The Dining Room at The Vanderbilt 41 Mary Street, Newport, RI 02840

"We made reservations based on the menu posted online. We saw an organic roasted chicken which I wanted, but the menu at the mansion was different. We were told the online menu version was not updated. We then had to choose another option, which was the Steak Frittes, to find out, they were all sold out. We then ordered a burger and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was just that, fried chicken! They served it with a side of coleslaw. No sauces, no bread, just chicken. Although the chicken tasted great, I wish it came with a better side such as Mac and cheese, potato Au Gratin, mash potatoes, fries, etc. The burger had a Greta taste but the fries were soggy. For the price we paid, McDonald’s Big Mac, or chicken sandwich from Popeye’s would’ve been better at $20 than $200."

"Our experience at the Dining Room was nothing short of exceptional, a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. The wait staff cared for us from the moment we walked in and were perfectly attentive and warm. The manger Andrew even came over to wish us a happy anniversary, and to ensure that everything met our expectations. Everything was well timed coming to the table. The Long Island Duck and Nova Scotia Halibut were to die for. The wine pairings were outstanding and well worth the addition! Save room for dessert as the Sticky Toffee Pudding was the best I've ever eaten. Certainly one of the most memorable meals and restaurant experiences we’ve ever had!"

"10/10 experience! This was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. The service was outstanding! Very welcoming, kind, and just overall above and beyond. Snehil and Martha, thank you for making the experience so positive. They had a custom requested cocktail prepared for me and the signature martini for my fiance was mixed tableside in a show of sorts. He said it was the best martini of his life! We ordered the octapus to split and it was so tender and well prepared we wished we ordered another one. But we're glad we didn't so had an appetite for our main courses. We ordered the duck and salmon dishes. The duck was truly mouth watering. I have eaten a lot of duck in my life and this one is a standout. My compliments to the chef, you blew me away. The salmon was also cooked perfectly. And then we ordered the pavlova and they made us feel extra special with decorating it for our celebration. We will be back...soon!"
