I called the Spiced Pear the Saturday we arrived in Newport. I wanted a reservation for the same evening. I spoke to a very nice gentleman and told him it was my wife & my 27th anniversary, and we were hoping to get a nice table at a window facing the ocean. We were perfectly happy eating at any time,... more

When I called I told the reservationist that it was our 20th anniversary. From the time we arrived until we drove off to our hotel Spiced Pear was a fabulous experience. We were seated at a table with a great view of the Narragansett Bay. The person who seated us wished us a happy anniversary as did all of the... more

My wife and I dined at Spiced Pear on Saturday evening the 22nd of Nov for dinner. On top of the service not being up to par the food was just awful. Specifically, our first course was Foie Gras, which was undercooked and tasted more like Pate. Unfortunately this was the least of our problems, our 2nd course of crab... more

My husband and I went to the Spiced Pear while we were on our honeymoon. The food was less than decent and the portions were bird size. We got a bottle of water and it became communal water that neighboring tables used...for $10 THATS MY WATER!!! the other tables also paid for a $10 bottle without even a new one... more

Unfathomably poor service and cuisine, AND exorbitantly expensive. Service was sullen and slow. Dishes were brought out cold and were generally bland. Our two different entrees -- poultry and meat -- had the exact same heavy, sweet brown sauce, and were way underdone. Dessert tasted like it came out of a wrapper last week. Worst tourist trap in Newport. Avoid... more

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at the Spiced Pear and were not disappointed, except that with that view we wished we were staying at the Inn! We arrived a little early and had cocktails on the terrace to watch a gorgeous sunset. In reviewing the menu we both had a number of things we wanted to try and... more

We visited the Spiced Pear at the Chanler House on August 26th to celebrate our anniversary. As we live out of state, we made reservations weeks ahead and even confirmed them the day before. Yet when we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess could not find our reservation. Turned out that the reservation was put under my husband's first rather... more

their burgers are the best more

I had dinner with my husband on the terrace (great view!) and we had a very nice time. Nice food and a good list of wines. Service was just impeccable. We invited a friend for Sunday brunch few days after and it was a completely different experience. Hostess at reception has been very unprofessional and unhelpful, service at the table... more
