The new renovated experience was wonderful (priced well for tickets). For those who ask can we play on grass? The answer is Yes, $250 an hour and must be dressed in white tennis gear. I respect the price and formality, however it would also be neat to have a general experience (adults and kids) set up without all the formality -- come as you are with a few hits. Do like that you can in the general area without paying. Well done!

The Breakers – A Dream for Gilded Age Fans For anyone who loves the Gilded Age or is fascinated by that era’s elegance and grandeur, The Breakers is an absolute must-see. The moment you walk through the gates, you feel like you’ve stepped straight into another world — one filled with history, beauty, and unapologetic luxury. Everything here is so well-organized: from the thoughtful visitor flow to the detailed explanations and perfectly preserved interiors. The house itself is simply magnificent — every room tells a story. The grand staircase takes your breath away, the ocean-view terrace is pure magic, and the bedrooms are both opulent and full of charm. And oh, the kitchen! It’s enormous, full of fascinating details, and somehow feels alive, as if it’s still ready to host a grand dinner for the Vanderbilt family. You can spend hours here, admiring the craftsmanship, imagining the parties, and feeling the spirit of the age. The views of the Atlantic are spectacular, and the whole place carries this wonderful mix of nostalgia and splendor. If you’re even a little curious about the Gilded Age, make sure to plan a visit — it’s an unforgettable experience that truly brings history to life.

We had a beautiful family picnic at Fort Adams State Park and absolutely loved it! The open green space was perfect for the kids to run around and fly kites, and the ocean views made the whole experience feel so peaceful and refreshing. It’s a great mix of natural beauty and open space, and everything felt clean and safe. The fresh air, calm surroundings, and family-friendly vibe made it a memorable outing. Parking was easy, and the walking paths are well-maintained. Definitely a must, visit if you’re in Newport!

The Marble House is breathtaking. The design and craftsmanship are unreal. You must do the audio tour because it brings the entire experience to life with fascinating stories and history. Every room was more impressive than the last. A true masterpiece in Newport. Definitely worth every minute.

Legendary wharf in Newport This is why you really come to Newport. This part of town is really nice full of shops & cafes and fabulous to stroll along. We really enjoyed it here and ended up doing a bit of shopping in the boutiques. The food options where also great. Overall a definite plus to visit this wharf. We highly recommend it!

Love going to museums when im out of town. It's winter time so they were renovating a lot of the room. The front desk only asked for donations, so we didn't have to pay for an entrance fee. Lots of history in these walls and it's just a nice place to check out.

Beautiful estate grounds. The mansion of course is great but it was not that interesting to me. I think coming off the high of the Chateau Versailles made it a bit underwhelming. The history was interesting to learn as I wanted to know more about Doris Duke who I had never heard of previously and was certainly piqued after learning of her association with Duke University.

Perfect stop on the bike tour! Awesome views and fun climbing on the rocks and going into the water. Perfect day, did the bike tour from Ft Adams to Castle hill, then this park and cliff walk hen back to Ft Adams. So fun! Highly recommend and give yourself time to enjoy all the scenery. Kites fly here often and there are festivals too. Gotta love the wiener truck too. Lol

The Elms is truly one of Newport’s shining gems—and my personal favorite mansion. It’s absolutely breathtaking and full of old-world charm. From the moment you arrive, you’re transported back to the Gilded Age, surrounded by elegant French-inspired architecture, grand interiors, and gardens that look like they belong in a fairytale. It’s luxurious but never cold—every room and detail feels thoughtfully and lovingly preserved. You can almost picture the lavish parties and quiet moments that once filled these halls. If you’re exploring Newport, The Elms is a must. It’s simply unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to the Preservation Society for keeping this jewel so beautifully alive.

The restaurant is really nice, we sat on the terrace. If you visit Newport is a great place to go. The food is good. The clam chowder is good not so heavy and has a lot of dill in it! The mussels were great, but the sauce is to die for it. The shrimp past is delicious.

Great spot. We had the crab cake to start, loaded with crab and no filler. I had the pepper crusted tuna, cooked just right, and my son had penne almond chicken he didn’t leave a bite. Finished with the famous Snowball for dessert. It is that good. Cool atmosphere, great service, not too stuffy. Would definitely come back.

Scotch eggs were about as flavorful and perfectly cooked as you can expect. Clam chowder was excellent. We also ordered endive salad blackened sword fish and beef Wellington. Bread pudding and candy bar rounded out the meal. Smokey Old fashioned to start. Everything was impeccably prepared. Best meal we had for this trip. Service was warm and attentive.

