Established over 30 years ago, it has become a cherished and celebrated dining destination known for its commitment to serving only the freshest seafood and genuine hospitality. Situated downtown along the riverside, Hemenway's combines spectacular cityscape views with a menu featuring fresh fin and shellfish, locally farmed produce, and expertly crafted libations. As part of the Newport Restaurant Group, a 100 percent employee-owned company, Hemenway's prides itself on its strong ties to the local community and dedication to an equitable workplace environment.
