Filet mignon with bearnaise butter
Jason B.

My favorite dining experience in Newport. Amazing steaks (tried filet and hangar) and sides (fingerling mashed potatoes and glazed carrots special). The tomato and burrata special appetizer was one of the few times in my life that I loved the taste of a tomato. Notes: the sides are pretty large...we had 2 for 2 people and had leftovers. The bearnaise butter is literally butter with bearnaise flavor. I'd have preferred a traditional bearnaise sauce but this was still pretty good.

This was our first time at TSK and WOW! What a great spot! Unlike many Newport dining stops, TSK is casual and comfortable. Their menu is short but done so well. Their staff was attentive and friendly, even chatting back to us with questions about how they were cooking the steak (we opted for the bar seat dining option). Would highly recommend for a cozy steak meal! We can't wait to come back!

Came here with a reservation in a Thursday night and this place does not disappoint! we loved having a seat at the bar and watching the open kitchen work. the food was delicious and service was excellent and super fast. we got the mission cut steak (31 ounces) with the bonito brown butter and it was so unique and tasted amazing. the apps were good - we definitely liked the bone marrow and escargot! our one piece of advice would be to make an earlier reservation because they only have a set quantity of the mission cut steak and set sizes, we originally wanted a smaller amount but 31 ounces was the smallest steak they had left. would definitely recommend this place to everyone visiting newport!

Their Sparking Water was great and added some lemon

YOU NEED RESERVATIONS TO COME HERE! Do NOT GET UPSET AND LEAVE BAD REVIEWS BC THEY TURN YOU AWAY OR OFFER YOU UNFAVORABLE SEATING/TIMES. We booked weeks out as we are coming from Long Island AND NEVER DISAPPOINTED! Please use common sense and NOT complain noise as well since it's an OPEN KITCHEN AND VERY BUSY RESTAURANT. People are going to talk and have a good time...deal with it! Last time we got the hanger steak this time we got the strip! My wife couldn't finish her meal and I struggled to finish it for her As usual we padded our bill with $15 plus delish cock tails! Our server was amazing! When you order steak you get one choice of dip for the steak! It is actually enough for two people so each person should pick a different one bc sharing is caring! We got the Bearnice Butter and black garlic BBQ. We did the black garlic BBQ in the past so we knew it was good. Bearnice sauce was amazing and we both dipped into that with every bite. We didn't even touch the Black Garlic BBQ We got their mash potatoes which is to die for as well as their broccolini with tahini, almond and bacon. You couldn't even taste the tahini which is good bc my wife doesn't do spicy! WE WILL BE BACK!

Glazed carrots... delicious
Tim M.

Newport has many great restaurants, but this is the best food in town by far. It is pricey, but well worth every penny. Have been here a couple of times. Sat on the patio outdoors the first time and dined indoors on return visits. Bread appetizer is delicious and cocktails are great too. Steaks are cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Have had filet mignon as well as NY strip. Definitely get the brown butter Benito sauce. It is probably the best sauce I have ever tasted. For sides I have had potato latkes, roasted shishitos, and glazed carrots. All were top notch. Great service and vibe here as well. Can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place.

Food was tasty, staff was very accommodating to my food allergies and everyone was very friendly. You could tell that all their produce and meats are very fresh. Small restaurant with a unique ambience. Parking is difficult so make sure to arrive early to find parking. The restaurant also gets busy fast so a reservation is recommended

1/2 wedge salad
Corinne Z.

Bit shocked by the noise level when we first entered Wednesday night but decided to stay since they had such great reviews on Yelp. Glad we did as every course was a hit...plus wine selection was above average quality. Five stars for service and food. Maybe someday down the line something can be done to lower the noise level....had to yell thru dinner to my husband to be heard. Next time going in warmer weather and sitting outside may help. Loud enough to remove a star...

Second time coming here. The food was just as good as it was last time, and the service was even better. I love that they added a few new things to the menu. Looking forward to our next trip here. The Caesar salad was both creative and tasty!

