   The menu was quite limited, food was good but not great . Admittedly we had high expectations but nothing was above average , the cocktail specials weee poor, one had to be returned, the service was average, but waiter seemed confused the whole night, the desert was bland, the wine pour was about as small as they come, so for the cost ( which we understood ahead of time) we did not receive much value for this dinning experience.

   Hello Andrew, thank you for choosing the Safari Room and thank you for taking the time to share thoughts from your experience. Guest feedback is one of the most valuable tools we have to assure that we are providing the very best in service and cuisine. We regret to hear that your experience did not exceed your high expectations. Regarding the limited menu, as advertised, we are currently running our special Valentine's pre fixe menu through 2/23 so the selections would vary from a full menu. In regards to your other comments, please know that we will share them among our team. As you can see from our other reviews, exceeding expectations is what we do best and strive for. We do hope that knowing your feedback is heard and important, you will give us another try in the future.

   Of course nothing beats the summer views here but still a great option in the winter!! Staff, as always, the friendliest and most attentive in Newport!

   We went in January which is the off season and it was still so enjoyable. It was dark so we didn’t have a view but the service was great, food was delicious, and the atmosphere of the whole hotel/dining room was fantastic. There were 2 other tables and a few people at the bar, so that could be why the service was so great, but we were able to arrive, eat apps, and dinner in just under an hour. We could’ve absolutely had stayed longer, we did not feel a push to leave. This does not feel like a hotel restaurant at all.

   Although limited, the food was tasty, especially the chicken dish. The safari theme is not ageing well and they need to redecorate the bar and dining room. More contemporary decor is needed. The service was excellent.

   Everything was really fine with the exception that there was a shop and sip event which I think had a negative impact on the service
