What Douglas Wright doesn't like about Safari Room Restaurant:
Six of us went for brunch. We booked based on the location and Open Table Diners choice award noted on the website. The location lived up to the photos but the food was so very disappointing. Service wasn’t great either. Food was mediocre at best. If you want a drink to sit and look at the view then go. If you want a meal, go else where. View all feedback. What Mark S likes about Safari Room Restaurant:
Beautiful place. Like most wedding venues the dinning crowd is not as important. Clam chowder was great, chicken wings were meaty and tender (just don't care for that particular seasoning). The burger was OK had better at Applebee's of all places. Wine sangrias were very good. View all feedback.

Normally amazing! Likely off due to Newport restaurant week. The music was so loud we had to ask twice to get it turned down.

The Safari Room, located at Ocean Cliff in Newport, offers a beautiful location with a view of the bay. The food and service received mixed reviews, with some diners finding the food to be heavy on mayonnaise and slow service, while others found the food and service to be excellent. One reviewer mentioned feeling uncomfortable due to the way they were treated by the staff. Overall, the ambience was described as a bit bizarre, but the views and the experience were still enjoyable for many. The restaurant offers a great venue for weddings and special occasions, with a real Newport vibe. The Restaurant Week menu was a hit with some diners, while others were disappointed by certain aspects, such as gluten-free options not being available. Despite some mixed reviews, many diners praised the delicious food, large portions, and attentive service. The overall experience at the Safari Room was found to be fabulous, with friendly staff, great wine selection, and delicious food. For those looking for a Newport dining experience with a view, Ocean Cliff and the Safari Room are worth a visit.

Everyone loved their meals. Calamari was outstanding. The Bucatini with clams was the best I ever had.
