“Always a great experience there. Food was absolutely delicious as always! We started with Mozzarella Sticks (more like circles), they were super crispy and loaded with cheese. We both got the meatloaf dinner, was very good! Our waitress was very nice, definitely give her 5 stars!“
“If you’re looking for one of the best bars not just in Providence or Rhode Island, but probably in the country, it’s always hard to find consistency, quality, level of service, and ambience/atmosphere when it comes to restaurants, bars, etc. If you’re looking for a bar where all of those aspects meet in one place, definitely go to Marcelino’s—they never lack in any of those regards while taking it to another level. A great place for date night, unwinding after work, socializing with friends, etc. I will continue to go back time and time again and recommend it to others. Excited to visit their Boston location when it opens!“
“Lovely ambiance. Amazing staff. Great selection of food.Thank you Jasper for an amazing experience.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to choose fromParking: Parking is a little bit of a challenge, there’s about 3-4 diagonal spots. However, pedestrians were very kind and understanding.“
“You haven’t lived until you’ve had the Waffle’nator, it’s truly an out of body experience, it’s life changing. The combination of a homemade waffle drenched in warm maple syrup in the tight embrace of just egg, cheddar cheese and sausage is a marriage made in heaven. If you don’t believe in god you will after consuming this masterpiece nothing so pure has ever existed until now, and you are alive in this dimension privileged enough to take part. (sadly no picture was taken at the time of purchase the second the Waffle’nator rested in my hands it was gone, all self control was lost my only regret was failing to buy a second one).“
“The food was wonderful, tasty. It came out quick and hot. The spanish rice was fluffy and spicy. Thr service was friendly and made you feel comfortable. Absolutely love the atmosphere. The wall mural is beautifully done and each time you look at it you find something new. Definitely get a tamarin margarita.“

“Tiny on the inside but packs a mighty oyster punch. No reservations but there’s a standing bar area you can start ordering drinks and oysters from while you wait. Obviously come for the oysters, but stay for the Bulgarian lamb burger!! Also the kimchi brine oyster shooters. Man those things were delicious (and dangerous!!) Also also pickled fried onions. Get those you won’t regret it.“
“Frequenting Red Door has become a ritual for my friends and myself, and for a good reason - it's a culinary destination that effortlessly marries an exceptional drink menu with an inviting ambiance and engaging events. Red Door, in my experience, is a delightful journey through flavors with menu items such as the Heihei chicken and drinks such as Oaxacacillin, and Emerald City, and an ever-changing tapestry of events, and a haven of positive vibes.“
“I love the moody lighting and music that plays at night! Each member of the staff was extremely personable and we loved talking to Ryudo & Anthony about the stunning drinks/food they made. Watching them make a hot cocktail on a cold night was incredible!What really made this an experience instead of an outing was all of the small details that were paid attention to. Like higher quality paper towels in the bathroom, coasters matching the type and color of drink, utilities having a matching aesthetic (from lamps to teapots!) and bartenders personalizing each drink (offering us little changes they think we would like more, without us having to ask just based on how we react to the previous drinks). It was all so personal, and I loved watching every single person get that experience. I like that it’s just how they do things, and not just our one time experience onlyAnd I’m not just biased because I love the olives (they come in a little bathtub!!)“
“Excellent food!!! Dine in or takeout the food is always amazing 11/10 on quality, taste, friendliness of staff. Nashville hot is the bomb!!! Highly recommend!!!! Drinks are strong ☺️Parking: Parking on both sides, one is paved one is gravel.“
“Went there 4 da 1st time cus it looked like the only place mature and chill 2 smoke a nice hookah n have a nice drink 4 my bday weekend. We enjoyed ourselves a lot ppl & music was nice. I liked how they switched it up but no salsa music ? but it’s ok they played from time to time lots of reagaeton?Ambience and the whole vibe of this place was just ??..“
“Everything about this bar is top-notch. The staff was excellent. I would go back just to say hi to the bouncer. Our waiter was friendly and attentive in just the right amount, almost as if we were his only table, even though he seemed to be taking care of half the establishment.I did not have a bad cocktail and the empanadas and other apps were far better than I expected from a cocktail bar. I had a smokey old fashioned that is easily one of the best I've ever had.You will be paying more compared to other bars in the area but it is fairly priced and worth it. A+ all around.“
“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!!“
“This little gem was outstanding for our table of 4! The wait staff was efficient and Kim made us feel so at ease. The cuisine recommendation were spot on delicious and plentiful. The preparation of the calamari was tender and indulgent. We regrettably toppled wine glasses and the owners were unfazed and gracious. This is a destination dining establishment that leaves you feeling like famiglia. We will definitely be returning!!!“
