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.

Important Notes: Reservations are held for 15 minutes beyond the scheduled arrival time, and during peak service hours you may not be seated until your entire party has arrived. Once your party is assembled, we will offer you the next available table for a party of your size. Also, we do our utmost to accommodate all guest requests upon check-in, but unfortunately cannot guarantee any particular seating preferences.

    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.

    The solarium was beautiful; however, the staff does not chose music that fits the setting. Soft classical or instrumental music would suit the setting perfectly, but they played something too contemporary and loud. It took away from an otherwise wonderful experience.
