Overall vibe was great, but entrees were not worth it. I ordered a medium rare steak and it came out beyond rare. I expect a place like this to do better. I suggest coming just for drinks and appetizers. The Scotch Egg did not disappoint.

It was my birthday dinner this time!. As always a superb meal from the chef! My steak frites was perfectly cooked as I wanted. The meat selection was exceptional. Cut like "butta"! The fries were great as well. :-) My wife had the roasted vegetable platter as she is Vegan. She enjoyed it very much. Hat off to the bartender who made the cocktails. They were delicious. Our server, I apologize I forgot her name. She did an outstanding job! She was attentive, polite and informative especially for my wife's dietary concerns. We are local and look forward to another amazing meal with White Horse Tavern! Respectfully, Josh and Lisa Read

Over priced. Way over priced. The food was good - Not exceptional. For the prices they charge it should be exceptional. If you want to pay double for the atmosphere, try it once. Then there is really no point in repeating it. There are plenty of places in Newport for really fine food, at reasonable prices. And that's on top of $20 - $25 parking.

Outstanding. We enjoyed perfect cocktails, a scotch egg, and beef Wellington. A superb waiter and a lovely experience. The girl who abruptly appeared out of nowhere to drop off the check was a bit impatient, but overall a wonderful restaurant.
