Avocado toast
Barbara B.

Kristina was working hard to take care of us as she seemed to be only waitress on duty. We loved sitting outside on this beautiful day. Everyone loved their lunch. The avocado toast was delicious with the goat cheese, sun-dried tomato and red onion . My friend only had half her burrito which was stuffed with shrimp, avocado and feta. With a side salad it was enough for two meals. Highly recommend this for a wonderful lunch in Newport.

Omelet
Tara L.

The Corner Cafe has never, and I repeat, never disappointed. The Claudia's Pick (veggie omelet) with a bolo and spicy ranch is my go to because it is perfect in every way. The veggies are super fresh, the home fries are full of flavor and the spicy ranch is so good, I wish they sold it in bottles. The service is also something that can't be beat, everyone is super friendly and treats you like a regular even if it's your first visit. Even though the location appears small there is tons of seating and also some outside dining when the weather cooperates. Hot tip: It can get pretty busy and the line to wait is outside, so be mindful of that. Also, it is BYOB and there are a couple if places near by to pick up some bubbles for a Saturday morning mimosa.

Honestly, this place is worth the wait in line. The line actually goes pretty quick. This was our first stop once we got to Newport early that morning. I am such a traditionalist when it comes to breakfast, as long as I am not at a Mexican restaurant. So my goto would be two eggs overeasy, sausage, bacon, some sort of potato side, toast and a side of pancakes, and that's why I ordered The Beast. When somone else at the table gets something different they are always kind enough to share, which what happened at our table that morning The son-in-law order an omelete and I want to say it had salmon in it, and he let me have a piece and it was delishes. Our daughter ordered a sweet breakfast called the Portley's Portuguese French Toast, she liked it. The service was great, fast and efficient. The place is small but it works. They only have one restroom, so you will have to wait for it. I would definintely come back for breakfast.

The food was fresh and tasty. French toasts appetizer it was amazing. Mom had the Lisbon express she loved it.I had the Athena was very good. Service was nice and friendly, a little busy. The place has a homie vibe and I love it. Will be back.

California benny
Una D.

Actually pretty good. We came here to enjoy tennis at the Newport Hall of famed and wanted brunch beforehand They're very, very, very small place. It's very tight. The line goes around the corner. Since it was just the two of us. They moved us ahead and had a seated at the bar which is not my preferred seating. But whatever. Maybe because it was Sunday and brunch hours were prime. California special Benedict. It came with avocado, toast, spinach, roasted vegetables, home fries. I added some pork sausage. It was a lot of food. I couldn't finish it all. I also got a cup of tea. They're tee options are not great. The other complaint I would have is that their bathroom is really insufficient. They have one bathroom for the entire establishment which is not acceptable. They actually have a waitlist for the bathroom. WTF. I get that they're small but they really need to fix that. That's not going to fly when they're very busy, especially during brunch hours. I don't know what their parking situation is but most of it's on the street and on Sunday it's free. Overall I think the price is okay given the quality of the food. All of my food plus my friends was over $60. It's a little bit on the high side if you ask me but given the food was tasty, I'll let it slide. I think if you're in the area you should give it a shot

This restaurant is a must go to if you're in Newport, RI! There's always a line, but it's worth the wait and it moves so fast! The service is the best I've seen! The owner checked on our table and the waiter was so attentive. The ambiance was very comforting. There's a lot of people fit into a small space, but it still feels so spacious. The food is amazing! They give you great portions, it comes out hot, and it's very flavorful. There's a variety of options which makes it so hard to choose from. I wish I could eat here every morning.

Kids menu chocolate pancake
Cyrus T.

Love the food here. I ordered the california Benny. Potato is well season with pepper. Love the poach eggs, with spinach and pepper. Wife got the victoria omlette, which i think is ok, but she loved it. Kids got the French toast and pancake. They both love the food, and pretty much cleaned the plate. We sat in the corner, which is fitting since the name of the restaurant is corner cafe. It is a cute spot, like sitting in a bay window. Service is very attentive.

