    Gluten free fish and chips
    Rachel O.

    There's something really special about Parlor Bar & Kitchen. Walking in to the Parlor for the first time felt like walking on to the set of an early 2000's sitcom set in a neighborhood bar. The bartender (owner in disguise) was so charismatic & welcoming from the jump; the cool girl energy just radiated off of her. It was a quiet Tuesday evening, & it seemed like everyone sitting at the bar knew the owner & the owner knew them. That's the real Newport. That's the Newport I like. I was delighted to see that the menu had allergens clearly marked & that SO many things could be made gluten-free by request, including the fish & chips. Gluten-free fish & chips! Be still my heart. Parlor is officially a member of the very exclusive gluten-free fish & chips club - which includes only 3 other restaurants I've found in my travels. That's a big deal. My meal was paired excellently with a glass of Woodford & good company. As if this spot couldn't get any better, I noticed two pool tables in the back. I didn't have the chance to play a game this time, but I will certainly be back to change that. This place secured an immediate spot in my heart. Delicious, gluten-free food, wonderful feminine energy behind the bar, a true neighborhood feel, & pool tables. What more could I possibly ask for? It's my dream haunt. Thank you for having me at your bar. 6/5 stars.

    chicken sandwich
    Abbie D.

    Loved my meal here, I enjoyed the seasonal peach and tomato burrata salad with a peach mule. The mule was flavorful but not served in the typical mug and it lacked a formal garnish, for a $14 drink it should've been more sophisticated. If I returned I doubt I would order a cocktail again. The salad was divine, I would eat this all day every day, it is not part of the regular menu but is a wonderful summer addition. The chicken sandwich was fine, rather tame and mild. I would've liked to see some house made pickles or something to elevate the flavor. Overall, this was a good spot it wouldn't take much to improve. The service and decor were good as well.

    This is my new favorite restaurant in Newport.. always has amazing live music including a 16 piece brass band that plays the last Tuesday of the month.. we had great calamari, coconut curry mussels a chicken sandwich to die for and the carrots on whipped feta with arugula and walnuts was heaven.

    Super cool vibe

    What an eclectic bar offering pub food which includes a range of gluten free options! Our bartender's easygoing personality immediately made us feel welcome even though we arrived close to 10 to eat food. She had us laughing and easily engaged us in conversation. This cozy bar boasts two pool tables in the back, perfect for getting your game on! Thanks for a great experience!

    Fountain of youth

    Stopped here after a yelp event for drinks. Our bartender was awesome so fun and made great drinks!! I'll be looking for the fountain of youth on the menu :) I didn't eat but my friend got the fish and chips which were made gluten free and she enjoyed it, they have pool tables in the back. Definitely a fun spot for a drink and some pool

    My first stop during a recent visit to Newport and what an awesome warm welcome! I arrived on a Sunday and this great spot was a few steps from my Airbnb. I asked to grab a seat at the bar and enjoyed a glass of pinot grigio and their really tasty cauliflower appetizer. I was starving and and still brought home leftovers - I HIGHLY recommend giving this an order no matter what. The staff here is so welcoming and easy going, and the owner was even kind enough to give me some recommendations of other adventures to try as I bopped about town. The space itself is beautifully appointed and would be ideal for a date night or group meal of any kind. Thanks to the entire team here for an amazing Newport welcome!

    Buger and fries
    Dennise K.

    My friend and I popped in for dinner at this nice spot. She lives around the block so it offered us a nice pre and post meal stroll. It has a welcoming vibe as a local 'watering hole' with delicious food and welcoming staff. They offer daily specials and plenty of space to enjoy a bite with the family, a conversation with a friend, or a solo adventure at the bar. I want to return during colder weather to enjoy a cocktail by the fireplace, which is a little area.

    Crab cakes with roasted corn and a mango salsa

    I love this place! Certainly they have really incredible food, much better than most places I've been in Newport. They also have a really cool second bar and dance floor and stage area and lots of times there's really good local live music. Especially the last Tuesday of the month I believe they have like a 15-piece brass band it's incredible!

Queen Anne's was exactly that for us. We had about 75 guests, and were comfortable, but cozy. Here are some words that come to mind when I think of the space: chic, vintage, intentional, beautiful, versatile and lovely. Amanda, the owner, was great from the start. Patient, kind and helpful. Her experience was evident throughout our entire planning process. She worked with us to up to the very end, easing our little anxieties and assisting us with whatever we needed. The staff at Queen Anne's was amazing! We were so pleased with the above and beyond service. A room flip was needed after the ceremony, for the reception. It was done in a timely, efficient fashion, and for that, we (and our guests), were so grateful. Food was exactly what we expected- and delicious. We opted for food stations, rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Appetizer platters, salad, sliders and pizza. Everything was fantastic. No complaints from us or our guests. We had a blast! Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. Queen Anne's and Amanda have so much to do with our unforgettable experience! 15/10 recommend. P.S. Photos by Mat & Ash Photography (the best)

Amanda was always available for any questions and there on the event day to ensure it started without a hitch. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a romantic and enchanting spot in Newport.

