What an anniversary dinner. We had a nice table next to the window and could see the Newport bridge lit up.

We opted for the three course fixed price dinner option with wine pairing.

Our service throughout was top notch by the entire service team. Our lead server walked us through each meal option with wine and did outstanding.

For the first course my wife had the oysters and I had the squash soup. Best we ever had.

Next my wife had the duck and I had the beef filet. My wife enjoyed her duck but thought it was slightly over cooked and smelt a little gamey. My filet was cooked to perfection with nice flavors. Overall we both enjoyed them.

For desert I had the soufflé and my wife chocolate ganache. Both were top notch.

The wines that were paired were all excellent. However some of the pours seemed a little light.

This is a great restaurant for a special occasion. It was worth the money for a special night but the most expensive meal we ever had.

We will go back.

Overall great food and restaurant. Service was good and there were plenty of staff on hand. My sense was the staff was new or maybe the winter staff. The doorman didn't seem to speak at all which seemed a little off. Food was excellent with several rounds of free treats from the kitchen. Was a birthday celebration and I'd asked for a cake or something when I booked the reservation... after dinner they brought a mini cake with a candle- it was delicious. We were also given a free jar of gooseberry jam, also excellent.

Great evening part of Newport Restaurant Week

Delightful meal served by professional, friendly wait staff.

We booked this restaurant for Newport Restaurant Week. First time there and we enjoyed it immensely. Everything was classy including our server was dressed in a suit. He was knowledgeable about the history of the mansion and a superb server. The food was phenomenal. We live 1.5 hours away and will gladly do the long trek again soon since it was one of the most enjoyable dining experience.

The service, attention and atmosphere are exceptional. The details and extras are amazing. The food was excellent ,the variety was excellent.

CH knows what they’re doing. The atmosphere, charm and beauty of the property are impeccable. The service and food are unmatched.
It was our anniversary and they surprised us with complimentary champagne too; nice touch!
We will be back. Thanks so much for a wonderful evening!!

The service was outstanding, especially Nick. Patient and attentive with all our questions, and all his recommendations were spot on. Food was 5 star. Butternut squash soup was incredible, and the duck was prepared perfectly. Overall highly recommended. Very pleased with our choice to celebrate our anniversary. Will be sure to include Castle Hill Inn on our next trip to Newport. Thanks again to all the staff for a wonderful experience.

Fabulous dinner and view... highly recommend it!!!

Based on our recent experience, the restaurant fell short of our usual fine experience there.

Service was inattentive, very slow, a long wait from appetizer to entree, 7:15 arrival, entree served at 8:30 Had to ask for water to be refilled. Extremely salty swordfish entree, experienced by three diners in our party... Disappointing for the price.

Beautifully scenic. The food is delicious and the staff is very attentive and accommodating.

Our dinner at Castle Hill Inn was simply the best restaurant experience my wife and I have ever had. The dinner started with the sunset on a beautiful night. We had superb seating to view it. The service was top notch. The food (three-course prix fixe with wine pairings) was marvelous. Our waitress described in detail each wine and the reason for its pairing with our food choices--and they did not disappoint. Once again, simply the best and a must for our next visit to Newport.

The premiere special occasion restaurant in RI, they treat every occasion like it is a special occasion. The view of the Newport Bridge is beautiful and the food is astonishing. This is not quick dining, so plan to relax and enjoy your evening here as you are treated amazingly.

Best Restaurant in Newport! Excellent chef and incredible service. Visited Friday night and then went back a 2nd time Sunday.

If you want to experience culinary perfection look no further than here. Highly recommend the chef’s pairing. Plan on investing between $300 to $400 per couple but you will have a meal that you will never forget. It is not about portions, rather about flavor and presentation.

The 3-course Prix Fixe menu was amazing and expertly paired with wine for each course. The waiter was super knowledgeable, polite and sociable. The restaurant assisted me in rearranging my reservation with ease and understanding after my babysitter cancelled and I needed to bring my daughter along on what was intended to be a parent's date-night out. Will definitely be eating here for dinner again!

Had such a amazing birthday dinner at Castle Hill! It lived up to everything that we imagined it to be. Five star service, well composed dishes, finishing with a great ambiance. We'll definitely be back here for dinner soon. Highly recommend!

Only complaint was that we only received half of the uneaten food we requested to take home.

Great anniversary dinner with a beautiful sunset view.

Spectacular evening! The food was exceptional... and the wait staff never left us wanting for anything. The squash soup was superb. At our table, we had beef, seafood and vegetarian... and everything was wonderful. The desserts were also very special... best chocolate soufle I've ever had. Try to get there early enough for sunset. It was dark when we arrived, but what we saw was so intriguing... we went back the next morning to see the view... it's absolutely beautiful. While this is a pricey restaurant... it was definitely worth it!

Hands down the best dining experience. Can not recommend the chefs tasting and wine pairing enough. It may seem expensive but the food you get and the ample wine makes it worth every dollar. Do t miss out on this Jem!

The Dining Room at Castle Hill Inn is an excellent choice for a special dinner. We had the 3 course prix fixe dinner. All three courses were excellent, both perfectly prepared and beautifully served. My husband felt that the duck was perhaps the best duck he had ever had. High praise, indeed. The service was attentive but not overbearing. My only (mild) criticism was the noise level which was due to our close proximity to another table who were rather loud, but the room itself was fine. Another excellent feature was that we indicated we were not in a hurry and they timed our meal accordingly. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Service was very slow!

Food was overcooked!

Disappointing especially given the cost!

The whole dining experience was perfect! The room is beautiful, the service and food both spectacular. I had the lamb, my husband had the duck. Both were delicious

Cebrating our anniversary and chose Castle Hill Inn because of the reviews and it being a great day to view the sunset. Great food, great service in a great setting!!!

We had a fabulous dinner at Castle hill! The food was amazing, the service PERFECT, the ambience great and the special extras such a treat! Can't wait to go back!
