Le Stinko!
We would not recommend this restaurant. Our bread was over cooked and too crunchy... tasted burned. We both ordered Caesar salads. Mine had croutons & cheese, my husband's did not have anything except lettuce & dressing. The asparagus was undercooked and almost raw.
The portions were quite small for the price and we had to wait 50 minutes for our meal. Our waitress ignored us the whole time. We had to flag her down for drinks twice and then again to get our bill. We had no interest in staying for dessert. We visit Newport twice each summer and would never recommend Le Bistro to anyone. We were asked our opinion of the restaurant as we were leaving by another couple. We told them the truth and they immediately turned around and went to the restaurant next door.    [30 Jul 2004 20:32:42]

Great Meal!
Monday 3/28/05 Saw an ad in our Hotel directory (Hampton Inn) so we went downtown to Le Bistro. Seated at a table by the window overlooking the wharf we proceeded to have a great meal at a wonderful price, one entree was free! We shared a Caesar salad which they graciously split for us that had just the right amount of sacvory dressing and croutons. I had a sirloin steak with pomme fritts. it was wonderful done, just right. My wife had Sea scallops over linguni and was delighted. Service was attentative and smooth. The bread was warm, moist inside and crunchy out side.    [31 Mar 2005 14:31:36]

Loved the food
We went in June of 05. Got there right when it opened for dinner, 5pm. Got a window seat with view of the tree but did see some harbor.
The whole time we were there there was only one other couple in the place.
We had a great meal, not too filling, very flavorful. My sea scallops were huge and broiled in garlic butter, served with wild rice and grilled asparagus, done al dente and perfect. The meal was not heavy, we didn't feel cheated but we didn't feel overly stuffed either. Service was okay.    [27 Jul 2005 09:18:26]
