Cappy’s Hillside Cafe Partners With Kitchen Companion to Launch KC at Cappy’s

A beloved neighborhood haunt is getting a fresh jolt of flavor.

Debbie and Brian Arnold, the owners of Cappy’s Hillside Cafe, are teaming up with chef Julie Livingston of Kitchen Companion Catering and local entrepreneur Liz McKinnon to launch KC at Cappy’s — a reimagined dining concept set to take over the kitchen at 8 Memorial Blvd.

The new operation promises to be your go-to for lunch, dinner, and a can’t-miss Sunday brunch, with a menu that blends crowd-pleasing classics and creative twists.

But first, a brief pause.

The kitchen will close starting Monday, Feb. 16, ahead of a full reboot. Doors swing back open with a Grand Re-Opening bash on Friday, Feb. 27, from 4 to 9 p.m., featuring complimentary tastings of the new menu. Translation: show up hungry and bring friends.

What’s cooking? Think littlenecks with chourico, crave-worthy chicken wings (both classic and creative), a no-nonsense Classic Reuben, and a Hot Roast Beef sandwich stacked high with freshly sliced beef.

Same Cappy’s soul. New kitchen swagger. Newport diners, mark your calendars.
