"Fluke is on the more refined and pricey end of the dining experiences to be had in Newport, but worth it for a special occasion. Aside from the many fresh seafood options (try the fluke, obviously) there are plenty of inventive vegetable dishes like the fava bean farrotto and pea shoot salad, all made with local ingredients. Owners and best friends Geremie and Jeff have built a stellar booze list of artisan wines and cold-pressed juice cocktails that you won't find anywhere else in town. "

From the start a WARM GREETING from owners Jeff & Geremie Cocktails Creative, Appitizers Fried Oysters and Cold Corn Soup set the mood with their Crispy Texture and Sauce providing nice heat, the Corn Soup offered a Sweet & Creamie balance with a Remarkable Finish with a Smear of Basil Oil. Entrees came and the Celebration became Center Stage starting with Perfectly Grilled Black Sea Bass & Lemon Curd, Arugula Pesto Risotto Wild Caught Shrimp. Mussels & Scallops, then my dish the Seared Sea Scallops with Pillowy Hand Cut Gnocchi with their Melt in your Mouth Texture was Heavenly. A Perfect Meal for a Perfect Evening. Our first day in Newport for our short 3 Day Excursion the Bar was set high for our next few days of Dinning. 🍸🍷🍽

Amazing staff! The wine list is extensive but they'll give you great recommendations and then let you try before you buy. Even just the different types of appetizer bread were scrumptious and the food was equally as lovely. Great atmosphere, and easy location on the wharf

In addition to being one of Newport's great fine dining restaurants, Fluke happens to be the place to get an amazing cocktail.

We came to visit Newport for the weekend, and searched for a good restaurant, we walked by Tiki and loved the menu. The food was delicious. Alex took care of us and he was great, the ambience was relaxing not too crowded. Highly recommend.

came here randomly and specifically for their happy hour buck and shuck. we were seated quickly outdoors but then soon forgotten by our waitress. we waited 15+ minutes for our waitress who was serving other tables (we understand it's busy and there was an influx of people) but to stop by the table next to us asking if they're okay and needed anything and then not even look our direction was crazy. the host or manager had to end up stepping in and taking our order because even he noticed the long wait times for our table specifically . the food was good, the oysters were fresh. the sampler platter was good, worth the money. the fried rice with chicken teriyaki was okay, probably should of picked a different protein lol. the calamari was definitely the best thing we ordered tho! then in the middle of eating another waitress came over and asked if we wanted an additional dozen of oysters and we said sure - we went through our whole meal (at least 30 mins) and assumed they forgot about it (and our waitress didn't come by either) and decided to just grab the bill. when we saw a charge of an additional 12 oysters we notified our waitress. at this point our bellies were stuffed and the plates had our garbage on them already - it was extremely clear we were done eating. our waitress then decided to come with the extra order and then we told her we didn't want them anymore considering it's been 30+ mins since we ordered. she looked at us like we had two head lmao. truth is the food is good but the service was subpar, I know it's busy but customer service definitely matters

Absolutely loved it here. First off, it has such a fun tiki vibe and really nice views over the wharf. Service was good and the menu had a lot of tasty options. We shared several dishes including poke tuna tacos, blackened mahi mahi tacos, crab and corn rangoons, Thai salad, calamari, and grilled giant tiger prawns. Everything was wonderful! Really and truly we didn't have a single complaint across the board. We also sampled a couple fun cocktails and they were excellent and served in the most fun cups/glasses/bowls. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more regularly but I will definitely plan to return during weekend visits to Newport.

I had the best time at this place! My boyfriend and I were walking around the Wharf to see where we could hang out and get some drinks, and we stumbled across the upstairs bar which was so inviting! our bartender, Olivia, was seriously the best! she was so kind and fun, and just really elevated our whole experience - she is the perfect example of amazing hospitality! My boyfriend and I got an assortment of drinks and each time they came out great. this is definitely the spot to be!

Came here tonight. Waited several minutes , only one staff and he didnt acknowledge us right away. Ordered drinks and food. I had the mai tai which was great, my mom had smoked pineapple drink and didn't care for it. Too smokey. Ordered calamari with toasted brussel sprouts that didn't realize was in there. Crab and corn ragoons-were decent. And the Hawaiian sliders with fried spam. Overall food was decent, but service left much to be desired, even if it was a Monday night at 8pm.

