The Safari Room

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

This is a great spot to dine on a nice evening. Relaxing with beautiful views . Clam Chowder was excellent, Main courses were average. Based just on the entrees this would have been an average rating but the setting bumps it up Server was a... bit too attentive - doing the hard sell on additional drinks and deserts. Will go back if in the area. More

Safari Room is a casual elegant restaurant serving American cuisine located in Newport, Rhode Island at the Ocean Cliff Hotel.This was my first time eating there. The menu has a wide variety of options. Regarding quality and presentation of food, the items I’ve ordered were... all very good.. We ordered the ahi tuna ceviche, charcuterie, Bavarian pretzel, and the safari burger, which were all very good. It was cooked to order. Portion size was appropriate for the price point and restaurant style. Customers can expect to pay roughly fifty per person, including drinks. Beverage wise, we tried the Seasonal Seventy Five and the Litchfield Lemonade which were all amazing. We did make reservations in advance, and it took approximately 0-5 minutes to be seated. Drinks came out fast. Appetizers came out fast. Main courses came out fast. The serving staff was delightful and attentive. I’d best describe the atmosphere of the restaurant as being sophisticated and charming. It’s feels very unique, which does lend itself to the intended brand identity and cuisine style. I wouldn’t say that anything, food or drinks wise, was “knock it out of the ballpark” great – but the paranoramic view of Narragansett Bay is unbelievable and worth the trip, alone. Plus, the servers are all very, very nice and take great care of you. Regarding ambiance, the restaurant is naturally lit and the noise level is average. It is a good choice for families with small children. Scale wise, tables are spread out within one dining room, lending itself to the restaurant’s expansive feel. CliffHarbor Mansion is jaw-dropping gorgeous, so really – having a place to eat is just an added bonus. Overall, I would recommend and will definitely be returning. More

Hi Twinairsigns, thank you for this wonderful review! We are happy you were able to try a few different things on our menu and enjoyed all of them. We will pass along your kind words to our staff, and we look forward to welcoming you... More

Bobby took care of us and he was very attentive, very friendly and professional throughout the dining experience. He mentioned been at the establishment for awhile and you can tell that it's fun, dedicated people like him that make this place special. My parents and... I came for restaurant week and they give you plenty of great options for sandwiches, entrees and half off of certain bottles of wine. The brussel sprout salad had a nice vinaigrette style dressing. I really liked the brussel sprouts and next time will ask for maybe a couple more on the salad, or I'll see if I can get some on the side. The bacon wrapped scallops come with a fruity glaze on the side that gives you sweet, salty, and crispy. They are a roller coaster and you'll The chicken pot pie comes deconstructed with the puff pastry on top. That way you can cut a part of the browned on the outside and fluffy on the inside. That flaky pastry goes so well with the chicken pot pie mix. More places should do this - it was fantastic. My dad was 50/50 about dessert and Bobby gave my dad a great recommendation for the dessert and all of us tried some of it. It was a coffee ice cream with some crushed Oreos and whipped cream. It sounds simple but they put a couple of glazes around the dish that added to it. Definitely recommend giving their coffee (decaf or regular) a try before you head out if you need something. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and it was great black. This restaurant pays attention to the details and it's what makes this establishment a great place to visit. Jay, the manager, mentioned that they're working on having some live music over the summer. They have a great venue that overlooks the water and I have no doubt this will be a very fun place during the summer. Dress smart casual, take some friends/family, and bring a smile cause you'll have a great time. More

Hello Joe, thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review! We are thrilled you and your parents enjoyed your meals. The chicken pot pie is one of our favorites so we are glad you tried it and loved it.... More

We stopped here for lunch while spending a few days in Newport. We were seated outdoors and the view overlooks the harbor, so while enjoying our food we saw multiple sailboats go by! Very relaxing. The food was ok, not great.

