Food:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Excellent food and service and very clean.
• Parking but worth the time.

“I stop by at least once a week and order for lunch I have never had a bad meal the food is very tasty and the staff is probably the friendliest I have ever experienced. The store is very clean and looks great since they remodeled. Definitely a place to eat at with your family.”

Salas Restaurant

• Everything.
• Waiting for a table!

“It's a tradition to go to Salas' on my birthday in January, this will be the 26th year! As locals we never hit Newport in the summer but it's free and clear in January. The wait staff is the same ladies who served me as a kid and know when we come in now it's my birthday. The food is so affordable and very good. The seafood is always fresh. The oriental spaghetti is a favorite of many friends and family. The checkered table cloths add to that family restaurant feel. The owners are Armenian I believe but do a great job with all kinds of cusine! Kids are always welcome, I have a 2 year old and she comes along. The wait can be longer for a big table since there are only about 5 tables in the whole place.”

Sardellas

• I'm hard pressed to think of anything.
• The service was especially poor.

“While hoping to avoid tourist trap restaurants in Newport I initially thought Sardella's would fit the bill. I was sorely mistaken. Some items were so bland while other items were so over-spiced with garlic (this coming from a garlic lover); it was as though the food was coming from different restaurants. The portions seemed decent, except for the entree specials, which were way over-priced. The shrimp brochette appetizer was pretty bad -- the shellfish were like rubber. The ambiance was horrendous: loud, crowded and sweltering hot. And, in spite of the sweltering heat, the restaurant had lit some of their kerosene portable heaters and had the fireplace going! The service was especially horrible; long after our appetizers were finished my party and I virtually languished, waiting for the entrees to arrive. When we asked the waitperson -- when we could get her attention, and who seemed more than put out that she had to work that evening -- about the wait we were told that the restaurant was hosting several parties, as if that was a satisfactory excuse to let other paying customers sit around and wait indefinitely. And if you have a question about an item on the menu, forget it! You really got a good helping of attitude with your answer! Oh, and try to get a glass of water to help slake your thirst in the sweltering heat -- forget that, too! It seems to me that Sardella's could do something to be a little more customer friendly and plan their seating a little better. Thankfully, my guests are long-suffering. As for me, I am pretty patient when it comes to restaurants, as I eat out frequently. Rather then write a bad review I will generally give a restaurant at least a second chance. My experience at Sardella's was so unfavorable that I felt compelled to write a review.”

A1 Pizza

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[5]

• great pizza.
• Often busy.

“I've been coming here for years - the pizza is one of the two best in town. They specialize also in Greek side-orders and sandwiches. Most people order take out but there are tables inside. It's not a restaurant in my opinion, but a straight pizza parlor run by a local family.”

Newport Blues Cafe

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Food, music.
• Warm up of band during dinner.

“Great food and great music later, we had a really good time with a mixed crowd not too many young or old. We love to visit Newport and will make sure to extend our next visit to say longer and enjoy the club even more.”
