We have been coming to Newport for quite some time and stumbled across this place. YOU MUST HAVE RESERVATIONS...it’s rare they have an opening so don’t take it personal when they say NO and offer you a time much later in the day. We tried a few times We were finally able to book a table a few months outs as we are from Long Island. The ambience is awesome with the kitchen in full site. They remind of us a local restaurant they we use to love that was farm to table but unfortunately they closed down due to lease issues. What they have on their menu is what they have...can’t deviate from it. We got their Hanger Steak, lobster, potatoes, Brussels sprouts and some chocolate dessert. We also ran up our bill with their delicious 15 cocktails Hanger steak was cooked to perfection and presentation was amazing. They had shallot hidden the dish that amazing! I got their BBQ Black Pepper dip for the steak and it was great. THEY DO NOT HAVE FREE BREAD at the table you have to pay for it. We opted not to do so but another table ordered it and I understand why We left behind full and glad we didn’t get an app. We barely had room and didn’t even finish our dessert. Our bill was high bc we drank a few cocktails that were 15 each. If you didn’t drink the price to eat here is very reasonable around 50 PP

A very chill and fun ambiance for a modern style meal. The outside was nice with friendly & attentive staff. We got the amazing Caesar Salad and a 32oz Mission cut steak. These thick’s cuts are really flavorful, one of my pieces were a little extra fatty but overall was cooked great. The potatoes as a side are spectacular!

Absolutely delicious wow!!!! Reservations are a must. We will definitely be back. Everything was just delicious and the ambiance was great.

Thames Street Kitchen, known acronymically as TSK, is probably one of the higher end restaurants in Newport competing for the wealthy's dollars. It does a superb job at that. The restaurant shows most of it's talents by the menu and the performance space that is the open kitchen concept. A thing to note is the cleaning that took place in the space that I do not regularly see at other restaurants. Presentation is everything there. And the presentation starts at the menu. Cocktail drinks are simply named, and easy to comprehend. I got the "Spicy Tequila Drink" which was not overly spicy. Named appropriately, the drink did it's job. The menu had a greater variety of beef options, with some fish and poultry. For those who have allergies, a conversation with the server may be necessary to parse out what is available. The hanger steak seemed like a reasonable choice. It was delicious and came with a brown butter bonita dipping sauce that accentuated the flavors. Four or five other sauces are available, which are amazing ways to want me to come back for more. Noticing the effort and quality of the food was quite easy. I have begun to have opinions on a restaurant by how they treat their customers when serving a Caesar Salad. At TSK, the Caesar Salad was served as if all the components were evenly diced and distributed. It was served on a plate as if it looked like a small layer of cake. And it was delicious. Sometimes, a chef may merely throw lettuce, cheese, and dressing into a to-go container. TSK does not do this, it is a work of art. The smashed fingerling potatoes were creamy and decadent. They were also uniquely presented. You might do yourself a disservice by not trying this amazing carb. The meal was pricey, but here, you are paying for *noticeable* quality and effort. Highly recommended. If you're strategic, make reservations. If you have gluten-free issues, be prepared to not see any markings on the menu.

Phenomenal meal! Easily our best meal in Newport. Great service, cool atmosphere. Everything was perfect. We came during a girls weekend and shared a couple of apps, filets, and side dishes. The sides are shareable. Our waitress recommended everything that we got and all of it exceeded our expectations. My only (and very minor) complaint is that the rolls are not complimentary, so if you want them then you have to order them. It’s a popular place for a reason, so make your reservation in advance! Highly recommend!

This is the best restaurant in Newport. Simple but creative menu, and shockingly well priced. My partner and I split a strip steak, warm bread, raviolo, and broccolini. Everything was perfect! Staff is awesome and won’t hesitate to give a recommendation. Overall a warm and fun atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!

Food was fantastic! Must get the mushrooms they are fantastic! Loved my hanger steak, mom and sister enjoyed their ny strip and other sister had filet. I got the horseradish sauce with mine and it was a generous amount that I dipped almost all my steak in and had enough, and it was bright and delicious. We also got the shaved Brussels and smashed fingerling potatoes which were fabulous, I just loved the mushrooms the most. red wines were good, I particularly enjoyed the California Pinot noir they had. By the bottle options are vast but few are priced on the affordable end. Everyone else got cocktails they enjoyed. Service was great and prompt, and it felt like they were well staffed. Our server was able to explain the different steaks and make recommendations which I always appreciate as a fellow server!

Honestly surprising for a place like Newport RI where you’d expect good seafood and clam chowder but not much else. Thames Street Kitchen is very very very good. I had the duck breast and my fiancee had the risotto and both were prepared and cooked perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Will be coming back next visit.
