Tucked into one of Newport’s most storied addresses, Audette is a love letter to French dining—sans the snobbery.
We’ve kept the white tablecloths and candlelight, but added a wink—modern technique, warm hospitality, and a menu that lets you flirt with tradition or fall for something unexpected. Rooted in classics but styled for now, Audette invites a new generation of diners to linger late, order the good wine, and remember that fine dining doesn’t have to feel like homework.
The joy is ours to share.
Anna and Tyler Burnley and Chad Hoffer are longtime collaborators behind some of Newport’s most beloved neighborhood spots—TSK, Mission, and once upon a time, Winner Winner. With Audette, they’re thrilled to welcome Carmen Ratoi to the team (and the family). She brings with her a masterclass in hospitality and a deep connection to this very space, having gracefully helmed Chanterelle for years. Together, they’ve blended old soul and new energy to create something unabashedly their own.
