Zelda's Newport

The service and atmosphere at this restaurant were good, but the food was just average. I had higher expectations, but it was only ok. The salad was the standout dish and was very good. Overall, I would rate the food a 3, service a 5, and atmosphere a 5. I would recommend trying the Pear and Brie Salad. The price per person for dinner ranges from $30 to $50.

The highlight of the meal was definitely the dessert. Although the entree was tasty, it was a bit too expensive for what it was. It felt like something that could easily be made at home for $15 rather than paying $30 at the restaurant. Additionally, the service was okay despite one lady having to serve a full restaurant. Overall, I would give the food a rating of 4, the service a rating of 3, and the atmosphere a rating of 4.

The service at this restaurant was exceptional, particularly the hostess with curly hair who was very helpful. The dessert was delicious and the food was good overall. The atmosphere was great. It was a bit difficult to find parking, but there were options for both free and paid street parking available. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. Service rating: 5 Food rating: 4 Atmosphere rating: 5 Price per person: $100+ Meal type: Dinner.

I had a 4:30 reservation on Saturday, 8/19 but was seated at 4:45 due to our guests arriving late. We were informed that we needed to be finished by 6:15 for the next reservation. When our entrees were served at 6:08, our guest went to the host stand and found the next party waiting for our table. He bought them a round of drinks to stall them and give us more time to eat (10 minutes). We were rushed, barely finished, and they cleared our table at 6:23. We ended up going to another restaurant for drinks and dessert. I called the restaurant to express my disappointment and was promised a call back from the manager, but didn't hear anything. When I followed up four days later, I finally spoke to the manager, Jason. He invited us back to dine at our expense, but after spending $350 and feeling embarrassed in front of our guests, I declined. I informed him that when we return to Newport, we will choose to eat at Pasta Beach instead. I recommend dining elsewhere to avoid a similar experience.
