“The food here is so delicious.! The atmosphere does not disappoint, you need to try out there new pumpkin waffle it’s so mouth watering 😋“

“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“

“Stopped by last night and had dinner at the bar. incredible pork chop entree, great drinks, top notch service and wonderful ambiance. I'll definitely be back next week for more excellent dining.“

“I'm super critical, been in the industry a million years.... I was in a rush tonight, had a show to get to.... With a big party in progress, Harry was our waiter... he made room for us, was very attentive, and the food was delicious, & came out in time to make our show! Great experience!!!“

“gr8 8-8 service so so great“

“Always fantastic and delicious“

“Fabulous special occasion cozy spot. Fabulous for gluten free dining.“

“Service was a bit slow considering I got there as soon as the doors opened. It was ten minutes before my waiter checked in for drinks and such. I dined alone, and noticed the couples were all waited on first lol. Friendly enough waiter and good food though.“

“Excellent!!! Highly recommend, warm and cozy intimate atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Kaylin was very wonderful and great service she was very friendly and would request her every time! you won't be disappointed with her. I give her 10 out of 10“

“Great food. Attentive staff. Shareable plates!“

“We celebrated my daughter’s birthday. Party of 11. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly & hip“

“Been coming here since their initial location in Greenville. Went to their new location and loved it. Definitely smaller, but loved the intimate setting. Especially when guests embrace the concept. It’s like you’re all experiencing dining together prompting conversation with strangers gathering for the common love of food. Love everything about this new place. Oh and the food is still phenomenal.“

“We visited Besos 3 days ago. Was a completely amazing experience. My family took the opportunity to talk to chef Annie. Annie explained each ingredient for our paella. She made the difference between excellent and amazing experience. Completely lovely place. See you soon.“

“Our first time to Terra Negra was on January 1st 2026. My wife and I had an amazing time. The food, drinks and service was awesome.

We came back for the second time on Sunday January 4th for the Brunch. Again. Food , drinks and service out of this world.
Congratulations to the entire team for making our experience one to remember !!!“

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

“👍 👍 Would and will be back“

“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.“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“Wonderful night tonight at Cafe Nuovo celebrating a birthday for our twins. The food was fantastic and the server was wonderful. We loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

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

“The place where you can eat real soul food“

“The food and atmosphere during our latest visit to New Rivers were both excellent, as expected. It was the service that really stood out on this visit. When we arrived, the hostess kindly made sure we sat at the table she selected for us, rather than the bar as we requested, because she selected the best table in the restaurant for us. From there, our server struck the perfect tone. Warm, hospitable, discreet, and attentive, she made sure that we were able to keep the night about us, rather than her service. She seemed to anticipate our needs, never interrupting at an awkward moment or lingering too long. We enjoyed a leisurely, intimate meal gazing at the city's twinkling lights. The food was, as always, excellent, a wonderful expression of seasonal New England fare, presented artfully. My favorites were the pumpkin hummus with crunchy root vegetables, which a perfectly refreshing, sensual way to start the meal. The scallops were also great, presented with a knockout green sauce and some perfectly-cooked potatoes and green beans. Highly recommended - get a reservation, skip lunch, invite the best conversationalists you know and tuck in for a great meal.“

“Our server, John, was absolutely top notch, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive, and just a total pro at his job, he represented the restaurant beautifully and if I ran that place, I would be sure to keep him in the public’s service, food was great, view was great, 5 stars.“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“Great staff and great food at reasonable prices. My favorite breakfast spot.“

“I love it there. Very friendly atmosphere, good food and drinks. Live music!!!!“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“This is probably the best place I have ever eaten. The food is magical and makes you wanting more. Ive been telling everyone about this place. The menu is diverse with something for everyone. This has been my new restaurant to take people to impress them. I’ve brought my whole family here. They were extremely impressed and they are a tough crowd to please….trust me. I’ve also had my whole office go out here one night and they were blown away. My friends from out of town told me that next time they come this is the first place we are going. That’s how blown away they were by the food. I can keep going on about how great this place is. Basically if you have not tried it yet run. This is by far the best new restaurant in Providence“

“Great food, cigars and staff. A must stop!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food here is delicious! Just tried for the first time tonight and I can’t rave enough. This is amazing, real homemade food, and it’s at the most reasonable prices. Definitely going to be my new go-to spot.“

“I’ve been at the Harris for multiple family events, The Staff is very polite friendly, hard working, if you’re reading this recommendation to go out have yourself a night out. Great atmosphere, great staff. Food and drinks , oh did I mention the indoor n outdoor dining Fabulous. So help me support this amazing establishment“

“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.“

“My husband and I went for the first time on Saturday and sat at the bar. We ordered apps and cocktails and of course oysters. Best oysters in RI by far believe it or not. Drinks were ok but food fabulous! Would have given 5 stars if not for the bartender. She focused solely on my husband the entire time even gave him a free drink. It was very obvious and blatant disrespect to me. My husband even commented on feeling uncomfortable. As a former bartender the general rule is to pay more attention to the wife than the husband out of respect but also because most often the wife is writing the tip. We will for sure be going back but will sit at a table and maybe only order sparkling water.“

“Kim P is an amazing server. Everyone else is a poser.“

“Parkside is my favorite! !!!!! And I'm not just saying that because my hubby works there. The food is truly amazing, the service is incredible and the atmosphere is perfect!!!! I would go every week if I could!“

“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.“

“First time customers...exceptional food..lots of it...gigantic selection...Maddie was our server, wonderful lady...will return...fried whole belly clams on menu...unusual but happy to see that...“

“Everything we tried was exceptional.“

“I hadn’t been to this restaurant in a few years. I was supposed to meet a friend for an early dinner (4pm) My friend cancelled so I decided get takeout. Excellent service from a very friendly and accommodating staff. And the most important part, the food, delicious! I took advantage of the lobster fest promotions. Lobster roll was delicious. I could not eat it all. Highly recommend.“

“Good food, attentive staff“

“We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and Megan made incredible drinks for all of us. The service was incredible with Gianna. We had the calamari to start which was wonderful. I had the scallops and risotto and the rest of my party was equally happy with everything they got. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Thank you for your membership, we look forward to working with you in the future!“

“Yum!!!!!! My favorite is their fried green tomato sandwich! I also love the fried green tomato benedict special! I wish that was a regular menu item!“