Cowboy scramble
Nicki S.

Great service. Delicious breakfast! This is a very cute place but does get busy but we were able to be seated within 10 minutes. Food came out fast as well and service was wonderful. The breakfast was really good and the potatoes were some of the best I've had in a while. Tried the cowboy scramble but there's a lot of unique options! If you're staying in the area, it's a short walk and worth it !!!

My friend and I were in the area on a weekday to visit the Audrain Automobile Museum and based on some reviews, we decided to have some breakfast here beforehand. It's a cute place, with plenty of parking in the area and about a dozen tables inside. Although it was a busy, the food came out at a good time and the service was good. I decided to have a typical breakfast - potatoes, English muffin, eggs, and bacon with an order of French toast for dessert. I was mostly excited about the potatoes because of what other customers commented; I was pleased with the pesto like flavor they had. The bacon was cooked well, but on the thinner end. The English muffin was grilled with butter, delicious. The French toast was simple, and regular bread was used (instead of the thick bread) so the syrup was able to penetrate through better. I would be happy to come back and try other items since their menu has a lot to offer.

Cornbeef Hash Omelet, 2 Egg Breakfast
Wil H.

Absolutely incredible Breakfast and service!! Short wait but the food, in-house Cornbeef was amazing. The wait staff were excellent and provided timely service.

Wooten's French Toast with Maple Pecan Butter... Wow!
Fran C.

What a cute place! Beth was an awesome server who, thankfully, told me to try the Wooten's French Toast with the DELICIOYS, homemade Pecan Maple Butter before using syrup... great advice! I had 2 eggs over easy on the side as well. It is a popular place with delicious and unique food, so expect a line outside. YUMMY!

sausage
Micole H.

I did not enjoy my food here, my partner did. I only liked the sausage, I found my french toast to be very dry. I also asked for no bananas and they quite literally hid them under whip cream specifically. Thank God I'm not allergic, they just overpower anything they are in and I tasted them immediately what a terrible thing to do to a customer. The real issue came with checking out. My partner, ask for the checked, she brought it and he immediately handed her his card. She takes it and starts to go but then the table next to us flags her down and she literally stops dead in her tracks to take care of them. Im talking taking full orders, answering questions etc meanwhile we are staring at her in disbelief. We have never had this happen to us in a restaurant. My partner said shes just a bad waitress, I believe it was implicit bias. At least im choosing to believe that over outright prejudice. Everything in her told her she could not leave these white people waiting while she wrapped up a check, but we, the black people absolutely could wait. It was just so bizarre. She was standing there that long with the other table with my partners card and check in hand that at one point she even glanced up because again, we have never experienced service like this and just blatantly held hostage while she tended to people she deemed more important. This was our only experience like this in Newport, we will back to Newport but will not be back here.

Orange juice and chai latte
Hussain L.

We heard so much about this place and finally got to try it out! We waited outside for about 10 minutes, and we're seated in a really nice comfy booth. Service was very good, all staff were friendly and kind! The food was decent. Really depends on what you get. The California Benny was delicious, perfectly poached egg, fresh ingredients with peppers and spinach. Home fries are the large potato kind. Do not recommend multigrain French toast with apples.. The mix of ingredients did not gel well at all. But the staff was very kind and gave us our money back! On the other hand, the spice chai latte was delicious! We wanted to come back and get it to go, too bad they do not take to go orders.

The first time I walked in I ordered a 10" cheese well done and a soda just to try it out. It should have been 14. When I went to pay for it it was just about $17. I had asked why so expensive? It should only be like $14. They told me I ordered a small and I told them I ordered a personal but they weren't hearing it and still charged me for the small. Whatever, I let it go, paid for it and left. It wasn't bad tasting but for the money there was almost no cheese or sauce on it. The second time I ordered I asked for an XL bacon, onion, mushroom with extra cheese well done. It took over an hour to be delivered and when I got it, it wasn't hot, it didn't have extra cheese, there wasn't much by way of toppings and it wasn't well done. That kinda sucks especially when they charge almost $5 for delivery and they also charge a $2 service fee on top of it. That's $7 extra dollars just for a delivery on top of the $35 for a pizza. I'm not saying not to order from there. I'm just giving you my experience that I've had the two times I ordered. The checks for food and service are generic responses from Yelp. I tried unchecking them but it won't let me. I did give it the two stars because like I said, it didn't taste bad but for what you pay, which is a lot; you should be getting exactly what you asked for.

