This restaurant has excellent reviews, however our meals were just good and not overly memorable. The atmosphere was very nice, and you felt as if you were dining in one of the old mansions. The was the best part of the experience. The staff was very friendly and professional too. The bacon wrapped scallop appetizer was good, not great. They... More

This quaint restaurant is located right off bellveue ave and steps away from the tennis hall of fame. There is a lovely outdoor bar/seating area that would be perfect in warm weather. When we stepped inside, we felt like we took a trip back into the 1800s. The wall paper and other furnishings made us feel like we were in... More

I am really shocked by all the good reviews (which are why we tried this place in the first place). I should have been tipped off by the fact that last minute reservations here were wide open while every other place we tried in Newport was booked solid. The dining room is very dated, which is a shame because it... More

The meal was good, but I was a little disappointed after hearing so many rave reviews about this place. A couple of items on the Prix Fixe menu for Restaurant week weren't available. The red pear salad was delicious, but the beef in the Beef Wellington was a little tough. We had reservations but were stuck in a corner of... More

We went to the Canfield House during Newport Restaurant Week. We arrived for an 8:15 reservation only to wait half an hour before we were seated. We were given a small table in the corner, which was cozy. The room is very nice with beautifully carved wood panels. It was very crowded with a lot of loud conversation from the... More

The atmosphere is elegant, warm and inviting with beautiful woodwork and a great outside deck. The food is ALWAYS outstanding, great wine list, full bar options with knowledgeable... More

We enjoyed our "joint" birthday dinner here last week. The location is quite near the intersection of Bellevue Ave and Memorial Blvd. Just set in off Memorial Blvd, the B&B/restaurant has its own free parking which is a bit of a treat in Newport. There is a very nice separate bar area which is a comfy spot to enjoy cocktails.... More
