Delicious salads to start . Petit Filet perfectly cooked . Scallops were divine with beets as their side . House Pinot Grigio was ok - not great , was hoping for a few N.A. beer choices but sadly only had Heineken . More & more restaurants are offering several choices . Brownie candy dessert was amazing & well worth a trip back . Best food so far in Newport !

We were excited to dine at the White Horse Tavern based on their past reviews. The food and service exceeded our high expectations. Every item was fresh and presented perfectly. The taste and texture of the greens and Caesar salad was excellent. The scallop ad swordfish entrees were top shelf.

Food was wonderful and came out very fast. Smaller dining room and with tables very close you can hear conversations of others. Small menu but will be back as food was great!
