Best Authentic Restaurants in Jamestown

Food was excellent. We had the escargot, chanterelle, sole and duck, and shared a “must-save-room-for-this” grand marnier souflle. Service was outstaning as well. Our maitre d’ was polite, pleasant and attentive. Both the food and the check were prompt. My husband likes to judge a restaurant besides its food and service, by its restrooms: they were meticulously clean :). We drove 90 miles to come here, and would deinitely come back again, perhaps for an overnight stay with couple of days enjoying Newport.

Our first time there won’t be our last. The food and value was excellent, hence a packed restaurant at 5:30 on a Saturday. The guacamole had a subtle zing that I couldn’t put my finger on and may have been my favorite ever. We had a fajitas, enchiladas and a fried fish taco, all delicious. Service couldn’t be better.

Always the most authentic and delicious Italian cuisine. Service is exceptional and wine list is great.

Awesome!!!Server was excellent as well as food!!!! Will return to this great restaurant !!!

Scales & Shells in Newport RI has been one of our favorite restaurants for 20+ years. Recently, it changed ownership so we tried it out again and loved it. The Fried Calamari appetizer was every bit as good as it was in the past and the Linguini (fresh pasta) with Manila Clams was Excellent. Our server, Loretta, was very attentive and personable. We will definitely be back again.
