Stopped in for a family dinner on a cool rainy Thursday evening. Wanted to check out the new place since it became McCollums. The restaurant did not disappoint. We had the filet mignon and 3 cheese Mac and cheese. The filet mignon had a very nice crust on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. We like it more on the rare side! The Mac and cheese was excellent. Had the key lime pie and crème brûlée for dessert. The service was excellent. The setting inside has been changed and some of the cool parts of York street still remains. Overall a very fine establishment in Newport ! They recently opened for lunch so we will have to try that out. read more

McCollums on York located in Newport is a true Chef owned restaurant. Tonight we had the Three course Meal & we're delighted. The Service was first rate. Seated quickly. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and great food. The place is very clean and well maintained. We started with the Heart and Palm Salad. Perfect portion tossed with homemade honey balsamic dressing, really good!! I had the Chicken Gumbo, meaty and tasty with a perfect amount of spice to light up the tastebuds. The Shrimp PoBoy bruschetta was very flavorful. My lobster dip was nice and creamy and work well on the sliced crostini bread. We all had the Blackened salmon with rice & beans. The salmon was perfectly cooked and very flavorful with just enough blackened seasoning to enhance the flavor. Food presentation was perfect, everything was plated nicely They have a great selection of bourbon. We chose ours after just three selections but they had many more. The owner came by our table and introduced herself, something you rarely see nowadays The cost was reasonable, and we have added this to our list of top restaurant selections in Newport, Kentucky. Thank our server, Sam for the great service and menu advice. Five stars. read more

Really enjoyed our experience here! Service was great, and it was nice to chat with the owner and hear their plans for the restaurant (and hear about some history of the building itself!). Some of our meals were a little heavy on the salt. The drinks were good!! read more

We had a nice night trying this restaurant. The restaurant is cozy and inviting. I tried the seasonal sangria and it was flavorful. As for the food, it was pretty good! The bread basket with herb butter and ricotta was delicious and the bread was so warm and fresh. Caesar salads were also delicious. My main complaint was that the brussels sprouts and mac and cheese were truly over salted. I think they would have been great if this had not happened. As for the entrees, the ribeye was flavorful and the burger was juicy. All of the food came out steaming hot. Everything was cooked to temperature. For dessert we ordered key lime pie and peanut butter pie. Desserts were okay, just heavy on the cream cheese which personally isn't my favorite but I know the rest of our party enjoyed them. The owner came out to introduce herself and give us some background and she was so nice. I truly wish the best for them and this restaurant. If they can fix the salt issue, I think they will do well. Give them a try! I plan on coming back and giving an updated review. read more

Incredible decor, and ambience, like historic but well kept. They had just put up Christmas decorations when we went, and it was very festive in a warm way. The food was incredible. I could not believe that this place was not packed to the gills. The filet mignon was one of the best steaks I've had this year. The sides and desserts were lovely, the wine prices weren't overinflated, and the service was perfect. This place could easily compete with The Precinct. Take folks here you want to treat right. read more

McCollum's On York - Charcuterie board for four - Salad Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

In town for a few days came here around 530pm. We were the only people here on a Tuesday. Service was prompt. We ordered a few cocktails a gin martini and tequila cosmo. A few other couples came in by 6pm there were five groups in the place. We got filet medium rare, and beef short rib. Both were excellent, served over garlic mashed potatoes. Perfectly seasoned and prepared. We got two glasses of Duckthorn Cab. The place is an old pharmacy. Kind of funky but very comfortable. There is a small bar as you enter with a few tables we sat in the larger restaurant area about 18 tables. Total $200 with tip. A good value we say. Mark & Nancy. read more

This was our first visit to McCollum's and we love the look of the restaurant. I feel that the prices for the entrées are very fair with what you get, but I feel like their sides are a little overpriced and nine dollars for six rolls and an additional three dollars if you need extra butter is a bit over-the-top to me. My husband said the pork chop was amazing. I got the short rib gnocchi and it was fine, but it would not be a do over for me. I did not think it had much taste. We would definitely give the restaurant another try. read more

Food and atmosphere and service are top notch. Highly recommend. On York. Former York street Cafe.

We used to be regulars at this restaurant (old one!) We were very disappointed in the food quality! My husband ordered stuffed chicken and it came to our table burnt over 3 tablespoons of rice. Very stringy, no vegetables or color! No presentation! My dinner was delicious. It was the black and blue salad. Sadly it had very little blu cheese. I also ordered a glass of wine and it was a very short pour! I'm a little prejudiced because we own a bar! But 4 oz??? I truly wanted to be a big fan but my husband complained all the way home! The staff was very nice! Location is great! Sadly, we won't be back until we forget this experience. read more

The food, the service were perfect. Jennifer and her team have something special here. It's a beautiful space that will only get better with the outdoor addition in the spring. We will be returning soon. read more

LOVE!!! I had been to York Street cafe a handful of times years ago. Went here on a whim for New Years and was so impressed. Staff from the moment we arrived was so kind and personable. They had a prix fixe dinner which we didn't know about when booking reservations, I don't eat at many fine dining places so this was a new experience for me but was so happy with everything. I hardly eat meat or fish but this pushed me out of my comfort zone and truly every dish we had I'd order again. Crab cakes and pork belly were shining stars on the menu, for someone who doesn't normally eat either I was beyond impressed. They revamped the space to give a more elegant feel, making it the perfect date night or special occasion dinner. The owner informed us they'd be opening their patio this summer as well as turning the second floor into a lounge. Needless to say I will be back. There are so few places that offer this level of hospitality, quality food and old school atmosphere. They're a true gem and I can't wait to visit again. read more

Formerly York St Cafe. Had an impromptu early dinner here and we were not disappointed. Right away we noticed it had been refreshed nicely from the previous owners.

Don't miss it! read more

First time dining at McCollum's, will be going back for sure. The main dining room is elegant and very welcoming. The staff was very friendly. Bobby in particular shared the history of the building, and invited us to see the newly remodeled deck. The pride he takes in this restaurant is endearing. Chef Richard personally greeted us, and introduced us to Jen, who escorted us to a cozy table. We felt very welcome. Then when the food arrived-Wow! Two steaks, cooked to perfection. The ambience, aroma, and delicious taste really makes the experience a joy for the senses. Chef Richard, Jen, Bobby, and staff really made this a special evening for us! Highly Recommended! read more

Ambiance and food is beautiful . This is a hidden gem that has been refurbished . Will return

The food was excellent. I tried the 3 course meal having strawberry buratta salad, smoked salmon tartlets and Strip steak with mashed potatoes. Dessert was the key lime pie. The service was excellent and all servers worked together to make dinner a wonderful experience. This building was an old pharmacy with all the original shelving. They have updated the interior providing a lot of ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our date night here! Everyone is so friendly, good service, and well prepared food. The house butter and bread was delicious (we took the leftovers home), I had the short ribs with gnocchi and my husband ordered the special, lobster ravioli. Both were great and well prepared. The space is nicely done and has a cozy feel. Would recommend, we will be back! read more