Prime "interior" location on Bowens Wharf (no water views). Very nice ambiance as we sat on their mostly shaded porch. We were drawn by the tiki theme and their dollar oysters so we stopped there in the middle of the afternoon. It was August so lots of like-minded souls there. Did not disappoint - we enjoyed the Mystic oysters (almost a hundred of them!) and our several rounds of drinks. Weather was great and we had a nice table by the railing. Service was great. The only thing we did not like was their calamari - not crispy at all. But that won't keep us from returning next time in Newport as all the other apps we tried were delicious and we had a great time at The Wharf.

This restaurant was a great budget friendly lunch option in Newport with a beautiful interior and patio seating. The service was great, we were a group of three and we only ordered two appetizers but we were still treated really nicely. The tuna bites in the spoons were okay, a little heavy on the soy sauce but the fish itself tasted pretty fresh. The wonton nachos were also good but again a little too salty.

Stopped by to get some drinks with friends who enjoy tiki bars. We sat upstairs and it had nice seating and was fairly quiet. The staff was great, they got us our drinks fairly quickly. One of my friends realized their drink only contained alcohol so the bartender took it back to add the ginger beer that was missing.

No complaints about the the taste of the food, it was all very good. The drinks were all good too. Missing a picture of the pineapple pina colada. The downside is you are paying the lease to be on Bowens Wharf. Two apps, 1 meal and 4 drinks were about $130 and the portions are a bit on the small side. That's the only reason it's 4 stars.

I loved everything about this place. The vibes are so cool. The bartender Liam made it amazing. He was funny and really friendly, I stopped by for a drink with my family and he got them a snack and pink lemonade. Thank you again for taking care of my family and making it such a great spot.

A rum based tiki bar with fantastic food! Caribbean themed music in the background of a 6 seated bar. Wednesdays $1 dumplings all night in the winter ...they had buffalo cauliflower, mahi/shrimp, and Thai duck. All were very good! Dumpling flavors change weekly and are only served on Wednesday. $1 oysters 4:00-5:30 Wednesdays - Friday Garnished with a side of cocktail sauce and lemon. Service was excellent, food came out quick and the drinks are very creative, flavorful, and come in some cool cups.

The Pu Pu Platter was literally one of the best things I've ever eaten, seriously. Like lowkey life changing. The Won Nachos were pretty good, even better with the cooked pineapple on the side. Will most definitely be back when we come back to Newport. Good vibes, cool venue, & just excellent food.

Affordable food in Newport! Mahi mahi was really good. We also ordered the Brussel sprouts which were good Really friendly service. Steep stairs to get up.

Great fish dinners with an Asian flair.Mahi Mahi skewers with red onions peppers and tomatoes on citrus rice was perfect. Swordfish tacos with fries were cooked lightly breaded and so good.

A new place for me and my wife. We used to go here when it was Flukes. They created a cool space (tiki bar) on the 2nd floor. It was very nicely decorated, and they served drinks in really nice tiki glasses. Our bartender was very pleasant. Her drinks were outstanding. I had the Death on the afternoon and Sailors Beware. I would recommend these if you like strong drinks. My wife had the Isle of Forgotten Sins and Cobra Woman. The food was very good. We started with three types of dumplings stuffed with spiced beef, salmon, and veggies. They were great! My wife followed with the Mahi-Mahi sandwich, and I had the Mahi-Mahi skewers. The fish was cooked well and flavorful. The french fries were crispy and were a good accompaniment. We had a great time! You should try this place when in Newport.

Strange little fusion place we decided to dine at while in Rhode Island. Hawaiian. Check. Asian check. American check. Dark and fast food? Check. Some of the items a little too sweet for my taste, but that's what tiki is all about?

Great spot with a nice view. The service was awesome. Our server was friendly and had good recommendations. We opted for a few apps and were not disappointed. The calamari dish was so full of flavor. We loved the Brussel sprouts. The prawns were delicious with a large serving of spicy rice. The nachos were gone first. Cheesy and delicious. We would definitely return.

Stopped in for after dinner drinks and the bartender made it a super fun experience with his charm, masterful mixology and fun tiki glasses (drinking Prosecco and mixes out of pigs and cobras)

The ambiance and service were good but they can't make up for horrific food. Ordered: Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were chopped pieces vs whole. Both my wife and I had one. Looking at the menu now, doesn't say chopped oysters anywhere in the description. And the taste was bad. This is easily the worst Oysters Rockefeller I've ever had. Coconut Shrimp. Very over cooked and over battered. Again, worst Coconut shrimp I've ever had. Hawaiian sliders with Fries. Terrible sliders and the fries were cold and overcooked. Obviously, wouldn't go back again.