Planning process: Our coordinator was repeatedly rude and condescending toward my mother throughout the planning process. She was also disorganized -- it took multiple rounds of corrections before she had our event details right. She also gave us incorrect measurements for pipe and drape, resulting in a $2,000 charge for a setup that couldn't be used as intended. Credit card fraud: About two months after our wedding, we noticed a fraudulent charge on the credit card we'd given the venue for our event. After investigating with our credit card company, we traced it to an email linked to this same coordinator's name, with an IP address in Newport, RI. We reported this to OceanCliff immediately. At first, they seemed genuinely engaged in getting to the bottom of it and asked us to file a police report, which we did. The Newport Police investigation confirmed the employee had stolen our credit card information and used it for personal purchases. Once the investigation concluded, OceanCliff went silent. Despite repeated requests, they never told us how our information was compromised, what changes they've made to prevent it from happening to other couples, or offered any acknowledgment of the time, stress, and violation of trust this caused during what should have been one of the happiest periods of our lives. We trusted this venue with our wedding and our financial information, and that trust was badly broken -- first by an employee, and then by a venue that stopped engaging once the legal matter was resolved. I can't in good conscience recommend OceanCliff to other couples.

For our anniversary, I was hoping for some sort of recognition -especially since they ask ahead of time -but no such luck. Originally I had reserved a table for inside, but the hostess said we got "lucky" as they had outside available and it was a beautiful night. At first, thought it was a great idea until they sat us next to the raucous outside bar at a plastic table and chairs that felt like I should've been in a bathing suit having fish and chips by a pool or wharf. Unfortunately, after sitting for 10 minutes and had time to stew about the weird ambience and the animated acoustic guitarist, I had to go and request another table inside. Luckily, the staff handled it well and quite quickly. Once seated at an appropriate table-clothed, albeit still next to a bar, the ambience improved and we were able to enjoy a nice dinner overlooking the water with excellent service. Bottom line- it wasn't the best anniversary dinner experience, but it's amazing how much the server had an impact on the night. If you're looking for an intimate, nice dinner by the water and the price range is $$$-$$$$ compared to others, definitely request inside. I'm sure the outdoor tables are fun during the day, but the restaurant should rethink how they market themselves, or change over the tables on the dock at night to match the indoor environment. (Or invest in better furniture so it feels like what you're paying for dinner is worth it.) There are plenty of casual places to eat outside in Newport, but this establishment is trying to pass off a classy, outdoor nighttime dining experience that feels like a casual, cheap sandwich place on the dock where you'd be comfortable wearing cut off shorts and t-shirts!

We had reservations and waited about 15 minutes to be seated though the host was very nice. They were going to sit us on a 6 top in the middle of the restaurant but moved us to a smaller quieter table as we didn't need such a large table. We ordered shortly after being seated. I ordered the prix fixe menu with came with salad/soup, an entree and a dessert. I also ordered off the kids menu. I ordered mocktails for my kids and a cocktail for myself that came out quickly. I'm a tequila lover so I got the naked and famous which I loved. After our drinks everything went downhill. We then waited almost an hour and a half for our food. I tried to get our servers attention multiple times to ask why the wait was so long. She never bothered to check in with us to let us know we would be waiting so long. I looked over and noticed that the 6 top who sat and ordered well after us had already received their food. When I called our server over to ask if she could at least bring out the soup or kids meal so that my kids wouldn't starve. She stated that she couldn't bring anything out until the kitchen brought everything out together. She said the kitchen was backed up and kind of shrugged me off. Again, I ordered a prix fixe so why would all the courses come out together? That makes zero sense. I pointed out that the family who ordered after us had already gotten their food. She rolled her eyes and walked away. At this point we were already waiting for 1 hour at this point. Normally this behavior would have had me walking out but we were staying at the hotel, had already waited an hour and it was Valentine's Day so anywhere else would have been busy. A few minutes later she brought out some soup for my daughter, no apologies just matter of factly like she did me a favor by bringing out our soup. The table next to us asked her for some fries as they also had a child starving to them she apologized and replied not a problem I'll bring out some fries for you. When we did get our food we were disappointed with everything besides the kids pasta. The pasta was the only thing that tasted ok. The salmon was burnt and the sweet potato puree tasted old and really had no flavor. I missed the part of bacon bits in the green beans so that's on me but the bacon with the salmon did not go together at all. The chicken sandwich was dry and lacked flavor while the fries were okay. I asked for the dessert to go because I didn't want to wait for another hour. She first brought it out on a regular dish then took it to the kitchen and had it mushed in a Togo container not separating the bread from the cream. When I did finally take the dessert to my room I did not enjoy it at all either this was hard and I would not call it bread pudding. It was literally chunks of bread with cream spread on top. The hotel itself was fantastic but our experience at the restaurant was horrible. The front desk was apologetic and accommodating when we checked out however so we will definitely come back to stay at the hotel, but will most likely avoid the restaurant.
