White Horse Tavern 26 Marlborough Street, Newport, RI 02840

"I had a remarkable experience, the fire place was beautiful!! They have a great wine list, the history of the White House tavern was remarkable!!! Amazing service by the staff, very knowledgeable and friendly. The bread pudding and the beef Wellington was my absolute favorite of the night…. I also suggest you make a reservation and dress appropriately to enjoy the romantic atmosphere that the White House tavern provides…. It was worth every cent!!!! Will definitely visit again!!"

"I was worried this was a place that relies on its reputation / history to draw people in but after eating there I see why it has remained in place as the food is GREAT! Servers are very friendly and helpful, the cocktails are delicious and the wine list is extensive but not in a overwhelming snooty way. The Beef Wellington is fantastic but honestly all the food is great. The chef clearly knows what they are doing and I deeply appreciate someone who understands what rare means. I appreciate the decor represents the history of this restaurant without feeling over the top or kitchy. The whole place just has a nice, welcoming warming feel. Also, the hostess was really kind and had a GREAT sense of style which was just fun to see when we walked in. Would def go back the next time I am in Newport."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at the White Horse Tavern in Newport, Rhode Island, and I must say, it was an experience like no other. As the oldest continually operating restaurant and bar in America, the history alone makes this place a must-visit. But it's not just the history that captivated me; it was the entire atmosphere—warm, intimate, inviting, and steeped in tradition. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the chicken breast smothered in Marsala sauce, and it was nothing short of divine. The chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. The Marsala sauce added a rich, complex flavor that elevated the dish to a whole new level. It was incredibly filling, leaving me more than satisfied. For dessert, I opted for the seasonal pudding, and I wasn't disappointed. It was deliciously sweet, yet not overpowering, and it paired exceptionally well with my coffee. The dessert was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Overall, the White Horse Tavern is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience that takes you back in time while offering modern culinary delights. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was enchanting, and the food was out of this world. This is a place that has left an indelible mark on my memory, and I can't wait to return."

"It was a really fun place to visit because of the history of the building in the restaurant. I was lucky enough to sit upstairs which was fun, the building is nicely preserved. I was disappointed because they didn’t offer corkage so I was unable to bring my own wine to dinner. They have a decent wine list but it skews on the pricier side and the vintages offered are off years. The oysters were excellent. My date had the chicken and loved it. The beef Wellington is what “they are known for” and it was good. Mine was over cooked which was a bit disappointing but the flavors were still great. All in all, fun place to visit with good food for a special dinner."
