East Side Restaurant

Overall Rating: 10

• View of the lake, love to shop in the gift shop.
• Kind of hard to locate if your not familiar with area.

“We love this restaurant. Our son and his fiance moved here recently, so we always make sure we stop for lunch or dinner. In fact my son's wedding and reception will be held here in October. I am sure it will be done beautifully!”

• Food is horrible.
• Nice porch overlooking the water.

“Over the last 20 years, we have eaten at the Eastside through the various owners and chefs. Along time a go it uses to be good, but not any more. The food is disgusting, the restaurant is dirty and very unsanitary. The board of health in Newport needs to make surprise visits. The crackers brought to the table with cheese were stale and we think that they pass around the basket to more than one table instead of tossing out the left over crackers, I think they are putting a new cheese cup and putting it on the next guest's table. For starters, the ginger ale I ordered was flat and over priced $1.75. My husband ordered the fisherman's feast with the one crab leg, taste less bland seafood and the French fries on the dish looked like they were sitting for hours under a heat lamp and were greasy and burnt. I ordered the seafood dish in sherry cream sauce on the menu, it was horrible. The sauce tasted like crushed Ritz crackers, with cream, sherry and butter, my husband tasted it and said it was disgusting too. The seafood was old dried up over cooked shellfish, it came with two crostini, a regular item on the menu. The onion soup was lukewarm and flavorless. Now on to the salad bar, first of all salad bars should be banned, this is so dated and just a bacteria pit. The Eastside Salad Bar is dirty, nasty looking food and most of the dishes were half empty and looked like there we sitting there for weeks, I was afraid to eat from the salad bar, in the middle of summer 7/20/2008, the selection should be nice, but it consisted of old radishes, half a dish off colored beets that looked old, some dried up carrot shreds, nothing spectacular. There were several Mayonnaise laden salads that looked disgusting and the on I tried had some oily tasting tuna, I almost buffed it was so bad. The roll tray had one cinnamon sticky set of tongs that looked like they had not been washed in a week. There was not tong for the plain rolls so you either had to use the cinnamon tongs or your hands to pick of the roll. This was a $62.00 screwing. We ate at the restaurant twice this past summer and the last time it wasn't any better. Shame on the Dena Gray for screwing her customers with her lousy poor quality slop that she calls food, shame! Also here waitress over dirty looking too and should were uniforms. I was waiting for the hostess to ask me how the mean was but she didn't ask. Newport needs competition, if there were decent restaurants this one would close up or clean up.”

• Fantastic location and great food.
• There is a wait on weekends, but probably no more than 20 minutes.

“Every time we go to Newport we eat here. The food is great and a great selection to choose from. We have had groups of ten people and they are very accommodating. Plus the view of lake Memphremagog is fantastic. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Newport.”
