“I’ve enjoyed a catered meal from Leon’s a few times and everything is always fresh, delicious and the presentation is great. Highly recommend if you’re having a party or gathering!“

“Amazing in every way, I’ve been delivering here working for UPS for awhile and decided it was time to check it out. Bluewater did not disappoint and delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back!!! Five STARS ⭐️“

“nice atmosphere. fresh raw bar I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. SMALL SERVINGS & PRICEY. Current menu not online.. checked several sites and each had a different menu.“

“Today was me and my wife’s first time going to Olneyville New York System in Providence and we were both in awe while we were there and we kept talking about it how awesome it was after we left. Not only were the wieners excellent but the fries are some of the best we’ve ever had. Gotta get the coffee milk to go with the wieners, it is delicious. Most importantly, I want to give a shoutout to the crew that was working today. You all made us feel so welcome along with being super nice and accommodating to us. All I can say is that we will be back not only for the excellent food but for the atmosphere itself. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you all again. Have a great day !“

“Had an amazing experience. The Whipped Ricotta app was light and delicious, and the Shaved Steak Sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. Didn't exactly skip on dessert; their espresso martini ended the night perfectly. Highly recommend and shout out to Shakira and Nate...amazing top-notch service.“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“21 November 2025 update
How do truly feel and review a classic restaurant like this when the business has been sold. Our experiences and this cuisine is non transferable. There is no other Polish food in this area like this and therefore its a real loss. Too sad as we are going miss this.

Amazing and not to be missed. Make the drive over to South Main St., where you will be served freshly prepared Polish food that is affordable and the best in the region. You will not be disappointed!“

“Always fantastic and delicious“

“Dined here last night before PPAC, for that reason we made an early dinner reservation. I confirmed when calling they had valet parking. We arrived to find no valet attendant. After some back and forth with hostess and manager my husband was finally able to come inside for dinner, nearly 30 mins wasted. Our server AJ provided exemplarry service; she was personable and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We appreciated her service, and our dinners were all very good. As we departed we confirmed with the tardy valet attendant if we could leave the car and pick up after the show as we do with neighboring establishments and he said no because they would be closed by the time the show was over; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. The valet was rude, late, and it’s terribly unfortunate that the valet ruined what could have been a great dinner with friends.“

“The place where you can eat real soul food“

“Just came from Palmer River Grille, it's very nice inside and the food was excellent. My wife had a small issue with her meal (no need for details), the managers took care of it no problem, which they don't have to do, so I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Our waiter Derek was awesome! Just want to acknowledge everyone there, the wait staff etc. are very friendly, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and their food. I would recommend them to anyone and for sure we will be back. Thank you!“

“My family & I dined at New Rivers to celebrate a birthday and it was absolutely exquisite. The food and drinks were delicious- huge compliments to the chef. Everyone was so friendly and they made us (including my 9mo son) feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our meal. We can’t wait to dine here again!!“

“Stephanie was an exceptional bartender—easily one of the best servers we've ever had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made a huge difference for us. Her attention to detail was impressive, from promptly changing out silverware between courses to keeping our drinks filled without us ever needing to ask. The food was outstanding! The carpaccio was the best we’ve had, and the gluten-free s’mores dessert was absolutely delicious—a perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere had a great vibe with stunning views, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“we had a wonderful experience sitting at the chef's table today for brunch! everything was delicious, we will definitely be back“

“TRAFFORDS TESTIMONIAL Perhaps once in a lifetime you find someplace really special for you and your spouse. Seven years ago we went to Trafford’s for the first time. What we remember about it was how it made us feel. Both of us work hard in our professions and to go out to dinner and find wonderful food, excellent and attentive wait staff, and relaxed environment simply made our day. We then came every month at least once mostly twice to enjoy the excellence and serenity at Trafford. Sadly we lost this when the fire occurred for several years. Then absolute joy when Trafford’s reopened and we found the same wonderful food, wonderful staff in a simply beautiful rebuilt building. The joy we felt and the absolute calm and serenity is all back for us. Recently we celebrated my 76th birthday at Trafford with my entire family. It was amazingly special for me and we had our special event upstairs with the entire place devoted to us . Chrissy our server did an awe inspiring service for us making it perhaps one of the most special birthdays I have ever had I have attached a picture of this special moment. I work in the computer software business doing quality assurance 10 hours every day. Being able to calm down and relax completely at Trafford’s is simply a joy for us. I will always be thankful for this the rest of my life Ugh Sincerely Nicholas McKinney“

“Waterdog delivers on every front. The food is delicious, crafted with care and full of bold flavor. The atmosphere is wonderfully eclectic, giving the space a personality all its own. The service is outstanding, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A spot that makes you want to come back again and again!“

“I saw Honeybird on Phantom Gourmet a bit ago and living a state away I took note this is a must try. Fast forward to this weekend I suggested to my brother and others come here to kick off his bachelor party weekend and let me tell you this is THE SPOT!!! The wings and tenders were huge and the perfect balance of crispy and tender. Fries seasoned incredibly well. Get the honey bird sauce too. You won’t be disappointed. This absolutely was the perfect start for the night we needed to rally for. I can’t wait to come back. I’m looking at you to try crispy catfish sliders!“

