Zach's Bistro

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The flavor combinations were unexpected and magical. I am glad I tried the chef's wine pairings. Two I never would have picked on my own that were both delicious and a perfect match for my meal. The courses with the half size options for salads and starters are a genius way to get to try more things without being overly full. Go curious and flow with the experience.

My husband and I went to Zach’s for our anniversary. I chose this place based on the reviews and we were not disappointed in the least! Zach was an amazing host. It’s a one man show all the way but he was very inviting and attentive the entire time we were there. The crab cakes were amazing. The best we’d ever had anywhere. The lamb chops were so tender and flavorful. Honestly if you want fine dining but with a “dinner at my friends house” feel. Zach’s is the place to go! And he has great N/A wine and cider choices too.

You feel like you are going over to a very talented friends house for dinner. We chose the four course. Plenty of food and a good way to try several different selections. The fish was well cooked with outstanding sauces. Starters are flavorful. Figure a two hour experience. Note: the perfect place for those with food allergies or restrictions! Cooked to order!

This was such a unique experience. The food and wine pairing were excellent. The dining room is cozy and well dressed, albeit a little dusty. Zach is super friendly and ready to answer any question you may have. This is a great way to enjoy time with friends and chat while being served delicious plates as the evening passes. Would do it again!

If you are in Newport, Zach's bistro is a lovely experience. When I saw the reviews about his one man show, I had to check out his selection for my birthday dinner. We selected the 3 course menu with wine pairing. Zach's taste was spot on from the INCREDIBLE sourced cheese plate to the lovely smokey red wine that went with my lamb entree. If you are looking for fast food this is not the place, but enjoy a slower but satisfying overall experience. Be sure to make a reservation in advance!

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).

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.
