    Focaccia of the day
    Holly K.

    Wow! What an awesome addition to Wickford Village. My husband and I went for an early dinner on a weeknight. When we first arrived there was a small crowd at the bar and we sat in the dining room. By the time we left, every seat was taken! They have a small menu that they are constantly switching up with what is in season with the exception of a few menu staples like the smash bruger. The interior has a Scandinavian/farm house influence and is really beautifully done. You get a focaccia of the day, our's was rosemary and grape. Super intersting and tasty. We also tried the zuchinni bread and while delicious to me I would have been happy just sticking with the focaccia. We also got the braised lamb which was very good and the halibut. The fish was excellent it was perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and had a lovely fresh veggie salad to accompany it. We were too full to go for dessert or a dessert espresso martini. But will have to give both a try in the future. As the weather starts to warm up they do also have some patio tables outside.

    This is such a gem in Wickford. From the newspaper style menu - made from a letterpress? The restaurant is named after those, so I wouldn't be surprised - to the absolutely DELICIOUS food and drinks, my husband and I were immediately won over. The space is small and intimate. They do have a great patio when the weather warms up, which will provide more seating. There's a bar and a coffee bar. Their espresso martinis are made with fresh pressed espresso to order, and overall their cocktail menu seems like it would fit in Manhattan. I was pleasantly surprised to see nonalcoholic options as well (my husband doesn't drink and I'm currently pregnant). The food is so so good. We got a tomato bisque, which I loved because it tasted fresh and wasn't too sweet; zucchini bread with ricotta that was as picture worthy as it was delightful; mushroom risotto, and spatzle. The spatzle (a kind of pasta) had guanciale, which we learned is like crispy pork belly. It was a 10/10 for my husband. I had to take half of my risotto home because I got so full, but it was just as delicious the next day. Our server was very kind, and another person named Sheryl (I think - it was a couple of weeks ago and I have brain fog) was a delight to talk to! You can tell the staff enjoys working there. Highly recommend!

    Maple sea salt latte
    Olivia B.

    Came here with my mom for a rainy day lunch and WOW. Thankfully we ordered with our head and not our stomach, because we were perfectly full. We shared the Caesar and meatballs and each got a hot espresso drink. The styling and thoughtfulness put into this space is absolutely breath taking. The attention to detail is astounding, we were commenting on everything from the light fixtures to the water pitchers! Nancy, our server, was so attentive and personable! The maple sea salt latte I got was sooo good and silky smooth, perfect balance of sweet and salty. I will 1000% be back, have to try the dinner menu!

    Goat cheese and fig jam smashed burger
    Ken C.

    Very pleasant, very relaxing restaurant/bar in Wickford and a nice higher-end dining option of which there are too few. Attractive clean interior and there's a patio area by the water which will be a popular spot come summer season. We started with their Oysters Rockefeller (delicious and decadent with a very good bechamel and garlicky breadcrumbs); the Oysters Loaded (delicately flavored, with a crème fraiche and caviar topping); and an eggplant campanata (which was easily the best of the apps! Great grilled polenta bed and wonderfully tasty roasted eggplant and other vegetables). (Our server told us the chefs were formerly with Matunuck Oyster Bar which explains the excellence of these dishes.). I had the duck cassoulet which had a good crispy skin and lean meat; the braised white beans were delicious. My daughters each had the goat cheese and fig jam hamburger which they thought was quite good. My wife had a tomato soup and Caesar salad which she thought was good but not great. For dessert there was only one choice: homemade cookies with ice cream. While good and able to satisfy the sweet tooth I was hoping for other options. Service was warm and considerate.

    If I could give these 10 stars I would! We stopped in on a Sunday morning after a walk around wickford and these were awesome! Would absolutely come again to have breakfast and coffee on the patio. The staff was super great as well. Have already been here for dinner before and I think they have something good going here. Please go check it out if you haven't yet!

    Awesome Bloody Mary with Bacon! WOW

    We stopped in for a drink. New place. Nice atmosphere. Very clean. Drinks are awesome. Nice little place. Very simple menu!

    Smoked Salmon Tartine
    David R.

    I've been wanting to try this place out so stopped in for lunch as I was in Wickford. The brunch menu is a bit limited but what I had was bursting with flavor! I had the Bloody Mary and smoked salmon tartine. Very very good!

    Honeycomb ricotta toast, side of scrambled eggs, bacon egg sandwich
    Mary C.

    The food was great, I can't knock that. The service was good, beautiful location, tranquil ambiance on a nice day outside. Docking 2 stars only because of the small portion size. I was very disappointed in how small the size of the toast was, no exaggeration it was as big as my (small) fist. For $14 it felt skimpy

    Charcuterie (3 meats & 3 cheese from Wickford cheese& sundry)
    Yawei B.

