The Old Courthouse — Restaurant in Newport

I have been dying to try The Old Courthouse for years, finally I went to a concert/barbecue event and the band “Nicks Other Band” was in a word awesome. It was a buffet with several options which the only option that seemed good to me was the brisket (and it was good), However everything else was just ok. Baked Potato Bar which was a draw to hear about but the Baked Potato’s were undercooked and too hard to eat. I only took one piece of Brisket because i wanted to try it. Cornbread was average, grilled shrimps were small and average with little taste. Salmon was had by another member of my family and it was just ok. Then by the time we went up for seconds, (brisket) and it was being wrapped up. I was disappointed until we got the bill, then I was flabbergasted that they charged $50 pp (not including drinks). we had ordered three frozen drinks, (which were weak), combined with just ok food, It came to $250 for 4 people and with tip for over $300 total.

Stumbled upon the Old Courthouse online while visiting the area. Couldn't get a reservation through Open Table. So, we decided to call. Jason kindly explained about their special "5 course wine dinner" and took our reservation. The dining room appears to be the room where court would have been held. High ceilings and brick accents. Not much room between tables. But, the wait staff moved through easily. We were greeted with a glass of prosecco upon our arrival. (Nice touch) The wine paired with each dish came with a thorough explanation from the wine expert. And the cuisine was absolutely delicious! Each course carefully planned by the chef to compliment the different wines. We were so happy to have this experience while visiting Newport. Thank you to everyone at the Old Courthouse for a...

Amazing experience when my husband and I took my mom there for her Anniversary Dinner. We lost our dad in June and mom still wanted to do something special, so we (as a couple) have been to TOC a few times and loved it so mom was game. It was so wonderful from the beginning. We were seated immediately and offered cocktails of our choice, which were perfect. Our meals were delicious and hot. The dinner rolls were the best we ever had, and dessert was so decadent! The atmosphere was so charming and the staff was friendly, efficient and helpful. Mom was so happy with the whole experience, and we toasted to dad and all the wonderful years they had together. Thank you TOC, we will definitely be dining with you...