“We attended a Maison Ferrand cognac seminar & tasting the other night at Sapphire & it was such a fun & unique experience for us. The staff at Sapphire (Melissa, Marc, & Shiv), as well as the guest bartender (Vannaluck), went above & beyond to make the experience interactive & memorable. We were greeted immediately with a French 75 made with cognac - Did you know that the original French 75 called for cognac, as well as many other classic cocktails? No? Neither did I. The welcome aperitif was a great lil' treat to kick the night off with. We were given a mini charcuterie selection to keep us busy until the main event, which began about 20 minutes after we arrived. Vannaluck talked us through the history & characteristics of cognac. We were given 3 small pours of different cognacs to taste as well as a serendipitous, bonus mini pour at the end. Throughout the night, the kitchen sent out a variety of tapas that UTILIZED COGNAC. Cognac glaze, reduction, brine, etc. Fascinating! I went in knowing next to nothing about cognac & left with a decent understanding of the spirit. I've always wanted to do something like this, & Sapphire made it extremely accessible. It was also amazingly affordable. I'm really looking forward to more events like this one. Sign me up, please.“
“From walking in I walked into a very upscale casual dinner vibe. Gabrielle was very attentive and accommodative. I ordered the Cuban and was suprised by how fresh and massive the order size was. The manager Mike was kind and made sure everything was to our liking. 5 out of 5, will come back.“
“We tried something local and new and we were not disappointed!I had a bourbon burger (perfect), the hand made chips were great and fried curd with their sauce was outstanding. The Coup, I was told, was beyond expectations (that’s big coming from a person who doesn’t always compliment.)We will be back to try more.Support small business!!“
“Finally tried this hidden gem with girlfriends for a night out and everything was absolutely amazing. The food, from the taste to the presentation was extraordinary! Atmosphere was comfortable and service was exceptional! Can’t believe it took me this long to try it. Will be back soon!“
“First time at this establishment. Want be the last. Great beverages, really good sized portions, and appetizers were great too. Our server Bella was really good. Ended the night with 5 of us sharing a desert. It was awesome. Can't wait to try a tower. We had a group next to us that had one. Great food, great place. Go here, you won't be disappointed.“
“This was our first time using Distinguish Catering and we couldn’t have been happier with the food, service, staff and presentation of food! Beautiful food table displays with flower arrangements and ferns. The food was amazing! Their attention to detail was outstanding! We will definitely use this catering company again. Thank you Benjamin and Jessica!!“
“This is my favorite place I have come by since moving to Rhode Island. The atmosphere is amazing and gives off great speakeasy vibes. The craft cocktails have fresh ingredients and are thoughtfully created. You will also get some of the best food in RI here. Highly recommend!“
“Great place. Great food. Only complaint, the price to value ratio sucks. Chicken parm dinner. Just chicken and pasta, 20 something bucks. It's all restaurants right now, I get it. Inflation blah blah blah. I hope that the prices come down or that the value ratio increases as quickly.“
“WOW… Where should I begin!!! Hosting my huge 40th birthday party at Saint on FederalHill in Rhode Island was an absolute dream come true. I had my New Yorkers, Massholes, and New Englands Finnest all in attendance for this grand affair! Mathew, what a guy, he helped me through out the whole process making sure everything was as it should be! James, what a wonderful GM, made sure the entire evening ran smooth and was great with all my guests! Raul the cook, DAMMMMMM that food was amazing! You can come to Sunday dinner any time?A special shout out to all the bartenders for putting up with 100 people drinking like fish and carrying on! Thank you to the rest of staff at Saint who went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the event was taken care of, from serving drinks and setting up food to assisting my guests throughout the evening. Their professionalism and dedication to making the party a success were truly outstanding.Not only was the staff at Saint exceptional, but the venue itself was absolutely stunning. The ambiance and décor of the restaurant created the perfect backdrop for my event, and the location couldn't have been more ideal. The convenience of having valet parking for all my guests was an added bonus that made the evening run smoothly and seamlessly.Thanks to the incredible team at Saint, my party was one of the best I have ever thrown. Their attention to detail, exceptional service, and beautiful venue truly made the event unforgettable. If you're looking for a top-notch restaurant with amazing staff to host your next event, look no further than Saint in Rhode Island. Highly recommended! Get ready for my next party guys!!! I’m coming in hot??“
