    Aunque me esperaba más opciones en el menú, lo que pedimos estuvo muy bueno; particularmente me dijeron que el platillo que pedí lleva 50 años en el menú. Muy bueno. Muy buen servicio y el lugar ambientado en la época de sus orígenes. Muy recomendable!

    After 34 years we retuned to the White Horse Tavern. The food was really delicious. My beef Wellington was perfect, just fork tender. The steak knife was not needed. The oysters were fresh and had the perfect taste of the sea. The recommended wine paired with the correct notes.

    I love this place and the food. Both times I’ve been here have been off season and it isn’t real crowded but you still want to make reservations. The staff is extremely friendly. The food and drinks are excellent. Highly recommend

    Wonderful dining experience. It was a cold night and we were lucky enough to get a table in front of the huge fireplace. Food and beverages were delicious. I’d definitely return again.

    Dining at The White Horse Tavern was exceptional and a must-see if you are visiting Newport. As the oldest operating restaurant in America, the tavern was cozy, and our servers were all attentive and friendly. The seafood and desserts were delicious.
