on Citysearch Nov 12, 2008Is a treat, but not if you are on a budget, dessert alone will cost $9, drinks at the bar aren't cheap either. The ambiance though is what makes it worth it! It is a colonial historic building, lit by candles and a... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 17, 2008Perhaps one of the best restaurants I've been to. Cozy atmosphere in an historic and drafty building (bring a sweater in winter). Fireplaces help heat and add to the ambience. Expensive. VERY. We had a gift... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 29, 2005A friend and I went here for Sunday brunch. She has two small children, and although for dinner, the White Horse is probably not "kid friendly" it certainly is for a casual meal such as brunch. When we arrived we... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 20, 2004We wanted to have a special dinner in Newport, and this place was recommended. Other than the facts the floor was 1680's original and that t it is a romantic setting, food was very average, wine was below average,... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2002The waiter was like a rookie cab driver, I had to send my meal back because it was under- cooked and I easily spent twice as much as what the "lack" of experience was worth. A highly unfortuate meal and evening out.... (more)
