I love Newport, Rhode Island and have driven here 3 times since moving to Providence in mid-October. I hadn't had the greatest Rhode Island restaurant experiences -- until I had dinner here at TSK. Can I just say my meal here was one of the best I've had anywhere in a long time. One word: RAVIOLO. Everything I tried here was delicious but the raviolo was definitely the star of the meal. At first I thought it was strange because you order this appetizer and it's only one single ravioli but it is AMAZING! When you cut into it, the egg yolk inside breaks and mixes in with the most delicious brown butter sauce and the effect is a flavor orgasm in your mouth! On a side note, be sure to order the fresh bread so that you can sop up the rest of the raviolo sauce with it. And don't be offended that you have to pay extra for the bread, it's worth it. Each mini loaf is freshly baked to order. The folks at TSK also own the delicious burger spot Mission so they are able to offer the most delicious meats since they purchase whole cows for both restaurants. My dining partner and I went for the 32 ounce bone-in ribeye as our main entree. Seriously the best steak I've had in a long time. It was flavorful, juicy and perfectly cooked. We also had a side of butter beans. These were just okay - a little too salty for my taste. All in all, the food here was excellent. Service was good. Wine was delicious. You can bet I'll be back to Newport soon and when I do I'll be making another reservation for my fave Rhode Island restaurant. read more

TSK is great! They mix up the menu and everything is made from scratch. Inside is an open concept, so you see the chefs preparing the food. You get a view of the dishwashers, too. Our waitress walked us through the menu and everything was excellent! I hadn't been to TSK since they were located where Winner Winner recently was. I'm glad I did! read more

Very crowded and you really feel rushed... like a soup kitchen atmosphere...for the high prices I think it is a bit greedy of them!

The chef's bar was perfect for watching the fast pace kitchen putting out wonderful food. The service was excellent.

We made reservations at TSK for my birthday dinner last night. I was surprised that we were sat at the bar despite having a reservation but we didn't mind. We actually enjoyed the up close look into the open kitchen. I ordered the passion fruit pimms for a cocktail and was worried that it would be too sweet but it was perfect. The best drink I had had all night. We then ordered 6 appetizers as our dinner. Our favorites (in no particular order) were the foie gras with rhubarb compote, the muscle toast, the pimento head cheese , and the grilled halloumi. read more

Went there for a friends birthday dinner and it was top notch. We pre ordered steaks earlier in the day - which I thought was a bit pretentious as it isn't a "steakhouse" but I couldn't have been more wrong. The steaks were phenomenal, the atmosphere was upscale-casual, and the staff was down to earth, honest and made knowledgeable suggestions. Cool spot too - would love to dine al fresco on their patio this summer.. I will be back!! read more

We had our wedding diner during Newport Restaurant Week in Newport. The service and ambience were great, but the food was disappointing. The appetizer was tasty, but the toast part was very tough and the mushrooms were undercooked. The bread and herbed butter were fabulous. The entree was perfectly cooked scallops, but the accompanying artichokes were undercooked and tasteless. My biggest disappointment was the desert portion of the price fix menu. We all (3) ordered the chocolate desert which was very soupy chocolate pudding with a crunched up Heath Bar and a semi-toasted marshmallow in it. All of the items were hard to cut and eat. The chocolate from the dessert dribbled all over my wedding suit. While it didn't ruin my wedding day, it was very disappointing. read more

Such a special place. From the staff to the raviolo sauce, TSK is more than a meal, it's an incredible dining experience. Hats off to the entire team over at TSK. This is my can't-miss restaurant when I'm in Newport. Can't wait to be back soon. read more

Always wow! Casual but upscale. Great energy and great good. Steaks are their thing but other fresh, creative items as well. Very good service. A little pricey but never disappoints. read more

