Pull back the portico curtains and step into the historic downtown Newport mansion once owned by businessman Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt that has been reimagined as a glamorous social hub with a culinary secret to discover at every turn. From an intimate dining room with an intriguing menu of savory local dishes to the sun-dappled Conservatory and dining al fresco in The Garden, the dining scene at The Vanderbilt is crackling with alluring eccentricities just waiting to be explored.

    Excellent cuisines served by a friendly and attentive staff. My waiter was Sean, who was excellent. The ambience was quite swank. And, I had to skip dessert to attend a nearby concert, so they arranged for an after hours delivery to my room of their fabulous flourless chocolate cake, “Chocolate Nemesis.” Much appreciated!

    We had a great time at the restaurant celebrating my husbands 40th. We absolutely loved our table next to the cozy fireplace and the server was so kind to offer us a complimentary glass of bubbles to start our meal. Tiffany was very sweet and professional. We shared the froie gras and ribeye for two and both were outstanding!

    Beautiful dining room with fireplace roaring and elegant atmosphere. Staff wearing jeans and collared shirts like a Ralph Lauren ad campaign. Great place for a special celebration. The menu is classic, good presentation, too expensive for what is delivered. Still, we will return.

    We had an amazing meal at the Vanderbilt! The bartenders and wait staff were friendly and attentive. We even learned the history behind the building. Food was delicious and well worth the price. We’re excited to come back soon for another special occasion!
