Unfathomably poor service and cuisine, AND exorbitantly expensive. Service was sullen and slow. Dishes were brought out cold and were generally bland. Our two different entrees -- poultry and meat -- had the exact same heavy, sweet brown sauce, and were way underdone. Dessert tasted like it came out of a wrapper last week. Worst tourist trap in Newport. Avoid... more

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Spiced Pear and were not disappointed, except that with that view we wished we were staying at the Inn! We arrived a little early and had cocktails on the terrace to watch a gorgeous sunset. In reviewing the menu we both had a number of things we wanted to try and... more

We visited the Spiced Pear at the Chanler House on August 26th to celebrate our anniversary. As we live out of state, we made reservations weeks ahead and even confirmed them the day before. Yet when we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess could not find our reservation. Turned out that the reservation was put under my husband's first rather... more

I had dinner with my husband on the terrace (great view!) and we had a very nice time. Nice food and a good list of wines. Service was just impeccable. We invited a friend for Sunday brunch few days after and it was a completely different experience. Hostess at reception has been very unprofessional and unhelpful, service at the table... more

My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary at the Spiced Pear and we both agreed it was the best dining experience we'd ever enjoyed. Like others, we began with cocktails out on the terrace. We missed the sunset but there was a beautiful red moon that cast light across the water; the view was breathtaking. The interior... more

We had dinner at the Spiced Pear in early August and it was fantastic all around... food, service, view. It is too bad that all these weird reviews have come in because it could really deter folks from going and having a great experience. We had the tasting menu and there were a few things that we just didn't eat.... more

Lured by the review posted on The Perrin Post 8/20/07, which described a surprisingly child-friendly atmosphere are The Spiced Pear, we just tried it out for lunch on Monday and left before our meal was served. The terrace setting is not ideal for kids: the lawn described is over a stone wall with steps leading down to the beach. It... more

Our hotel concierge had recommended this restaurant in the Chandler for a wonderful lunch spot with a view. We thought the menu quite pricey for lunch, but splurged because the view and the patio can't be beat for a memorable occassion. Our waitress was great and we had a great lunch. After lunch we walked along the cliff path. Wish... more

Upscale dining all the way. Georgeous view of the Atlantic and beach overlooking the Cliff Walk. Lamb was off the charts...fishes are great as well as the chowders. Really wowed by the service and attention to detail. Wine list is immense and they keep your glass full. more
