Great food, drinks, music and atmosphere ... We love this place..... Never fails to make for a fun night. Although, the brunch makes a great Sunday Fun day!

The food was terrible. One of the dishes, we ordered was the NY steak. It was a tough piece of meat. The meal portions are extremely small. We didnt even want to try desert. We had to order dinner again at the hotel. I dont understand where the great reviews are coming from.

We dined at the Fifth Element during a girl's weekend in Newport, RI. It was very busy (glad we had reservations), our waiter Nicoli was great. The menu is limited but everything we had was great (especially the mussels, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding). We will definetely be back! DO NOT MISS the Sticky Toffee Pudding!!

My wife and I usually enjoy our experiences here (as my earlier review attests), though the other night was terribly disappointing. Dining room was virtually empty on a rainy night - three tables, including ourselves and the other two tables were finishing up when we arrived. Hosted seated us and for all intents and purposes was our waitress the rest... More

For me, the decor of a restaurant is a big factor. Fifth Element does a really great job. Very modern. Two thumbs way up. The food was also amazing and we had a very pleasant server. Very reasonably priced as well - with the area and the quality of this place I think they could get away with charging way... More

About a month ago I hosted a couple's baby shower at the Fifth Element in Newport and it was a TREMENDOUS hit! As a long time newport resident, now living off the "island", it was really nice to celebrate such a joyous occasion in such a great, homey place. It is a favorite spot of the parents-to-be and I can... More

Love everything about the Fifth Element except the limited menu. Really wish they had a slightly bigger selection. If you're a picky eater then you're limited to the burger or pizza. Please offer something more!!!!!

Service was friendly and timely. Food was okay, but menu limited, only one pizza special.......burger, salmon and pizzas were the best choices from our large group. We ordered just about every app, salads and several other dinners. Toffee pudding was the best choice of the night, don't pass on it!
