Spiced Pear

Newport's Spiced Pear is the place to be if you're searching for a nice date night spot. You can't go wrong with any of their attractively arranged dinners, with loads of wonderful fresh seafood selections. Furthermore, because the restaurant is located on the Cliff Walk, the view from the restaurant is extremely breathtaking, ensuring a wonderful experience.

The Spiced Pear's thoughtful food combines an imaginative rendition of classic New England meals with French influences for a dining experience that is in perfect harmony with the local Newport culture. With its six- and nine-course Modern England tasting menus, this magnificent dining salon, housed at The Chanler hotel amid Newport's iconic Gilded Age homes, pays homage to the finest of the Old World while embracing the new. As you enter, you are greeted with a modern and open "display" kitchen, while the rest of the atmosphere is pure French elegance. The rear of the small main dining area has some of the best views of Newport's Second Beach. From the lobster bisque to the grilled veal chop with cauliflower and roasted porcinis, the dinner courses are beautifully presented.

The bordelaise sauce over Kobe beef tenderloin complements the thin, beautifully textured meat; a potato gnocchi appetizer is softly cooked for a somewhat woody, crisp finish. A trio of tiny spiced pears nestled over rounds of caramel crème brûlée is the restaurant's trademark dessert. Dinner at The Spiced Pear is genuinely gourmet cuisine, with pricing to match, but it's well worth the money for a "old money" experience among the splendor of Newport's magnificent mansions.
