The restaurant has separate parts to it, i was in the entry way and it’s very nice in there when the weather is nice. It seems... as though they allow dogs inside on the patio portion but maybe it was all service dogs. I’m not sure. The waitstaff was greatand super helpful but the dish I got had an amazing flavor to it but a weird texture? Very sandy and grainy? I’m not sure ifit was supposed to be like that or if I got a mistake. I couldn’t finish it even though it tasted great. The texture was likeeating cauliflower covered in beach sand. I was feeling shy this day and didn’t ask though or mention it to the wait staff soit’s kind of my own fault if I didn’t like it. It could have been a mistake. Read more
Quite possibly my new favorite place to eat. It’s a really cool restaurant with lots of options and great food. They’ve got... a big patio out front, another area has a bar-style vibe, and the upstairs has a more elegant feel. Felt like a choose your ownadventure, based on where you sit. It used to be a bank and they kept the vault front and center of the bar. A lot of the decorupstairs has a renaissance feel. The straws are made of gluten free pasta. It’s a small example of the attention to detail bythis place. The build your own boards are really good. We did the honey, goat cheese, burrata, duck, and crostinis. I also gotthe clam chowder which was really good. By the time our entrees arrived we were pretty full, but the entrees were great as well.Then, just for the hell of it, we got the bread pudding and apple crisp to go :) Service was a little slow but very friendly andgot everything right. I cannot recommend this place more highly. I’ll be back often for at least drinks, boards, and desserts! Read more
it’s beautiful inside! We sat on the second floor and had live jazz played for us up there. Very warm environment. The food... was good. I definitely recommend the charcuterie board! The entree portions were really large. Read more
My wife and I tried Bar and Board on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed ourselves! The location is newly renovated. An open... concept design with clean appointments that is set against the character of it's past life as a bank. The vault door serves asthe backdrop for the downstairs bar. Nice cocktail ($14/ea) and wine list ($10-$13/glass). The appetizers were a good portionand varied from oysters, duck drumetts, scallops, and shrimp dishes. While we didn't try any main courses, they were varied andlooked good from what we saw being served. The staff was friendly and informative. We will be going back for dinner...theyaccept reservations. :) Definitely worth a try. Read more
I love this place! Great food, and build-your-own cheese board option. We also come here for tacos trivia on Tuesday nights and... it’s always a good time. I’m satisfied with the variety of vegetarian options here. The drinks are a little on the priceyside, but the cocktails are creative and very tasty. Overall, I highly recommend it. Read more
Underrated restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was excellent. Oysters were fresh. Scallop was perfectly... cooked. Halibut was delicious, well balanced. Lobster Mac and cheese was very yummy. Read more
Day trip in Newport RI included getting dinner at this bar/bistro. Located on a busy section of Newport; parking is not easy... especially on the weekends. I think this place used to be a bank; it has a bank vault. It’s more of a bar than a restaurant. The atmosphere is for happy hour with friends or coworkers after work. The food was ok ; bar good not great restaurant food. Iwould give this place 3 stars for the bar & 2 stars for the food for a total of 2.5 stars. Read more