SPECTACULAR! 4th year in a row here during the conference we go to for our continued medical…read moreeducation credits. I think this place should have 5 star rating! Every time we come here the service is excellent and the food is amazing. This is what we come for right? Outstanding food and service! This year was no different than the other years and I love how the menu continues to evolve and change and everything that comes to life from the menu to the table is well thought out and bursting with harmonious blends of flavor. The presentation is gorgeous too! Plating is also important and they nail it! Okay let's gooooo! Come join our dining experience! We tried a bit of everything! We loved every bit of it. I'll mention my faves but that doesn't take away how hard it was to choose a fave! Everything was DELICIOUS ! Raw bar: Jamestown oysters . We had 10. We can't get enough east coast oysters. We live in the west side and I cannot say enough how much better oysters are on east coast! Slurp ! Mmm! Snacks: 1. Shartner's Farm Carrots: pea green pesto, pine nut, n'duja . If you're a meat, potato and pasta person and try to avoid your veggies, don't do that here. GET IT! It's such a great melody of textures and flavors that pair well. It doesn't feel like you are eating carrots and regardless it's a very dressed up bougie delicious carrot plate ! Mmmm . One of my faves out of the snacks. 2. Narragansett Creamery Burrata: green strawberry, speck, basil. Creamy, vibrant and just delicious Pasta: only had room in our tummies for 1 but every year we try different pastas and never disappoints. This year no exception. Maltagliati- hopkins southdowns lamb sugo, swiss chard, harissa, umbrian chickpea. Excellent! Pasta was perfect texture and consistency!! Little touch of spice from harissa which I loved (not overpowering). The Swiss chard was cooked to a crispy texture which I loved. I was a bit nervous about the lamb because it really can vary from place to place. However, I should have known better being from here they cooked/braised it to perfection: melt in your mouth type of soft and no weird or gamey taste. Definitely delicious pasta I recommend. Plates: 1. Duck Leg Confit- japanese turnip, spigariello kale, huckleberry conserva, duck jus. Personally my faves of the two plates but both delicious. The crispy skin from the duck and tender flavorful duck meat was just to die for. Loooooved. Plus the turnips and the amazing huckleberry conserva! Thinking about it makes my mouth water. So so good. 2. Beef Short Rib-swiss chard erbazzone, sunchoke, hazelnut. Loved it. Tasty as expected. Great flavor and tender. Dessert: 1. Olive Oil Cake- strawberry, rosé, lime curd, basil gelato. Wow! Oh wow! I'm so happy this time around they have some cake options. I love olive oil cake and now to pair with a basil gelato sounds insane right? Holy cow! Soooo good! Not what I was expecting. Strawberry, rose, lime and basil gelato flavor all work well together in this dessert. My fave dessert of the night! TRY IT! 2. Cookies N' cream: narragansett creamery ricotta, chocolate biscotti- yummy! Tasted like an elevated cookies and cream ! We loved our experience! Hopefully when you visit here, you can enjoy it as much as we do year after year. I absolutely love this place. Food is beyond excellent and is a place you have to stop by and visit while in Newport.

I tried the Cacio de pepe fried potatoes and they were so good. Beautifully fried and the potatoes texture were light and pleasantly dried. For my main course I had the tonnorelli pasta with a green garlic sauce which is my favorite. Only available during early spring when the garlic is young and green. The flavor is mild not too garlicky with an herbal earthy flavor. One of the best pasta dishes I've had. Dessert was olive oil cake with a minty flavored gelato. Everything is made in house. Service is great, everyone is so welcoming and the vibe so calming . Can't say enough about this place.

While waiting for our table, we grabbed drinks from the bar down by the water and took in the beautiful scenery. Our seating was delayed due to another party overstaying their table, but the hostesses kept us informed and even offered a complimentary champagne toast to make up for the wait--such a nice touch. We ordered a wide variety of dishes: crudité to start, followed by the lobster roll (both hot and cold), fish tacos, burrata LT, steak, and pasta. We loved every single bite. Multiple people in our group said the burrata LT was one of the best sandwiches they've ever had.The only miss was the lobster bisque special--it wasn't cream-based as we expected, so it wasn't to our taste. We finished with the basque cheesecake and keylime pie, both amazing. That said, this place is an absolute can't-miss when in Newport. We're so glad we chose to stay for a full meal instead of just stopping by for drinks.

