"Hemenway's is one of our "goto" places for the fancy dinner or Sunday lunch. We recently too my mother there for mother's day and got a lovely table overlooking the river. The only issue with the restaurant isn't with the restaurant, but parking. It's easy enough to park at the garage right next door and before the restaurant, but if you kiss it, you have to go down and around, which for some not familiar with Providence can be confusing."

"We go here whenever we are in the mood for awesome seafood. This was a special occasion so started with a bottle of Moet Chandon and then cherrystones followed by lobster and white chocolate mousse for dessert. All excellent as was our waitress. slmetimes we go just to sit at the bar or lounge area for a martini and their AWESOME cols seafood platter.
A fabulous Waterfire Night place too."

"Looking forward to a wonderful dinner - Started with oysters - bad choice- They were so small it , a few shells look empty - Do not understand how they would even serve them, .let alone charge for them. 2 out of the 4 entrees were ok - other 2 - fish dish and lobster - dried out - We used to love Hemingways- the atmoshere ,service and cocktails are still great - but the food is lacking - Unfortunately we won't be back"

"Food and service was excellent. Have not been here in a few years so I was disappointed in the menu change. Always enjoyed picking out a fish, swordfish etc and choosing how it was cooked. Now the menu seems to be just another Newport group resturant menu. That being said I will be back, hope they hear the menu concern."

"We had never been to Hemenway's for lunch and we thought it was fantastic! Being Sunday, they only had the dinner menu, so it was a tad bit pricey. The food was perfect, and it was worth the expense. Additionally, out waitress, Debralee, was one of the best we have had anywhere. So incredibly knowledgable and well-stated. She had a strong understanding of the menu and gave very thoughtful recommendations, from the tea I ordered right down to the entrees. She is a cut above the rest and a definite reason to return. We will be back!"

"The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We ordered cherrystone clams as an appetizer and they took quite a long time to arrive, but were very good. We also had to wait a long time for our entrees. It was a Thursday night and not particularly busy."

"A group of four of us had an amazing dinner. Our drinks were delicious (my husband tried an Old Fashioned for the first time and our server provided excellent assistance with helping him decide whether it was a good choice for him).The King Crab appetizer and oysters on the shell were amazing. As was the tuna tartar. We each really enjoyed our meals--swordfish, seafood paella, and the filet mignon. We all agreed that the Caesar salad was one of the best we'd all ever had. To top it all off, Catherine, our server, was phenomenal. We will definitely be back!"

"We went to Hemenways to celebrate my husband's birthday and had low expectations from what we'd heard and experienced in the past. Our server. Steve immediately cheered us up and he was amazing for the remainder of the meal. We ordered the calamari to start and a dozen littlenecks. Both dishes were perfection- the calamari was done Rhode Island style with hot peppers...and very very fresh!
Our chowders were a little packaged tasting- like definitely not made in house. My husband's salad with cold shell fish was also mediocre and the shellfish was not particularly fresh tasting. The meal was not overly impressive, but the service was!"

"This was our third time at Hemenway's in the last year or so and it has become one of our favorites.
This occasion was a rare Monday nite out and we were surprised by the number of people at the restaurant. Apparently Hemenway's was surprised too as the service was way off. Our server all but disappeared on several occasions. Food took a long time and even the check was a tedious process.
I do recommend Hemenway's based on the quality of the food and past experiences, but they are now on double secret probation."

"We went to Hemenway's to celebrate our 4th anniversary the other night... F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!! We were greeted promptly and escorted to a romantic table overlooking the water. Our server was super nice and super attentive. Drinks were awesome. Pace was very unhurried. Steamers were ridiculously good. The George's Bank baked scallops were to to die for! The Paella was really good too. Our server provided us with a free dessert for our special night, and even presented it with a lit candle. We spent three hours in unhurried food bliss... I'm glad Hemenway's was a part of our special celebration!"

"The clam chowder was the best I have eaten in a while and the scrod was delicious. Our server was very friendly and responsive. A very nice restaurant. I would give it a thumbs up."

"Our waitress, Annie, was almost too attentive but very efficient and friendly. This was our second time at Hemenway's (we live in MA) and we definitely would return again and again. The swordfish was done to perfection and the shrimp scampi was perfect...not over-garliced!"

"We have always been impressed with the Newport Restaurant Group. I am gluten free and Hemenways catered to my needs with great gluten free dinner rolls, specially made Calamari and overall expertise on each dish inquired about and ordered.
The service was impeccable and the ambiance was great. Love this restaurant!"

"Our service was outstanding in spite of the restaurant being very busy. All servings were timely and we did not feel rushed. The chef special of crab and lobster stuffed salmon melted in your mouth, it was delicious.The key lime "pie" for desert tasted more like key lime cheesecake, excellent."

"The taste of the food varied. some entrees were excellent whereas others were not. my friend did not get hers packed as she said it was very salty. The lobster mac and cheese was amazing.
The service was very good and attentive."

"My husband and I are regulars, due in part (largely) to Bill. He's the most amazing waiter we've ever encountered at any restaurant. (And we LOVE our fine dining) While the food is also great (never an issue) Bill is what keeps us coming!!"

"Was excited to go to Hemenway's. Have enjoyed some good meals there before. This night, I was accompanied by my wife and two daughters. We had oysters and shrimp from the raw bar, ordered a nice bottle of wine and waited for our meal. And we waited. And we waited. When the meals finally arrived, the tuna I ordered (which was ordered "as rare as you can possibly prepare it" was cooked through. Not red, not pink, but white. I sent it back. My wife and daughter shared their meals with me while I waited for my dish to come back from the kitchen. Their fish was ok, but overcooked. Nothing special. And it should be for what they charge for their entrees. This night, the meals were average, service was slow and price was too high."
