This time I ordered the Glow Bowl with quinoa instead of rice, and it was perfect. The balance of quinoa, chickpeas, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, raisins, and the dressing was just right. The staff is always warm, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I love that the menu never gets boring because everything tastes so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I already look forward to my next visit!

Rating from New Yorker. While visiting Road Island, we…read morefound something vegan :) and wanted to try it out. We've noticed that customer services weren't great..... workers seemed not happy working. traveled about 180ml away we wanted to have a good time. Also they don't have a restroom.

Great spot to go to in Newport, RI! Came here two years ago and just recently had it again this…read moreMay. The food is so good here! Very fresh and honestly, very affordable for the aesthetic, quality, and taste. Plus the service is great. I've had their pastas, entrees, apps, pizza, and drinks and there is nothing you can go wrong with. My personal favorites is their kale salad, chianti marsala braised beef and mushroom tagliatelle. Again, the quality is great and everything is seasoned/ flavored well. Plus their pastas are homemade! They also give free bread, who doesn't love that? I cannot recommend this place enough. Perfect for a date night or night out with friends.

Located at Washington Square, Bar 'Cino is a cute spot. Walked in the afternoon and got seated…read morequickly. The restaurant was not that busy at the time. Our server Caitlin was nice. Spaghetti cacio e pepe was delicious. Simple but very flavorful. Rigatoni bolognese was good (but I loved the cacio e pepe more). For dessert, pistachio cake ricotta lacked flavor. It was plain chiffon cake that had some pistachio on it and whipped cream; it was a little disappointing.

We happened to come across this spot and the line was out the door. Decided we'd try another day…read more That night while watching football at a local restaurant, we met Keith. We mentioned we were interested in trying Cru and he told us we wouldn't be disappointed. The next day we went and though there was still a line, it went quickly. We ordered the Irish Breakfast Burrito, a side of bacon and potato hash, a sugar cookie, an apple hand pie, and an orange juice. The burrito was big enough to share (which we did) and was delicious! Big chunks of corned beef, eggs, cheese and potatoes. Did not disappoint! The OJ was fresh squeezed and just right. The bacon and potato hash was good, but a bit salty. I would have liked more chunky potatoes, but that's just me, my sister enjoyed them and they were tasty. Their cookies (you definitely need to get one!) are cut in half and filled with a buttercream filling and then the end is dipped in chocolate. They were so soft and the amount of buttercream was just right, not making it overly sweet. And they had so many different flavors of cookies it was hard to decide on just one. The Apple hand pie was perfect! The crust was nice and flaky without falling apart. The apples had just the right sweetness. I really debated about getting the blueberry muffin because we already had so much food. I definitely missed out on that. The lady next to us got one and she said it was delicious. (We got ours to-go because we knew we wouldn't have room after breakfast). Parking can be hit or miss, we lucked out and found a spot in the small lot. There is paid parking in the larger lot next door or you might be able to find parking on the street. It's definitely worth finding a spot to eat here. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's a cute spot to eat. We didn't have lunch there, but their lunch menu looked amazing and if it's as good as their breakfast, it's worth a visit.

It's a small, cozy spot with just a few tables and countertop seating, plus a couple of outdoor tables that are dog-friendly. The truffle mac & cheese may be one of the best vegan mac & cheeses I've had in a really long time. So creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The cauliflower bites were another favorite--fresh, crunchy little nuggets tossed perfectly in honey mustard. I originally thought the sauce would come on the side for dipping, but I actually loved that they were coated so evenly. So good! Hubby had the Rubenesque sandwich, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. There was also a steady stream of people picking up online orders and grabbing food to go, which definitely made us feel like this is a local favorite. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a meal here, or taking it to go for a beach picnic or to enjoy at one of Newport's scenic spots. And if you're looking for coffee and heading out of Newport, seriously recommend Simple Merchant House. We stopped there right before Sprout & Lentil, and again as we were leaving Newport on our last day. After lunch, we looped back into Newport to visit The Breakers and Marble House, making for such a fun day.

Smaller shared parking lot to be mindful of here. Very welcoming staff that provided a great overview of the menu, drinks, made to take items and weekly specials. Casual relaxed atmosphere here with some music jamming in the background. Window bar seating if you are on your own or tables for four if meeting for a quick lunch bite. Started with a small chili which was fresh and full of flavor. For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options). After eating here can see what all the buzz was for a standout vegan option on island. A group came in after me and ordered a pizza that looked awesome as well. Will be back to try more of the menu when able!!

As a New Yorker who visits Newport several times a year (thank you, timeshare life), Jo's is always…read moremy very first stop in town, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, the place is spotless. The windows practically sparkle, the bathrooms are arguably the cleanest in Newport (a detail that never goes unnoticed), and the décor? Absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship alone, especially the woodwork is worth admiring before you even glance at the menu. Speaking of which, the food is consistently excellent, but what truly sets Jo's apart is the service. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, yet incredibly attentive. It feels less like dining out and more like being welcomed into someone's home, if that someone also happens to serve fantastic meals. The staff are genuinely warm, friendly, and engaging. You can tell they enjoy what they do, they're laughing, smiling, and connecting with guests in a way that feels authentic. That kind of culture starts from the top, so hats off to the management for creating such a positive environment. Thank you again for another amazing dinner, I'm already looking forward to my next visit this fall.

