“No special occasion this time, just three friends making time for lunch and this was a prefect stormy day to see the sea and enjoy a bottle of bubbly and delicious cuisine. Our server was friendly and attentive and Brian came by to check on us and see how everything was--perfect as always!“
“Great local spot, but not the most welcoming to outsiders. Had to wait 20 minutes to get a reserved table, servers were best pals with every table around us. The food was inconsistent; some dishes were great, some were frankly sub par. A great wine selection.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly, at least for dinnerWheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.“
“Much like the other reviews, I had a fantastic experience with Darwin. The mark of a good bartender is being able to make a great “bartenders choice” drink with your liquor/palate preference. Overall the drinks where great with the service to match. A go-to nightcap in Newport for sure.“
“Parade day, half the staff quit and Courtney STILL took amazing care of us and made sure we had everything we needed regardless of the chaos. We come here every year during this chaotic day and it’s always a safe and comfortable space. 20/10. We love Courtney.“
“Great experience for my group of 8. We enjoyed having a pre-dinner cocktail at the bar with a seamless transition to our round dining table (love round tables!) which worked so well for keeping the conversation flowing over a beautiful dinner.“
“Excellent service - scallop app was outstanding- clam chowder would have liked some more clams-we also had the haddock which was very well portioned with the clams, perfect cooking- duck was beautifully done, would pass in the parsnips - lack of seasonings- toffee cake delish and great sorbet.“
“Sometimes you just need a good burger and bar - and Malt delivered! Cozy bar/restaurant with an awesome drink/cocktail/beer selection - and was pretty packed at 830 on a Saturday night. I had the Malt burger and it was great / cooked perfectly and tasty with bacon, pickled onion jam, mustard aioli, etc - the kitchen knows how to upgrade a burger! Draft Beer selection was impressive - I particularly loved this Pilsner from VT. Waiter was great - and they must make a mean espresso martini - as we saw a lot of them coming out from the bar! Menu is varied - and prob want to try the cod/risotto next time. Great experience and loved the ‘whole package’ at Malt!“
“I've been here a few times and every time the burgers are spectacular! Definitely some of the best burgers I've had in the area. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the vibes inside are funky and cool. Definitely a don't miss spot on Broadway!“
“Had lunch with family. Ordered burgers as part of the Newport, RI Burger Bender. Burger was cooked perfectly and was on point. Jalapeño aioli was killer. Really enjoyed. Staff were very accommodating. My mother-in-law has difficulty with stairs. The staff happily directed us to park behind the hotel to avoid stairs. They had a parking attendant meet us and escort us to the restaurant. Very nice indeed. Lunch time was pretty quiet compared to the hustle and bussle of downtown Newport. Was nice and quiet. Very relaxing for us seniors wanting a quiet relaxing place to dine for lunch.“
“This meal was refreshing to our palate and digestive system from eating heavy this whole trip. We are glad we stumbled onto this establishment. We ordered the hummus plate with veggies and my first time eating watermelon radish, now probably is my favorite veggie. Also my first time eating a wedge salad with a knife but worth it to have the best salad in a lifetime. Oh just to balance it all with a side of fries as I compared to Wingstop (sometimes not hot/fresh) cause that’s my standard of fresh hot good fires. Also not pictured is the Narragansett beer, is easily my favorite beer of all time due to being smooth that isn’t a lite beer, has the fullness of a beer and don’t taste the hopines of it.The service was 3.5 stars because we were the only ones when we placed our order and it took a minute to get our veggie plate…. but after that the other two came in a timely fashion. Service provided was welcoming the moment we walked in. Ambiance we had to imagine cause we were the only two until we had to leave but we imagined the full swing of this place of how lively it can be.**They have good plenty of gluten free options!“
“On a cold night we were out and about wandering around and trying to find some place to eat. This place had such a cozy/nautical vibe but was also very classy. We were seated immediately and our waitress brought us over some water. There are plenty of options for seating : High tops, bar seating and booths. We ended up going with the specials: Korean BBQ Salmon over peanut butter & coconut noodles ; Jerk Chicken Wings, and the crab cakes. Everything was uniquely flavored and the portions were large. We really enjoyed everything we ordered to include our drinks. We'd recommend coming here if you're ever visiting in the area.“

“Staff was courteous and very helpful. My dish was served five minutes before my wife's dish came out. Wife's sandwich was soggy from the salad that was served on same plate. These two avoidable mistakes took away from our oveall enjoyment. The restaurant was not busy. The mud pie ice cream desert saved the day.“
“Had the 2-course lunch special for $22 and everything was delicious. The lobster roll was served hot or cold, pictured is the hot roll with a nice garlic flavor on the bread. Steak in the sandwich was tender and not fatty and the fries are perfect. Service was timely, and serves was informative. Highly recommend trying them out.“