The seafood is outstanding—10 out of 10! We've been to this seafood restaurant twice, and each visit has been excellent. The crab cakes were a particular highlight, and the cod was also very good. We ordered a whole lobster, and the server kindly helped us clean it, which made the experience much easier and enjoyable. The restaurant’s design is simple yet elegant. Despite being very busy during both of our visits, the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. A practical note: Parking in front of the restaurant is limited and paid, so we were lucky to find a spot. Overall, highly recommended for seafood lovers looking for a top-notch dining experience. We'll definitely be back when we're in Newport, RI again!

Absolutely fabulous. We live just outside Washington DC and have a few Michelin-star restaurants. Giusto is better. We had the Black Bass Crudo with kiwi and yuzu (amazing), the Japanese Eggplant, fruit di mare Bucatini and the Mushroom Agnolotti (wow), followed by the Coconut Lime dessert - all with a great Italian white wine. An amazing experience, with fabulous service a wonderful view of Newport harbor. Thank you, Chef and all the staff at Giusto!

Being a NYer that lives close enough to travel to Little Italy in NYC, we can be pretty particular and fussy about our food. ESPECIALLY about our Italian pasta restaurants and seafood. This place was recommended and booked for me on behalf of the nearby Vanderbilt hotel. I'm glad I came out of my shell and shelled out here instead of eating at the hotel. So, let’s talk about the food. I had the Bibb Lettuce salad, the linguine and Seared Scallops with Togarashi. So let’s get it started with the salad. It’s par for the course and good to start off with. It’s nothing to hype about. Don’t worry, things get better and appetizing, I promise. The scallops and linguine were definitely something that should be of note. Both were a delectable delight, especially the linguine. The linguine had clams and was made with a white wine sauce. The seared scallops were nice, soft and spongy. They weren’t overcooked or rubbery in texture. They were basically cooked and seared to perfection. The sauces made the seafood flavor pop and weren't overwhelming. The edamame was a good pairing to help with the scallop’s flavor profile. So in closing, it’s time to Shell out a 5 Star review for 5 Star service. A special shout out goes out to Kylie who was an excellent and attentive waitress and the bearded bloke in the blue blazer that came to check in on my mom and I. He must have been the manager. I didn’t catch his name, but he did come in to check and see if my mom and I were enjoying our food. Bring Your Appetite and Be Impressed because I was. When I visit this town again, I will definitely be stopping by Scales and Shells for another plate of perfection. The only negative gripe that I have is that I wish that they would open earlier.

Went there for brunch, great place. It was two of us and we ordered three items (too much food!!). Everything was great, but the french toast was the highlight. The cold brew was perfect too. Sat outside with our dog #PetFriendly Great value, quick service, delicious food, gigantic portions. Highly recommend this stop when visiting Newport!

If you are visiting Newport, definitely go here. It is one of the best restaurants in town. We ended up going twice because we loved it so much the first time. The line and constantly packed tables are a testament to how good everything is. The cocktails are phenomenal and any entree is delicious. Not to mention the desserts too. The lemon sorbet was so flavorful. There are so many good things to try. The carrots were my favorite too.

Was hesitant to try Mexican food in Newport but this looked a bit upscale and didn’t disappoint. Unique take on some dishes with a local twist. Clearly fresh ingredients. Chips and salsa and guacamole were a huge portion and delicious. Margaritas were super tasty and came in many flavors. Went with the duck tacos which were stellar but could have used a third taco for that price. Server was great, she was patient and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and it’s obviously popular being so busy on a Tuesday night in late October. I’d say the only downside is the 1% addition to your bill for kitchen staff. I get the message and purpose but why not just pay your staff more rather than forcing your customers to subsidize your payroll?

Excellent oysters. Still wish restaurants would make real chips for fish and chips but this is North America. There is a variety of seating from cozy bars to open shared tables. Very attentive service during lunch on a rainy Sunday. One must try the oyster shooters!

This is my new favorite airport in America. I Had a really smooth experience at Terminal E. Security was quick and easy, which made getting through stress-free. The British Airways lounge was great with plenty of seating and a nice variety of food options. The shuttle bus between terminals was fast, convenient, and made it simple to get around. Overall, everything felt well organized and traveler-friendly.

This airport 🛫 is very easy and accessible from where I live and it's a short and more direct drive and traffic to go here to this airport than Boston Logan Airport. The TSA is far better than airports, easier and more pleasant, and their lanes go quickly. The bathrooms are beyond clean and immaculate and by far the safest the have the long walls and there always well- kept up ! Other airports bathrooms aren't up to par . This is a decent airport and me and my family and I have been coming to T. F. Green for many many years, and we love flying out of their airport. It's a small airport but a good one ! Never had a problem with this airport, I would rather fly out of T.F. Green any given day, then Boston Logan Airport. The whole overall experience is a much better one ! Love this airport! We fly frequently to do wellness checks on my very " Elderly Grandparents " who live in Florida. So I personally and highly recommend flying out of T.F. Green Providence Airport 🛫 🛬!
