Food, Drinks as Exquisite as Views at Fluke in Newport

The Providence Journal | July 30, 2009 | Dining Out Review by Gail Ciampa

What is there to like about Fluke Wine, Bar and Kitchen? It’s set on two floors above Bowen’s Wharf in Newport, facing the lovely harbor. During sunlight hours, the rays bounce off the water and at dusk sunsets can be exquisite. Sit on the top floor in the bar and you’ll wish you had an easel and paintbrush — and the talent — to capture it all on canvas. [More]

A Place That Succeeds by Design

The Phoenix | April 16, 2008 | Johnette Rodriguez

When the young woman welcomed us to Fluke — the new restaurant where Le Bistro used to be — she said, “The rest of us are upstairs — would you like to join us?”

And so we did. We followed Geremie Callaghan, co-owner, with husband Jeff, to the third floor bar/lounge that looks out on Bowen’s Wharf and the northern end of Newport Harbor. The last remnants of a sunset lingered, and stars began to dot the dark blue sky that we could see beyond the mast and rigging of a boat at the dock below. [More]

This new “hot spot” focused on “relaxed modern cuisine,” but that night it was rocking. We knew we were fortunate to get a table and parking space near the wharf. [More]
