I was blown away by this place!! We had the rolls, Caesar salad, simple salad, filet, and broccolini. Everything was incredible. Such a good vibe sitting at the chefs counter. The service was excellent too. We have had so much great food in Newport but this was exceptional. read more

We had bar seats and enjoyed watching the kitchen in action. We could appreciate the attention each dish was given. My husband and I loved our drinks and small plates. Even the rolls were divine, amazingly fluffy and perfect for soaking up sauce. We went for his birthday and might have to go back for mine! read more

Lovely restaurant in Newport. I started out with a Manhattan cocktail, which was served up. It was your typical manhattan. For dinner, I split the 37 oz. ribeye with my mom. The meat was cooked medium rare as requested, and had just the right amount of fat to give it a nice flavor. My wife ordered the halibut porterhouse, which I had several bites of. I have never seen such a thick cut of halibut before. It's a very filling dish (we weren't able to finish it), but very good. Others at the table ordered the lobster, which was a full lobster for only $36. Maybe this is not atypical for the area, but being from Dallas/Kansas I was very surprised how cheap it was. The ambiance was fun and upbeat. We had a 6PM reservation on a Friday night and the bar area was packed the entire time. Overall I thought this was a great spot and would recommend to anyone. read more

Cream of the Newport crop. To me, Newport has always kinda sucked to me for food, being full of coastal preppy Newport people who seem content to overspend their loot eating the same old same old stuff like a 19th century prisoner ordering his Death Row meal.... and now that I'm thinking about prisoners, you can tell our current Agent Orange POTUS Trump is definitely guilty, b/c he orders steak like a savage: well done with ketchup (Seriously, VOTE in these midterms people! Give reasonable people and good steak a chance!!!) Anyhoo, tsk and the fine folks that skillfully create this inventive food is an exception to my typical blah Newport eating experiences. I looooooved the old tsk, was sad when it closed, was happy to hear when Winner Winner kept the fried chicken goodness alive, and am so happy that tsk is back in business in a more casual space with an adult beverage list that even the Newport bougee wine label whores can overindulge in and give these hard working cooks decent enough margin to afford the absurd costs of rent in fancy real estate so they can keep their under-appreciated lovely food going. Newport really needed a restaurant at the caliber of tsk, and I really hope for the health of their own taste buds they come to their senses and give the well deserving folks a substantial cut of their caloric budget. In short, just eat the fine fuckin food already. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at TSK. You will need to make a reservation to get a spot well in advance. Get there early if you want to enjoy the rib eye in smaller ounce quantities, it is WELL worth it! The raviolo is also spectacular. read more

Very fun, and innovative menu. Food taste great. My only complaint is it's kinda hard by looking at the outside signage to figure out the location. read more

Fan-freaking-tastic! My partner and I had made plans to try out Revolving Door which is now closed, but when we saw the Facebook/menu for TSK we knew we had to try it out anyway. We expected a lot of kinks in service and dining during this transitional time and are pleased to report that the transition appears to be going seamlessly. TBH I am not really sure what all we ordered, but everything was fantastic. The menu had so many other delicious-sounding items that we had a really hard time not over-ordering. Everything was fresh and delicious and well-prepared with flavors in total balance. We really enjoyed the open kitchen where we could see the action and partner-in-crime had an excellent cocktail. We can't wait to come back! read more

One of the best dinners we have had in Newport, and we have had several. Nice atmosphere. And the food was very delicious. Artfully presented as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Surprisingly good, local and innovative cuisine. We sat at the bar watching the chef's, and the show and the food was exceptional. Not a bargain evening, but what you get is worth it. Nice vibe too, although the greeter seemed mad at the world. Our server/bartender made up for that with friendly, expert, attentive service. Highly recommended. read more

