Black Pearl

About this business

The Black Pearl is widely viewed by Rhode Islanders as the dress-up place to go for fine dining in Newport. The classic American cuisine, from seafood to beef is recommended; and it is situated on a wharf in downtown Newport, so you can shop. Cafes and harbor views surround you as you walk by moored yachts on your way in and out. The Black Pearl can seat 200, has a full bar, offers a special late night menu and requires that men wear jackets to dine.

Good times on the patio – I've never gone to the indoor dining area, but have always enjoyed grabbing a casual meal at Black Pearl's outdoor patio, which sits on the dock right outside of the restaurant. The burgers are delicious, and they make the best mudslide I've ever had. It's expensive, but you're paying for the atmosphere and the location. Service is generally solid. Worth going to at least once.

One simply hasn't "done" Newport if one hasn't dined here. – The Scene When the stars are in town--Ted Turner for a sail, Steven Spielberg to film a movie--this is where you're likely to find them. The Food Even if the place is celebrity-less, there are other stars: rich, oceany clam chowder with a reputation as the best in town, or baked oysters musky with truffles.

A Pearl on the Waterfront – For decades The Black Pearl has been the most popular dining spot in Rhode Island. The dining room is all burnished dark wood with flattering lighting and nautical art on the walls. The food is essentially moodern American. You can't go wrong with local oysters and clam. Seafish changes according to the catch. I highly recommend this place -- but reserve well in advance.
