Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Newport

We brought my brother and sister-in-law here for the first time on 2/15/25. Our server Merrick (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Phenomenal dinner, food came out quickly and was delicious. The guys got whole chickens and my sister in law got the chicken sandwich. We ordered fries, spoon bread, succotash, horseradish mashed potatoes, shrimps and grit and macaroni and cheese. We had a lot left over but they wanted to try everything. Last night, the shrimps and grits stole the show though, 10/10! Our only issue, I hate to mention it because we had such a wonderful time but since I am deaf in one ear I feel it may be helpful to someone else; we were seated under a speaker and the music was so loud. So if you’re going and you have hearing issues, maybe ask not to be seated close to where their speakers are. Highly recommend if you love quick, efficient service and pipin hot, yummy food!

Had a Valentine Day reservation for 8:30pm and arrived early. Waited about 10 minutes and was seated closed to 830pm. We had our drink order taken within 5 minutes of bein seated. We order off the Valentine Day menu and I order the 14 oz New York strip medium well and my wife ordered the barrel cut filet medium. The food came out prompt and the steak had great flavor. We also order 2 cakes (6 inches in diameter) chocolate and strawberry.

Took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day and our waiter ham, yes that’s his name ham, was polite funny and a overall great person, food was incredibly good , best steak fajita tacos I’ve had and we will definitely coming back

We did an early Valentines date night here and had amazing service and food! You know going into a Jeff Ruby experience that the prices will be high so expectations match that. The food was good, similar to the other locations and so nothing stood out to me as unique. My only dislike was the bar area. Not the fact that it was crowded just the overall setup made it incredibly difficult for anyone to hang out and grab a drink while guests were waiting for tables. The hallway being crowded made it difficult for wait staff to get through so I felt bad for them. But everyone from waiter to valet was kind, attentive and conversational. Really appreciate that!!

We are so glad we discovered this absolute Gem in Cincinnati. The food was amazing, the wine list impressive and the best part - the prices are the best value I have seen in a first class restaurant in a long time! The food and wine are priced well below the market trends I have found in other restaurants if this caliber. To top it off, our Server Morgan was incredible! We also had the pleasure of meeting Dan, our host who was extremely gracious. Our only regret was not finding this restaurant sooner. We will be back - and often!