Very accommodating and pleasant. 4 of us had a few beers/ wine ...frosted glasses made it even better. Cheese sticks were crispy with a very good taste. Pepperoni pizza was tasty.

We needed a quick bite and figured pizza would be an easy choice. The restaurant was almost empty,…read more& we were seated right away. We ordered a large cheese pizza, wings, a bowl of soup, & two meat lover's slices. The wings and soup arrived within minutes, but then we waited over 30 minutes for the cheese pizza & another 15 minutes for the two slices. It made no sense, especially with how quiet the restaurant was. During that time, no one checked on us, apologized for the delay, or refilled drinks. The biggest surprise came with the bill. There was an automatic 20% gratuity added for our party of six (!). We've eaten at countless restaurants & have never been charged automatic gratuity for six people (esp with our party being 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids). We were also charged $1.50 for a side of ranch that was brought out with the wings without us requesting it, plus $3.50 each for soda water from the fountain. The pizza itself was actually quite tasty, but unfortunately the poor service , long wait and unexpected charges brought the experience down

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!

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!

Newport was definitely crowded with visitors like us from everywhere. There was an also a marathon taking place the next day, so the town seemed to be carb loading. Every restaurant was full of hungry guests. Pasta Beach was no different. We were able to eventually get two seats in the pasta bar area. I quite enjoyed watching the gentlemen cook. They didn't miss a beat, as they quickly put out dish after dish with efficiency. The waitress service was satisfactory. The woman at the pasta bar was friendly enough but didn't seem overly interested in asking us if we wanted any more of anything. Upon chatting with her she shared that it was a fairly busy month and that she felt, it was definitely nicer when only the locals attended the establishment. Our entrees were flavorful. We ordered the Spaghetti with clams in white wine sauce and the penne ala vodka. The penne was rich and creamy. However, the fried chicken cutlet we ordered as an addition to the penne was dry. The pasta and clams were also good, and had a nice pepper flavor which came through at the end of each bite. We did order the fried calamari and shrimp appetizer. It only brought three fried shrimp which were nicely fried. Unfortunately, the calamari was also overcooked and dry. We did enjoy our time in Rhode Island and will return again, but I'm not sure yet if I would return to this establishment specifically. There are plenty of local food options to try in Newport.

We had such a great meal at Pasta Beach as everything we ordered was delicious. The Pesca Burrata Salad was a beautiful combination of sweet and savory. The peaches paired so well with the arugula and creamy whipped burrata, while the pistachios added a nice crunch. The honey and balsamic dressing was so refreshing and light which brought everything together perfectly. Their fried calamari was perfectly fried. The batter was light and crispy while the calamari was tender without feeling too greasy or heavy. I especially like the tomato sauce as the flavors were well balanced without being too sour. The Burrata Pizza was another standout. The combination of pepperoni, mozzarella, and creamy burrata was amazing and the hot honey added the perfect sweet and spicy finish. The creamy burrata balanced out the kick from the hot honey so well that I think this is my new favorite pizza combination. All the pasta was al dente. The Spaghetti alla Vongole was light and the clams were very fresh. The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese was rich and hearty.And the Mezze Maniche Carbonara was definitely one of my favorites. The creamy egg yolk, pancetta, black pepper, pecorino, and Parmigiano created that rich, classic carbonara flavor without being overly heavy. Overall, Pasta Beach is a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner. We loved being able to share so many different dishes, and everything came out flavorful and well prepared. The only thing I did not like was their bread service as the bread came out cold and there was nothing special about them. Our server was friendly and attentive. We would definitely return when we are in town again in the future.
