Tables Of Content - Newport

Another nice dinner in Sylvia Beach Tables of Content. The hummus was made with fresh Garbanzo beans, the Naan/Pita bread was this amazing combo (I can't remember), the lamb was boiled to perfection, the salad was so fresh and laid pretty every salad I had ever to be ashamed, and the almond cake was divine. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the service was fantastic as usual! A wonderful meal to finish a rainy day!

Consistently delicious meals featuring fresh locally-sourced seasonal ingredients, served by friendly staff. When I’ve dined here “in the before times” the seating was always 8-to-a-table, with an assortment of other guests, and we were encouraged to play a game known by the descriptive name “two truths and a lie” — each player makes three statements, and the other players try to guess which one is false. During the pandemic lockdown, they’ve changed things up a bit: limiting seating to one party per table, and requiring masks on staff and, when not eating, guests. The waitstaff and the kitchen are generally flexible and eager to help. Somewhere between the kitchen and the hotel upstairs, however, someone grows protective of the kitchen and deflects requests for what they consider to be too strict of dietary requirements. Sometimes this can come across as condescending or exclusionary, as when they told my wife — suffering from the weird complex of symptoms following her COVID infection last summer, know as long-haulers syndrome — “we like to celebrate food here, not cater to such stringent food restrictions.” For people with specific dietary needs, they and we both recommend Zach’s Bistro around the corner. If you’re able to eat more broadly without much concern for The details of the ingredients used (beyond their freshness and flavor), do reserve yourself a seat at the Table of Content.

The very best always. Staff is amazing and so is the food. My recommendation is that you experience this place for yourself. It's a must!

By FAR The Best Restaurant In Newport! Ignore pseudo fancy restaurants on the Bayfront and other places if you can get a table here. Great home cooked multicourse meals with wine pairings. Service and setting are very good too. Definitely recommend!

We?ve been coming here for over thirty years, and the quality remains. In fact, they?ve been using locally sourced before that was a trend. They serve a four course meal, with a choice of four entrees. Usually lamb/beef/pork, or chicken/duck or seafood or vegetarian. The salads are always amazing. Dessert recently was a chocolate hazelnut torte with caramel sauce. Reasonably priced Oregon and International wines are available. All by the glass, which is nice, with chef recommended pairings. They offer a flight to align with courses, as well.
