The 15 Best Restaurants In Newport, Rhode Island 2024
"Clarke Cooke House is the type of place where you’ll find couples taking a break from their yacht, CEOs power lunching in the downstairs dining room, and a summertime-only sushi bar overlooking said yachts moored nearby. There’s a lot happening, but prioritize a table upstairs where you’ll get a more expansive view of the harbor and a pricey-but-excellent meal. While this is the place for classic Newport-style food like local oysters, lobster, and native cod, the steak au poivre or sauteed filet of sole with caramelized onions and fancy French brown butter won’t disappoint either. Whatever you do, don’t miss their signature dessert: the snowball from hell. Big enough for two, it’s ice cream served in a chocolate-coated goblet and drizzled in chocolate syrup." - danielle rose