A hidden gem in Newport! I honestly thought this place would be corny and not great, but was pleasantly surprised to find the best meal I've had in Newport of recent. The menu changes frequently but everything is amazing. The Caesar salad was a real stand out. I totally would have skipped it -- glad we didn't! All the apps really shone as well. I would give it five stars but the service was pretty grim. We waited ages to be told the orange wine was sold out. And another eon for drinks or more orders. The waitress was very chatty and concerned with some tables... but we kept getting passed by. Get it together! read more

My experience was mixed. The raviolo was fantastic, loved it. The caesar is very good, it comes in an unusual form, delicious. Good stuff. We shared a "Mission Cut" steak. They price it by the pound. It wasn't well trimmed, so it had large amounts of fat (like 1/2" thick) left around the steak. The leave it on the bone and serve it sliced on a small platter. You pay for this fat and bone. The edible part of this 32oz steak was probably around 16oz. Price for the steak was $80. I won't order the steak again. Service was very good. I like the atmosphere. read more

Excellent food. The mushroom toast was a very unique app and had great taste and texture. The 35 oz rib eye was melt in your mouth delicious. Excellent service. We sat outside and it was a bit cold so they offered us blankets. The staff was attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommended. read more

Nice ambiance with lots of seating inside and outside! The outside is dimly lit with light bulb strings and has a fire place going in the middle of the patio. Very romantic and cozy. Service: it was a little slow since we had to constantly call for service... it was almost a full house on the patio and only 1 server who also seemed to have table to serve on the inside too. But other than that, she was very sweet and quick after you grab her attention. Food: we ordered the beef tartare and two cocktails. Can't remember the drinks, but mine was some sort of grapefruit and boyfriend's was of coconut. His tasted soooo good but mine was wow too strong! Tasted like straight up 95% liquor and 5% juice! The beef tartare was super delicious. The toast was crunchy and the beef was soft and tender. Whatever sauce they used was absolutely the perfect fit for this dish. Overall, highly recommend! Especially for a dinner date or girls night drinks. Only issue I had was.. it's a bit pricey for such little amount of food/drinks. read more

Continues to be one of the top restaurants in Newport. Great service and exceptional food. Best steakhouse in Newport. That other place, on Bowens Whart, has stumbled too often. The fight has been called! Go to TSK. read more

Excellent cocktails. Excellent steak. We shared a 38oz NY Strip --cooked to perfection-- did not disappoint. The tangy acidy sauce; the shallot; the watercress. Great quality all around and so thoughtfully done. The crust was ON POINT (a make or break for me). The bread was outrageously good. Warm, crispy and soft on the inside. The compound butter finishing salt YES--total sucker for details... and I loved the details of this simple bread, down to the cute wax paper. And if you think I am nuts over here going on and on about bread it's that delicious. Appetizers looked better than they tasted, they need a hint more love for me. I'm still giving them 5 stars though. The raviolo was rich, it was tasty but came out a bit cold so the inside texture was wrong. Conchiglie was ok-- needs something else it was missing a note for me. I'm also being overly critical here with hopes the chef will accept my challenge. All around good experience would suggest to friends and would go back. Side note: We didn't get it but the halibut porterhouse looked outrageously good. On looks alone, I'd say you are making a good choice. read more

The entrees were great. We had the chicken and halibut. The escargot was not very good. Too much parsley so it tastes like dirt rather than being buttery. Service was decent and nice wine list read more

One of the best restaurant in Newport!! It was great before and it is excellent now. The new space is special. The food is exceptional ! You will need to call ahead of time as they are busy. We went for a birthday dinner and everyone was strongly impressed . The appetizers were awesome. We loved the duck, fish and the steak! It was full of flavor and exquisitely delivered. Outstanding time was had by all . Also loved the use of metal straws. Good choice read more

Love that TSK has found a home. Food last night was incredible. We had the mushroom toast, venison tartare for apps. Entrees were arctic char and pork Milanese with Napa cabbage. Then lemon beignets for dessert. Very romantic. Also the food is fancy but the wait staff were wearing jeans. We highly recommend! read more

This was hands down one of the best meals I have ever had. The service was impeccable and we sat at the Chef's bar which was a really unique experience as the preparation of every dish is truly an art form. The Caesar salad was incredible and so different. So good in fact that we almost ordered 2. The menu changes often but we had the chicken which had some of the most interesting spices and was beyond delicious as well as the mussels, ravioli and pistachio chocolate taco for dessert. A must do in Newport and blew us away! read more

The classic Negroni was fantastic and the food amazing! The patio was a great place to enjoy our meal while people watching!

