Everything was so unique and delicious. I love how their offerings are always changing. It’s BYOB but they have suggestions tagged at the liquor store next door.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. We had the beet carpaccio, spreads, and lamb shawarma. Everything was fantastic. Will recommend to any friends traveling to Providence.

Food was fine. Nothing memorable. What was memorable was the rude staff. They set the tone for the night. I thought one of the women working there was rude, stuck up and quite pretentious. The restaurant is very small, there are no actual tables where people can face each other which is also off putting when you go out to have dinner. It really limits conversation when you are out with more than 1 other person. Providence is full of many wonderful restaurants where you can go and have a relaxing evening with good food and good service. This is not that place. I would not recommend to anyone looking for a nice night out.

Our first time here. This place was highly recommended by many people we know, and now we understand why. We decided to go for our anniversary dinner . The food was amazing, with lots of different flavors! Staff was nice and attentive as well. Definitely get the Salmon Ceviche, braised chicken thighs and Olive cake for dessert! We'll be back again !

This is one of the cutest BYOB spots in Rhode Island. located right in the heart of downtown, this is the quintessential cozy spot. Good for dates, catch up’s and even a pre show meal. The menu is seasonal. We typically get 3-4 dishes to share — though always end up with a small box to go. If you forget your bottle, there is a wine and liquor store next door.Pro tip: grab a street facing seat for excellent people watching.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and my dinner (Crab polenta). However, my wife wasn't crazy about the cheese and squash salad she had. Cheese was very tough and the squash didn't have a good flavor.So a split review. I would go again; she will not.

Wow! This place is fantastic. The setting is intimate but with great people watching on Westminster Street. The food is innovative, fresh, and beautifully presented. And the BYOB option means you can have what feels like an extravagant meal for little more than $100 for two. We had the salmon ceviche, baked saganaki cheese over fresh squash and pear, and crab risotto. And we still had room left for TWO fantastic desserts -- ricotta panna cotta with spiced pears dipped in chocolate and olive oil cake with lemon curd. Every dish we had was wonderful. The folks at Eno, the wine store next door helped us find the perfect bottle of wine to pair with our meal.

I can't believe Amaryllis has been open for two years and we didn't know about it. Stumbled across it last night when our first choice had a long wait. Very happy we did. It's like eating in someone home - someone who is an excellent cook. The food was all delicious and not pretentious at all. Sardines, fatoush salad, and monkfish crudo to start, followed by crab polenta, chicken thighs and lamb chops. Everything was great but the crab polenta was amazing. Picked up a bottle of wine next door and finished with a peach tart. We sat outside which was mostly nice except for a few idiots driving by blasting music - nothing the restaurant can fix. Owners were lovely. Can't wait to return.
Food was okay. Beet hummus tasted like a dessert. Very pricey for the portions. I had polenta with 3 pieces of zucchini which was well flavored but tiny portion for $ 26. Would not recommend. There is nothing special about this place for the price.

First time in Providence? Looking for something special to eat?Well look no further, Amaryllis is here waiting for you. I was desperately seeking for a place to eat that could fill my appetite and mood.Not being from the east coast I was tired of seeing so fast food joints, gastro pubs and lots of cosplay gourmet restaurants!Make your way down here and just get a whiff of what they are cooking in this makeshift kitchen. It's pure magic!I had one of the best meals ever in this charming little restaurant.The menu is varied and there is something for everyone. I had the anchovies and Lamb Chops and topped off desert with some homemade chocolate (so yummy!) For a minute, I thought I was dining in Barcelona or even Tangiers. The flavoring and detail to their food deserves the praise given here. Fresh plates cooked with an exquisite combinations of flavors. Be sure to ask for the homemade sriracha!The menu is beyond reasonably priced and the service from the two owners is exceptional.If you want to feel special and have a memorable meal - this is the spot. I promise you will be back. I will

I've been here twice now, first with my partner and the second time with a group of 4. Both times were fantastic. The food is so fresh and creative, the restaurant is cozy, and the whole ambience feels like a personal dining experience. Definitely one of my favorite date night or occasion restaurants in Providence. Highlights from the most recent visit: sweet potato appetizer, white anchovies, chicken entree, and lemon tart special. All was gluten free. The lamb and scallops I had previously were also fabulous. Can't wait to go back!Vegetarian options: Very veggie-forward menu, including multiple veggie entrees.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free. Most of the menu is GF or can be made GF.
