You can't beat the gorgeous Narragansett Bay views while having drinks and apps on the deck at The Safari Room. Â Bobby, took great care of my husband and I while we reminisced about our recent wedding at Oceancliff, and saw some familiar faces that made our special day so perfect! Â So many great things to say about OC and The Safari Room, we will definitely be back to enjoy the service, food & views!
Review Source:I came here with my family for our nice meal out on our last night of vacation. The food and wine were good - I ordered the house salad and ahi tuna. The views were spectacular. But I am only giving it three stars because of the service. First of all, we had made a reservation well in advance for 5 people. When we arrived, they seemed surprised that we were 5 instead of 4, and so they just tacked on an extra chair on the corner of a 4 person table. That was annoying for a meal where we planned to have a few courses and splurge, but I could have let that slide. The real problem was with our server. It took about 15 minutes for anyone to come out and take our drink order. Then, every time she would serve us something, she would ask us to  pass things around to the other side of the table, rather than walking around to the other side herself. This meant that we were constantly handling glasses, pouring wine, and passing plates around. It was disruptive and not what I would expect for a splurge fancy meal. we had a few bottles of wine and she never came over and topped up glasses, and often we were left sitting with an empty bottle of wine for 10+ minutes at a time. I'm not a very picky person, but when I spend a few hundred dollars on dinner, I expect it not to have to do all the work.
Review Source:Great views, good service and reasonable portions. Went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, it was quite busy although the season is over. Ordered the open faced roast turkey sandwich and my friend ordered the braised beef short rib. My sandwich was delicious, my only complaint is that the cranberry sauce was a little overwhelming. My friend was very pleased with his order.
The room itself is decorated after the name, don't know if everyone is fan of the safari...
I would go back to try their cocktails, as we just ordered wine.
A Romantic quite lunch. The views are breathtaking! The Safari room has a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The decor is Safari like with large palms, earth tones & bamboo. The sun warms & brightens the dinning room. Safari inspired stools line the restaurant length bar across from the dinning room. The Oceancliff hotel is a place that is very dear to my heart, I said "I do" to my soul mate here.
We enjoyed a prix fixe lunch during Newport restaurant week. I enjoyed the potato soup, open face turkey with cranberry & pumpkin creme brulee. My hubby loved his fresh salad with apples & pecans, short rib, & the  bread pudding. A very tasty, romantic, leisurely lunch is exactly what was needed!
After wards we walked around the property and soaked up the sunny, ocean breezes.
Absolutely gorgeous views. They really can't be beat. The cocktails are inventive and delicious, and the service is quite good. The menu could use a little work--the price point seems a little high for the quality of the food, to be honest. I've ordered an absolutely delicious omelet for lunch, and also had their seared tuna sandwich. The tuna sandwich left a bit to be desired. The tuna was seared well and was flavorful, but the bread overwhelmed the delicate fish, and the inclusion of bacon left me puzzled. Bacon is such a strong flavor...wouldn't you want the fish to shine?
Either way, the fries are good :) If you have an afternoon free and want to drink some wine and watch the boats go by, you can't beat The Safari Room.
Meh. Â A tepid three stars.
If you want to enjoy upscale cocktails and bar bites in a swanky setting right along Ocean Drive with water views, your options are The Inn at Castle Hill or here, The Safari Room at Oceancliff. Â In all the years I've been visiting my Newport family, I've never once come to the Safari Room -- and the Grands' house is literally a quarter mile up the road (of all things, it took the wedding of one of husband's rand-o friend's to get me here). Â It's good to know I wasn't missing out this whole time.
The ambiance, views, and drinks just aren't as good as their competitor's. Â I give them extra credit because no view of the harbor is a *bad* view, but really, that doesn't have a whole lot to do with The Safari Room itself. Â I'll continue walking the extra five minutes to Castle Hill instead.