TSK is open again, and its pretty fantastic. They've taken over a spot a little closer on Thames, the former Revolving Door, and are back to doing great things. There's a small bar in the window, and a longer one right in front of the action, open kitchen dining. At first glance, the food looks to be a collection of more refined and crafted dishes, less continental comfort. Gone, at least at the open, are the Chicken & Waffles, Burgers, and Poutine, back are the Simple Greens, Duck (heart) Pastrami, and Oysters. Here's hoping that the Cassoulet makes a return appearance, it really was one of the finest I have ever encountered. We started this meal with an entrée. There is a great selection of starter courses, Crudo, Marrow, spreads and toasts, but a shared plate of pasta struck me in the moment. The Agnolotti did not disappoint. The fresh sheets of pasta surround a core of Ricotta and wilted leaves of Spinach, supple with a firm bite, and accented nicely with a shave of aged Italian cheese and seasoned butttered broth. Entrée number two we ordered a double, two orders of steak please, in this case a sliced section of Sirloin Flap. Reverse sear, as even as it gets on this super tender cut, warm and luscious tender inside. The beef served with a crust of chopped nuts, grilled and pickled artichoke hearts, and round circles of sauce of peanut butter and soy. Deconstructed satay if you will, elevated no doubt. Kudos as well for a wine list with care. Great, not just good, selections by the glass, and a bottle list that fits the breadth of a world of wine on just one page. Easy A. read more

We sat at the chef's bar (watch them work!) and had an absolutely delicious meal with creative takes on everything, including the drinks (special call-out to the tall, handsome bartender who served us agave negronis. I promise, his good looks did not influence this review one bit.) First the Caesar salad. Exceptional if odd looking, chopped and mold-formed. A touch of anchovy and a touch of parm and a touch of something else. We finished that off and wanted more. Next, the smoked pork. Again, not what we were expecting. A delightful sweet, smoky, meaty, countered by the cilantro salsa. And finally the seared tuna, which somehow melts in your mouth, with hints of ocean and yuzu. Ok, I'd never heard of yuzu either, it's a Japanese citrus that's all the rage in NYC. Had to have some sangria with all that, just to see the bartender again. read more

Came here for my anniversary after hearing good reviews around town of this place. I knew the meal would be pricey due to downtown newport and and what not. The food was good. I ordered a Caesar salad, ravioli, and steak. However, the portion size was sadly small. I was expecting at least normal portion sizes you would expect around newport/elsewhere. What arrived was far from it. The Caesar salad and ravioli was laughable if you considered sharing them. The drinks were good but same thing with regard to portion. They give you a skinny glass and load it up with ice and charge you $15 per cocktail. The steak was good but I'd rather choose 22 bowens all day long. Bigger portions, same prices, better food. As a newport local I will not be back. read more

Very good. Some dishes were excellent - halibut specifically. Wish we had done the steaks. Looked good. Great friendly service. Sat at bar with wife and the team was very charming. Recommend. read more

A fabulous meal. The chicken was amazing and the salads were delicious. Went back the next night and ate the exact meal again and it was even better. Loved it! read more

This is a very good restaurant and I highly recommend that you give it a try. Our waitress told us that this used to be part of the neighboring restaurant Bouchard and they had a rotating chef concept that didn't work out very well. So if you see the moniker "rotating door" don't be confused like I was. Instead of rotating chefs they have a ever changing menu, so what we ordered may not be here when you come. The menu contained five main dishes three were seafood. For appetizers we had the warm bread (similar to a brioche) with a wonderful seasoned butter and the tomato salad (bacon bits, cucumber, figs and an awesome soft cheese); fresh, seasonal & very tasty. After this we were really looking forward to the main course. I had the striped bass and my wife had the short ribs (see photos) and we ordered the roasted potatoes as a side. The fish had a caramelized onion sauce with cucumber as fennel and the meat was served with a spicy pepper jelly. The fingerling side had a lemon cream aoli at the bottom of the dish that was amazing. A glass of Chardonnay for me and a Pinot noire from the wine list completed a wonderful meal. We didn't order desert however they sounded really good. If you make it to Newport I highly recommend TSK read more

My friend and I only came here for dessert but we truly loved our experience. We got to sit at the bar where you can watch the chefs cook, which is always fun. The atmosphere at the restaurant was relaxed, and the music they played was great, we both really enjoyed hanging out there. We shared the Icecream taco, and the donuts, both which were delicious. The taco had a unique savory and sweet combination, and the donuts were light and fluffy. The people that work there were extremely friendly, and made you feel welcome. I would love to come back here next time we are in town for dinner. read more

