The Vanderbilt Grill - Newport

The lunch menu at this restaurant was not your typical fare, with mostly salads and appetizers, along with a fish dish and a burger option. Though the small portion sizes didn't bother me, I struggled to see the value in paying $19 for a cup of soup. The restaurant was relatively empty, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Although the service was top-notch and friendly, it wasn't enough to entice me to return.

I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant. It stood out in every category, from the atmosphere and customer service to the quality of the food and drinks. Outstanding.

We had a dinner reservation at 8:30 in the garden. The staff was amazing as soon as we got there. The restaurant is incredibly beautiful. Our waiter, Paublo, was a charming young man who was very knowledgeable about The Vanderbilt. The food was tasty and the garden setting was lovely. The only downside was that there was a nearby table with two small dogs that barked throughout dinner. Personally, I feel that dogs should not be allowed at upscale dining establishments.

This was an unusual lunch menu, hard on salads and appetizers with a fish course and a burger. Not that I thought the little plates, but I didn't see the value in a small cup of soup for $19. Not many people were there, so it was super quiet. We had a very good and friendly service, but it didn't impress me enough to return.

Service slow and limited menu and no substitutions. At the price you should serve at least maische potatoes instead of French pommes with fillet and bad salad. Recommend music outside.
