Woodbine Cottage is a historic 5,000-square-foot Victorian mansion in the heart of downtown Newport, Rhode Island. Built in 1873, it was originally the private residence of George Champlin Mason, Newport's first resident architect, who trained in Switzerland, France, and Germany before going on to design roughly 150 Gilded Age mansions throughout the city. The 23-room house has been restored and retains its period character, with each guest room individually appointed to reflect the home's history. Today the cottage hosts corporate gatherings, wedding parties, birthday and bachelor or bachelorette celebrations, reunions, and holiday parties for groups up to 150 people.

THE ART OF HISTORICAL TRADITION When you dine at Ellie's, you're treated as if you're a member of the family. This restaurant, inspired by dining traditions, strikes a harmonious balance between an art-filled, modern aesthetic and excellent food and genuine hospitality at every table. Keeping true to our namesake, Ellie Hall, an artist and mother who emanated elegance and warmth while enjoying lively conversation and friendly informality, our seasonal American cuisine is refined yet approachable, and our service is friendly and attentive. Every dish on the menu draws inspiration from her family's diverse heritage and traditions, resulting in a dish that is distinct in its taste and presentation. GET TO KNOW ELLIE HALL Ellie, named after the mother of the company's founder, Craig Hall, was a self-assured trailblazer for women's rights as well as a compassionate teacher and artist who always sought out the beauty in life while maintaining a resolutely independent spirit. The gathering of friends and family to enjoy a delicious meal and spirited conversation was one of her greatest pleasures in life, and it was a communal endeavor that brought her immense joy. When Ellie's was established, it was done so in the spirit of community and goodwill toward all. Thank you for joining the family.

Working with a variety of well-established restaurants, chefs, and brands, including Stephan Pyles Restaurant, Wynwood Hospitality, Tillman's Roadhouse, and the Lange Twins Family Winery and Vineyard, has been a highlight of his professional life.