“Amazing people and great food and service. always a pleasure to come in for some good food and an even better conversation!“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Holy Toledo… I just got the vegan cheeze pizza for the first time and it’s my new favorite!! SOOOO good—you could fool an omnivore with this one! This is definitely going to be my new regular pizza spot!!“

“If I could give yall 6 stars, I would! We started going to the Pawtucket ave location cuz my stepdaughter is gluten free. Today we went to broadway for my daughter’s birthday. The food was great and yall gave her the best birthday celebration! Thank you!!“

“I kept driving by and decided to go for dinner with my family. I was not disappointed! The staff was kind and very attentive. the food was phenomenal! If you are looking for delicious food and great atmosphere, this is the place to go what a great pub!!“

“Great overall experience“

“Este lugar tiene excelentes tacos Mexicanos auténticos. Los empleados también son amables y recomiendo esta taquería.“

“Very pleasantly surprised! Great menu and service. We ate at the bar. The atmosphere is nice and low key. We can't wait to go back.“

“We are sorry it took us so long to discover The Square Peg. Cozy, old colonial vibe, delicious fall sangria and scrumptious comfort food. Our first visit was a perfect complement to our day visiting farm stands and enjoying a beautiful October Saturday. A bonus is that the location could rival Salem in October minus the crowds. Just perfect. We loved the chili with sour cream, cheese and onions on top, the patty melt and the ahi tuna tacos. All were delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting many times.“

“One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time, staff has been very friendly everytime I have gone in. 5/5 stars“

“I visit Ivy Tavern everytime I come to Providence, RI. Excellent food and drink, but even more important, to me, are the friendly folks that run the tavern. Because they are always genuinely friendly, treating every customer with kindness, the regulars that frequent the tavern always seem to be more sociable than I normally see in most places. This is a hard to find quality, these days.“

“Absolutely love the outdoor dining and red sangria! Always a great time when we go!“

“Never in my life had I had a fish 🐟 sandwich like dunes I am a food lover must say from Boston to Vegas to Costa Rica never ever had a sandwich like that order it then thank me I am the honest ONE“

“We went to the Newport location. Everything was quality & delicious. The frozen key lime drink was so refreshing. The vibes were great. The bartender was very friendly and anticipated our needs. Definitely a favorite new spot!!“

“We visited for an early dinner. Our waiter Jake was outstanding! After a wonderful meal, my husband paid the bill & we were getting ready to leave when the manager came to our table to ask what was wrong & if we were unhappy w/our server.....'No he was fantastic' we said. Oh! he said, because we didn't leave a tip he thought the waiter had messed up.... suffice it to say.... husband had THOUGHT he left the tip when he paid. Apparently he didn't!!! Talk about being embarrassed!! We gave Jake a little extra in his tip. So, next time you're at Davenports, East Prov. ask for Jake... he's awesome & goes beyond his waitstaff duties.“

“Their AMAZING desserts!!!“

“We visited Honey Bird back in June. The chicken was outstanding so moist and flavorful. The drinks also did not disappoint, the ingredients blend together so well and zero hang over headache. My 6 year had yummy Mac & cheese with fries.“

“We just stopped by for an afternoon cocktail after a long walk along the river. Very cool place and our bartender is awesome! Her drink skills are on point!“

“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long“

“I go maybe twice a month Love their coconut shrimp it’s absolutely so worth the trip no matter where you live Friday I brought a group of friends and all the dinners were fabulous. Waitress so kind and accommodating with some questions my friends needed to know So eat and be merry if your a couple or a. Big family. You won’t regret going Love being treated with such kindness ❤️“

“Delicious fish and chips! I went yesterday the kid taking my order was super friendly! The fish and chips are so delicious definitely coming back thank you“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“"I've had the pleasure of visiting Cornerstone Lounge multiple times, and it never fails to impress. The dishes are exquisitely delicious - I've tried them all, and each one is a standout. The drinks, music, and ambiance come together to create an amazing atmosphere that's perfect for any occasion. The service is top-notch, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who make sure you're well taken care of. Our server was particularly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I love Stone Corner Lounge and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!"“

“Amaryllis doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everything is delicious and interesting. And since Covid is still around, being able to take out is good.“

“Gracie’s vegetarian and tasting menus were creative, fun, and delicious! Can’t wait to discover more.“

“We would like to thank Big Dog Eats for a tremendous job. The food and service was amazing. It’s was delicious and can’t wait to have them back again next year. Thank so much. We appreciate everything you did.“

“We visited Honey Bird back in June. The chicken was outstanding so moist and flavorful. The drinks also did not disappoint, the ingredients blend together so well and zero hang over headache. My 6 year had yummy Mac & cheese with fries.“

“Steak Frites onion soup the MEATBALL!!“

“Food portions and flavors are AWESOME. STAFF IS FANTASTIC“

“Our server Nick was second to none. Fast and attentive. We showed up later than I would usually prefer and were close to closing time. Nick never made us feel rushed or anxious. He went above and beyond and made our anniversary dinner special. The food was delicious as always but the service was the trigger for my 5 stars! Thank you Nick.“
