“A great local restaurant 💯“

“Such a delicious little restaurant! I’m vegan, dined at Foglia with my carnivorous husband and we both loved it. The food is fresh and delicious and has multiple layers of flavor. It was such a treat. After our meal, Chef Pete came out to talk with us about our meal. Will definitely return.“

“Amazing drinks and beautiful moody vibe“

“Great food & drinks“

“We arrived thirty minutes early for our reservation and were seated right away. We were greeted by our server immediately and brought water, we were given time to settle in with our guest but never ignored. The oysters were delicious, the steak frites right on point, steak perfectly cooked and the fries had just been cooked. The grilled lobsters not overcooked and the accompaniments delicious! We had no room for dessert but look forward to our next visit! Service was friendly and never intruding, selection of wine by the glass covered our needs. The restaurant was not crowded so conversation was easy with minimal noise. We had a great experience.“

“Pizza cold and undercooked. Meals arrived different times.“

“Always a great experience at The Lobster Pot!“

“Went to the Foxes Hill neighborhood in Providence to try out a Morroccan spot, but it ended up being closed. Luckily, right around the corner was Aguardente, which is a Guatamalen & Portuguese tapas restaurant. Love the interior decorations and warm welcoming vibe. We started with quejo de cabra, rellenitos, & the minha caiparinha. Then we had the batatas fritas, empanadas de pollos, polvo grelhado, & almondegas. Everything from the service to all of the dishes being seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing.“

“Got an order to go. Everything was so fresh. Best Guac & Salsa ever! The veggie Burrito was huge and so fresh & delicious! The fish tacos that my friend ordered was the best she has ever had! Even ordered margaritas to go & they gave us a full bag of ice & freshly made margarita’s that they poured in a bottle! This place is a hidden gem! Sometimes these hidden gems that seem to be a “hole in the wall” are the absolute best! This is one of those places! Definitely recommend!“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“incredible small town bar and live music venue. The owner has poured out all into this place! every community could use a Galactic!“

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“love the food and drinks they were AMAZING ❤️❤️💯“

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

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“Fantastic service, atmosphere, food and drinks! perfect night out, will be back!“

“Stopped in to this little gem, food & drink excellent & Katie at the bar was wonderful!“

“The Lobster Benny on the brunch menu was really delicious! The rich, creamy, and slightly acidic flavor of the hollandaise sauce combined perfectly with the savory and sweet flavors of the lobster.

The steak and eggs were also excellent. The garlic pan gravy took the dish to the next level.

Our table wasn’t ready until a little over ten minutes after our reservation time, so we hung out at the four-seat bar next to the host station for a bit.“

“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 ate here today for the 1st time and my meal was absolutely delicious!! I ordered the baked cod with broccoli & rice. The atmosphere was quiet & clean. My waitress was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. My meal was a 10 out of 10.“

“I cannot express how much I enjoyed/appreciated working with the Primo Catering team for my wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, the team was friendly/attentive, and they were so incredibly accommodating. Beyond that, Shannon went above and beyond for us in every single way. They had a beautiful candle lit dinner for our tasting and had solutions for every problem we encountered when planning our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Primo’s team for being such a key part of our big day! 🤍“

“I was visiting a nice Airbnb in Portsmouth and was invited to go to this restaurant I am so glad that I went small warm atmosphere great staff; great owner. My husband and I ordered two burritos called green monster let me tell you something there was enough to last two nights the portions were amazing next time I’m up that way I’m stopping there were that again thanks Crystina“

“Typical tavern style restaurant. Lots of bar and high top seating. Menu was basic American fare and tasty. Service was friendly but a little slow. Place was empty so I think that the one person they had on (working as bartender and waiter) was too busy.“
