This little restaurant is worth every penny, good seafood, good portions, good service. We were very happy it really meet our expectations. I visited 2 times and both times I was satisfied with the food.

Benjamin's has a very nice breakfast menu with a full bar open at 8 a.m. There are also raw bar items available if you are so inclined to get an early start on some oysters.

Yeah, I think I annoyed my parents every couple hours about going back to Benjamin's for oysters. We went here our first night for dinner and my balsamic flavored scallops were amazing! In addition to that, they have a happy hour raw bar so I was in heaven! We ended up going to this joint 3 times over a 48-hour... More

I just dined at Benjamin's this past weekend after visiting family up in Newport. We went up to the dining room on the second floor, and during our wait, ventured up to the top floor of the "Crow's nest"- a very nice small bar at the top of the restaurant.

They were good, but when we got the bill it was 50.00 for two sandwiches. The waitress gave us a story how they were working on changing the menu. The thing is she did not... More

We had a late breakfast on a Sunday in April 2013 when stopping in at Benjamin's on a lark. Unique and pleasant interior but crowded and small. They appeared backed up and waited tables somewhat out of order, but we were not in a rush, so don't sweat it. My wife & I both had omelettes and they covered the... More

We stumbled over Benjamin's when looking for breakfast on a cold April morning. (no diners in Newport that's for sure) It's a warm pubby atmosphere right off Thames and close to our hotel. We all had delicious fluffy cheese omelettes and yummy home fries. On the 2nd morning we splurged and had the thick sliced french toast with fresh strawberries-... More
