I’ve been in Newport since August and this has quickly become my “go-to” stop. The specials are amazing, the drinks are EXCELLENT, the service personable and timely. I couldn’t more highly recommend this restaurant and I’ll miss it terribly when I leave.

Food, drinks, music, vibe and friendliness of the staff were amazing! Ethan is THE BEST bartender! He offered thoughtful suggestions based on our likes. Our server Patrick was friendly, kind, and patient with us and his other tables! Highly recommend any drink Ethan makes especially the key lime shot!

Omg! Ethan’s drinks were amazing. Bartender rocks! Can’t wait to head back to Cabana. Beautiful ambiance and great service

This place is a hidden gem in Newport. Thank you Cal for showing us such a good time and being so knowledgeable about the art of cocktails. We had a great time and enjoyed the food and drinks!

Our continued strategy of stumbling along the main drag until we find a cool place paid off once again! Very neat restaurant that is far cooler than it looks from the outside. The 'cabana' in the back (wonder where that name came from?) Is very chill and a great place to hang out. The food was good, the beer was cold, and the staff was on it. Would recommend!

Had dinner at the bar, Ethan was our fabulous bartender! He made delicious specialty drinks. Abigail’s key lime dessert, ordered as our appetizer( highly recommended) was out of this world! Followed by perfectly cooked smash burgers. Can’t wait to come back for the j*** chicken and strawberry dessert!!

Absolutely fantastic! Ethan was our bartender and gave us the best advice in what to eat and drink. The plantain fried with spicy aoli was the best!! Pastry chef Abigail is a genius with that key lime pie dessert. (Make that a starter, trust me.). Great cocktails, fun vibe.

Had visitors in town and tried Cabana for the first time. At first they tried squeezing 5 of us into the high top which simply didn't work. Highly recommend avoiding the high top option on Resy if your group is over 4. Luckily they were accommodative and moved us to a larger table which was nice of them. The staff overall was friendly, we enjoyed our drinks and the seating area in the back makes for a fun experience. However, they definitely need to work on the food which was bland to say the least. Not one of us came away wowed. The restaurant is new so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and will likely try again at some point, but overall we were slightly disappointed for our first experience. If you're just stopping in for a drink - definitely head out back to the tiki bar!

It is an okay choice. The drinks were good and probably the best thing about the meal. The staff was really nice and service was fast and good. Food was out fast when ordered. The food was good, not amazing. The presentation was nice and everything was cooked perfectly, but it was just okay.

Epic. We are still having positive flashbacks months later from the BBQ and shrimp Po'boy. The latter is the best I've ever had. Service was slightly tranquilized but the food more than made up for it.
Wonderful restaurant! The Pad Thai is the best. A perfect place to meet and greet and will miss it.

We've been there many times over the years it was always great. The wife and I went last night because we heard they were closing at the end of the year. The food was barely edible at best. And the service was horrible

Came here with family while spending the weekend in town. The atmosphere was very intimate and dressed eclectic with lights and Christmas decorations. We all ordered small appetizers to split and everything was good from the cheese to the calamari. My entree was chicken stir fry that was very healthy, more so than I expected. It wasn't my favorite as the chicken was too dry and the veggies seemed like they were just steamed and tossed in a light oil, not much seasoning. Service was fine, maybe would come here again and order different.

WE enjoyed our meal. The salad was great. I enjoy the ambience in the back room, front room is more hectic. Food was good, not as great as last time I was there.Still we had a nice time.
