With panoramic views overlooking the Newport Harbor, 22 Bowen’s encompasses a casual-chic atmosphere. Excellent service enhances meals on the wraparound deck or inside the bustling yet cozy main dining area. Across the cobblestone path on the wharf's other side sits Portside, a seasonal bar that offers refreshing cocktails and bar snacks during summer months.

Beloved by Newport weekenders and locals for breakfast and brunch, this spot on the water offers beautiful outdoor dining and delicious fare. Even New Yorkers rave about the lox bagels.

Situated on the bustling Bannister’s Wharf, this waterfront-dock-turned-fine-dining establishment is known for its award-wining New England Clam Chowder. Sip on a cocktail and people-watch at the outdoor patio bar or enjoy freshly caught lobster tail and Nantucket Bay scallops inside The Commodore’s Room. For a more casual ambiance, snag a table at the Tavern.

Though he now calls New England home, Chef Karsten Hart originally hails from New Orleans and grew up with one German and one Italian parent. Hart's menu emphasizes seafood and many dishes, such as the fluke and lobster etouffee and a delicious muffaletta, celebrate his background.

The best dishes on the menu are the double-stuffed lobster roll, steamed littleneck clams and Jonah crab stuffed quahogs. The Dining Room and Lawn have the same menus, but very different atmospheres. Whereas the Dining Room is more formal and popular with an older crowd, during the summer months, the Lawn is the place to be, overlooking the water and a lawn covered with white Adirondack chairs.
