Awesome food and Happy Hour – I came here after work one day and was totally blown away! We were greeted with super friendly and helpful service the whole time, we even spoke with the owner. The server gave an awesome recommendation on "The Prisoner" Zinfandel and it is now one of my favorite new wines, I literally savored every sip.

Some of the most tasty cheeses and it was... read more

THE Most Unbelievable Happy Hour – As soon as you walk through the doors, you feel the ambiance. The staff is extremely polite and helpful... I have been to 3 happy hours now and the menu keeps getting better. The hamburger is one of the best that I have ever had and I typically don't eat hamburgers. There is an extensive drink menu (which is 50% off for happy hour). This is a must for Newport locals as well as out-of-towners.

I give A Restaurant an A+! – The food at A Restaurant exceeded my expectations! I especially love the appetizers! I am also very impressed with the wine selection and great cocktails. The Pear martini is to die for!!! You can't find a better happy hour around, the price is right and the drinks are always strong!

Trying Too Hard to be on the A-list – I thought it very pretentious with very little substance. We had a family birthday here, with 5 people. The waiter was overbearing and snooty and the food recommendations were lacking. Have not and will not be back. Way overpriced for quality.
