"With its velvet curtains and floor-to-ceiling windows, Fable & Spirit in Lido Marina Village could be mistaken for a West Elm showroom. Expect dates at the bar, younger crowds dressed up to hit the Newport bars after dinner, and families toasting to birthdays. The move? Get a cocktail in your hand and hit the small plates. We’re fans of the Guinness brown bread (like the one at Cheesecake Factory, except better) the beet agnolotti, wood-fired octopus, and pork belly served with creamy couscous. Dishes arrive hot and fast, so your table might have to stack plates like you’re at a conveyor belt sushi spot." - Cathy Park
