Root is a nice vegan spot in Newport with a simple, comfortable setup and a straightforward menu…read more Nothing fancy, but it feels welcoming and easy to order from. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich, and it was really good. The flavor was smoky and slightly sweet, and the texture worked surprisingly well. My partner tried the Arriva grain bowl, which was fresh and layered with flavor without being heavy. Both dishes tasted well thought out and clearly made with care. The menu has a good mix of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and baked items, so it's easy to find something whether you're fully plant-based or just looking for a healthier option. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly, and things came out at a steady pace. Overall, Root feels like a solid place to go for a good vegan meal in town. I'd definitely come back for the food, especially that jackfruit sandwich.

Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

The ambience is very nice in here & I got sat right away. The wine menu was confusing because when…read moreI asked the waitress about the white wines per glass she said only 3 were available. She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

We were looking for a 'fancy coffee' to enjoy while we were shopping and the line wasn't too long…read moreat Kaffeology so that's where we stopped. While the line was short, the wait was surprisingly long to get to the counter, but during the time we were waiting, we also decided to order some food. Our food and drinks were made to order and we enjoyed them both. Kaffeology is a cute space with a robust menu of delicious items and definitely worth a try!

Had to change up my taco Tuesday routine so went vegan today with a place I have heard a lot of…read moregreat things about with Sprout and Lentil! Dine in and take out options available here. Smaller shared parking lot to be mindful of here. Very welcoming staff that provided a great overview of the menu, drinks, made to take items and weekly specials. Casual relaxed atmosphere here with some music jamming in the background. Window bar seating if you are on your own or tables for four if meeting for a quick lunch bite. Started with a small chili which was fresh and full of flavor. For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options). After eating here can see what all the buzz was for a standout vegan option on island. A group came in after me and ordered a pizza that looked awesome as well. Will be back to try more of the menu when able!!

Me and the girls each got a different espresso martini, I def loved the pb espresso martini, it was very very smooth. We then split a hot dog tower and split the hot dogs into thirds and they were incredible. The girl dinner hot dog I think was my absolute favorite. Might need to come back again tho to make a definitive decision on it though. They have homemade sauces and the dill ranch was something I would buy bottles of if they sold it. Seriously, I ate the whole thing on the fries. Which were also amazing. They were super busy, but our server was attentive. We also ate upstairs which looks like a fancier vibe than downstairs, downstairs is more like a 1960s ish vibe whereas upstairs is more fancy bar area. I'm in love with it here basically, and cannot wait to return and work thru more of their menu.

We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

On this beautiful Newport day, I got to meet their lovely staff & laid eyes on their yummy looking pastries. Though I wanted to try ALL of them, I unfortunatelt couldn't but I was definitely being called to the Apple Turnover the most and BOY it did not disappoint at all! It was so perfectly baked with the perfect amount of apples and not too sweet. My friend had the Egg Basket (phone did not eat first) which was a 5/5 review for her and the Oatmeal Raisin cookie which also got a 5/5 review with a comment of "being hearty!"

Sounded so good with blueberries, almonds, cranberries and greens. Plus the photos of other salads looked great with plenty of colorful ingredients.