We were warned in advance that due to hiring issues the menu had been considerably abbreviated, so this review simply highlights the superb setting and excellent service that we received here. Hard to find a nicer spot, even in RI, and it was a lovely... summer evening. Service superb. Food - due to menu cutbacks was more than adequate, but couldn't be called "fine dining" . More

Hello Gary S- thank you for dining with us and taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your birthday/anniversary dinner. We hope to see you again soon.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the deck over looking the bay, just after sunset. Relaxed with some fun signature drinks and transitioned to a fantastic cheese board and a bottle of Justin. Was surprised to see only a couple of choices for cab.. I’m... assuming if were to ask for the full wine list we could have broadened our choice. Our server was excellent, spaced out our courses appropriately so we didn’t feel rushed. The lobster mac was off the charts and the salmon cooked to perfection. More

Hi Kristen! Thank you for dining with us and sharing that gorgeous photo of the sunset you enjoyed during dinner! We do have a nice selection of Cabernet, and we apologize if you were not offered our full list. We love making recommendations of our... More

This view never ceases to put a big, fat, smile on my face...add crazy good cocktails, killer satay, fresh-crisp salads, tender Milanese, flaky cod and thou! Girls lunch on Sunday was Ab Fab and so was our extremely attentive and gracious waitress Maggie. She delivered... on all our requests (there were many) - nailed it! I have hosted many a birthday parties, a few fundraisers and a wedding at Ocean Cliff - thank you to the staff, the property and all they offer...I enjoy a lifetime of stellar memories. More

Susan- thank you so much for dining with us and for the fabulous review! Our staff always enjoys reading reviews like this. It lets us know we are making our customers happy and doing something right! We are so grateful to have been a part... More

My husband and I made a reservation on Open Table, but we went early and they were nice enough to accommodate us. We sat outside and the view was gorgeous! The drinks and food were good, but nothing special. Our server was very friendly and... helpful with any questions we had. We would go back for the view any time! More

The safari room is a great place to enjoy a view of Newport harbor. The food and service are good. There are also some condos on the property that you can rent which are great value. There is a swimming pool that one can avail... of if you rent. It is a shame they do not install a simple 1-room gym and fix the tennis courts and then it would be an even better place to stay. More

Hello Ken! Thank you so much for dining with us and taking the time to share your experience. The Safari Room is located inside OceanCliff Hotel (with spectacular views of Newport Harbor!), but the condos and swimming pool you are referring to belong to OceanCliff... More

Excellent lunch during restaurant week. Everyone working there were pleasant, friendly, helpful and efficient. We had the swordfish club and a steak sandwich with the house salad which were on the restaurant week menu. Everything was very good but the swordfish club was amazingly tasty.... We also took advantage of the half priced bottle of wine. Took what remained of the bottle after lunch and sat on the Adirondack chairs over looking the bay. We really enjoyed the views and the entire experience. We usually stay and eat at restaurants in the downtown area like the Black Pearl, Bowen’s 22, and the Mooring ( all recommended) but in the future the first menu we will check on restaurant week will be the Safari Room for both the food and the serenity. More

Will definitely return on a summer day when the ocean view is visible. The driveway does not explain the direction to the Safari Room, difficult to find it at night. We dined at the Safari Room on a very cold night. Couldn’t believe there was... no VALET! The entrance is not very inviting, and the lobby is not decorated elegantly like you would expect. The bar area is beautiful, exquisite mahogany and nicely lit. The dining room is not at all cozy or intimate. Very bare, no ambiance. Service was excellent. Just a little slow. Food was great. Loved the honeycomb on the cheese dish. Good crusted Salmon. Excellent Short Ribs! Very lean and tender. Delicious Creme Brûlée! More

First visit. Our bartender and server was Hogan. He was terrific. Food and service was equally excellent. I had onion soup and wife had chowder. Very happy with both. Entrees we’re short ribs and steak sandwich. Also very good. No complaints. Only irritating occurrence. We... stopped in during the day to make reservations and we’re told they couldn’t possibly fit us in tonight. We decided to come in anyway and try to get a seat at the bar. There were two people at the bar and restaurant was almost empty!? We were the only ones at the bar when we left and the restaurant was still almost empty. I don’t get it. Very enjoyable visit anyway. More

