Best Live Music Restaurants in Newport

The food was great, and the atmosphere was very nice. The server took good care of us. We originally had bar seating and they were able to move us to the dining area where it’s not as loud. We had a great time.

Having been to a few of Jeff Ruby's restaurants through the years, including the fabulous new Fountain Square location, I wondered just how MRBL would compare. For our anniversary, we were looking for a nice celebratory experience with a nice view – and we could not have been more pleased! We began the evening with a Date Night Manhattan and a Blood Moon Paloma – each a perfectly crafted libation – as we looked out over the Ohio to the glowing Cincinnati skyline. Neither of us tend to have sizable appetites, so we went right on to entrees. From the beef Wellington to the Oscar-style bone-in filet and crispy, glazed Brussels sprouts... every bite was wonderfully flavorful. Everyone who served us, especially Lindsay, made our evening wonderful ... from the rose petals across the table to the complimentary champagne toast and dessert. Comparing with my Jeff Ruby's experiences? This was at least as good while at a lower price with a better view and free parking, all at an easily accessible location.

Our server was great - he made sure the place was set up well for our kids. We were delighted by the very strong Cuban coffee, great menu options for the kids, and lovely scenic view of the river. The decor was calming and fun to look at after a day at the aquarium. We will be back.

Such a beautiful and unique venue and bar/lounge night out. It’s such a vibe, and the drinks were great. We sat on the reservation side with music and will definitely be back

The food was delicious….and the Christmas decorations were beautiful….nice festive atmosphere.
