My husband and I hosted a Rehearsal dinner for our son and his fiancé last night. It was amazing. The food was outstanding. The Ambiance was over the top. We rented the Tree House on the second floor. It was a beautiful night and all the window and doors were open out to the terrace. Staff was EXCEPTIONAL (Natalie, Marion, Olivia & Rich). Thank you all. You made the experience perfect. We couldn't have imagined how magnificent the night would be - we will remember it always! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Charming ambience. Service was good. However for the price, not worth a second visit. Two of us got fish dishes which were good. However I had the shrimp and lobster fra diavolo because I was craving lobster and spice. Everyone at the table agreed that it was tasteless-not just no spice but no flavor. Even the lobster had no flavor, and there was very little lobster and shrimp provided in a dish that was $39. One can easily find dishes made with homemade pasta and with chunks of seafood available at many nearby establishments. Overall, most of the food was fresh and adequately prepared but because of the inconsistency of the food and the price of many entrees well over $30, I would not recommend. read more

Located a block from the shore I came with one for a drink after visiting Newport. Fortunately it was mid way between lunchtime and dinner on a Sunday and they were not so busy so we had our choices for seating. There are multiple bars and sitting areas at different levels. We chose the top side bar that was upstairs. It had both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose indoor at the bar next to an open window because it was starting to rain out. The server was friendly and attentive, the crowd was friendly and we struck up conversations with other people. We ordered craft beers and mussels to share. The draft selection is small but familiar so it was fine. The mussels came with only one slice of bread so we had to ask for more to soak up the broth. The mussels were fresh but I thought the coconut was a little overpowering and didn't go for the broth. Overall the ambience and service were good. Location good. On street parking was fine. Next time will try something different. read more

Homemade pasta dishes were outstanding. Farro vegetarian dish was small and horrible and overpriced. Ambience was loud in the bar. Wine glass pours were small for the price.

Stumbled upon this place after we got off the Newport Jamestown ferry - if you use your ticket you get a free desert btw! Very cool rustic modern place with 3 levels including a huge outdoor bar. Sat at the bar, the bartenders were great and very chill - food came out quick and was excellent. The burrata was thick and creamy over a bed of tossed extremely fresh and crispy salad. I got the swordfish over rice and my wife got the chicken Sandwich. After a couple bites of hers - that was easily the greatest chicken Sandwhich I put in my mouth in years. Came with thick cut bacon and the Alabama white sauce was equally as amazing. The swordfish was a nice 8-10oz steak charred and seasoned perfectly over a nice bed of rice and vegetables. Topped it off with a thick and dense slide of bread puddling - if you put that in your mouth you will definitely enjoy it! read more

The manager at the front is quite rude. Wasn't pleased with the food or service. The standard across the street is much better.

It was my first time visiting Jamestown and it's a cute little town. This restaurant is very cozy and inexpensive if you're looking for somewhere nice on a budget. I think my husband and I spent about $80 on a drink each, shared app and entree, so I'd call that pretty affordable. Our waitress was very attentive and checked in on us every now and then. The only complaint I'd give is that the lobster ravioli's portion size is very small. It was tasty but I was definitely expecting a little more. My husband enjoyed his chicken pasta (can't remember the name). The calamari was very fresh. Probably the freshest I've ever tasted. Overall great experience. read more

First time here. My wife and I joined another couple and we had dinner upstairs at Beech. The ambiance was positive. The tables were nicely spaced and well set. Downstairs dining room looked nice as well and there was a bar on each floor. It has a small parking lot. Our server greeted us and was really great. She had a lot of enthusiasm and great suggestions for appetizers and meals. The dirnks we had were well made and generous. Not super strong but not weak either. The food was great. I had a most excellent beet salad with goat cheese. Beets were nice and fresh and served in slices. The dressing was excellent and was a champagne vinegarette style with some citrus. My wife had the fried brussels sprouts and they were great. Not overly salty or soggy with just the right amount of crunch. For my entree, I had a beautiful piece of blackened swordfish with Jasmine rice and fresh steamed veggies. The swordfish was a thick baseball cut and was perfectly prepared and spiced. My wife had the salmon special and same can be siad for the preparation. Portions were good sized and priced fairly. It was a good value for sure and we will be back. read more

Usually a 10/10. My first ever experience was outstanding and it's been pretty darn close every time since. This last time I will say that service was lacking ever so slightly. Friendly for sure, but a little hectic, and tried to read specials to two tables at once. Regardless of business and kitchen hours, especially at a venue such as this, I do expect attentive, more personalized service. Food was absolutely delicious as always. The ribs were a very pleasant surprise, and props to the bartender for an amazing martini! Atmosphere is lovely, and definitely recommend for dining in Jamestown. read more

Absolutely adorable place, we dined in the front dining away from the bar. Our server, Valerie, was sweet and attentive. The French onion soup was flavorful. Both of our pasta dishes were delicious. We enjoyed our time there very much. It was very loud between the bar conversations and a happy baby nearby, but it was a celebratory level of loud and laughter. read more

The service is good. Ambiance is relaxing. We ordered oysters, beef carpaccio miso tuna (looks like very popular) and fish and chips. All of them are delicious. Oyster are so smooth. Beef carpaccio, the mix of the meat, the cheese, veggies and their sauce are just perfection. And the tuna just complimented all those appetizers wonderfully. Also the drink i got "strawberry negroni". Pretty drink yet potent. read more

Excellent service, great ambiance and good food. We had a reservation for inside but once we got there they were able to accommodate us with outside seating, which was great. Several different levels of seating making for a great ambiance. Bar area, high tops, pergola covered seating by sidewalk. Very pleasant atmosphere. Several different specialty drinks but if you want a tried-and-true, no problem. Many wines by bottles, also. Chowder was good, fish was excellent and dessert was yummy. We were happy with the whole experience. Our waitress (Mary) had her hands full with teaching a new worker but she was friendly and efficient. We had a wonderful experience on our last night in town, thanks! read more

Warm and inviting with acoustic tunes overhead, date night was had at Beech Jamestown. I started with the rosé sangria and French onion soup. My husband started with the sticky short ribs. Rich and comforting the French onion soup is a must order. My husband really enjoyed the sticky short ribs. For the main course, the blackened swordfish- was cooked perfectly. My husband had the short rib ravioli from the specials menu. The ravioli, homemade in house, were soft pillowy pieces of pasta filled with tender short rib meat. Served in a bowl of ragu, it completely melted in your mouth. I ordered a second drink- the garden park (I think ?)- and that was sweet and flowery like I was taking a walk through the garden! We contemplated dessert, but none of the three options really made us need dessert (we were pretty full)! Megan was our server and she was awesome! She had great recommendations and offered me something else when I wasn't thrilled with my rose sangria but I declined! It was just stronger than I anticipated. We will be back for another date night! read more
