“ Stop searching for “best food or best restaurant” - you have found it. Farm to table, with food or allergy consideration and European style kitchen service are the deciding factors. Be advised, you must call ahead and secure a reservation as Zach only takes a limited amount of guests each night, which allows for a highly personalized experience. This is my second review of Zack’s Bistro (first was many years ago). This is not lunch, or dinner - this is an experience, one likened to having your own personal chef, whom passionately strives to create intricate food delicacies, rich in smell and flavor. In our photo’s, you will see seven and five course meals, along with a solo main dish with salad. Zack’s is a place for “foodies” - there is not much more to say. Look at the photos and decide for yourself. ”
“ A delightful experience, feels very intimate! The Chefs Tasting is a stellar choice to try a variety of flavorful dishes. Zach is not only an excellent chef, but a wonderful host as well. Well worth the price, and I look forward to our next visit! ”
“ Amazing. Zach did a fantastic job making sure I could enjoy Amazing food with my celiac and dairy free lifestyle. Thank you ”
“ I was very excited to try Zach’s and it did not disappoint. The crab cake was exceptional because it was almost all crab. The sprouts on top of cake were sunflower sprouts and I liked their flavor and texture. My entree of wine battered halibut was delicious and there was lots of halibut! The slaw was crunchy and flavored with vinegar. Before our appetizer we were served a slice of Spanish cheese and after the crab cake we were served a chunk of bread with cinnamon flavored butter. Both of these little extras were delicious. After our entree we had a light cheesecake (almost mousse like versus a dense cheesecake texture) topped with cranberries and hazelnut. I enjoyed the dining experience and was happy to find another lovely cafe for my visits to Newport. ”
“ My wife and I were just there and had the battered rockfish and potatoes. We both enjoyed the meal and the host was kind and helpful. I recommend you give this little place a visit. Works well if you’re gluten free and perfect if you’re looking for that cool, personal touch, kind of vibe. Make a reservation. ”
“ We enjoyed this bistro! Delicious gluten food with a mix of flavors! Definitely would recommend it!! ”
“ This place was amazing. You normally need a reservation but Zach was so cool and squeezed me and my wife in right near closing time just because I asked nicely. I was NOT disappointed. Zach is an absolute artist. Best food I’ve ever had. The quaint environment of the restaurant might be a turn off for most fine dining lovers, but I enjoyed the charm of the place. Zach is a one man restaurant and he absolutely killed it. The food was well worth the wait and the cheese platter appetizer was amazing. THE DESSERT. Omg. It was INCREDIBLE. I got the venison main course, it was the best meat I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten at a few high scale steak houses in big cities before. Most fine dining I’ve experienced has had pretty decent food but they go all out on the ambiance of the restaurant, Zach does everything alone so there’s not a fancy chandelier, snooty waiters, or an air of exclusivity, but the food, which should be the main focus of fine dining in my opinion, was unrivaled. Zach has the skill to be a head chef at any big city fancy restaurant, but the fact he’s done it all on his own in a small town is amazing. I would recommend his bistro 11/10 times. ”
“ It was nice to be back after three years and see that Zach is still making stellar food. My husband and I made reservations for two nights. The entire restaurant operation is run by the chef himself, and he knows what he is doing. From first course to dessert, the experience is wonderful and the food made with quality ingredients. We tried the 5-course meals on our first night, and 3-course meals on our second night. Portions were appropriate for the pricing and my husband and I left very full. We look forward to being back again! (Unfortunately, we were so excited to eat the food that we only took pictures of the first courses). ”