This place is fantastic! The food and service and phenomenal and one of the best restaurants I've found in newport. Definitely try their steak - you won't be disappointed! read more

tl;dr girlfriend and i came here for dinner and sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen. the staff were friendly and the kitchen was fun to watch. some of the dishes we ordered were excellent. we ordered the fluke appetizer, a mixed drink, the serloin flap, and the chicken entree. the fluke, and drink were excellent. the chicken was excellent but massive - you are served literally a half chicken. I would have rather paid less for a smaller portion, OR been warned by the waitstaff. I'm not one to complain about large portions but knowing how large it was would have made it easier to order. we ended up stuffed and taking food home. nevertheless, the chicken was perfectly cooked, well-seared and covered in what must have been a chorizo sauce. the steak was the weakest part of our meal. at 7oz, it was incredibly small portion considering it's a cheap cut. the larger, more expensive cuts they had on offer were $2.25/oz. by the ounce, our dish was almost double. moreover, it was pretty one dimensional, with a weak sear and a standard teriyaki sauce. with almost no veg on the side, our meal ended up being incredibly meat-heavy. without any veg sides on the menu, it will be difficult for most to get a balanced meal. overall, the meal was good, the experience was great, and the bill was monstrous. for $100/2 people, I expected a bit more. read more

Our favorite upscale fun restaurant close to our marina. Always sit at the bar - great view of the chef activities. Service during the meal is fabulous; hostess service is questionable (lost reservations or confusion if we want bar or outside, etc - so be sure to confirm!) read more

Great! Probably the best meal we had during our week in NewPort. Steaks were perfect, fun upscale atmosphere without being too formal and stuffy. read more

I've been to TSK twice since Covid started / restaurants reopened and both times the experience, the food, the staff and the environment were five star. I've eaten at TSK pre-pandemic and nothing has been sacrificed since adapting to Covid. The food is unique and each plate takes on its own flavor / personality. They also added new items to the menu since going in July and again in August. Highly recommend for a great experience and unique, tasty, food. Thank you TSK! read more

We had heard that the food here was among the best in Newport so we were excited for a lovely meal. We sat outside and ordered cocktails. We shared the baby kale salad which is enough for two for a starter. It was fine. Nothing sensational. They do not serve bread without paying for it so we did do that. The bread was very good. The butter they serve with it had zero flavor. I ordered the monk fish. It was flavorful but truthfully, I guess I just don't like monk fish. The dark sauce was tasty though. My husband had the halibut porterhouse. This was enough for at least two people. They should have stayed that on the menu. It a very large and tender serving. It was good but just not great. Overall, everything was fair to good. Nothing was outstanding or even really good, except for the bread and my cosmopolitan cocktail. We probably won't be back. read more

My friends and I tried TSK for the first time and really enjoyed it. We each had a glass of wine and started with the carrot salad, clam toast and pesto toast. Two friends went with the tuna as their entree and one picked halibut and I picked the sea bass. The tuna seemed to be the weakest dish but we all really enjoyed the food. We shared a side of shishitos. We would come back for wine and apps. read more

Really really good. All the food was excellent and imaginative. The halibut porterhouse was incredible. I would definitely go back

Get the raviolo -- it's amazing! Also the cocktail menu is great and there's something for everyone. read more

Our first dinner in Newport and probably the best. Apps were awesome, dinner was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. I would definitely return for another round the next time we are in town. read more

Great Newport place you need to visit Drinks are expertly made as is the dinners. Highly recommended.

