Nestled along Narragansett Bay, this upscale tavern serves delectable New England seafood, hearty pizzas, and pastas in a lively setting with stunning views.
Went on a Monday night, was pretty busy - we had a reservation for the deck - it was the perfect temp. Started with drinks and the cheese board. I had the fish & chips, another person had the bolognese, a burger and a fish dinner rounded out the meal. We were able to chat - with soft music in the background. Service was excellent- slightly slow to get started but then was fine. Definitely would eat here again.

It was our first time here. We stopped in for lunch. Our waitress Marissa was awesome. Very attentive and friendly. We started with the French onion soup, it had to be one of the best I’ve had. Not too salty. The onions, bread and cheese melted together into a satisfying spoon full. Just what I needed on a rainy day.
The shaved steak sandwich with au jus was packed with the most tender thin slices of steak. Dipped in the au jus, melts in your mouth. The burger with bacon and bacon jam was tasty too. Just the right size and their fries were good too!
I highly recommend this place! In fact, it’s a rainy day here in Rhode Island we are going back there for dinner!!!
We came back for dinner but still full from lunch. We stuck with appetizers. They did not disappoint. Their crab cakes were moist and flavorful. We ate two orders! Our waiter Cole was spectacular!! Ask for his section. Their dessert are house made. We tried the cheesecake cake special. OUR OF THIS WORLD!!! Hats off to their pastry chef!!!

Top notch service from our waiter. Very engaging and attentive. The clam chowder was good. The fig and prosciutto pizza was good, big flavor profile - could use a little less fig jam or more goat cheese as some pieces were a little too sweet. The chicken pesto pizza had big bold savory flavor and was a great compliment to the other pizza.

Our server Aidan was absolutely excellent and went above and beyond tonight. If the review was based on him alone, the review would be a 5+. He was extremely attentive and let us know ahead of time that there might be a delay in the orders. We didn't get any bread with our waters. He fired our order at the same time because of the backup in the kitchen. He came over to our table 3 times and every time he apologized for the delay. The last time he told us it was an hour and 1 minute and asked if the manager, Jordan had come over to our table yet. He had not. Minutes later Jordan surfaced with our food. We were only caring about our 9 year old getting something to eat, not us. We were going to use our rewards for part of tonight's meal, but opted not to use them. My wife is a reward member with the Newport Restaurant Group which owns Trio Kitchen + Bar. We gladly offered to pay for what we had already eaten(apps, and beverages). Thank you for comping the 3 entrees which were great. The entrees we the Elizabeth scallops, Margherita Pizza and Linguine with clams. In the end it seemed like all of the tables on the patio (which is where we sat) was and their meals were put on the back burner, while (again it seemed like) the food was coming out in record time in the main dining room. Thank God for the Wick Stixx that not only kept our daughter busy, but us too. Also it was my first time at Trio and for Father's Day too. I was assured the food and ambience were second to none. Also they should've put patio heaters on early as it's quite chilly on the patio.

The staff at TRIO was awesome! I can't say enough great things about them. The customer service was top notch! I'm not a big fan of seafood, but wanted to try it from a place on the east coast. They were more than supportive! I highly recommend this restaurant. 👌

Best food I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Exquisite and tasteful combination of flavors.
Eating here was a highlight of my Newport trip, we even came twice. Such a shame I live 3 hours away!

Went to Trio for our anniversary dinner. It was absolutely wonderful. Missed taking a pic of the mushroom bruschetta because we devoured it way too fast. The drinks were good, the pork shank was amazing, salmon was really good, creme Brule was perfect. I'm falling asleep very happy and very full. Complementary champagne for our anniversary... thanks so much!

Prompt and friendly service (good job, Emily!) with helpful recommendations when asked. Johnny cakes were delicious. Chopped salad was perfectly balanced with super crispy pancetta.
Steak frittes had the best fries I've ever had. The steak was ordered medium but came out medium well for the center portion and well done on the outer portions, still very good, though.
My guess is they would've fired another one if we mentioned anything, but we only do that if the entire steak is improperly cooked by a significant amount.
Summer squash pizza was fantastic. Even the crust on the edges was worth devouring.
Finished up with the dulce de leche cake. It was not long for this earth... so good.
Only area for improvement was the cook on the steak, but again, not a big enough issue to send it back, and if i had, I bet they would've taken care of it. Will be sure to make this a regular for our annual trip to Narragansett. Wish we found it earlier!
Edit: back again, July 8, 2020. Still amazing.
