Aurelia

A Coastal New England Culinary Adventure

The Relais & Chateaux restaurant, known in its original incarnation as The Dining Room at Castle Hill, offers a six-course tasting menu with imaginative dishes utilizing the local bounty of produce, seafood, and artisanal producers. Aurelia’s dining rooms overlook Narragansett Bay in all its raw beauty. As the bay’s seascape and surrounding landscape change subtly with the seasons, so does Aurelia’s menu.

The Lawn

For generations, the quintessential Newport seaside experience. Settle into an Adirondack chair and soak in the sun, a cocktail or two, and the parade of cruisers, racers, daysailers, and ocean-going marine craft sailing up and down Narragansett Bay past Castle Hill. Chairs are first-come, first served to enjoy beverages only.