Worst worst dinner we had in Newport. reservations were for 7. Didn’t get seated till almost 7:30. Restaurant was 1/4 full. My chicken was completely inedible. My friends burger was so so that he took 2 bites and passes. My other friends lobster mac and... cheese was a pathetic excuse for soupy mac & cheese with some lobster . No wonder place is empty - service and food was awful. Great view. More

Hi Trip711628, thanks for dining with us at the Safari Room at OceanCliff. We appreciate the feedback and we are sorry to hear about your experience. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our General Manager, Joe Pitrone, at [email protected].

If you are looking for a classy place to eat out that great dinner in Newport RI then this is one of those places. One time we went in my wife and I as they had a sign to go in for Hot Chocolate. We... did and it was the best I have ever had, Like eating fudge. also had some pastry with it. a bit on the expensive side to be sure.But it was worth every penny. We have also gone in for some really great will great is not a good word, Outstanding is the correct word. Set by itself near the mansions and cliff walk this is a truly romantic spot for dining. The views are breathtaking overlooking the ocean. Not a place to bring the kids for dinner. I dont bring mine and they are married. More

Barry, wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing that we have exceeded our customers' expectations when dining with us. We hope you will join us again for date night, or even with family or friends sometime as well. We would... More

We had a perfect casual dinner with an amazing sunset view . The waitress was very attentive . It is not expensive , but it’s not a 5 star dining menu, very casual . Would go again . A much cheaper alternative to Castle Hill... Inn. More

Alena- we are so happy to hear you were able to enjoy a casual night out with us at The Safari Room. Thank you for the wonderful review and taking the time to leave us feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

The Safari Room

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

This is a great spot to dine on a nice evening. Relaxing with beautiful views . Clam Chowder was excellent, Main courses were average. Based just on the entrees this would have been an average rating but the setting bumps it up Server was a... bit too attentive - doing the hard sell on additional drinks and deserts. Will go back if in the area. More

Safari Room is a casual elegant restaurant serving American cuisine located in Newport, Rhode Island at the Ocean Cliff Hotel.This was my first time eating there. The menu has a wide variety of options. Regarding quality and presentation of food, the items I’ve ordered were... all very good.. We ordered the ahi tuna ceviche, charcuterie, Bavarian pretzel, and the safari burger, which were all very good. It was cooked to order. Portion size was appropriate for the price point and restaurant style. Customers can expect to pay roughly fifty per person, including drinks. Beverage wise, we tried the Seasonal Seventy Five and the Litchfield Lemonade which were all amazing. We did make reservations in advance, and it took approximately 0-5 minutes to be seated. Drinks came out fast. Appetizers came out fast. Main courses came out fast. The serving staff was delightful and attentive. I’d best describe the atmosphere of the restaurant as being sophisticated and charming. It’s feels very unique, which does lend itself to the intended brand identity and cuisine style. I wouldn’t say that anything, food or drinks wise, was “knock it out of the ballpark” great – but the paranoramic view of Narragansett Bay is unbelievable and worth the trip, alone. Plus, the servers are all very, very nice and take great care of you. Regarding ambiance, the restaurant is naturally lit and the noise level is average. It is a good choice for families with small children. Scale wise, tables are spread out within one dining room, lending itself to the restaurant’s expansive feel. CliffHarbor Mansion is jaw-dropping gorgeous, so really – having a place to eat is just an added bonus. Overall, I would recommend and will definitely be returning. More

Hi Twinairsigns, thank you for this wonderful review! We are happy you were able to try a few different things on our menu and enjoyed all of them. We will pass along your kind words to our staff, and we look forward to welcoming you... More

