Tavern House Kitchen + Bar

Great spot. Great view. Nice cozy restaurant/bar with good pricing and very good food. We went for happy hour martinis, flatbread pizza and Mexican shrimp cocktail. All were perfect. Valet parking…$6 But in all fairness parking in this area is very very limited. Will definitely go back.

Bay view dining at its best ! Visited here while on vacation in area. Great find ! Food was delicious ! We had the calamari appetizer, bbq ribs, scallops, fried chicken, and fish and chips. The scallops and ribs were amazing !! The blueberry mojito was yummy but a bit on the sweet side. The fried chicken and fish and chips were delicious too ! Would def recommend!

My sister and cousin and I were coming from a day at the beach and were looking for a restaurant that had a different selection than what the beachfront venues were offering. Found this place via Google search and was surprised, firstly, that valet was only $6! The overall pricing is compatible with their excellent service and food selection on offer and worth every penny.

The atmosphere was cozy, yet high-end in the way that you might expect a members-only club to feel. We had a booth by the window - amazing view of the waterway, sailboats, and sunset! - but we wished we had more overhead light to see our food. It was a bit too dim for our preference.

The staff here are impeccable in their service, hands down. From the valet, to the hosts, to Tatiana (our SP), to Nicki (our server), and to Paco (Le Grande Chef), everyone made this place and our experience a wonderful event. Paco even acquiesced to a request my cousin had to separate some ingredients (pepper) from her calamari starter because of her dental surgery. That was very kind of him, since we know it's a bit of faux pas to ask a chef to change their preparation of a dish.

The food - the flavors, the textures, the presentation - was AMAZING! We actually cried in wonder when we first tasted one of our other starters (Terrine of Duck Liver Mousse - this alone was worth the trip!), and again for our own individual entrées. I had the French Onion Filet Mignon with glazed/fried Brussels sprouts (read that again) and I cut it with the blunt side of my fork! It was so soft, my cousin, who had recently had her wisdom teeth removed, could just let it melt in her mouth when I let her sample it. She cried too. (We do this crying thing only in extreme happiness - rare with food outings).

Other honorable mentions: Buttered scallops with prosciutto chips, creamy polenta, and asparagus; perfectly seasoned, creamy clam chowder; tequila oyster shots; and a dessert of dark chocolate mousse torte with Cointreau (rum) cream! The aftermath of it all was that plates were scraped clean and any leftovers were put in containers with deliberate care. By the way, the Daou Cabernet Sauvignon was surprisingly not as dry as a usual cab, and had the aromatic hints of a merlot.

Safe to say I have been gushing (and humble bragging) about this place to everyone I know. Love it and would highly recommend a visit here.

10 ⭐️

Decided to bring my in laws here for a nice lunch in Newport. We decided to have the Brussel sprouts and clam chowder as an appetizer. Definitely recommended. For lunch I had the sea bass plate, it was tasty and the fish was cooked perfectly. The view of the water and the ambiance was perfect. We really enjoyed it and definitely recommend the food and service here.

Quick & delicious lunch!
