“The cocktails were great, the bartender was even better! We didn't eat, but you have to rate the food to proceed with this survey; not to mention it took two passwords, one text & one email, to give this survey...mot good OpenTable!“

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

“Do not live here if you care about your car. On two separate occasions my car was vandalized and my roommates car was stolen from the off street parking. The landlords have done nothing to improve the security.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Bar has a decoy front window to appear like a lingerie/sex shop. No sign on the outside. Sort of an adventure to find it. It's a hidden gem inside. Fancy, ups ale retro style. Incredible drinks and music. Small relaxed environment. Right next to knight library.
Located in a sort of sketchy area. So it's a real gem inside. Street parking. Lock your doors. No dogs allowed.“

“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.“

“I was a big fan of Bayberry Beer Hall and I'll be honest and say I didn't have big expectations for CRU. However, I've been there several times for dinner and brunch and every time I've come away extremely pleased with my experience. The food is really good, the menu changes seasonally, and hits that sweet spot of having many choices that feel healthy but also delicious. The price is very reasonable for the quality as well. Drinks are great, with some good cocktails and solid beer list. Service has also been great as well.“

“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)!“

“I’m actually mad at myself for being too scared to try a new place because this cafe is SO cute and the food and beverages I got are SO amazing! And super friendly staff. Chipotle Blt, peanut butter and chocolate latte with oat milk and dandelion tea. All of it 10/10.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere! And Christine our server was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. She checked on us consistently- thanks! I only got pics of our appetizers as we were hungry and chowed on our mani courses. Started with a 1930 DAQ, Wawtuhmelon and a Vino Rosso Gaio - all drinks were tasty! We started with the Truffle fries and the Crispy Duck Meatballs- oh my both were great! The flavor in the Duck meatballs was amazing! The sweet chili glaze just hits it out of the park! On to dinner I ordered the Steak Frites - excellent flavor and cooked perfect! Wife ordered the Chicken Picatta - very tasty with a great lemon flavor! Daughter ordered the Pink Vodka - also really flavorful with interesting noodles I had not had before. Thank you for a great experience- we shall be back! Thanks Chef Max!“

“I've been to many sushi places, and this is the one I will continue to choose over trying another sushi restaurant again. I don't like avocado or shrimp, so finding menus that give other options is hard. This one hits a home run for other options with crab, tuna, and lobster! Service can be a bit slow sometimes if they are busy“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“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“

“Great food? Service and atmosphere“

“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“

“Excellence! Kevin and Kim are amazing. Kevin’s dishes are an authentic Italian delight. Portions are perfect. Our new favorite! Our dining experience couldn’t have been more perfect. We will be back soon!“

“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“

“After riding bikes over the Henderson Bridge from Providence, we stopped in for lunch. There wasn’t a bike rack, but there was a long fence next to the parking lot that made locking up the bikes easy.

We each ordered the blue plate, which looking around the restaurant, seems to be a popular choice among diners. The server allowed us to substitute tenders in place of the fried thigh and drumstick for the blue plate. I ordered my tenders with the honey Cholula flavor and blue cheese sauce. My partner ordered the Nashville hot flavor with truffle mayo. Both were great, but I’d recommend ordering the Nashville hot or Spicy flavors with blue cheese in retrospect.

For sides, we tried the collard greens, cheesy cheddar grits, corn bread with honey butter, and pulled pork baked beans. All were very good. The cornbread was a good choice because it can serve as a dessert at the end of the meal. The grits and baked beans were both excellent as spreads in the Texas toast that comes with the blue plate. If you order the collard greens, note that it has a pretty intense (almost smoky) flavor and lots of bacon, so be sure that you like both. The creamed corn sweet potato tater tots were popular choices among other customers while we were there.

This is the perfect restaurant if you’re in the mood for fried chicken and Southern food. Bring your appetite because the food is filling; I was glad to hop back on our bikes and do some more exercise after lunch!“

“Our first time to the restaurant for brunch. the menu attracted us because of the authenticity of the offerings, especially the varenika, which is a very old recipe that's almost lost and forgotten. Food was excellent! as well the Greek coffee and a very pleasant owner. Will be back for the Greek wine and dinner. Well done!“

“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!“

“Was there last night with family! Had a great time, yummy food & delicious drinks😉 I had two spicy margaritas 🥵with just the right amount of heat. The brisket melt with the homemade fries that I have to say were the best 🥰. The slaw on the melt was very tasty too😋 All in all the food was very good. Everyone at the table enjoyed what they had!! And the wait staff is wonderful too. They were all so pleasant!“

“They catered a family reunion at my home last weekend. My family is Gujarati and this restaurant just hit it out of the park!!! Every esoteric Gujarati dish was a hit. We did puri, patra, mango ras, pulao, kadhi. Just outstanding! My family was raving about the food. The service and Anil’s responsiveness was on point. This place is run by true professionals!!!“

“I have been going to Slack's since it opened & the Shrimp Cocktail was so fresh ❤️
The staff shared with me that they've been there since opening day - which is admirable!!!
However, they seemed exhausted 😩“

“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.“

“You got the best fish and chips! Staff was super nice! I tried the oysters and they were amazing also!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We have been to Bandidos a LOT and we have always had an amazing experience. The food is wonderful, the drinks are delicious and the staff is so warm and friendly. I have yet to order the same thing twice, and everything has been delicious! We just used them as a caterer for an event and it was flawless, the portions were plentiful and everything was SO GOOD! They made it effortless, they set everything up for us and everyone had been raving about it! Bandidos will be the first place I go to for all of my catering needs in the future!“

“Food, atmosphere, people. A+“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere great cocktails“

“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!“

“Terrific food, drinks, and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and made it a great visit. We will be back again.“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

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

“I’d say this is the best restaurant in Rhode Island, no doubt about it. I got the honey barbecue tenders, fried pickles and the fried cheese curds and everything was above and beyond incredibly delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. 😊“

“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!!“

“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!“
