Black Pear - Barrington

It only takes one poor experience, right? I suppose I can now cross this off my list—the landmark in Newport. The outdoor seating was a nice touch, even with the rain. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended. The menu was lackluster at best. Our orders were mixed up, and the food runner, who seemed quite young, rolled their eyes often. One person in our group didn’t receive their meal until we had finished eating. Our waitress didn’t check on us until the very end, so I couldn’t address my cold, watery omelette that had vinegar in it (yes, vinegar). I ended up munching on tater tots and bacon and then went elsewhere for more food after brunch. This place is a one-time experience for me. I wouldn’t recommend it and don’t understand its appeal at all. There are plenty of other great spots to explore in Newport.

The menu was confusing, the food was burnt and served cold. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I spent $82 on three sandwiches and a bagel, which is just outrageous!

I absolutely love having breakfast at this restaurant! The food is fresh and delicious, and the service is excellent and very personal.

Fine dining mixed with casual cafe. The price point matches this, but I don't mind paying for the slow down atmosphere and pleasant employees. It's my ideal place to be.

Great small cafe with soups, sandwiches, and salads. Also sells fresh bread and local products! Breakfast all day and terrific coffee and tea options.