Bobby took care of us and he was very attentive, very friendly and professional throughout the dining experience. He mentioned been at the establishment for awhile and you can tell that it's fun, dedicated people like him that make this place special. My parents and... I came for restaurant week and they give you plenty of great options for sandwiches, entrees and half off of certain bottles of wine. The brussel sprout salad had a nice vinaigrette style dressing. I really liked the brussel sprouts and next time will ask for maybe a couple more on the salad, or I'll see if I can get some on the side. The bacon wrapped scallops come with a fruity glaze on the side that gives you sweet, salty, and crispy. They are a roller coaster and you'll The chicken pot pie comes deconstructed with the puff pastry on top. That way you can cut a part of the browned on the outside and fluffy on the inside. That flaky pastry goes so well with the chicken pot pie mix. More places should do this - it was fantastic. My dad was 50/50 about dessert and Bobby gave my dad a great recommendation for the dessert and all of us tried some of it. It was a coffee ice cream with some crushed Oreos and whipped cream. It sounds simple but they put a couple of glazes around the dish that added to it. Definitely recommend giving their coffee (decaf or regular) a try before you head out if you need something. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and it was great black. This restaurant pays attention to the details and it's what makes this establishment a great place to visit. Jay, the manager, mentioned that they're working on having some live music over the summer. They have a great venue that overlooks the water and I have no doubt this will be a very fun place during the summer. Dress smart casual, take some friends/family, and bring a smile cause you'll have a great time. More

Hello Joe, thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review! We are thrilled you and your parents enjoyed your meals. The chicken pot pie is one of our favorites so we are glad you tried it and loved it.... More

We stopped here for lunch while spending a few days in Newport. We were seated outdoors and the view overlooks the harbor, so while enjoying our food we saw multiple sailboats go by! Very relaxing. The food was ok, not great.

We were warned in advance that due to hiring issues the menu had been considerably abbreviated, so this review simply highlights the superb setting and excellent service that we received here. Hard to find a nicer spot, even in RI, and it was a lovely... summer evening. Service superb. Food - due to menu cutbacks was more than adequate, but couldn't be called "fine dining" . More

Hello Gary S- thank you for dining with us and taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your birthday/anniversary dinner. We hope to see you again soon.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the deck over looking the bay, just after sunset. Relaxed with some fun signature drinks and transitioned to a fantastic cheese board and a bottle of Justin. Was surprised to see only a couple of choices for cab.. I’m... assuming if were to ask for the full wine list we could have broadened our choice. Our server was excellent, spaced out our courses appropriately so we didn’t feel rushed. The lobster mac was off the charts and the salmon cooked to perfection. More

This view never ceases to put a big, fat, smile on my face...add crazy good cocktails, killer satay, fresh-crisp salads, tender Milanese, flaky cod and thou! Girls lunch on Sunday was Ab Fab and so was our extremely attentive and gracious waitress Maggie. She delivered... on all our requests (there were many) - nailed it! I have hosted many a birthday parties, a few fundraisers and a wedding at Ocean Cliff - thank you to the staff, the property and all they offer...I enjoy a lifetime of stellar memories. More

Susan- thank you so much for dining with us and for the fabulous review! Our staff always enjoys reading reviews like this. It lets us know we are making our customers happy and doing something right! We are so grateful to have been a part... More

My husband and I made a reservation on Open Table, but we went early and they were nice enough to accommodate us. We sat outside and the view was gorgeous! The drinks and food were good, but nothing special. Our server was very friendly and... helpful with any questions we had. We would go back for the view any time! More

The safari room is a great place to enjoy a view of Newport harbor. The food and service are good. There are also some condos on the property that you can rent which are great value. There is a swimming pool that one can avail... of if you rent. It is a shame they do not install a simple 1-room gym and fix the tennis courts and then it would be an even better place to stay. More

Hello Ken! Thank you so much for dining with us and taking the time to share your experience. The Safari Room is located inside OceanCliff Hotel (with spectacular views of Newport Harbor!), but the condos and swimming pool you are referring to belong to OceanCliff... More