    This is a very cute restaurant. I love the look of their coffee bar. Service was good, and everyone was friendly. We tried quite few things tonight as this was our first visit. I love their Zucchini bread with herbed whipped ricotta. Charcuterie was nice with good varieties of dry meat and cheese. I ordered duck breast for my entree. Duck breast itself was good, but I wish it was on an entree plate instead of small plate. Potato au gratin was missing on this plate. After I asked the server, she brought some duck fat potatoes for me. I wish I would know they don't have potato au gratin before they brought the plate and before I asked for it. Besides this, everything was good. Red cabbage for duck breast was really good too. This is a restaurant I will recommend people to try.

    New spot in Wickford, just in time to enjoy the Holiday atmosphere and spirit that this little town dresses into each Christmas season. There is also a Brunch service here most days of the week, but we came for Dinner. The special Fish of the Day on our visit was Fluke. This flounder was sautéed and finished with brown butter, and served with a side of green peas and cucumber flowers. The fluke was very nice, lightly crumbed, if slightly over done. Very nice dish. The peas were sweet, very sweet peas, and I think I tasted a flavor of maple. It would not surprise me to learn that maple syrup had been incorporated in the preparation, it wasn't needed, the peas were sweet on their own. We also had the Steak of the Day, a rib-eye steak, broiled and served with a compound butter. It was a very tasty steak, again slightly over, but still a beautiful tender juicy cut of beef. The disc of herb butter was probably a little too cold, and did not melt into the sauce that was likely intended. The steak did not suffer for it, plenty of lovely steak drippings on our plate to enjoy. The wine list also deserves a mention. 4 pages of carefully chosen wines, and more from small wineries than is typical in restaurant menus these days. Kudos, and we were very happy to find a nice bottle of grower Champagne at a very reasonable cost. The staff was great, especially for a newly opened spot. Not a single step out of place. A - we'll be back.

The smoked pork noodles was heavy and had a high level of spice in part of the dish, would recommend to mix it well to evenly distribute.

We got to dine outdoors but in a covered setting. The menu had my favorite foods, all food was impeccable, and I was there celebrating my 20th anniversary with my husband. Our trip was all about our anniversary, and we celebrated every day and night doing our favorite things... sightseeing, relaxing and eating fabulous food. It started with some great bread service. We then ordered two appetizers... stuffed artichokes and crispy calamari. The grilled artichokes were stuffed with spinach and pecorino romano cheese and drenched in a green goddess sauce. It was very tasty. The calamari came with 3 different peppers tossed throughout. The calamari had a thicker batter than we typically get, but it still tasted quite good, maybe with a zip of spiciness added, too. I think we just prefer a lighter, more tempura-like batter, but we still kept eating it. As for our entree, we actually split one order of the rack of lamb. Each rack was 8 oz., maybe more. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and we had more than enough meat for each of us to eat. We ordered a Bearnaise sauce to go with it. Ironically, as much as I love a good Bearnaise, I ended up eating the lamb without it because it was prepared so well on its own. We also ordered a trio of sides... their mashed potatoes, which were so creamy and buttery (my mouth is watering now just thinking about them), as well as mushrooms and asparagus, both of which were so well seasoned. This was a meal fit for a king and queen, to be sure... and certainly, for an anniversary celebration. Last but not least, no celebratory meal can end without dessert, so we ordered their chocolate mousse cake. It looked gorgeous as we saw other tables ordering it, so that was enough for us to want it. It definitely was as incredible as it looked. A perfect ending to a magnificent meal. Such a great way to close out the last evening in Newport and first stop on our 12-day anniversary road trip. I so wish we lived closer, and if I have anything to say about it, someday we'll return, but in the meantime, thanks for the great memories.

    Went here with my wife for a date night and overall it was a great experience -- but be prepared to…read morepay a premium for it. Here's the breakdown. Ambiance: 5/5 This is what carries the place. An elite spot in Newport, Rhode Island with fantastic vibes. The location and atmosphere are just exceptional. Five out of five, no question. Service: 2/5 Not what you'd expect at this price point. Drinks took a while, and we never got bread while other tables did. The waiter wasn't rude, but at a premium steakhouse, I expect premium service. Simple as that. Food: 3/5 My wife and I ordered the New York strip, two lobster tails, lobster bisque, and a side of asparagus. The lobster bisque was fantastic -- loaded with lobster, incredibly tasty. My wife called it a top five lobster bisque she's ever had. Only knock was it wasn't piping hot when it arrived. The lobster tails were the star of the show. Truly excellent -- warm lobster butter, cooked perfectly. But I'll be honest, you're in the lobster capital of the world. I expect that. Other restaurants in Newport probably deliver the same. The New York strip was disappointing. I ordered medium rare and it came out closer to medium well. For a $55 steak at a place known for their steaks, that is simply not acceptable. The cut itself wasn't impressive either. I've been to great steakhouses around the world and this does not belong in that conversation. Overall: 3/5 Come here for the vibes -- it's a genuinely great date night spot in one of the most beautiful settings in New England. The food is good but expensive, and the service needs work. What gets them through is their location and atmosphere, and they know tourists will come and pay the premium regardless. If you're expecting an elite steakhouse experience, look elsewhere. If you're expecting a beautiful night out in Newport, you'll leave happy.
