Residing inside the historic Agassiz Mansion at Castle Hill Inn, Aurelia is the next evolution in Castle Hill’s culinary journey – one that has been lauded as one of the best dining experiences in New England. Nestled on forty magical acres, the property has been the backdrop of memorable occasions for more than a century.

The Forbes and Relais & Chateaux restaurant, known in its original incarnation as The Dining Room at Castle Hill, offers a six-course prix fixe menu with imaginative dishes utilizing the local bounty of produce, seafood, and artisanal producers.

Aurelia’s dining rooms overlook Narragansett Bay in all its raw beauty. As the bay’s seascape and surrounding landscape change subtly with the seasons, so does Aurelia’s menu, culminating in a truly memorable experience.

    Our Aurelia fine dining evening was a beautiful 2.5 hour six course experience with servers and sommeliers who are knowledgeable and engaging throughout the service.

    I usually don’t take the time to write reviews but Aurelia more than deserves this one. In a sentence, I see why they have two Michelin stars. The sign at the door tells you all you need to know. Everything from start to finish was fantastic, the food, the staff, and the prestige wines were even more fantastic. I know Michelin says a two star restaurant is only “worth the detour” but for us this one was the destination, and it didn’t disappoint.

    This was truly one of my top five best dining experiences. From the incredible food, to the attention to detail, to the gift bag on the way out - everything was flawless. The service was exceptional and the mocktail pairings really blew me away. We will absolutely be dining with you again.

    Restaurant was unable to accommodate a dairy intolerance with the prix fixe menu, even though the regular menu was available to diners at the bar. Forced a food selection that included raw amberjack which I had said I could not eat. Pescatarian, so ordered the cod for main course. It was barely cooked and no substitute was offered for the meat which came with the dish (explained no-meat diet) yet still charged full price. Server poured champagne that we did not ask for as we already had cocktails, then charged us $35 for it. $400 on food alone and the best part was the sourdough bread. Left hungry.
