My boyfriend and I went to Clark Cooke House for dinner and it was an awesome experience. There is an oyster bar right in the front as you walk in, and while the place was full of people, there was little to no wait time to be seated. My boyfriend got the lamb shank while I ordered the oven roasted half chicken. We also ordered calamari fritti for an appetizer. The food was delicious and we had a good waiter who was attentive and polite. The turnaround time for our food was great as well. We would definitely come back if we're near or around town again!

I had an amazing dining experience at Clarke Cooke House! The Peppered Tuna Steak was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly pan-seared with a delicious sweet and buttery sherry vinegar glaze, paired beautifully with collard greens. The service was exceptional; the staff was attentive, warm, and made the evening truly special. The atmosphere is fantastic—elegant yet inviting, with that classic Newport charm that elevates the whole experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for a memorable meal!

Very nice restaurant! Very cute older gentleman hosting the front, cute outdoor tables, large inside and second floor bar. Clam chowder was more soupy and potato based but good. Our main dish was very nicely done as well with a nice crunch option with the chip accents. Will be back for sure!

We had a great dinner here! Open air, nice vibe, however it does get quite loud. We really enjoyed the summer sushi, some oysters, and the red snapper special. The chocolate dessert that comes in the wine glass was so amazing that we came back a second time for it during our vacation. It gets very busy here, so I recommend making a dinner reservation if you want to get in!

Dining at Clarke Cooke House our first night in Newport set an incredibly high bar for the rest of our trip. We began with mussels, served with irresistibly hot, freshly baked bread straight from the oven. For our main courses, we shared the seafood linguine and the seasonal scallop special, both showcasing the freshest, most flavorful seafood. We enjoyed our meal with a picturesque view of the water where there was a nearby boat covered in Christmas lights making me very merry.

Dining out doesn't get any better than this. Everything was delish - cocktails, appetizers, dinner, dessert. The service was impeccable. We ate upstairs in the Skybar and it was gorgeous. We love these types of experiences because you never forget them.
