My husband and I went here on a Saturday night at 8 o'clock. It has a lively and fun atmosphere. We were seated at a high top table near the bar. After waiting for over 15 minutes for someone to come, take our drink order my husband finally walked over to a few staff members and asked if anyone was servicing our table. It seems as though two different staff members each thought the other one was servicing our table, and they apologized for the oversight. Shortly after they took our drink order, a manager came over to the table with a complementary app and offered a round of drinks on the house. We definitely didn't expect this, but it was a very nice gesture. The appetizer she brought over was a twisty bread and it's something we never would've normally ordered, but it was fantastic. I had a spicy watermelon margarita and it was so good! I definitely recommend trying it. For my meal, I ordered the tuna poke bowl, which is very good. All in all I would say it was a good night. The drinks were good, the food was good. It was a lively and fun atmosphere and they were able to turn the service around. We'll likely return again. read more

Went for.lunch with our 2 golden retrievers. We were seated in a great spot in the shade, boys got a bowl of water and chicken breast off the dog menu. Our sandwiches were delicious. A great experience and we will be back! read more

I use to love visiting surf club as a local. I visited here for the first time in a few years and the food is still amazing. However, the service was not good. It felt like as a customer we were a bothering them asking for simple things. We had to grab their attention just to order. On the bright side we met a nice couple with a cute dog! Make sure to order the twisty bread for an appetizer, it's the best. read more

We had a reservation at 8:30 on a Saturday night, we arrived 50min early to see if we could be seated earlier, which they were able to do. I had no clue there was a downstairs, it was so cool down there! Huge bar, darker, you can see into the kitchen, a great lay-out. Drinks were great, I got the pumpkin espresso martini. Food was even better. I split the Cali Sandwich and Steak Tacos with a friend and both were delicious!! Great place to come with a big group of people to enjoy great food. read more

This is such a vibe for a meal in Newport! With seating and bar right outside at the intersection of shops and the water, the surf club is definitely a good stop. My friend and I split the prosciutto and arugula pizza which was delicious! Their aperol spritz was also so refreshing too! The service was quick and our waiter was friendly as well. Such a good place to hang out with family or friends. read more

This corner spot is great for a hot day if you choose to sit inside. There is a bar option as well. I ordered the blackened shrimp bowl and it was amazing. Very flavorful. I also tried a burger which also was flavorful and very thick. Very juicy though. The service was average. Recommend going at a time that is less busy because it's very quiet and great without a ton of people! read more

I usually just come here for drinks (I love their spicy watermelon marg) but it was a busy night in Newport and we decided to stop here to grab some food. Servers were great and friendly. We ordered the crispy green beans which were good. I got the fish tacos which were lack luster, the fish was kind of cold and the breading was a bit soggy like they had been sitting a bit. My friend got the chicken salad and loved it but that's her go to when she goes here. Getting food also took a lot longer than we expected as we sat outside and it didn't appear super busy. But looks are deceiving since they also have a whole inside dining room so won't dock them for that! Love the outside bar area for people watching too read more

Great service! We came during the day to the outside part of surf club. We had a great pizza and I would definitely recommend the Aperol spritz on the menu. Probably the best I've ever had. I don't think it's priced too poorly given it actually tasted great and the location of the restaurant. read more

One of the most underrated places in Newport; it's one of our favorites! Really fun and inviting tiki hut vibe outside- you can sit at the low/high tops or at the bar (or inside the restaurant, but totally different atmosphere). Plenty of shade outside, whether it's at the bar or a table. We always sit at the bar, so service is always prompt and available. Mixed drinks here are delicious, and they also offer a solid variety of seltzers and beer. The food at Surf Club is amazing!!! I was not a fan of the "breakfast/brunch" menu, but the lunch/dinner menu is great!! We've tried the meatballs, twisty bread, prosciutto and arugula pizza, chicken bacon ranch pizza, and pizza blanco (white pizza). The chicken bacon ranch pizza is the best of the pizzas, and the twisty bread with the tomato fondue is my absolute favorite. (Tip: if you don't get the twisty bread, ask for a side of the tomato fondue and use it to dip your pizza crust in it.) Meatballs are pretty solid as well. We will obviously be back each and every time we visit Newport!! Oh AND, they're dog-friendly (they even have a dog menu)! read more

Ambiance is cool, not too loud to eat and talk. Younger crowd. DJ after 10pm or so. Pool table in back. Pretty clean bathrooms. Some of the food last time we went was really salty to the point you almost couldn't eat it, like the nachos had sea salt added on top of them. But, nice staff, decent service and cool place for late night or date night in downtown Westerly! read more