I forgot how nicely appointed the interior is. It has a fabulous bar area that was full. The hostess was great. She gave us a nice table with an excellent view. Our server came over and introduced herself. We ordered a couple of reserve cocktails, including a special Manhattan and a Last Word. The cocktails were fantastic. We began with crab cakes and a wedge salad. We split both so we could try each appetizer. I have to say that these crab cakes were amongst the best I have ever had. The Wedge salad was also very nicely prepared and very flavorful. The dinner rolls were also excellent. Many places forget this entirely these days. We ordered our entrees next. My wife ordered the filet medium rare, and I ordered the 2-pound baked stuffed lobster. We ordered a very nice half-bottle of Cabernet as well. The entrees were served, and my wife cut into the steak. It was way overcooked. The middle was medium well, and the ends were well done. We sent it back. These things happen, and we took it in stride. The problem that developed was time. After 10 minutes, we were told by our server that the new steak would be right out. Well, 5 minutes later, we heard the same thing from Matthew (the manager?). My entrée was getting cold, and I was getting a bit aggravated. I went to the bathroom. When I got back to the table, my wife had her new filet. She said that Matthew apologized profusely and told her that both entrees would be taken off the bill. Her steak was perfectly prepared, and although my entree was a little cold, it was still excellent. I told Matthew that there was no need to remove my entree, but he insisted. As I said, these things happen. When they do, how the restaurant handles it determines how the customer's experience ends. Matthew went out of his way to make up for this mistake. We will return due to his actions. As I said, the cocktails and food were excellent. We want to sit at the bar as we are bar people. Try it out. You won't be sorry.

I specifically called and asked if the restaurant could accommodate a special dessert plate with "Will You Marry Me" written on it, and the staff member assured me it would not be a problem. Unfortunately, when the moment came, nothing was done. I went to the front afterward to ask why the request was never fulfilled, and the manager simply told me, "We don't do that." It was upsetting and embarrassing, especially after being promised otherwise. A proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and the lack of communication completely ruined what I had planned. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. My fish and chips were decent, but the fries were overly salty. My fiancée's Caesar salad was very dry, and we had to ask for additional dressing. The anchovies were also slimy, which completely turned her off from the dish. Overall, the experience was disappointing from both a service and dining perspective. Sadly, I would give this restaurant 1 star.

Disclaimer - we came just for drinks so I cannot comment on the food…read more We were excited to check out the Vanderbilt during Christmas time and loved the opportunity to grab a drink here. Once we arrived we were abruptly stopped by the hostess who would not let us enter the bar because it was "at capacity". Apparently they do not allow for standing room at their bar (weird but ok!) and we were then rudely told that it would "be a while" from the hostess who seemed to be more stressed than the President of the US. After telling her we would wait a few and being told "it will be more than a few", we were then seated (we likely waited about 10-15 minutes). Upon being seated, there were multiple 2-some tables in the bar available that (if we had been asked) we would have shared we only had time for 1 drink before dinner elsewhere. Once seated, we ordered our drinks. One Yuzu Gin drink that was good, it smelled delicious (I'm a non Gin drinker so no comment on the flavor) and the other being an extremely sub par espresso martini. To be honest, I've had better ones from dive bars that I think are more likely to spit in my drink than a boujee bar serving $22 martinis.

So I'd say that's quite the endorsement. I got the vegetable platter, but hadn't anticipated how much black pepper much of it would contain...of which I'm not a fan. As a result, I barely touched some of the more visually peppered vegetable dishes. On the upside, even with sharing the dish with my dining companion, the portions were generous and there was plenty to go around. I was quite full with the 2 1/2 selections that I did consume: carrots, mushrooms and 1/2 the beets (which had more pepper), leaving the more highly peppered asparagus and squash untouched. Select your side dishes accordingly. In the end, I'm glad we came....but wish I'd ordered seafood, with a side of carrots or mushrooms.
