We were in town for the weekend and couldn’t get a table anywhere. We came to Jo’s with high hopes of having at least a decent dinner. We were so happily surprised by everything. Our meals were excellent. Mushroom ravioli & grilled shrimp over risotto were delicious. Bread pudding was more than enough for two. Our server was great. Will definitely go back on our next visit to Newport.

Closed for repairs so, no review! Would’ve been nice to know this in advance. Didn’t want to give a star because we didn’t get to eat there, but had no choice in Unilocal!Maybe next time.

Excellent food and service. I was staying in Newport, and went here with a friend on a Saturday night based on the menu, which had a lot of great sounding options, and the excellent reviews. We sat in the upstairs dining room, which has a nice look and is great for an intimate dinner. Our waitress was very friendly and sweet. We ordered a bowl of chowder, an order of fish and chips, and a bistro burger. I had a draft IPA and my friend had a cabernet sauvignon. All of the food was excellent. The waitress was perfect and someone who may have been the owner(or at least a manager) stopped by and asked how our food was. I recommend Jo’s Bistro if you visit Newport.

Ok so this place is trying to pass itself off as some type of fancy establishment. Guess they are pulling it off… on tourists i can see it working… if the food was good they would be doing alot better. Very«stiff» atmosphere. Started with a duck appetizer. I really do believe they pulled the boneless spare rib sauce from a cheap, Brooklyn, Chinese restaurant and slapped it on duck. Tried duck again for the entrée. forget exactly what. a french dish with beans, rice, etc. BLAH. try some seasoning. They do have a raw bar and the ocean is down the block, maybe I should have went that route. And it was restaurant week so these dishes may not even be on the menu. They did get the chocolate mouse right. And my drink was on point… that may be due to the fantastic waiter by the name of Neil. He gave me a couple laughs and made the food a little easier to deal with.

I was extremely surprised an delighted by this restaurant! I was expecting a random American food spot, but was greeted with exceptional customer service, great food, and a fun drink menu! My parents ordered the fish and chips and the salmon. I ordered the(gluten free) bistro salad. The menu has about 10 gluten free items(clearly marked) and several more items for those dining with regular diets. The drink menu is seasonal/full bar and offers a couple of pumpkin and apple cocktails for the fall(I had one of each). My parents had a local Connecticut brewery beer(Two Roads: Little Heaven) and they loved it! While this place is somewhat small, I felt like I was in a great little neighborhood spot with clean tables and top notch food. I recommend this place highly, if you’re in Newport.

A bit disappointing front door experience. Middle aged lady was a little rude, with no real reason to be, but redeemed herself by finding a table fairly quickly. The barman upstairs was great though! Having said that, the menu is excellent and the wine list well thought out. And the food was to die for. I don’t normally do dessert but I had to here. Perfectly cooked dishes, dealt with a vegan easily with a great result, and the rest of us were, as they say, happy as clams!

We came here for a little date night dinner and had a great time. Our server Tracy was amazing and we had a pleasant conversation with her after dinner as well. The food was fantastic. We ordered the sticky duck and a scallop/bacon app. Then we got the four cheese penne and the grilled shrimp and risotto entrees that were all amazing. Overall a great experience and we will definitely return again!

Great place not on the«main» drags but close .very nice staff, accommodating and actually understand how to handle food allergies which should be a given when in this business but sadly it usually is not! Everything we ate was delicious very classy place yet nice shorts and tee are ok! Give it a try

Is it a good meal when you have to go into the kitchen to hunt down the Tabasco sauce yourself for your burger? Is it a good meal when you have to hand deliver your waiter the check and payment book yourself — two rooms away? Is it a good meal when the new hire waiter plates the wrong meal in front of your wife before asking if she even ordered it? All of this happened tonight at your lovely Jo’s, a shoebox with loud locals who have no clue about good food because they never learned how to cook for themselves.

We only had wine and a snack at the bar but we were VERY impressed. From décor to service to taste and variety of the menu. The Sticky Duck app was really good.

Fantastic. Try the scallops & pork belly, together with the sticky duck. The pork(I can still taste that goodness) is as tender as the scallop and perfectly seasoned. The duck… dang. So freaking good. Moist, flavor packed with a crispy skin(the supplemental kale chips melt on your tongue). Thanks to Tracy for her friendly service!

This place was outstanding, not only was the food incredible but the wait staff were incredibly nice and helpful. Would absolutely go there again. I got the Lobster Bisque and it was heavenly by far one of the best Lobster Bisque’s I’ve had in such a long time. The mood was set right for dinner and everyone was so friendly. Me and my friends would 100% go there again they did not disappoint!

In a recent trip to Newport, we found this place in a rainy night in the hills of Newport. We were sited right away and were surprised and how nice the ambiance and the personnel were. We had a couple of glasses of wine and a perfect steak, with the most delicious mashed potatoes with cheddar and bacon. The oysters and clams were fresh and delicious as well. We could not have asked for a better dinner, to close the night we had the apple pie dessert, a house made crunchy little pie with delicious vanilla ice cream. Highly recommended, I like this better than the lower port side of town and it is a great alternative to purely seafood restaurants!

Classic American vibe, nice host and servers. The Mediterranean plate was very good. The burger was a little over cooked and hard to digest apparently. As for the salmon, it was great. The Israeli couscous was a little over cooked but the flavor was nice and fresh. It was described with sautéed Kale and I barely found a leaf. Price was reasonable. Note that they carry only Pepsi.

All the food here is absolutely delicious and the service is great. The presentation of the food is perfect like an art. Best grilled chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Also nice live music on Friday nights, as well as half price apps at the bar!

Perfect lunch. Started with oysters that were large, tasty, and very fresh with lots of juice. My burger was delicious. Toasted bun, perfectly seasoned and cooked to a text book medium rare. Fries were awesome and a nice portion! Service was great, Tracey was kind, polite, and very personable. Dinner entrees are always excellent and the presentation is beautiful. We like to go on Friday nights and listen to the live music and enjoy their half price apps at the bar! This restaurant is in our top three favorite spots in Newport!

Went with my love for valentines dinner and price fix menu but wow ! Starters — veal carportio and fresh oysters with cucumber and fresh dill. Entrée — filet beef with lobster tots and fresh asparagus and boneless game hen with cornbread Apple stuffing and green beans. Dessert — crème brûlée and chocolate lava cake Found place on Unilocal and trip advisor and would go back.

We found this place through OpenTable, and had a nice relaxing experience here. The reggae music reminded us it was summer, as we watched the cars on Memorial Drive go by in the summer breeze. We arrived just in time for the prix fixe. It was such a good deal that my husband wanted to go back again in our one-week trip! I had clam chowder and salmon, and my husband had a salad and chicken piccata. We were both very happy with our food. The clam chowder was the best I’ve had in many years. It was creamy, not too salty, and had the right balance of clams and other things. The salmon was also cooked perfectly, and the vegetables that went with it were great. My husband was very happy with his food as well. This restaurant is somewhat off the beaten path, and on a pre-July 4th weeknight it was nice and quiet. As the sun set, they switched the music from reggae to something calmer. A great way to round out the evening.