If you're planning to go during the summer make sure to have a reservation as it gets pretty busy. They have a beautiful indoor and outdoor space that is decorated on point. All the food was delicious and extremely fresh. I came as a group of 6 and we ate outside. We ordered 3 orders of the pea toast! "Vodka drinks" were a huge hit with the girls at the table. All of the entrees were amazing - I ordered the roasted chicken. I also think the menu changes quite a bit. I would definitely recommend for dinner for either date night or with a group of friends. Unreal food and ambiance!! read more

a lovely venue, with indoor and outdoor seating, an agreeable and well-trained staff, and a creative menu. Outdoor seating - covid bro, a neccesity, but they did it up right. Nice stone patio, a hearth in the middle, and comfortable seating The staff - attentive but not overbearing. What else can you ask for? The menu - a seafood/vegetarian forward menu. The soft-shell crab and pea toast were favorites. read more

We just ate there last night, from outside&menu they look like an innovative kitchen where they mix different flavors But in my personal opinion it did not workout for me We got Oysters; raw oysters you usually eat them with lemon, hot sauce, but they serve it with salt black pepper, I did not even taste oysters Arugula Salad; sauce was cheesy and fatty not refreshing again, you usually expect olive oil lemon kind of dressing Octopus; it was boiled octopus with curry sauce and chickpeas, I expect to octopus to taste refreshing not like some Indian style Chicken; whole chicken, they call it piri piri or something, it was OK Scallops; it was OK nothing extraordinary Price & taste wise I am sure there is better places around Even though I did not taste their Halibut fish and meat they were looking better on plate, you should probably go for safer choices read more

This is a speakeasy type situation apparently, it's easy to miss the location if you're relying on GPS. But my friend and I sat at the bar and let me tell you. It was the BEST meal of out entire trip to Newport! Totally worth the trip a little further away from the prime touristy spots (but still within walking distance). The shishito peppers, the heirloom tomato toast, the raviolo, the warm bread... we couldn't pick a favorite. We loved everyone who worked there. Hope to come back real soon! read more

caesar salad was the best i've ever had in my life. still thinking about it days later.

We've been TSK fans since they were located at their old place on lower Thames, and haven't been back in a few years. Positives: - Service was attentive - Table was ready ahead of our reservation time Negatives: - The menu is much more limited than we remember, and our faves (duck, for one) were absent - Both mains we ordered (fish and pork) were not memorable, and both drinks left something to be desired, especially coming off some great dining experiences elsewhere I'm holding out hope TSK returns to its former self - intimate, excellent meals - but until it does, you may want to try elsewhere. read more

Amazing food, friendly service, great ambiance. A place to go and enjoy fantastic food and good company. The bar seating is awesome too, as you can watch the entire kitchen make your food while you eat. It's actually quite fascinating. One of the best restaurants in Newport, in my opinion. The Sea Bass was phenomenal. Try the Spaghettini for the appetizer, you won't be disappointed. read more

We were in Rhode Island for 2 nights for a wedding, so we only had 1 chance to have dinner. After going back and forth between TSK and the Mooring, we decided we were in the mood for the more elevated vibe of TSK, and boy were we pleased with our choice. The only negative was the service. It started out great, with a dude getting our drink orders and recommending a delicious Burgundy wine (at $21/glass--whoops), but i think he was sort of covering for our absent waitress. Well she wasn't absent, just absent to us! We would see her going to all the tables around us and just ignoring us. It was very odd. The timing of the meal was also weird, it wasn't until we were almost done did anyone ask us if we wanted another (our 2nd) drink. (We did, of course.) The space is small but adorable. I think the TV playing sports was a bit out of place (and i LOVE sports). Otherwise, the dinner hit it out of the park. The Raviolo is AMAZING and decadent. We split 4 things and everything was perfect and light but filling. Oh, and the bread with butter was to die for! Next time I'm coming and sitting at the bar ("chefs counter") and hopefully will have better service! read more

Four of us had an excellent dinner at TSK on a Sunday night. Our server was friendly and attentive. The raviolo appetizer was decadent and the sauce was perfect for scooping up with our bread. Three of us had the lobster which we all loved. The fourth had the halibut porterhouse, which was an unusual cut and very flavorful. Overall it was an excellent dinner. We had dinner the next night at Midtown Oyster and spent the whole time wishing we were eating again at TSK. 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 wait for more than 40minutes for the strip steak. We ordered 23 oz but when it comes to table, seems like each of us 4 took 2 slices and it's done. The steak is good in taste. We also had scallop which is at common level. The beef starter is interesting. 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

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.

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

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

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
