Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Newport

I had a $25 certificate from a golf event which I used to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. I wanted someplace special and heard Meritage was a great restaurant. We weren't disappointed. The meal was excellent and the service was fantastic. The tables were placed far apart so we didn't hear neighboring conversations, and we were able to talk at normal volume which was most appreciated. We live in Providence and will return next year.

Can I give more than 5 stars? The food, drinks, service, and desserts were AMAZING! I can’t believe we waited this long to try such a great hidden gem. We will be back and we will be having the special strawberry dessert. Outstanding!

Our server Amanda was very friendly and accommodating. Our dinner on Christmas Eve was slow arriving from the kitchen, but fortunately there was a beautiful ambience to enjoy the evening with my man. 

When I originally booked this table, your establishment, had an extended menu, for the holiday. When I arrived , that menu was not in play. They’re running off an everyday luncheon menu for Christmas Eve (a little disappointing) Our server, Brendan, was fantastic. He was the only one turning tables, making drinks and waiting on customers. At no point did anyone feel neglected at my table. He was kind and professional..

Picked up relatives at PVD airport for a dinner reservation. Restaurant is 5 minutes from the airport and directly next to a hotel. We were 30 mins early, so they directed us to their “lounge” which is a back room with no ambiance and limited seats. However, we weren’t there 5 mins and they seated us! Asked for a quiet table (which is hard to do in this restaurant), but they did seat us away from the crowd. Thanks! Calamari was great tasting, but a slim serving for 4. Shaved steak sandwiches were good. Burger was good. Service was outstanding!! Prices were good. We would recommend this for anyone needing a good meal before or after a flight!! We will be back.
