   The last time I dined at White Horse Tavern was in 1985 on my honeymoon. Since that time, our country has gone through political crises...one after another, impeachment procedures, 9/11 and a two-year global pandemic. Through it all, the nation's oldest tavern still stands, and is still serving excellent fare. Personally, my marriage ended after 30 years, but I wanted to make new memories with a dear friend at The White Horse, and thankfully, our expectations were fulfilled. The authenticity of the tavern continues to be a highlight of a visit to Newport if what you are looking for is wonderful food served in a historical venue. Although the decor may date back to the 1600's, the menu is not only current, but also inventive, all while remaining true to its local roots. We started with the Lobster Bisque, which I am certain has been on the menu since the day it opened. It was followed by a lovely spinach and farro salad with toasted almonds, mint and champagne vinaigrette and Crispy Pork Belly which was served with Soy-Caramel Brussels. We both couldn't pass up the Beef Wellington, and were NOT disappointed. Absolutely delicious! I was in New York last month and found that so many restaurants had fallen to the pandemic. SO thankful that The White Horse still stands and is flourishing after over 300 years!

   The food was AMAZING, we had the Beef Wellington and the Crispy Duck. The service was good, met some nice people and had good conversation. It was very quiet which was nice!

   Local fresh halibut had the life and taste cooked out of it. Really unforgivable. The waitress offered to have the cook send another piece. I did not have confidence that it would make any difference after tasting my wife’s chicken. It was just as dry as the fish. I appreciate the charm of the antique tavern but it could use a thorough cleaning.

   We have been coming here about once every 5 years since 1989. Great ambiance, good service. The food was always very solid. This time the snails were over cooked, poorly seasoned, had breadcrumbs! and poor presentation. The duck was also over cooked, the plating was haphazard and had an orange sauce all over it that looked like cheese whiz which was extremely unappealing (but in fact the "sauce" was very good), it just would have helped if it was underneath the entry. The RI clam chowder was great. The scallops were good but again suffered from confused plating. Will return for atmosphere w/ lower food expectations and maybe go back to ordering the Beef Wellington

    We celebrated our 25th anniversary at White Horse Tavern yesterday while on vacation with our college-age son. Service was gracious and our meals (appetizers including crab cake, Rhode Island clam chowder, and fried halloumi; and entrees including faro risotto with scallops, crispy duck, and pan-seared scallops) were excellent, with a beautiful presentation. For dessert we shared the Tavern Candy Bar, a coconut ice cream and chocolate treat that was lighter than it sounds. We had a wonderful evening.

    Worth the money & the historical visit. Had dinner early (4:30p), parking not a problem. Ambiance elegant, quiet. Can't comment on later dinner atmosphere. Prompt service, bartender on point with a variety of drinks (the smoky Old Fashioned required another round). Ordered the catch-of-the-day Halibut, RI clam chowdah, steak fries, beef wellington & lobster ravioli. All were quite tasty but the ravioli seemed overwhelmed w/too much sherry cream. Unfortunately didn't have room for dessert. Overall, a neat historical place to have a nice intimate meal for a reasonable price ($280 for a party of 4 WITH drinks). Can't wait to visit again.

    There is just something too charming about dining in such a treasured establishment! Our experience was a little rushed, but we had a lovely evening. First, we were surprised with a complimentary glass of bubbly because it was our anniversary. The Duck Scotch Egg was a delight, as was the escargot. We had the beef Wellingtons which were delicious, although I never did find the foie gras in there—lol. We enjoyed a bottle of wine which was reasonably priced and delicious. Nice relaxed atmosphere in general—although as I said, each course came very quickly. We could have spent a little more time and savored the history—and our wine!

    Fabulous experience- our waiter James was excellent and very attentive. The scotch egg, beef Wellington, duck breast and toffee bread pudding were all really good and would definitely order these again. The crispy halloumi was the only let down. We were worried it might be a tourist trap but it wasn’t and was a really memorable experience. Would highly recommend. Great night. We were not rushed at all and were there for 2.5 hours, the music and ambiance was great.

    We decided last minute to stop in for an early dinner. We went to the bar for a cocktail first and the bartender was so pleasant and knowledgeable about the different spirits. Drinks were delicious. When our table was ready, we were seated near the fireplace in the main dining area. It was so quiet and the waiter was immediately attentive. The food was perfectly prepared and we were so pleased with the service and food.
