Residing inside the historic Agassiz Mansion at Castle Hill Inn, Aurelia is the next evolution in Castle Hill’s culinary journey – one that has been lauded as one of the best dining experiences in New England. Nestled on forty magical acres, the property has been the backdrop of memorable occasions for more than a century.

The Forbes and Relais & Chateaux restaurant, known in its original incarnation as The Dining Room at Castle Hill, offers a six-course prix fixe menu with imaginative dishes utilizing the local bounty of produce, seafood, and artisanal producers.

Aurelia’s dining rooms overlook Narragansett Bay in all its raw beauty. As the bay’s seascape and surrounding landscape change subtly with the seasons, so does Aurelia’s menu, culminating in a truly memorable experience.

    I took my boyfriend here for his 26th birthday dinner, with no regrets. Both of us deeply enjoyed the attentive service by Nick and the rest of the servers. Our food was delicious, inventive, seasonal, and fresh. A word of recommendation- definitely go for the halibut over the duck. Both were great, but the halibut was absolutely divine. We made the mistake of eating all of our bread before the tortellini arrived at our table. They graciously gave us another loaf to enjoy the full dish experience. (If at all possible, my boyfriend would greatly appreciate any help in recreating that sourdough.) Overall, a fabulous dining experience in a beautiful setting that has given us a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    Get ready for a thousand flavors. Pungent, subtle, new, interesting, familiar, surprising and most of all, delicious. The space and staff lull you into an unforgettable, mystic food experience. My wife and I had an evening we will talk about for years to come. We were seated at 6:30 for what we thought was going to be a loooong 2-1/2 dining experience. It was 10:30pm when we left. A highly recommended experience at the very end of Newport Rhode Island.

    Another amazing evening at Castle Hill. This may have been our best meal yet, I especially loved the lobster! We also did the wine pairing, which we highly recommend. The wines were fabulous and we got to try a fortified Madeira wine we plan on buying for home. Our server was Carl, who quickly recognized us and offered incredible service (as always!). Castle Hill is the perfect place for a special dinner - our favorite!
