  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
A fresh take on American cuisine using the finest ingredients, served in a classy yet casual setting with a family-friendly atmosphere. We prepare delectable seafood, numerous gluten-free options, and natural meats raised without hormones or antibiotics wherever possible.

All reservations will only be held for 15 minutes. Please call if a later arrival is needed and we will tell you our next available reservation.

We are unable to honor more guests than made on the original reservation due to limited seating. Please call the restaurant directly to see if changes to your guest number can be accommodated. We apologize, but guest number increases will not be able to be accommodated upon arrival to the restaurant. We also are not able to honor additional numbers left in the notes.

Carriages cannot be taken into our dining room. We will place them at the host area while you dine.

    Fast service good food not to expensive. Waitress could of been a lil more attentive like asking if anything else was needed like desert or more alchohol. Other than that a nice place to have dinner!

    My wife and I visit Newport once a year. We found Jo’s several years ago and go back every year. It is a hidden gem and a favorite with the locals. We love the food and the great, friendly service.

    The lobster carbonara was superb! A very good place with an even better service. And its musical ambientation is terrific! It’s located near Main Street but not too near to be as crowded. One of my favorite places to eat in Newport.
