   Amazing location and venue to dine. Aside from the splendor of Castle Hill Inn, I was blown away by the special care and service I was treated to as a Single diner. Where often I get parked at side tables and feel like “an afterthought” - the whole team at the dining room made sure I had an amazing time. Thank you to all - but especially Nick who looked after “me”. The food is excellently prepared and beautiful presented, accompanied by a great selection of (Sommelier Selection) premium wine pairing. If closer, I d be back many times.

   This was a perfect choice for celebrating our anniversary. The food was creatively presented and absolutely delicious. Service was flawless and the entire experience was enhanced by the guidance Dan provided in selecting wines to accompany the 6 course tasting menu.

   6 course tasting meal. Every course was special. Harrison, our waiter was discreet but always available & knew a great deal about every course & wines. Expensive but Extraordinary experience. Last week had lunch on the lawn. That was sublime with spectacular views.

    It is advertised as a six course dinner for $135 per person . So the two of us were expecting a culinary experience involving large quantities of delicious food with a wonderful presentation. What we received were six rather small courses of mediocre food, except for the rather tasty dessert. A very disappointing culinary experience. In all fairness, however, it should be noted that our first visit to this very scenic venue was in September of 2021, when we had a very satisfactory lunch after sitting in the Adirondack lawn chairs for an hour while enjoying the view..

    A 6 course tasting menu that was a true dining experience. Each course had a unique spin to it. I hate beets but had the frozen beets in order to please my girlfriend and I couldn’t get enough of it! My tastebuds were in heaven!

    Best restaurant in Newport. The location is beautiful, and the food is wonderful. Tasting menu only, and the portions are on the small side, but delicious and beautifully presented. Went there to celebrate my daughter’s graduation, and we all got a complimentary glass of champagne. Service is wonderful.

    The restaurant overlooks Narragansett Bay but our table looked out to an Arborvitae hedged that blocked all water views. Our table was situated very close to another diner and we could hear every word the neighboring diner had to say throughout our meal. The waiter made a couple mistakes with our order, mistakenly served us the wrong entree and had to ask what our order was in order to correct future mistakes with the six course tasting. The waiter approached our table to introduce every course and his awkward personality made it difficult to enjoy the experience. Very disappointed with the Castle Hill Inn dining experience overall.

    This was quite literally the best meal experience that I have had in years..... and I have eaten all over the US and the world. This is not a dinner for those worried about $$, but if you are willing to spend the money you will have a gastronomic experience that is absolutely fantastic in every way. The food (priced fixed) was fabulous - so interesting in presentation and taste. Small portions - which was perfect for this multi course dinner because I was stuffed after!! Each dish was fascinating to look at and delightful to taste each little nuance from unusual vegetable pairings to delicious rabbit ragout. The somellier also provided superb wine pairings with great explanations. Add to this a delicious plate of fresh breads that was continuously circulated. Yum! Finally, to top it off the spectacular view - the restaurant sits on the edge of a point overlooking the bay with yachts gracefully riding the waves with the wind filling their broad sails. Spectacular.

    The food was awful. We are not picky eaters we eat everything, try new foods all the time but this was just awful. We felt bad to tell them because the service was so great. Some of the dishes were okay but it was one bite of food and that’s being generous. Then other we couldn’t even eat it because the taste made us gag. This shocked us because of all the great reviews.

    I have enjoyed Castle Hill for over 40 years. There wine by the glass list was disappointing. Since you only had a preset menu, the need for different wines was more important. It distracted from the excellent food.

    I came to the Dining Room last night for my girlfriends birthday, just me and her. Walking in, the atmosphere hits you right away; high class, fine dining, relaxed. First interaction was with the hostess, she was lovely. I mentioned i was coming from providence and she proceeded to say something i did not expect when i said its a beautiful drive to and from. “With all due respect its like Siberia out there.” Kind of shocked me because i just mentioned the drive. No big deal. I was given Alex and Harrison as my waiter and Service Captain. They were nothing short of amazing and welcoming! The Wine is IMMACULATE! I am a moscato guy and what i was served made my mouth fall in love with the sweetness of it! The overall setting was stunning, but the other patrons who were eating gave off a disturbed vibe like we were out of place. I love Newport, its beauty, its food, and the aesthetic of it all. I cant control how others respond or react. Don’t let it get to anyone because its just the way the “high class” is. I have no complaint about The Dining Room. I will be returning again to try to more of the menu and enjoy it more and more each time!
