I use to love visiting surf club as a local. I visited here for the first time in a few years and the food is still amazing. However, the service was not good. It felt like as a customer we were a bothering them asking for simple things. We had to grab their attention just to order. On the bright side we met a nice couple with a cute dog! Make sure to order the twisty bread for an appetizer, it's the best.
We had a reservation at 8:30 on a Saturday night, we arrived 50min early to see if we could be seated earlier, which they were able to do. I had no clue there was a downstairs, it was so cool down there! Huge bar, darker, you can see into the kitchen, a great lay-out. Drinks were great, I got the pumpkin espresso martini. Food was even better. I split the Cali Sandwich and Steak Tacos with a friend and both were delicious!! Great place to come with a big group of people to enjoy great food.
My husband and I went here on a Saturday night at 8 o'clock. It has a lively and fun atmosphere. We were seated at a high top table near the bar. After waiting for over 15 minutes for someone to come, take our drink order my husband finally walked over to a few staff members and asked if anyone was servicing our table. It seems as though two different staff members each thought the other one was servicing our table, and they apologized for the oversight. Shortly after they took our drink order, a manager came over to the table with a complementary app and offered a round of drinks on the house. We definitely didn't expect this, but it was a very nice gesture. The appetizer she brought over was a twisty bread and it's something we never would've normally ordered, but it was fantastic. I had a spicy watermelon margarita and it was so good! I definitely recommend trying it. For my meal, I ordered the tuna poke bowl, which is very good. All in all I would say it was a good night. The drinks were good, the food was good. It was a lively and fun atmosphere and they were able to turn the service around. We'll likely return again.
This is such a vibe for a meal in Newport! With seating and bar right outside at the intersection of shops and the water, the surf club is definitely a good stop. My friend and I split the prosciutto and arugula pizza which was delicious! Their aperol spritz was also so refreshing too! The service was quick and our waiter was friendly as well. Such a good place to hang out with family or friends.
This corner spot is great for a hot day if you choose to sit inside. There is a bar option as well. I ordered the blackened shrimp bowl and it was amazing. Very flavorful. I also tried a burger which also was flavorful and very thick. Very juicy though. The service was average. Recommend going at a time that is less busy because it's very quiet and great without a ton of people!
Great service! We came during the day to the outside part of surf club. We had a great pizza and I would definitely recommend the Aperol spritz on the menu. Probably the best I've ever had. I don't think it's priced too poorly given it actually tasted great and the location of the restaurant.
One of the most underrated places in Newport; it's one of our favorites! Really fun and inviting tiki hut vibe outside- you can sit at the low/high tops or at the bar (or inside the restaurant, but totally different atmosphere). Plenty of shade outside, whether it's at the bar or a table. We always sit at the bar, so service is always prompt and available. Mixed drinks here are delicious, and they also offer a solid variety of seltzers and beer. The food at Surf Club is amazing!!! I was not a fan of the "breakfast/brunch" menu, but the lunch/dinner menu is great!! We've tried the meatballs, twisty bread, prosciutto and arugula pizza, chicken bacon ranch pizza, and pizza blanco (white pizza). The chicken bacon ranch pizza is the best of the pizzas, and the twisty bread with the tomato fondue is my absolute favorite. (Tip: if you don't get the twisty bread, ask for a side of the tomato fondue and use it to dip your pizza crust in it.) Meatballs are pretty solid as well. We will obviously be back each and every time we visit Newport!! Oh AND, they're dog-friendly (they even have a dog menu)!
Loved the casual vibe of this place. Great outdoor dining experience with chill music, good service, and good drinks. The menu is fairly large, with a nice mix of seafood and non seafood options. I highly recommend the tequila braised pork!
Great dinner spot in Newport. Easy to get to and near a lot of different shops. Food was great, they have many different option and drinks were amazing (could definitely taste the alcohol). Service was fast and staff was great even for a busy busy night! Must go to if ever in Newport.
Ambiance is cool, not too loud to eat and talk. Younger crowd. DJ after 10pm or so. Pool table in back. Pretty clean bathrooms. Some of the food last time we went was really salty to the point you almost couldn't eat it, like the nachos had sea salt added on top of them. But, nice staff, decent service and cool place for late night or date night in downtown Westerly!
We had a great dinner here last night. Place is underground in the basement. To drink i had the pear & smoke. If you like mezcal this is a great drink. Has a little sweetness in it. To eat we shared the chips and guac, smashed meatball pizza and arugula & prosciutto pizza. The pizzas had a great crust. Was a little delay in getting the pizzas but they were busy. Waitress was super friendly. They had a nice kids menu as well. Overall pretty popular spot with good food and cocktails! Highly recommend. read more

We sat at the bar and honestly it might be one of the best bar vibes I have ever been around. It is not quite in the heart of everything but that is what makes it such a sleeper pick. The drinks are crushable. read more

If you're searching for a weekend brunch, Surf Club has it! Along with some brunchish mixed beverages, the brunch menu is small but unique. If you'd rather have a lunch/ dinner meal, the menu has a variety and you're sure to find something that meets your palate's expectations. I had a chopped salad with salmon and it had just the right amount of balsamic vinegarette on it. Not noted on the main menu (and no separate menu given either), there are kid's options. Ours ordered the Mac n cheese and the other chicken tenders with fries. Both enjoyed their meals- especially the mac n cheese!! Choosing to order brunch, my husband had the Benedict, and it was "tasty" as he put it. Just like the menu, the restaurant itself is unique and has total New England vibes (rightfully so)! You enter into a small door on the side of the building and the restaurant is actually downstairs. The architecture and decor are super fitting and give the restaurant a great ambiance. The dim lighting is the icing on the cake. Service was good and she was able to answer our questions. We will be back! read more

Fresh cocktails with real ingredients. Great outdoor area and atmosphere. Super fast service! read more
Dim nice restaurant that was very clean and had good staff. Ordered the Surf Club Burger which was a fish fillet burger that came with a side of fries. The burger was very light, the fish patty was the lightest burger I've ever had. The portion sizing wasn't small, it was just the fish itself was either thinner that I thought or just an extremely light fish? Was still pretty hungry afterwards, tasted good though. Would definitely suggest coming here. Came in the slow season, hopefully this place is bustling in the summer! read more
I've been here twice and both times the food and drinks were excellent. Their pizza is fantastic (bring back the fig pizza!) and the twisty bread is yummy as well. Their spicy watermelon margarita is literally the drink of my dreams. Ambiance is great and the service is good. Maybe a bit pricey .... But it's Newport so it's expected. read more
Came here on a monday with my friend! I got the pizza blanco and they got the crispy fried fish sandwich. I am not the biggest fan of pizza, but all the reviews talked about how great the pizza was here so I decided to try it. I loved it a lot! The pizza blanco had a slight kick from the crushed red pepper, which I really enjoyed. My friend enjoyed their fish sandwich and it came with fries. Also, the bathroom was clean so that was definitely a plus. read more

We were spending a weekend in Newport and after seeing this place on couple occasions we decided to stop here to have our last outdoor meal on our getaway. I love the location and it's a perfect place to people watch. I went with prosciutto and honey pizza and my husband had the fish tacos. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were more than plenty. I really enjoyed our lunch here. My only negative is that the service is not the best. All the employees seem new or just uninterested in doing their work. read more
