We made a reservation for Saturday night during Restaurant Week. I am a vegetarian and they were happy to confirm over the phone that they would adapt their prix fixe menu for me. We were told they were sold out but would we accept a table near the kitchen. We arrived early and were seated by the window, server could... more

My husband and I loved this restaurant. The wait staff is both efficient and relaxed at the same time, in additon to being helpful with the menu. We especially appreciated their understanding with our situation - our cab picked us up almost an hour late which made us arrive half an hr past our reservation time and they were so... more

The emphasis at Spark is on the food, the decor is pretty low budget. Nonetheless we brought our wine, ordered our dinners and were rewarded with the most creative and tasty food of the entire trip. The prices were low especially considering how much fun we had. Go. They can all ways add some fancy decor and raise the prices... more

Spark was one of the four restaurants we visited during the week we were in Newport. It was not the best but was very nice indeed. Funky decor, eclectic menu and great food. It's a BYOB but don't worry if you go empty handed. They have a list that can be delivered to you for the store price plus a... more

Went to Spark in Mid-July on a Sat night. Reminded me so much of restaurants on the lower east side/greenwich village...I had to do a double take. The settings are very laid back...certainly not formal in any way, an is in a part of town that is hip/different (in that I could buy a bong next door...the village context should... more

My husband and I planned a day trip to Newport last Wednesday. After a quick visit to TripAdvisor, we planned on heading to SPARK for dinner. Let me just premise this by telling you we go out for dinner quite often but we're not snobs or critics. We just appreciate good food, and someone else doing the dishes LOL. Spark's... more

We were visiting Newport for the weekend and took our friends (locals from Jamestown) to Spark for dinner based upon the reviews. Our meal was uniformly excellent and enjoyed by all. Appetizers were our favorites with Thai shrimp nachos and free form ravioli at the top of the list. Fresh ingredients and creative combinations. Good service. BYO keeps the price... more

Delicious!

At the last minute, my husband and I decided to spend the 4th of July weekend in Newport, our first time visiting the city. I searched the internet to find a great restaurant and saw the TripAdvisor rating for Spark. How could we go wrong? We were lucky to secure a reservation on the 4th at 6pm, but ran almost... more