“Every time lve eaten at Boundary it has been amazing. The food, service and drinks are all wonderful. The atmosphere and vibe is on point!! And the best pulled pork I've ever eaten. We tried brunch on Sunday and it was really good and I can't wait to do brunch there again. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever!“
“After attending church in Providence on Sunday, my friends and I chose to have brunch at Rouge Island Local Kitchen & Bar!Parking near Weybosset St always proves challenging, and even though we called ahead for reservations, we were informed that we still had to endure a 40-minute wait. Eager to indulge in our meals, we settled into the cozy yet slightly warm dining room.Taking 15 minutes to peruse the menu, I selected the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Sticks. Despite their appealing appearance, I found the texture and flavor disappointing, sensing the batter was undercooked. Conversely, my friend enjoyed them, praising their hearty feel & excellent cinnamon crunch exterior, rating them 4 out of 10.The absolute highlight of my meal was "The Bear" breakfast sandwich, priced at $23. It featured Beer Braised Short Rib Shredded Beef, Giardiniera Aioli, Cabot Creamery Sharp Cheddar, Roasted Garlic, Arugula, Fried Shallots, and a Sunny Side Egg on a Griddled Sesame Seed Bun. I opted for an over-easy egg and homefries. My brother & I both got this thing of beauty. We gave it an impressive 8.8 outta 10 for its fantastic flavors!Other friends tried the Crispy Chicken & Waffle, appreciating the crispy, meaty chicken but finding it lacking in flavor. The waffle, though well-cooked, was deemed average, with the fresh berries being the highlight. They rated it 6.1 out of 10 and expressed a desire to explore different menu items next time.One friend ventured into The Blondie French Toast from the specials menu, describing it as lackluster & mushy with an unexpected lemon taste. She mentioned that the flavors didn't complement each other well. Priced at $19 for two pieces, most of it remained on the plate, resulting in a unfortunate 3 outta 10 rating.I would like to extend special acknowledgment to our exceptional server, Ally, whose attentive service significantly enhanced our dining experience!Despite the mixed experience, our overall impression was positive, leaving us eager to return for more tasty and creative brunch offerings!FOLLOW ME ON Instagram @IGTYFOOD !!!“
“Absolutely love this Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is very welcoming, celebrating the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead through aesthetics. The servers are incredible nice and attentive. We have been a few times now the last couple months this is our new favorite spot. Thursday they have Happy Hour until 7pm (something Ma doesn't do) and I can't say enough about the delicious margaritas and their special Birria loaded fries has been my absolute favorite!Our first time here we were originally going to the place next door, but my daughter was in the mood for tacos.. zero disappointment! We keep going back again and again!This is a must try spot!“
“If you like Mexican food you have to come here. You'll thank yourself later. The Cochinita Pibil is like pork flavored soft butter. Neeza is family owned and everyone here is very friendly and welcoming so much so you won't want to leave. The decor is cozy, funky, retro-modern with the perfect tempo of Mexican music. Very relaxing. Wallet friendlyTequila flights...need I say more? We are working our way through the menu and loving it.“
“Went here for dinner this past week and it was amazing! I was craving ramen and my cousin said she knew a place and this is where we ended up. We went on a Thursday night around 6:30 and were sat immediately as we (three of us total) walked through the door which was awesome!Atmosphere: It is a very cozy environment, which I think was perfect. It definitely gave date night, or out with your friends vibes. It is pretty dim lighting which is great, especially for those who get overstimulated with bright overhead light. It was not loud at all and was easy to have conversation at our table.Service: Our server was really kind! I don't remember their name, but they had darker hair, with glasses and was super sweet and attentive the entire night!Food: I ordered the miso ramen, and my cousins ordered the veggie and chicken ramens. All of us were obsessed with how good it was. There is a large variety on the menu and something for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Favorite part of the ramen was the egg, which I know sounds odd to point out but they're SOOOOOOO good.Overall, I can't wait to go back and bring my friends visiting from out of town!“
“Really nice place with a good solid selection of cigars. Service is friendly and helpful. The only caveat to this great place is that if there are a lot of people there is gets LOUD and the smoke eaters seem to be able to keep up, but not 100% of the time. It's like they need to turn them up to really clean the air, because when they do that it clears up nicely. Once when I was there they had only one person working the humidor, bar, keeping the place cleaned, cashing out customers etc. She was very attentive under the circumstances and actually did a great job. Other than those things it's a very nice place to stop and enjoy a smoke. I'm definitely going back.“
“My girlfriends and I went to a themed brunch and it was beyond wonderful! The food was delicious, cute themed options as well as their regular menu. They had great cocktail options and the staff was beyond amazing. Everyone was so kind and attentive. Will be back for sure!“
