Our server Natasha was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. She made our anniversary dinner so special! The food was delicious and we had a gorgeous seat by the window to enjoy the sunset. A little chilly!!

Great jazz sound track enhanced our experience at the new fine dining restaurant in the re-done resort on Goat Island. 1639 (named for when Newport was founded) has beautiful views of boats passing on the harbor and of the Point neighborhood's historic houses. It's pricy, but you're paying for the views as well as the very good food. We dined indoors as the outdoor part was taken over by a private party, and enjoyed a beets and herb salad, the smoked duck entree and the striped bass entree. and the fresh fruit pannacotta (which we would have enjoyed more if it wasn't tiny and priced at $18). There's another eatery called the Torpedo Bar and Lounge on the other side of the resort which faces the bridge and bay on the other side, is more casual, and slightly less expensive. 1639 seems to just be getting geared up, as it was only open Friday and Saturday when we were there. The renovation of the hotel has resulted in fun updated entertainment spaces.

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.
