“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“Great place to have a good drink!!“

“thanks for a friendly, fun, entertaining afternoon. Food was so flavorful and the drinks were delicious 😋 jazz music was so enjoyable 🥰“

“Thanksgiving Day bloody Mary is breakfast and lunch and alcohol all in one“

“Very cool place with great music and staff. Monday night jazz is awesome!“

“We tried Needle & Thread during Providence Restaurant Week and it was fabulous. Drinks were amazing and the short ribs were so delicious. The interior is gorgeous and adds to the speakeasy vibe. We will definitely visit again!“

“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.“

“honestly best restaurant i have been to in a long time. everything was delicious. staff is 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)!“

“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!“

“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!“

“5 stars across the board! If I could give 10 stars I would!! The food, the atmosphere, Chef Sky, GM Ben, Bar Manager Rachel and the Entire staff is amazing! They go above and beyond! My husband and I go there weekly for some of the most amazing food in Providence and love to see our Gift Horse friends! 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“

“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.“

“Amazing food and drinks! Definitely best Mexican food spot in the area.“

“I hosted a surprise Birthday party at the Social House and it was a great choice! Paul runs a great business and his entire team is amazing! Everything was absolutely flawless! From the pre-party communication, the food, the drinks, the environment and the service…..100% satisfied! Thank you Social House on making my wife’s birthday a special memory!“

“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!“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is always amazing with a nice variety on the menu along with specials on certain days. Service is always inviting and fast. The manager Asia is super sweet and the servers are always on their A game…Laura’s is definitely a 20/10….“

“The food was amazing!! We will definitely go back but pray we get a different waitress. We were sitting 10 minutes before she came to take our drink order. We also had to ask for her multiple times because she kept disappearing. The other waiters were very attentive to their tables so hopefully we get better service next time. Again, the food was amazing!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious chicken & dumplings! The chocolate mousse cake was also excellent!“

“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“

“I usually come here for the Lobster roll which is always on point . This time I had the (Special) salmon . It was moist , flaky, and the innards were spiced nice. Although the crusted spiced top was a bit much too many. I ended up taking it off and enjoyed the rest … the Tempura crusted and spiced brussels sprouts were al dente and flavored well. Although a bit oily. I love the lighting above the bar, but it should be dimmed just a touch . I prefer to sit in the wooden boots instead of at the bar or high tops, although some may find the booths to be cramped and hard due to being un padded wood. PS the parking can be tight if you drive a larger vehicle.

Parking: If you go during peak dinner hours Parking is tight for larger vehicles … though there are spaces available along the fence/ bush.“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

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

“Hands down one of the best meals ever prepared was done with Distinguish catering. Very professional and the quality of the meal on point. I cant wait to try more of their menu options!“
