    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.

    I loved our experience at The White Horse Tavern. I enjoyed the beef Wellington and my sister liked the lobster ravioli. We’ve wanted to come for some time, given its history and ambiance. The server was excellent too.

    We overheard two other servers explain the menu in more detail as well as specials. Although our server was fine since overhearing others go into such detail it made our personal experience feel a little lacking.