High hopes for a Thursday evening date night. I was stoked to see beef carpaccio on the menu, so…read morethis was an easy choice for us. Hosts and server were inviting and friendly. The ambiance is lovely, with warm lighting that's not too dim to read the menu and beautiful woodwork. That's where the good parts end. The White Lotus cocktail I had was downright disgusting on first sip, but managed to perk up a bit with a stir. This is not an Aperol problem, I could honestly drink that stuff straight. I don't know what the used as a float on the top but it was not good. I left it on the table half full. My husband ordered the Blood Orange Bourbon Smash and it was fine. Tasted like a cup of bourbon. While it is nice that the rolls arrive warm, they're pretty obviously frozen ciabatta rolls reheated served with unsalted butter in plastic containers à la your continental breakfast at the Days Inn. The beef carpaccio that gave me heart eyes when I spotted it on the menu was uninspired and dry. The beef was not cut into pieces that made for easy eating and there was no acid in the dish to speak of. What a disappointment. My cod was beaten to death in the frying pan. Some of the driest fish I've eaten in a long time. The advertised romesco sauce is only on the focaccia slice, which really could have saved that over cooked fish. Somehow the clams were perfectly cooked, so that was nice. Everything needed salt, and I'm unaccustomed to giant globs of whole tomatoes being served with my seafood dishes. Just a really odd plate of food. Husband's orecchiette with ground sausage was also under flavored. Where's the red pepper flake? Sauce honestly tasted like it came out of a Hunts can. Made me miss my jar of Rao's. Look, maybe this place was great in the 80s and 90s when the majority of people smoked and it just exists on nostalgia? I am completely flummoxed by the long list of positive reviews. My dog is going to be delighted by my fish leftovers. Again, full credit to the staff who were lovely, but what is going on in that kitchen.

If you're looking for a fun, casual spot with great food and an even better drink menu, Wally's…read moreWieners is worth the wait. While they're known for their impressive selection of hot dogs, the menu also features delicious burgers, chicken sandwiches, turkey burgers, and crispy fries, so there's something for everyone. On this visit, we both opted for burgers. I had the Mushroom & Swiss Smash Burger, which was perfectly cooked with a flavorful, juicy patty and melted Swiss cheese. We shared an order of the crab fries, which were outstanding and easily enough for two. To wash it all down, I enjoyed a refreshing Dark & Stormy. One surprise was their espresso martini menu, featuring approximately seven different variations. It's a fun addition that sets Wally's apart from your typical burger and hot dog joint. Be prepared to wait for a table during busy times unless you're happy grabbing a seat at the bar. The food, drinks, and lively atmosphere make the wait well worth it.

Although I do wish they were a little larger ( they were small and I would recommend getting more than one which is good so you can try different flavours , since they have so many different options )

Hands down...delicious! I had the special with scallops,…read moreangel hair and capers. The scallops were cooked to perfection. And the sauce was lemony and salty. My side was the Caesar salad. Just the right amount of salt and pepper! Delicious. My hubby got the chicken and waffles. That gravy, oh my goodness! Bomb. Atmosphere is eclectic but fun. Service is TOP TIER!!!! The he place was packed and I see why. Also, I have an allergy to cinnamon. Going anywhere in October, I can be subjected to cinnamon. Our server, Melanie...amazing (ask for her), she made sure to tell the chef about my allergy. Wanted to order a dessert, but she asked the chef and he advised I could not due to possibility of having cinnamon. Very gracious server and chef!

I was treated to a birthday meal at Brick Alley Pub by a friend. I hadn't been there in years & had…read moreforgotten how fun & funky it was. We had reservations for 6PM but arrived shortly after 5PM. They were gracious enough to accommodate us immediately. Our server was friendly & attentive but very inexperienced. My friend ordered Salmon Piccata & she had no idea what that was... she thought it was served with scallops & pasta! We had to explain that Piccata was a sauce with capers; again, she didn't know what capers were. Fortunately, the kitchen understood the order & my friend received the correct dish. Unfortunately, the ends of the salmon were dry & inedible. However, she did enjoy most of the fish & the sides (mashed & veg), and there was enough to bring home. She also had a cider cocktail which, with the sugared rim, was a little too sweet. She would have liked a bit more cider, too. I had the patty melt with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was large & very good. I'm not a huge fan of thick-cut sweet potato fries; if I had known I probably would have opted for another side, as there's a $3 upcharge. The pickle was fantastic! I also had a glass of J. Lohr Cab, which was a good sized pour for $11. Prices were reasonable. Parking is always an issue in Newport. There is metered street parking & paid lots. Beware, parking is diligently monitored & tickets are $60!

Their egg basket without meat is one of my absolute favorites, so I'll definitely be stopping by again to pick up a couple more while we're still in town! This is definitely my favorite bakery in Newport.