If you're searching for a weekend brunch, Surf Club has it! Along with some brunchish mixed beverages, the brunch menu is small but unique. If you'd rather have a lunch/ dinner meal, the menu has a variety and you're sure to find something that meets your palate's expectations. I had a chopped salad with salmon and it had just the right amount of balsamic vinegarette on it. Not noted on the main menu (and no separate menu given either), there are kid's options. Ours ordered the Mac n cheese and the other chicken tenders with fries. Both enjoyed their meals- especially the mac n cheese!! Choosing to order brunch, my husband had the Benedict, and it was "tasty" as he put it. Just like the menu, the restaurant itself is unique and has total New England vibes (rightfully so)! You enter into a small door on the side of the building and the restaurant is actually downstairs. The architecture and decor are super fitting and give the restaurant a great ambiance. The dim lighting is the icing on the cake. Service was good and she was able to answer our questions. We will be back! read more

I ordered takeout but it was a cool place to go back to. Inconspicuous from the outside and when you go in, the restaurant is down a flight of stairs. It reminded me of a casual seaside speakeasy. Really cool on the inside with a long bar and dim lighting. I got the prosciutto and arugula pizza which was really good. read more

I've been here twice and both times the food and drinks were excellent. Their pizza is fantastic (bring back the fig pizza!) and the twisty bread is yummy as well. Their spicy watermelon margarita is literally the drink of my dreams. Ambiance is great and the service is good. Maybe a bit pricey .... But it's Newport so it's expected. read more

Dim nice restaurant that was very clean and had good staff. Ordered the Surf Club Burger which was a fish fillet burger that came with a side of fries. The burger was very light, the fish patty was the lightest burger I've ever had. The portion sizing wasn't small, it was just the fish itself was either thinner that I thought or just an extremely light fish? Was still pretty hungry afterwards, tasted good though. Would definitely suggest coming here. Came in the slow season, hopefully this place is bustling in the summer! read more

Came here on a monday with my friend! I got the pizza blanco and they got the crispy fried fish sandwich. I am not the biggest fan of pizza, but all the reviews talked about how great the pizza was here so I decided to try it. I loved it a lot! The pizza blanco had a slight kick from the crushed red pepper, which I really enjoyed. My friend enjoyed their fish sandwich and it came with fries. Also, the bathroom was clean so that was definitely a plus. read more

We were spending a weekend in Newport and after seeing this place on couple occasions we decided to stop here to have our last outdoor meal on our getaway. I love the location and it's a perfect place to people watch. I went with prosciutto and honey pizza and my husband had the fish tacos. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were more than plenty. I really enjoyed our lunch here. My only negative is that the service is not the best. All the employees seem new or just uninterested in doing their work. read more

Our food was nothing to write home about and the service was much worse. Pros of this place are the frozen rose and location.

I went to the Surf Club for the first time a couple of weeks ago with my daughter. She was visiting from NYC and I wanted to try something different for lunch. We went downstairs and sat at the bar. The inside of the restaurant is really well laid out. It was nicely decorated and very inviting. The bartender was cheerful and made great suggestions regarding cocktails. Both of us tried the gin fizz and then tried it again...LOL. It was an amazing drink. I had the tuna poke bowl and it was fantastic. Tuna was seared perfectly and the other ingredients were super fresh and tasty. It is a great dish. My daughter had a salad that she enjoyed immensely. Prices were reasonable for what you got. Will definitely try dinner next time we head to Newport read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for drinks at the outdoor bar before going to dinner later in the night. I got a frozen blueberry margarita and he got a local drafted IPA. The staff was friendly and the bartender immediately gave us menus and took our drink orders. My drink was strong and good, however there were a few larger ice chunks in the bottom of my cup that made it a little tricky to drink the last bit of my drink. Towards the end of our stay, the bar got busier (which is expected for a Sunday in Newport); overall was a cute spot for drinks! read more

I ordered the blackened salmon blt. It tasted pretty good! The sandwich and piece of salmon on my sandwich was quite small though. I also got the cucumber lavender drink which had cucumber vodka, lavender syrup and lemonade. I really liked that drink! Our server took a good 45 minutes to take our orders which was pretty disappointing. Then he never came back. We had to chase him down to get water and then we had to get up and go find him to get the check. I never mind having to wait for things while dining in a restaurant, I understand servers are busy but this night wasn't even that packed. And the amount of time was very absurd. One of the girls had her drink spilled on her by a busser and it wasn't even acknowledged. We figured they would have taken it away and given a new one. read more

Visited on Sun 10/11. Seated downstairs in a very nice, dark area with candles. Outdoor seating looked pretty as well but it seems they close outdoors around 7-8pm. They had the Giants game on so hubby was happy. Food - we had apps & a couple of drinks. The twisty bread & fried green beans were delish. Service - Our waitress was non-existent. We had no napkins, no silverware, no plates for our apps when they were delivered. We couldn't find the waitress so flagged down the hostess who said "of course, will get ASAP." Well 5 mins later we ended up flagging down the bus boy because we saw that the hostess had clearly forgot. Our waitress ended up coming at the very end of our meal and took away dishes we were still picking at without asking us. The hostess & our waitress were awful, but thanks SO much to the bus boy for giving us napkins! read more
