My wife and I moved here to Newport in 2021 from Philadelphia area of PA. We dined here over 3 years ago, & it was a terrible experience. Since the new management (Davidson I believe) took over & the ongoing renovations from inside out, it seems they’re changing everything for the better at this beautiful location. We could not have asked for a better experience today at the Easter Buffet. The manager at the door was extremely accommodating and spent some time updating us about the great changes. Our adorable and efficient waitress, Brittany, made us feel special. The chef even came out to answer our questions about the food. Can’t wait until the weekend dining opens up & the outside deck experience of course. We will be suggesting “1639” to all our friends in Newport, as well as those who visit us. Thank you.

We had Easter brunch here and it was absolutely outstanding. Everything was both beautiful and delicious. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting from out of town.

Food was great as was the service. However, there was a limited selection of wine options and no cocktail menu. In addition, it would be nice to have complimentary bread or crackers at the start of our dining experience.

Food was incredible. Service was meh. My wine glass came over with wine all over the bottom so I had to clean it myself. Then our waiter did not come back over to get us more drinks until we flagged down another waiter. He was nowhere to be found the majority of our meal

We won’t go Back We’ve been coming here through all its iterations, starting with Scarletta, then Sail Fish, and now 1639. I was looking forward to this newest version because the location is great. But the place had low energy, foreign service that was unfamiliar with the menu, blah food, no wine menu, and overall mediocre experience. We won’t go back. Their prices are on the extreme upper level, but unwarranted as the food was barely okay. I don’t recommend.
