Great food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. They had a low key jazz-ish band playing nice and quietly, enough to enjoy with conversation. We were weathered out of the lawn terrace, so had to eat inside. The food was delicious but we thought they could have had more brunch things (we were really looking forward to brunching here.
The valet and hostesses were very helpful and rounded out the experience well.

We had a lovely experience dining at Aurelia at Castle Hill Inn, even though we couldn’t get a reservation for the regular dining room—it was fully booked when we arrived at 5:30 PM, though the space still looked fairly empty. The dining room does offer a $65 tasting menu which looked wonderful.
Fortunately, the bar area is a great option, offering both high-top tables and lower, more comfortable seating, which I really appreciated. However, the bar area does not offer a tasting menu.
The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, and the service was warm and attentive. We started with a cheese and honey spread served with fresh bread, which was absolutely delicious. For our main course, we shared a Caesar salad with added chicken, and it was perfectly done—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
The property itself is stunning—located on a private peninsula, it feels like a tucked-away retreat with sweeping views of the water. There’s free valet parking, and everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and professional.
My friend said there was a lady seated behind me wearing a top with big buttons and this must be the new fashion for the rich. I have no idea what she’s talking about for I did not pay attention to who was sitting behind me.
If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional service, scenic beauty, and delicious food—even if just at the bar—Aurelia at Castle Hill Inn is well worth the visit.

What a day this was. It was one of the best dinning experiences I’ve had so far.
It was my boyfriend birthday and he always wanted to do a Michelin star restaurant experience. He actually reserved this place for the 4 of us. Every things was an experience. The FOOD WAS AMAZING! Service was amazing! I ate stuff I swore to never eat again and I didn’t even know it I was also asking for more. Every dish was beautifully served.
As far as vegetarian options there weren’t any on our main course menu , one of our guess is a vegetarian, so they had to improvised and the did an amazing job making her a few separate dishes. We appreciated that!
The price was really good for a 6 course meal. No regrets whatsoever. Definitely worth it!

Breathtakingly beautiful waterfront spot. The sunset was heavenly with lawn chairs providing the perfect viewing. Remarkable setting for cocktails and friends at the end of day. The property offers several small bar areas for libation. We reserved the tasting menu + wine pairing for a birthday dinner. It was nothing short of spectacular. 6 courses… all unique in presentation and delicious. Interestingly an early course, the vegetable tart, was simple sounding but rich in taste leaning on local veggies atop a crushed pumpkin seed “soil”. These creations are what one expects when dining in a R&C restaurant. Protein options are available on a couple of courses…. Duck or fish and lobster or beef. We were also provided a cheese option before dessert. Cheeses were perfectly matched with a pear forward sparkling from France.
The entire server team and sommelier were well versed in the wines and dishes. Relais & Chateaux never disappoints with a gastronomical adventure serving up local fare meticulously prepared. It’s quite the experience! Highly recommend Aurelia for drinks, dinner, tasting experience… all of it!

Special place on so many levels. We celebrated my sister’s birthday & Poppy our server took super good care of us. We will be back. One of the best ways to take in the sights, sounds & tastes of Newport.

We have dined here twice and each time was exceptional. The tasting menu is diverse and delicious, far from an ‘everyday’ experience. Everything is prepared perfectly, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is beautiful and romantic. (Don’t skip the cheese course!) Highly recommend this dinner for a special evening!
It should also be noted that if staying at the Inn, the breakfast is the absolute best (the lobster hash is heavenly!) and afternoon tea is such a yummy and relaxing experience.

The finest dining experience at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport. White glove and spectacular. Not only was the service impeccable, the food was glamorous, high-quality, locally curated and prepared with thought. The chefs were a warm blooded Italian and Cantonese man, whose roots shone through with every bite. What a wonderful experience that I will not forget.

Beautiful culinary experience! The tasting menu with 6 courses (and more with amuse bouche) was absolutely phenomenal. The quality of the ingredients, recipes choice and an amazing game of contrast and texture, bravo to the talented team of chefs. And a big thank you to the team! Gabriel, Harrison and Tom were so attentive to my needs. They were also very thorough with details and food origins. It was a pleasure celebrating my 25th birthday at Aurelia! I went to many Relais Château in France, and this one definitely did not disappoint! 10/10!!

I went to celebrate my birthday, the day was foggy but I was able to fully enjoy inside. I wish it was a sunny day to enjoy the outside view. The food was amazing and we shared to try all the dishes. The wines were very good with the exception of the last two plates were a sweeter wine and sparkling wine that I save a bit of my Cabernet for the end. I personally don’t like sweet wine for this reason the last two I didn’t appreciate it as much. The service was fantastic they really give you the best possible experience, she explained about all the wines and it was fantastic. The bread was amazing, I am very weak for alcohol beverages so I had to eat more bread to handle it . The plates came in a perfect presentation with a very unique flavor. Also the desserts was delicious. At the end we received a very cute happy birthday plate and a delicious jelly to take home. I will definitely be back as I super enjoy it.
