One of Newport’s most famous fine dining experiences.

Business Insider wrote a nice, high-brow article on the “The best restaurant in every state“. Based on their selection for Rhode Island, they might have put due diligence in their selections for the other 49 states.

According to author Emmie Martin, a holistic approach was taken to decide on the best restaurants.

To find the best one each state has to offer, we sifted through our list of the best restaurants in America, James Beard Award nominations, expert reviews, and local recommendations, paying particular attention to fine-dining establishments.

So which Newport spot took it?
