5.0 of 5 stars. Our experience at The Spiced Pear was stunning from start to finish. It's been a couple of weeks and I still think about how amazing my Kobe strip loin was. We made a reservation on our way out to...

4.0 of 5 stars. Dined here a few times as a hotel guest and consider it among the top fine-dining options in Newport. The only thing in the same league is the Inn at Castle Hill, which is more staid, though equally...

Horrible restaurant, great view of the beach

My husband was embarrassed to have chosen this "treat" for our anniversary. We couldn't decide what was worse, the cold, poorly prepared food or the cold, poorly coordinated service. Or the outrageous prices....

5.0 of 5 stars. The Spiced Pear was a "do it up dinner" for our honeymoon. We are not big foodies, per se - we just like to eat. We're used to the in-your-face service of most restaurants wherein the waitress comes...

Good, but underwhelming

The food is top-notch here, and in the summer when the outside section located directly atop Cliff Walk and First Beach is open, the setting can be spectacular (if there's no seaweed!). The drawbacks are the...
