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!

Friends in town and wanted a nice relaxing place to enjoy a meal. Not too busy for a midweek night…read more Had both bar or table seating available for quick seating. Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean!

She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

My wife and I went to 22 Bowen's to celebrate our anniversary. She has never been, and I haven't…read morebeen in over a decade. The atmosphere was great despite a cloudy, rainy evening. 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.

There is a lot of character in every seating area. Even though we were seated in the bar, we sat next to a fireplace with lit faux candles and admired the ceiling beams. The service was courteous, neither rushing us nor ignoring us. My partner preferred her oysters at White Horse Tavern to the top notch seafood restaurant we'd dined at the evening before... 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.

We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

Atlantic Grille is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and can be considered a somewhat "hidden…read moregem" due to the fact that it's not located right smack in Downtown Newport. Don't be afraid- it's just a short drive (10 minutes or so), and the Grille does have onsite parking. Even if there's a wait, don't let it deter you. The home cooked breakfast grub is truly worth it, and they turn tables pretty quickly, so you shouldn't be waiting for too long before you can sit in a comfy booth and dig into fluffy pancakes, perfect omelettes, and the best hash brown potatoes ever! The inside of the restaurant is casual, with surf inspired decor, chalkboards listing daily specials, and a full service bar with TVs broadcasting the latest game. Atlantic Grille is family friendly, so if you are looking for a chic girls brunch spot or something quiet and reserved, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking for classic breakfast fare at a good price in a fun and convivial environment, this is the place to go. I love the Western Omelette with gooey cheese, crisp ham and fresh veggies, or the Eggs Benedict, which features perfectly poached eggs (kudos to the kitchen for nailing this every time). I also enjoy the fresh fruit bowl (nothing canned or sketchy), and we always have to get a Buttermilk Pancake as an appetizer (this is the "bread course!") This is a great family owned spot you'll want to add to your Aquidneck Island adventures- especially if you want to feel like a local!
