Coastal towns such as Newport, RI, have much to offer. They have a flare about them that won’t be found in towns not bordered by water. The sights, sounds, and tastes of the coast draw visitors to explore. The Newport area also boasts a variety of dining options. Visitors will love discovering excellent waterfront restaurants that this “City by the Sea” offers.
Casual Dining
Any beach visit calls for casual dining. After spending an afternoon walking on the shore, a taste of the sea in a relaxed atmosphere is a perfect end to the day. Stop by Flo’s Clam Shack and enjoy their clam cakes, lobster rolls, and chowder. Looking for something casual that is also pet-friendly? Consider O’Brien’s Pub. It boasts a fabulous outdoor patio where diners can enjoy lunch while keeping their pet close by.
Fine Dining
For those looking for an evening of fine dining, then there are numerous options in the City by the Sea. For authentic Italian cuisine, try Sardella’s Italian Restaurant, founded by former Newport mayor Richard Sardella. Finish dinner with true Italian flare and toast with a Sardella’s Espresso Martini. Visit the historic Bowen’s Wharf for a romantic steak dinner paired perfectly with a glass of wine at 22 Bowen’s Wine Bar and Grille. What better way to end a day of touring than with an elegant, delicious meal?
Local Dining
Local dining can be one of the most enjoyable parts of any vacation, and trying local restaurants is always such an authentic experience. Whether visitors are in the mood for a hot dog from Ben’s Chili Dogs, a delicious burger at La Forge Casino Restaurant, a pizza from Nikolas Pizza, or New England Clam Chowder from the Black Pearl, it is the classic, local dining that will make a tour of Newport waterfront restaurants one to remember.
