I booked this reservation a week early on open table based on a 21 Zaget rating and we were not disappointed. We were seated in a great table by the window. Lucky for us we saw a beautiful sunset during our stay but the great food, service and a bottle of wine keep us there till after dark. Our waitress... More

We had a late night reservation because they were booked all night. It was worth the wait. Food was great but the service was top notch. Nice friendly professional Staff that even after a long night were kind and conscientious. Its a small place and we would highly recommend it. Would go again for sure.

We had the oysters and the scallops.....YUMMY!! Excellent wine selection and the pana cotta for dessert was so good, but they need to put in a larger martini glass...I had to share with my dad! Also, the bar on the 3rd floor is a great place for a drink or dinner with loud friends.

Small restaurant, intimate. Great food, smallish portions. Enjoyed the experience. Thought that the service could have been warmer for such a small place.

Went to fluke last night for a small bite. Not sure what trouble the previous posters ran into but my experience was great. I had the grilled quail with root vegetables. Cooked perfectly MR and had a sauce that was as soothing as the smell of a good veal stock on the stove. Also had a kind of key lime... More

This place was an absolute disappointment when it came to staff. The ambiance was there, the drinks were on the creative side. It doesn't offer much for entertainment or people watching because it's very intimate, but that is what my husband and I were searching for. The service was ridiculously bad though. I have been a waitress and like to... More

I can't think of one good thing about The Fluke. Okay, it was clean and light. Two flights up, an indifferent staff and extremely uninspired food for the price. Portions were tiny also. Other tables received bread we didn't. Water was never refilled, we were never asked if we wanted drink refills. Our plates were cleared before we were finished!... More

My wife and I ate here on the day we arrived in Newport. We ordered a bottle of Pino Noir ($30). We had a selection of cheeses and meats for an appetizer. We also had olives and Marcona almonds. The total was about $120 with tip. The service was good, but not super attentive. Also, We sat on the third... More

Went here for dinner while staying in Newport. The food was good, although I do wish there was a bit more varity. The staff was really nice and checked in a few times during the meal. Even the bus buy was interested in how our meals were and was extreamly friendly. We were unsure what wine we wanted and insted... More