A fun change of pace ! Like an hour- long Hawaiian vacation... We sat at the bar and our bartender Christian was great! Recommended the best cocktails, I loved the "Death in the Afternoon" cocktail without the floater. It wasn't too sweet, great lime-y citrus flavor. Enjoyed the pu pu platter especially the crab rangoons and those little ribs with the teriyaki sauce

Such an underrated tiki spot! For appetizers we started off with the nachos and the calamari. All of them were eaten super quickly by us as they were delicious. Next up was a variety of tiki drinks off their menu we ordered. Heavy pours so you get your money's worth, and also equally delicious! The drinks were poured in these hilarious and adorable cups (one cup shaped like a unicorn floatie, the other like a pig, another in a snake shaped cup). Spot was super cute and we will for sure return!

Came on the 5th of July to Newport and nearly every single restaurant/bar on Bowen's Wharf was either at capacity, full or not pet friendly. We saw this place and arrived at the perfect time- because by the time we started eating this restaurant was also pretty fully booked. First Thoughts: tables were somewhat close together, it was loud AF inside, and it's small but it does have 3 floors, however not really an outdoor sitting area! But what they lack in space they make up for in taste! We were soooo pleasantly surprised at the food and drinks! We got shrimp cocktail- which was fresh and delicious! We also ordered crab Rangoon- which everyone devoured! They had a great drink menu- I was really surprised by the presentation of the amazing drinks- which were as delicious as they look! The entrees were also really good! I was pleasantly surprised to learn this was a new restaurant and The only "TIKI" type bar in Newport! Our waiter was a quintessential "Newport" Waiter- who was friendly, cool, easy to look at & definitely fit right in with the general laid back vibe! He was attentive and funny and we all really enjoyed him serving us! So I would definitely return here- but watch out for the dinner rush- if you can get in here right before- then I would definitely recommend that- cuz as soon as we were seated the entire place filled up! 5/5 stars- we will definitely be back!

Menu is very limited. Coconut shrimp was overcooked and had very little coconut . The liquor at the bar does not have much of a selection. Overall very disappointed.

The best oysters in after 3 o'clock an oyster for a buck is a great deal and I bartender Liam was a pleasure we came back two days in, he knows how to make tropical drinks to order! Kudos to management for the best service in town!

Liam is the best bartender ever, I come back every time because of his service. He always welcomes us in and makes sure we get the tiki experience. I'm gonna come back again because of Liam. Made the best strawberry daquiri and had a grand old time with him. Credit to the tiki bar experience

Food is delicious, the service is outstanding! We ordered smashed cucumber salad and sweet and sour shrimp &chicken . Plenty food for 2 people.

Food tasted ok. ridiculously small portions, barely enough to share, and overpriced. Service and the Tiki drinks were good. We had the prawns(3 med size), dumplings, mahi mahi skewers. (3 short skewers) The Mahi Mahi pieces were so small you could hardly taste it. (Dime size). We won't be back.

Food was yummy. Drinks were strong. Ambiance was relaxing. Staff was friendly. They even offer their whole menu gluten free, which I may be ordering from the next time I go to Newport. Will definitely come here again!

Don't order the mai tai. It's offensive. Just kidding. The drink were awesome. Great creative recipes. The mahi mahi tacos were great. The coconut shrimp is awesome and with a good kick! Celia the bartender is amazing. Handled the busy upstairs bar like a champ. Plus she hooked up a great group of nurses with some awesome service and a nightcap! Get here.

We came for a private event. The service was excellent, the food was really tasty, and the vibe was great. I loved the layout of the place and it was a great place for a party. The brussel sprouts and the sliders were fantastic.

Working with Wharf Fishhouse for our June 2024 Wedding Welcome party was a great experience! The space is really easy but still cozy-feeling to host events in, and they were extremely easy to to work with and accommodating about the menu we wanted/the drink set up so all our guests could enjoy themselves! We wanted the focus to be on the tiki drinks, since we are huge tiki fans, and they delivered with signature drinks and signature mocktail for us, and all our guests loved it! We also had apps, a fried rice station and a dessert station; everyone loved the food! Communication/planning before the event was very smooth; the management team were really thoughtful in planning, asking for little details to keep in mind to help manage the event for us and even playing a tiki themed playlist we'd made/passing out leis to guests per our request. The restaurant was working on adding a deck when we were in planning, and they were flexible on the cost given this; ultimately they were able to give us a better deal cost-wise because the deck was not ready by the time of our event. Knowing that was a moving target leading up to to the welcome party I really appreciated how they made a point to over-communicate with us about the status of the deck, and were flexible on final pricing accordingly! Our guests loved the tiki drinks and the atmosphere; it was a well-managed, delicious, creative and fun way to kick off our wedding weekend! We will be back for sure to relive the memories!!!