Excellent lunch during restaurant week. Everyone working there were pleasant, friendly, helpful and efficient. We had the swordfish club and a steak sandwich with the house salad which were on the restaurant week menu. Everything was very good but the swordfish club was amazingly tasty.... We also took advantage of the half priced bottle of wine. Took what remained of the bottle after lunch and sat on the Adirondack chairs over looking the bay. We really enjoyed the views and the entire experience. We usually stay and eat at restaurants in the downtown area like the Black Pearl, Bowen’s 22, and the Mooring ( all recommended) but in the future the first menu we will check on restaurant week will be the Safari Room for both the food and the serenity. More

Will definitely return on a summer day when the ocean view is visible. The driveway does not explain the direction to the Safari Room, difficult to find it at night. We dined at the Safari Room on a very cold night. Couldn’t believe there was... no VALET! The entrance is not very inviting, and the lobby is not decorated elegantly like you would expect. The bar area is beautiful, exquisite mahogany and nicely lit. The dining room is not at all cozy or intimate. Very bare, no ambiance. Service was excellent. Just a little slow. Food was great. Loved the honeycomb on the cheese dish. Good crusted Salmon. Excellent Short Ribs! Very lean and tender. Delicious Creme Brûlée! More

First visit. Our bartender and server was Hogan. He was terrific. Food and service was equally excellent. I had onion soup and wife had chowder. Very happy with both. Entrees we’re short ribs and steak sandwich. Also very good. No complaints. Only irritating occurrence. We... stopped in during the day to make reservations and we’re told they couldn’t possibly fit us in tonight. We decided to come in anyway and try to get a seat at the bar. There were two people at the bar and restaurant was almost empty!? We were the only ones at the bar when we left and the restaurant was still almost empty. I don’t get it. Very enjoyable visit anyway. More

Worst worst dinner we had in Newport. reservations were for 7. Didn’t get seated till almost 7:30. Restaurant was 1/4 full. My chicken was completely inedible. My friends burger was so so that he took 2 bites and passes. My other friends lobster mac and... cheese was a pathetic excuse for soupy mac & cheese with some lobster . No wonder place is empty - service and food was awful. Great view. More

Hi Trip711628, thanks for dining with us at the Safari Room at OceanCliff. We appreciate the feedback and we are sorry to hear about your experience. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our General Manager, Joe Pitrone, at [email protected].

If you are looking for a classy place to eat out that great dinner in Newport RI then this is one of those places. One time we went in my wife and I as they had a sign to go in for Hot Chocolate. We... did and it was the best I have ever had, Like eating fudge. also had some pastry with it. a bit on the expensive side to be sure.But it was worth every penny. We have also gone in for some really great will great is not a good word, Outstanding is the correct word. Set by itself near the mansions and cliff walk this is a truly romantic spot for dining. The views are breathtaking overlooking the ocean. Not a place to bring the kids for dinner. I dont bring mine and they are married. More

Barry, wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing that we have exceeded our customers' expectations when dining with us. We hope you will join us again for date night, or even with family or friends sometime as well. We would... More

We had a perfect casual dinner with an amazing sunset view . The waitress was very attentive . It is not expensive , but it’s not a 5 star dining menu, very casual . Would go again . A much cheaper alternative to Castle Hill... Inn. More

Alena- we are so happy to hear you were able to enjoy a casual night out with us at The Safari Room. Thank you for the wonderful review and taking the time to leave us feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

The Safari Room

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

This is a great spot to dine on a nice evening. Relaxing with beautiful views . Clam Chowder was excellent, Main courses were average. Based just on the entrees this would have been an average rating but the setting bumps it up Server was a... bit too attentive - doing the hard sell on additional drinks and deserts. Will go back if in the area. More