TSK is an old favorite of ours. My wife and I did have a great meal but the experience ended up on a very sour note. We were back in town for a wedding and made sure to have dinner here. It was a Sunday evening and crowded when we arrived for our 6:30 reservation but by 7:45 when they were serving us our entrees the crowd had dwindled and there were open tables. We were sitting at the Chefs bar and finished our desert about 8:15 and had more than half a cocktail each to finish up. The waiter had left our check with out asking us if we wanted anything else, it should have been the first sign. At bout 8:20 he came back and looked to see if I have left payment, in hind sight the second sign. After he walked away I pulled out my credit card and put it on the board as we were sipping our cocktails and talking. At that point a women/waiter/manager? Rushed in and grab the check and my card saying nothing. She was back in a flash dropped the check and said there were people waiting for our spot "but no rush." Not a thank you, not a did you enjoy the meal just basically you need to get out. We had finished out deserts less than 10 minutes earlier, we had not taken extra time deciding on our orders, the pace of the meal was based on the timing of the service which we felt was acceptable. But here we sat with a half a cocktail after spending close to $300 and being rushed out. My wife starting downing her drink rushing which pissed me off that she felt the need to do that. Sadly all we will remember about this experience is that we were rushed out, VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! read more

This restaurant is worth a trip. There's an outside patio that you can request if it's nice out. It was nice out, which made the experience special. Two great appetizers were the raviolo and smoked mussel toast, along with the warm bread, which is listed as a side dish. Get the other three sides too: broccolini slathered in garlic, bok choy with an interesting peanut sauce, and shisito peppers. We split the delicious halibut porterhouse. Chocolate pot de crème was basically chocolate mousse. Tres leches cake was standard. read more

Very nice looking restaurant. The menu is very limited and when my family and I came there was many dishes that were unavailable. If you are picky, this is not the place for you. Because the main entree we initially wanted was unavailable, we got a bunch of side dishes and appetizers for dinner instead. We also got one different entree which was a halibut porterhouse, which was really good, however it was a bit dry. I strongly recommend the sweet potato side dish, which was everyones favorite. The appetizers were fairly small portions, but wasn't too expensive. Good place to try if you like different and interesting types of food, however I probably wont go back here. read more

Best steak in the world. Great cocktails too. Probably the best restaurant in Newport right now, so expect to pay for it.

We had the early order Lasagna dinner last night, and it was absolutely superb. It is a dinner for two, with lasagna, butter beans, asparagus, Caesar salad and cookies. It was warm, packed perfectly, and we were greeted very hospitably. Nothing was overlooked. A smooth operation. We will be back. Dinner was more than enough for two. read more

We first experienced TSK 3 years ago (pre-pandemic) and had a phenomenal meal. Knowing we were returning to Newport, we were excited a come back. It was NOT a disappointment! We were seated right away. You've never had a Caesar salad like theirs and again, the Mission Cuts ribeye is to die for. TSK has to be the most unrecognized and underrated restaurant in Newport. Can't wait until our next visit! read more

Unreal. I highly recommend sitting at the chefs table. Our waiter was a bit of an idiot but the food is spectacular. The raviolo is phenomenal. The tomato toast was also amazing. Cocktails are on point too. The chefs have a fine attention to detail. Our entree could have used a wee bit more salt but the fish was cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back. It was a last minute reservation for us and we don't regret it. We went to fluke the next night and it does not compare. read more

A can't miss in Newport. Ask any Newport Chef or Local and they will all agree! Perfection!

We happened upon their resturant week menu as we were in town for a wedding and everything was top notch. We didn't have a reservation and we were very lucky to grab two seats at the bar. Watching the kitchen work was a ton of fun and the entire staff took so much care into what they were preparing. Definitely recommend! read more