“I just wanted to drop a 5-star review and give a shoutout to Dallas for making us feel so welcome this evening. I called ahead to inquire about mocktails, and was told they could definitely accommodate that request. My coworker and I showed up, neither of us drink, and Dallas made us both amazing mocktails. I often feel like the bartenders in most places are annoyed when you don’t drink alcohol but I really did feel welcome and included and was very grateful. The drinks were great, and I will definitely be back, alcohol or no alcohol. You guys are great! Thanks so much.“
“Yooo whaddup! I'm visiting from Miami. If you're looking for the freshest and tastiest oysters this is the place to be. Excellent customer service. Easy reservations. Great tasting food. Amazing experience. Highly recommend the Cherry Stone Clams.“
“Love Justine's! Very fun to take unsuspecting people to because you have to walk through an unmarked lingerie shop, give your ID to the bouncer, then have him open the curtain for you to go inside. Plush corner couches, attentive bartenders, and delicious drinks. A memorable date night spot!“
“Stopped in as we were in the mood for some bbq. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and corn bread. Others at my table got the chicken legs, sausage, wings, beans and coleslaw. Service was very good, food also was really good. The pickles were a surprise favorite among all of us.They also had an extensive whiskey list with standard prices for the offerings.“
“I can't say I've ever had a bad experience at needle and thread. I was so happy when they announced that they would be open on Sundays because I was able to celebrate my birthday there last night (2/18). Drinks are always on point. The menu changes seasonally and I can't say I've ever had any complaints. Looking forward to my next visit!“
“This place in MA serves up some of the best Butter Chicken in all of New England! The flavor is unmatched, especially when paired with their delicious Butter garlic naan. And don’t miss out on their Chicken biryani - it’s really good, and one portion easily feeds two when paired with other appetizers.The samosa chaat is incredibly tasty, although I do wish they offered larger portions.Service was excellent, likely because the place wasn’t too busy during our visit. Plus, with a spacious parking lot, parking is a breeze.They’ve even got a bar where you can enjoy a cold beverage while watching a game.“
“Very solid spot for dinner if you're in the area. Not mind blowing but good! Had the Greek style salad that was good but a bit overdressed and a bit heavy on vinegar for my taste. Pasta was cooked well (had the bolognese). Portions quite sizeable! Easy to make a reservation and service was prompt and the right level of attentiveness.“
“Best bar in Providence and I have only been to this one( can’t see anyone being better). Heard good things about it and it did not let me down. The ladies that work here are all tremendous, Polite, professional and know how to make a damn drink. Not only can they hold a conversation but the people that come into the bar can too. All around a great bar with great people and great drinks. Support this place because they deserve it and you will appreciate it too. I’m new to Providence and the place in a whole made me feel welcome!!!!“
“Over 400 kinds of whiskey! The food menu is small but good; no desserts. The boards have several fun options. Couple meals. Mostly apps, sandwiches, and burgers. This is where you go to have a few drinks and some apps with friends. Cute option for a date night. Not for kids. You go here to sample different types of whiskey you've never had. Some are expensive and some are not. There is beer, wine, and other spirits as well. Trendy. Great decor - metal and wood. As with most places in Providence, parking can be tricky. Give yourself some extra time.Kid-friendliness: Not for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No“
“My wife and I had a wonderful time thanks to our bartender, Nathaly. We had the mezcal negroni and it was a complex and unique take on the classic Negroni. Very cool vibe and great music.Review part II: My wife and I came back the following night for margarita Monday. Rosy, the bartender, was awesome and super nice. She made great cocktails. Maria, the general manager, made us feel like we were at home. Great people and vibes!“
“I actually was going into the plaza, to do something totally different. I went inside and everybody was so nice! I checked out the menu and noticed they have specials every day as well entertainment on Wednesday as well the weekends.I've been in PR how, many years. How they handle their specials as well as entertainment is the way an establishment should be conducted. I liked it so much, I wanted to share their menu on my Facebook.I do have a large following and I'm always more than happy to help promote.Keep up the great work!“
“Great place for hanging out and drinking ?They have drinks and appetizers for a great price (approx $4 each) as well as a $27 Fishbowls.I thought it was so awesome that each fishbowl comes with a Camp Nowhere rubber ducky, it's cool little souvenir for a fun night. You could even compete with your friend about how many lil ducks you would be taking homeI personally loved the fish bowls and got this month's special - Potion of Love as well as the Cajun Clunkers & Firecracker Chicken for appetizers.Definitely worth a visit“
