Overlooking Cliff Walk and Easton’s Bay, Cara invites guests to experience an evening shaped by the rhythm of the coast and the creativity of the kitchen. Here, Chef Jacob Jasinski and his culinary team guide guests through a 5 or 8-course blind tasting that unfolds one course at a time. This menuless experience changes nightly, allowing the kitchen to cook with what arrives that day from local fishermen, farmers, and ranchers. The result is a thoughtful progression of dishes that reflect the season, the sea just beyond the windows, and a refined European approach to craft. Honored with the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star distinctions, Cara has become a table many consider the evening’s main event in Newport.

If you’re looking for an outstanding dining experience in Newport, this is it. Each dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ocean view from the dining room is incredible. I could not recommend Cara more highly.

The chef’s tasting experience at Cara at The Chanler is something to behold. With two seatings in a breathtaking, semi-private dining room that overlooks the waterfront cliffs of Newport, you truly feel like you are on a luxury reality show with delectable surprises around every corner. The very decorated, passionate chef brings out each course himself and delivers a few words about it, including origins of the dish idea and components (many of which are sourced from local gardens). We had the ultimate fancy birthday celebration, with plenty of banter with the chef and staff, who were always eager to please and answer questions. If you’re celebrating something special in Newport and you’re an adventurous foodie, Cara is a must do.

We took a trip to Newport RI over the Christmas holidays and had our Christmas Eve dinner in Cara.
The chef uses mostly local ingredients, with occasional ingredients from further away.
Our 6 courses were mostly seafood (tuna lobster, scallops) and A5 wagyu.
The chef will present each course in the small and cozy dining room (5 tables).

This was a very unique experience. The chef came out and explained to us about every dish on our table as it came out. At the end we were very full. The flavors were very unique and creative. My wife and I came on our honeymoon, and it was a little out of our comfort zone. Some of the food was outstanding, while a few of the portions required us to be a little more open minded. If you want a truly unique dining experience, this is the place to come to. Thank you chef!

We had a wonderful experience at Cara Restaurant at The Chanler Cliff Walk. The setting was enchanting, the food exquisite, and the service outstanding. What truly elevated our visit was the friendly hospitality of Steve, our server. Despite limited plant-based or vegetarian options on the menu, Steve graciously guided us through suitable choices and even consulted the kitchen for tailored recommendations. He also shared insights into the origins of the kitchen’s produce and provided valuable wine recommendations, all with the warmth of conversing with old friends.
When my wife asked for the desert menu, she expressed that she was looking for something with chocolate, but very small. At seeing her disappointment at seeing that the tasty chocolate desert on the menu was rather large and mixed with bananas, Steve excused himself and a minute later surprised us with four delectable dark chocolate truffles for everyone at the table, perfectly satisfying our craving!
But Steve’s kindness didn’t stop there. Upon admiring The Chanler, we inquired about touring the grounds after dinner, to which Steve enthusiastically agreed. As we settled the bill, he informed us that he had arranged for a tour of some of the rooms with the front desk. Steve’s thoughtful gestures truly made our evening unforgettable. Thank you Steve!

We have dined at many Michelin rated restaurants and the service at Cara was by far the best service we have ever had. We had the blind tasting and the attention to detail and flavor was incredible. Chef Jacob’s passion for food shows in every dish. Simply amazing!

I celebrated my 32nd birthday with my best friends by enjoying the tasting menu here. The chef came out to explain each dish. Our server was amazing and so knowledgeable as well. The ambiance was very high class but warm and welcoming at the same time, which is a hard thing to come by. The food was impeccable and I highly recommend this experience to anyone who goes to Newport.

I want to start by saying thanks to Chef Jacob and Andrew for making a special occasion even more special! We did the blind taste dinner and, not sure how, but every dish that came out was better than the previous one! And all of them were incredibly good! From the freshness of the ingredients, the presentation and the amazing explanation of every dish by the chef himself, everything was incredible! We can’t thank the Cara crew enough for this amazing experience!

Went here for Christmas Eve Dinner and wow! The service and the food were exceptional. We had the 8 course blind tasting, and it was one of the best meals I have ever had in Rhode Island. Would definitely revisit.
