“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.“

“Classic dark interior low lighting cocktail lounge. Our party of four enjoyed a mix of cocktails and a couple of beers at reasonable prices. Only a brief visit on this occasion as it was the one for the road as they say but would definitely return when I have more time.“

“A very chill and relaxing place to hangout with friends. Located behind a semi fake lingerie shop, this speakeasy style bar had great drinks and seat to lounge in and hang out with friends. The only downside being a short menu of food, but I still recommend the cheese plate. Just be aware it has a dark and moody ambiance to bring a flashlight/phone light.“

“Stopped by for RI Food Fights Annual TacoMania….AMAZING tacos! I will definitely be back for more of the menu! Ali was great behind the bar…“

“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.“

“So, last night I needed to have a business meeting with a business partner that wanted to stay out of downtown after working all day in the city. We chose Hangry Kitchen, just 6 minutes from downtown. So much that I could say about the meal. But I will summarize it. I asked if I could get a side of tomato juice for my beer. (Yeah beer and tomato juice is amazing). They did not have any canned or bottled tomato juice. THEY JUICED SOME TOMATOS! The rest of the meal was just as memorable. Check them out (in between food truck visits)!“

“Celebrated a birthday last evening at Viola Cucina with a party of 12. EXCEPTIONAL! Small venue but comfortably accommodated us all. Fabulous food, drinks, and service. We all left very happy! Bravo!“

“Just visited for the first time, and it was worth the trip from the other end of the state! Delicious food, nice people, can't wait to come back!“

Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best oysters, fun drinks, beautifully inspired Korean/American cuisine and a lovely atmosphere!“

“Excelente servicio, un lugar muy acogedor“

“I've worked in Restaurants since 16 years old and this is the best food I've had in decades. The Ratatouille is a perfectly light pasta substitute, The burger jam's sweetness contrasted the rest of the meal amazingly. Will come back every time I'm in Providence!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“Walking in is a vibe on its own, not to many restaurants have that. It almost feels like your not even in Providence anymore.Started off with some apps, i got the Spicy Shrimp( the sauce on the shrimp was very very good!) and the calamari. I personally dipped my calamari in the spicy shrimp sauce but thats a conversation for a different day.Unfortunately i didn’t get to have my drink in a flamingo or a lil piggy but thats ok. The drinks were very good!The Chicken Milanese was a bit too thin (my opinion) but it was good.The steak was cooked to perfection, the mushroom risotto was very very good too. Im definitely getting the tomahawk next time i come.“

“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!“

“Fabulous lobster ravioli ! Great service! Will go back soon.👍“

“Stopped by last night for drinks with with Jessica Guarneri and wow, what a great spot. Good food, drinks were amazing, service was top-notch, and the vibe was very cool and upscale. The owner was walking around greeting people and doing quality control to be sure things were just right for all of his guests. My kind of place. I'll definitely be back.“

“Best food ever! Tons of amazing vegetarian options. The tofu quesadilla is so good and the rice is exceptional! I love this place so much!“

“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“

“A girlfriend and I tried Honeybird when it had opened. Small but beautifully modern. We tried the fried green tomatoes, the pierogis and the hot chicken boa buns. All were very tasty, juicy and flavorful. We sat at the bar and had adequate services, they weren't neglectful nor overbearing just not as personable as I'm used to while sitting at a bar. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

Since then I have been back twice and it has been consistent and delicious.“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“What a fun spot! They have so many great liquors to try and games to play if you want to hang with friends. We didn’t get to try any cocktails but the menu looked great. We took a bottle of the foragers gin and walnut espresso home with us as well as a set of the cute RI shot glasses. Definitely stop by if you are a fan of unique spirits!“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

“Love Love Love Fili! Only bring a sweater bc our party was freezing from the a/c, and be warned, on a Friday night the music is very loud and it's hard to hear each other if you are old as we are! But otherwise, we will return again and again.“

“It is a very busy place, karaoke every night, but, through it all they push through. The food is quicker than you think but not made lazily. Multiple areas, a small game room, outdoor space. Great place for aspiring singers to try some covers and practice also get stream time.

Vegetarian options: With a mostly Asian menu the options are endless.“

“A cool, comfortable atmosphere, good food and Jordan, our server, was phenomenal!“

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Patio on Broadway in Providence, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The atmosphere is vibrant yet welcoming, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual brunch with friends or a fun dinner out. The food here is outstanding, blending creative twists with-classic comfort dishes. I had the lobster roll, which was packed with fresh, succulent lobster and served on a perfectly toasted bun. My boyfriend had the bolognese which he said was hands down the best he’s had! The menu has something for everyone, from hearty entrees like the sea scallops to lighter options like the poke bowl, plus plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices that don’t skimp on taste. The cocktails deserve a special shoutout—bold, inventive, and beautifully crafted. I went for a rose sangria and it was the perfect way to elevate the meal. The service was top-notch too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience great. Even when the place was buzzing with energy, they kept everything running smoothly. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“One of the best cigar bars in RI! The ventilation system is incredible, every seat is very comfortable and their selection is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Pleasant and friendly staff with lots of smiling. Quick seating on a busy night. Large menu. Fair prices. Large portions. Drinks and food came out within 15 minutes. The martini of the week, dinner, and dessert were delicious.“

“I met up with a family member here yesterday for lunch. We live in different states and this was the halfway point for us. JP was our server and he was just the best!! Very friendly and funny! The food and drinks were amazing and we loved the separate rooms for dining. We're looking forward to making this our regular meetup spot!“

“Food, atmosphere, people. A+“

“me and my boyfriend travel around Rhode Island to find new and exciting date night resturants this one may be on the back road but it's right off the highway inviting atmosphere and decor and the staff amazing to top it all off they offer some of the best margaritas I've ever had and dinner was amazing we definitely will be going back and adding to our list of favorites for sure“

“The service was outstanding. The food was very good. We had the mussels followed by warm lobster rolls with butter. Very good cocktails. The others in our party had desserts which they loved. The sound level was fairly high, but we could still have a nice conversation without screaming.“

“A true local and neighborhood gem. Food is amazingggggg and staff is very attentive and kind. Great place to have brunch or just have a fun dinner with a fun Latino spin! Truly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food and great drinks, can’t wait to come again!!“

“It's great to see the Xo Bar open again! It was always one of our top lounges to go to back in the early 2000s! Now its even better with the new hang out lounge area! It's so hard to find a nice place with cozy couches in RI. It has a great set up and friendly service! We will be back!!“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“CRU PVD was highlighted in RI Monthly, and it's Restaurant Week, so my wife and I stopped in last night (Tuesday), and tried the RW menu with wine pairing (optional) - which was fabulous. Portions were solid - food was fantastic - service in Mike's section was equally fun and superb. Great vibe - we'll be back!“
