A wonderful experience. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly but at times it was difficult to understand her, especially when describing the course. Overall the wait staff was outstanding.

Armando was amazing from the moment we walked in. He is personable and gives great recommendations on both wine and main meals for us! He was interactive with our teens and gave them options in desserts and espresso drinks. Can’t wait to go back, my son is dying to try the Armando experience!

About the restaurant
Residing inside the historic Agassiz Mansion at Castle Hill Inn, Aurelia is the next evolution in Castle Hill’s culinary journey – one that has been lauded as one of the best dining experiences in New England. Nestled on forty magical acres, the property has been the backdrop of memorable occasions for more than a century.

The Forbes and Relais & Chateaux restaurant, known in its original incarnation as The Dining Room at Castle Hill, offers a six-course prix fixe menu with imaginative dishes utilizing the local bounty of produce, seafood, and artisanal producers.

Aurelia’s dining rooms overlook Narragansett Bay in all its raw beauty. As the bay’s seascape and surrounding landscape change subtly with the seasons, so does Aurelia’s menu, culminating in a truly memorable experience.