Safari Room is a casual elegant restaurant serving American cuisine located in Newport, Rhode Island at the Ocean Cliff Hotel.This was my first time eating there. The menu has a wide variety of options. Regarding quality and presentation of food, the items I’ve ordered were... all very good.. We ordered the ahi tuna ceviche, charcuterie, Bavarian pretzel, and the safari burger, which were all very good. It was cooked to order. Portion size was appropriate for the price point and restaurant style. Customers can expect to pay roughly fifty per person, including drinks. Beverage wise, we tried the Seasonal Seventy Five and the Litchfield Lemonade which were all amazing. We did make reservations in advance, and it took approximately 0-5 minutes to be seated. Drinks came out fast. Appetizers came out fast. Main courses came out fast. The serving staff was delightful and attentive. I’d best describe the atmosphere of the restaurant as being sophisticated and charming. It’s feels very unique, which does lend itself to the intended brand identity and cuisine style. I wouldn’t say that anything, food or drinks wise, was “knock it out of the ballpark” great – but the paranoramic view of Narragansett Bay is unbelievable and worth the trip, alone. Plus, the servers are all very, very nice and take great care of you. Regarding ambiance, the restaurant is naturally lit and the noise level is average. It is a good choice for families with small children. Scale wise, tables are spread out within one dining room, lending itself to the restaurant’s expansive feel. CliffHarbor Mansion is jaw-dropping gorgeous, so really – having a place to eat is just an added bonus. Overall, I would recommend and will definitely be returning. More

Hi Twinairsigns, thank you for this wonderful review! We are happy you were able to try a few different things on our menu and enjoyed all of them. We will pass along your kind words to our staff, and we look forward to welcoming you... More

Bobby took care of us and he was very attentive, very friendly and professional throughout the dining experience. He mentioned been at the establishment for awhile and you can tell that it's fun, dedicated people like him that make this place special. My parents and... I came for restaurant week and they give you plenty of great options for sandwiches, entrees and half off of certain bottles of wine. The brussel sprout salad had a nice vinaigrette style dressing. I really liked the brussel sprouts and next time will ask for maybe a couple more on the salad, or I'll see if I can get some on the side. The bacon wrapped scallops come with a fruity glaze on the side that gives you sweet, salty, and crispy. They are a roller coaster and you'll The chicken pot pie comes deconstructed with the puff pastry on top. That way you can cut a part of the browned on the outside and fluffy on the inside. That flaky pastry goes so well with the chicken pot pie mix. More places should do this - it was fantastic. My dad was 50/50 about dessert and Bobby gave my dad a great recommendation for the dessert and all of us tried some of it. It was a coffee ice cream with some crushed Oreos and whipped cream. It sounds simple but they put a couple of glazes around the dish that added to it. Definitely recommend giving their coffee (decaf or regular) a try before you head out if you need something. I'm a bit of a coffee snob and it was great black. This restaurant pays attention to the details and it's what makes this establishment a great place to visit. Jay, the manager, mentioned that they're working on having some live music over the summer. They have a great venue that overlooks the water and I have no doubt this will be a very fun place during the summer. Dress smart casual, take some friends/family, and bring a smile cause you'll have a great time. More

Hello Joe, thank you so much for taking the time to write such an amazing review! We are thrilled you and your parents enjoyed your meals. The chicken pot pie is one of our favorites so we are glad you tried it and loved it.... More

We stopped here for lunch while spending a few days in Newport. We were seated outdoors and the view overlooks the harbor, so while enjoying our food we saw multiple sailboats go by! Very relaxing. The food was ok, not great.

We were warned in advance that due to hiring issues the menu had been considerably abbreviated, so this review simply highlights the superb setting and excellent service that we received here. Hard to find a nicer spot, even in RI, and it was a lovely... summer evening. Service superb. Food - due to menu cutbacks was more than adequate, but couldn't be called "fine dining" . More

Hello Gary S- thank you for dining with us and taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your birthday/anniversary dinner. We hope to see you again soon.

We enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the deck over looking the bay, just after sunset. Relaxed with some fun signature drinks and transitioned to a fantastic cheese board and a bottle of Justin. Was surprised to see only a couple of choices for cab.. I’m... assuming if were to ask for the full wine list we could have broadened our choice. Our server was excellent, spaced out our courses appropriately so we didn’t feel rushed. The lobster mac was off the charts and the salmon cooked to perfection. More

Hi Kristen! Thank you for dining with us and sharing that gorgeous photo of the sunset you enjoyed during dinner! We do have a nice selection of Cabernet, and we apologize if you were not offered our full list. We love making recommendations of our... More

This view never ceases to put a big, fat, smile on my face...add crazy good cocktails, killer satay, fresh-crisp salads, tender Milanese, flaky cod and thou! Girls lunch on Sunday was Ab Fab and so was our extremely attentive and gracious waitress Maggie. She delivered... on all our requests (there were many) - nailed it! I have hosted many a birthday parties, a few fundraisers and a wedding at Ocean Cliff - thank you to the staff, the property and all they offer...I enjoy a lifetime of stellar memories. More

Susan- thank you so much for dining with us and for the fabulous review! Our staff always enjoys reading reviews like this. It lets us know we are making our customers happy and doing something right! We are so grateful to have been a part... More

My husband and I made a reservation on Open Table, but we went early and they were nice enough to accommodate us. We sat outside and the view was gorgeous! The drinks and food were good, but nothing special. Our server was very friendly and... helpful with any questions we had. We would go back for the view any time! More

The safari room is a great place to enjoy a view of Newport harbor. The food and service are good. There are also some condos on the property that you can rent which are great value. There is a swimming pool that one can avail... of if you rent. It is a shame they do not install a simple 1-room gym and fix the tennis courts and then it would be an even better place to stay. More

Hello Ken! Thank you so much for dining with us and taking the time to share your experience. The Safari Room is located inside OceanCliff Hotel (with spectacular views of Newport Harbor!), but the condos and swimming pool you are referring to belong to OceanCliff... More

Excellent lunch during restaurant week. Everyone working there were pleasant, friendly, helpful and efficient. We had the swordfish club and a steak sandwich with the house salad which were on the restaurant week menu. Everything was very good but the swordfish club was amazingly tasty.... We also took advantage of the half priced bottle of wine. Took what remained of the bottle after lunch and sat on the Adirondack chairs over looking the bay. We really enjoyed the views and the entire experience. We usually stay and eat at restaurants in the downtown area like the Black Pearl, Bowen’s 22, and the Mooring ( all recommended) but in the future the first menu we will check on restaurant week will be the Safari Room for both the food and the serenity. More

Will definitely return on a summer day when the ocean view is visible. The driveway does not explain the direction to the Safari Room, difficult to find it at night. We dined at the Safari Room on a very cold night. Couldn’t believe there was... no VALET! The entrance is not very inviting, and the lobby is not decorated elegantly like you would expect. The bar area is beautiful, exquisite mahogany and nicely lit. The dining room is not at all cozy or intimate. Very bare, no ambiance. Service was excellent. Just a little slow. Food was great. Loved the honeycomb on the cheese dish. Good crusted Salmon. Excellent Short Ribs! Very lean and tender. Delicious Creme Brûlée! More

First visit. Our bartender and server was Hogan. He was terrific. Food and service was equally excellent. I had onion soup and wife had chowder. Very happy with both. Entrees we’re short ribs and steak sandwich. Also very good. No complaints. Only irritating occurrence. We... stopped in during the day to make reservations and we’re told they couldn’t possibly fit us in tonight. We decided to come in anyway and try to get a seat at the bar. There were two people at the bar and restaurant was almost empty!? We were the only ones at the bar when we left and the restaurant was still almost empty. I don’t get it. Very enjoyable visit anyway. More

Worst worst dinner we had in Newport. reservations were for 7. Didn’t get seated till almost 7:30. Restaurant was 1/4 full. My chicken was completely inedible. My friends burger was so so that he took 2 bites and passes. My other friends lobster mac and... cheese was a pathetic excuse for soupy mac & cheese with some lobster . No wonder place is empty - service and food was awful. Great view. More
