My wife and I were spending a day in Newport and a friend had recommended we go to Belle's for lunch. I'd never been let down by her recommendation before, so we made it the first stop on our list. We arrived and found the staff working quickly to take care of the many tables already seated and handling any take out orders that had come in. We put our names on the list and were told the wait was about 20 minutes but we could sit in their outdoor lounge until our table was ready.

There were a lot of beautiful boats to look at while we waited, and the time went by quickly. I don't even think it was a full 20 minutes before we were called to be seated. Jess was taking care of us that day and she was wonderful. I couldn't decide between the Mushroom Panini and the Mighty Thor Chicken Wrap, so I asked Jess what she would recommend; I went with the chicken. My wife ordered the Cubano Panini. Both were delicious, in fact my wife said hers was the best panini she's ever had.

Everyone around us was enjoying their meals and we definitely made the right choice of how to start our day. I've already recommended the restaurant to two other friends and I know we'll be back again.
