Our Story
Drawing inspiration from the grounds of Newport’s Stoneacre Estate, Stoneacre Garden is a comfortable blend of novelty, whimsy, nostalgia and elegance. Set back from the hustle and bustle of Thames Street and immersed in mature gardens, the beautiful scenery offers a natural ambiance and lush vibe for an al fresco experience in the Courtyard and Terrace Bar or indoor dining in The Greenhouse. Our rooftop bar—boasting Instagram-worthy views of the famed Newport sunset—is the perfect place to leisurely sip and soak in the best of this summer playground town.

Our Team
The Stoneacre family is a synergy of good food and drinks and good company. After becoming best friends while working at a popular Rhode Island eatery, founders, Christopher Bender and David Crowell went on to immerse themselves in the world of hospitality—taking jobs in New England and New York City—before returning to their roots in Newport to create Stoneacre.
Soon after, David enjoyed a rom-com reminiscent series of chance meetings and missed encounters with Massachusetts native, Christine Bevilacqua before the two finally ran into each other again on a fated New Years Eve of 2013. Christine began consulting on private events for Stoneacre in 2017 and, in 2018, the couple married at Stoneacre Brasserie.
Together, this trifecta of owners continues to evolve the Stoneacre name, sharing their passion and talents with the town they love to call ‘home.’
“The highest levels of performance come to people who are centered, intuitive, creative and reflective—people who know to see a problem as an opportunity.”