This was the most pleasantly unexpected meal of our trip to Newport this year. First, the service was outstanding. On a Sunday night with a waitress and host only, the place ran seamlessly with a full room. The food was something truly unique. The Island Fried Rice was phenomenal, as were the ribs. Even something as simple as the mango salad had a wonderful spin. We truly cleared every plate. (P.s. they have a specific Gluten Free menu if you need it - just ask!) And finally the beverage program was excellent. My wife enjoyed her two house cocktails thoroughly, and the non-alcoholic options were two of the best zero-proof cocktails I've had in the past year. All super tasty and well balanced. Highly recommend this joint all around!! Look forward to returning next trip back! P.s. while the view isn't directly on the water, the view from the dining room of the wharf is a nice experience. However, if the top floor is open, the best views would 100% be from atop.

I wanted to enjoy this place so bad, but it was pretty bad. The decor was charming and the service was great, but the food...... awful flavor combinations, most dishes lacking seasoning or salt, and the textures were weird.

This is a great place for tasty food and rum cocktails! It's like a New England clam shack in the Caribbean. I had a painkiller cocktail and the fish and chip bites, the fried whole belly clams were so fresh and crispy. The sweet and sour Brussels so so good. Great service and lively tropical decor!

Jose B.

Yelp
Service and staff are great! However, the food was not what I was expecting for the price that it was at. Small plates, high prices, for food that tastes like it came out of a freezer. The banana fritters were good and the tiki cups are cute. If you're going there solely for the ambiance or drinks then it will be worth it.

Ewww... the food was awful. I don't understand why it got such great reviews for it. Got the yellow tuna tartare and it tasted so bland that I almost couldn't finish the small amount. The grilled tuna dinner wasn't good from what I was told from one of my guests. Ordered a bunch of apps and dinners and overall was meh. Will try again since it's new and maybe they were off with us. At least the drinks were good, hence the extra star.

Staff was working hard to accommodate our party of 7. They have a good menu and drink selections. It's not all seafood they have other meat options as well as vegetarian options. Would definitely return, but maybe not on a weekend.

We came down for the weekend from Massachusetts, looking for a nice spot to have a nice drink in the winter season in Newport. Did not expect TIKI!! My wife and I have always been a fan of Diego's, had no idea they could translate to tiki so well. The atmosphere inside is incredible! Island style art, lights, top shelf rums. The food was straight of Polynesia as well. Island fried rice with pork belly was exquisite. The crab and corn rangoons and mahi mahi tacos are also incredible. But the drinks and service are what really sell this place. We sat at the bar and our bartender Dan was awesome!! He helped us navigate the complicated tiki drink menu, and ended up making us a fruity rum drink in a pig glass, AND one in a shark glass. Dan was great, explaining the drinks and even giving us other places to go in Newport. He also told us about an upcoming deck expansion to the fish house! Would definitely recommend going in while it's still a hidden gem!

While the manager did remove my meal and beverage from the bill, it was truly one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. We were seated pretty quickly but sat there for nearly twenty minutes before our drink orders were taken. We then waited for nearly another fifteen minutes for a round of sodas, one wine and one mixed drink. The menu items are not clearly described. I requested no egg for my meal and yes- the fried egg was left off- but there was egg mixed into the meal. The children's sliders came out with lettuce, sauce and bacon- none of these mentioned on the menu. Would not recommend unless you have all afternoon for a meal.

This place does not treat their customers well, especially if someone comes in and has a headache due to not having eaten all day. They falsely and fraudulently accuse people of being intoxicated and try to throw them out. I would not go here again. The manager of this place engaged in poor customer service, absolute incompetence, and possibly negligent behavior and should be sent to be trained properly.

We were excited to try this new restaurant created by the group that runs Diego's and the Wharf Southern Kitchen. We started with with the Crab Rangoons, the Oysters Rockefeller, and the Whole Belly Clams. Portions are tapas size and great for sharing. There were four of us so after enjoying our first round of food we ordered the Sriracha Chicken Skewers, the Mahi Mahi Sliders, and the Fried Chicken Sliders. We then finished up withe delicious Banana Fritters. I must say everything was delicious. Service was great and the manager was extremely welcoming. Their drink menu is alsu great and all drinks are served in unique and funky glasses and Tiki cups. Definitely a resturant worth visiting and even more fun with another couple or two so you can share all the items you will want to try.
