This elegant restaurant once housed Newport's only gambling casino. But today, it is a place where both locals and tourists alike come for traditional American fare such as steaks, lamb, and local seafood. High ceilings, dark wood paneling, crystal chandeliers, a prominent stained-glass window, and other refined touches make any meal here a celebration. Al fresco dining is available on the covered porch during the warmer months, and more casual meals are available in the cellar pub.
