Long awaited visit. Wonderful experience. Food and service were excellent. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, clean, delicious well prepared healthy food. Looking forward to full capacity guests again sans masks to truly appreciate, experience our dining experience there with the bar open too-sad to see “no life”, in other words, guests enjoying, mingling, relaxing in the full establishment.

A very good local meal service was fast and friendly

Great food, great service and great location in Newport RI

Our server was happy and also happy to help us with any need. The ambiance was perfect. Sat upstairs but was open enough to feel safe and nearly outdoors.

Recommended by a friend several years and finally followed up. Very friendly neighborhood feel and exceptional value. Loved the barbecued shrimp and its spicy sauce on grits. Now that we know where to park we'll be back on our next trip.

Great time! Was able to sit outside with my family. They have partitions to separate diners from each other. Location was very clean and service was great. Highly recommend the lobster roll! It's huge and filled with claws.

I love this place! Jo’s is one of my favorite restaurants in Newport. The food is consistently fantastic, and the service is always great. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Strict Covid-19 protocols were followed. We sat outdoors on a beautiful summer evening.

Decided to hit Newport as first Trip out during COVID-19. Picked Jo’s because of others comments. We loved this place! Owner was so kind and conversational. Waitstaff was attentive and compassionate. And the food was outstanding. I had steak frite, my wife had the grilled shrimp. And we ended with the creme brûlée. Make sure you hit this spot. Easy walk from downtown. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious food and good prices. Server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Having Celiac Disease, I appreciate they take allergies seriously. I was comfortable dining inside because of the dividers between tables. Excellent job creating a comfortable atmosphere during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, amazing food!

We had a wonderful family meal & I don't know if the food or service was more exceptional.

Food was delicious, every single thing we had was flavorful and prepared as ordered. The lobster bisque and the clam chowder were outstanding. Our server Kailyn was delightful and attentive without being intrusive. A cut above most other restaurants, for sure.

The food and service is always wonderful here, and now during the Covid they’ve gone to every length to make you feel safe. The ambience is still beautiful, very open and airy. A great place if you’re looking to venture into indoor dining !

All around nice

Always a great experience! Staff is warm and friendly and the food is perfectly cooked and delicious! We missed you! Thanks Jo!

Food was really good and the restaurant was very clean! The staff was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. This was my first restaurant I have ate at after the covid closings and they made sure it was a safe environment. I will be back :)

We took our daughter out to lunch here for her birthday, it was quite enjoyable, cute place, great service and great food!

My favorite neighborhood bistro! Always excel foid and attentive service.

Great as always!

As always. It is was great!

The food was really good. We shared the antipasto and each had burgers and dessert. We also had a bottle of wine. Just a party of two - not a tiny check, but not a big one either. The server just didn’t care. She was focused on getting out of work, maybe.

We had a great experience. It was hard to choose wha to order since everything around us looked so good. The food we did order was delicious . The dessert a smore, recommended by the friendly owner Joann was the BEST! Will definite recommend and return when visiting Newport again.

Salads were delicious. Not too much dressing with lots of veggies. Scallops were perfectly cooked and the burger is the way my partner wanted it.
Overall it's an easy place to enjoy a fine meal and relax.

My husband snd I saw Jo’s special Sunday Prix fixe menu, and decided to dine here. It was awesome!
My husband had the salmon special, with salad, which was delicious. My selection was the pork medallions with bacon onion jam and shaved brussels sprouts with bacon, with Apple and butternut squash puréed soup. Fabulous.
And, this $20.95 prix fixe meal also included a glass of wine. And as a side note- their wine glasses are mighty fine- and I’m a wine glass snob....
I highly recommend Jo’s

Nice dinner. Overall a nice evening

Took a quick weekend trip to Newport from upstate NY. Decided to try Jo’s and was absolutely delighted by both the food and services. My fiancé had the wedge (large enough to be an entree for a smaller appetite) and the fish and chips. I had the lobster bisque (bowl of broken up lobster meat brought to the table and a carafe of soup poured over top) and the scallops. The meal didn’t stand a chance. Nothing left to take home. My only regret was not saving room to try dessert.
*Note: I was nervous walking in because we were seated right near the live music but it was not overly loud and I was able to enjoy the music and also converse with my forever date.

Great experience. Delicious food, the wife was very happy.

Good food, slightly pricey, but servings were large. Older crowd. Jazz guitarist and vocalist duo on Friday night. Service seemed inconsistent server to server (some tables offered fresh ground pepper, others weren’t; Some tables had to box their own leftovers, others didn’t). Very attentive management checking on tables

Food was amazing!

Personable service. Excellent food served quickly.

Great time and good food.

Great service, even though they were packed. The live music was nice and not too loud, can still have a conversation without raising your voice.

Ordered Calamari as an appetizer and it was out within 2 minutes which usually means it was rushed. Very greasy and lacked flavor

There was not one thing we would change at this place. Lobster bisque was perfect, lobster roll was also. I didn't even get to try the Carpaccio it was gone so fast, chicken and pasta was fantastic as well. Staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not go here.

I had the salmon - was very good. Husband had the Bacon Jam Burger and he loved it. We also had the chocolate mousse which was heavenly.

Loved it! Great food and atmosphere. Definitely coming back again.

Another wonderful meal!!

Waitstaff super chatty with table next to us. Both distracting to us and unattentive. Had to ask for coffee with our dessert. Dessert tart was overcooked...like a rock. Panacotta was grainy. Appetizers and main were good.

We choose to order from the Prix Fix menu, proved to be an excellent decision. Wine was surprisingly good considering it was part of the deal! The soup, tomato basil bisque was very flavorful and the portion on the entree was more than expected. Meal was delicious, will most definitely return. Service was stellar too!
