Pasta sauce from a can. Over cooked pasta. Dull flavors. No real parm or Romano to be seen.
Felt like the three of us had been “a nuisance”

Found this spot for breakfast and after eating here I was surprised by the high food reviews. Service was very good. Nice staff. I usually don’t do bad reviews but The food was terrible. Avocado toast tasted like something you could get at Dunkin’ Donuts (but worse). The potatoes seemed like they had been sitting out all day I couldn’t even eat them and The coffee wasn’t good either.

Only had breakfast early on Sunday morning, so I can't speak to the atmosphere at any other time. It was quiet and well lit. The menu was decent but a bit pricey. I got the Bagelwich with ham (pictured). The sandwich itself was quite simple so I was concerned about the $12 price tag. It was a huge sandwich with multiple thick pieces of ham in it. It came with 3 hashbrowns (like what McDonald's serves), they were fine. Also a small few pieces of fruit were included. Overall, the value of the sandwich was worth the price.I looked around the rest of their menu and nothing particularly unique or special jumped out at me. I didn't realize the sandwich would be made with hamsteak cause that wasn't listed on the menu (it was a pleasant surprise). My advice to management, if your food items have something unique about them, highlight that on the menu otherwise no one is going to know what makes your restaurant special.Servers were friendly. I'm perplexed at a situation that occurred though. My partner ordered a scrambled egg a la carte and it took significantly longer than my sandwich (which was made with scrambled eggs). They wait staff continually apologized for the delay and ultimately ended up taking it off the bill, but I don't understand how two orders for the same table using the exact same ingredient ended up coming out of the kitchen so far apart.

Closed due to COVID…. Dude. That was March of 2020. It’s January 2023. Yet another example of a business (Providence Hotel) using a pandemic that ended 2 years ago as an excuse to cut costs at customer’s expense. Disappointed - the $300 per night Hotel experience isn’t nearly as nice without the ability to order room service. Guess I’m gonna have to walk to the liquor store for warm champagne at 8pm.
Awful service and overpriced drinks. Say at the bar for 10 minutes before the bartender even acknowledged our presence. The space wasn’t even busy. He seemed to be conversing with his friends at the opposite ends of the bar. When he finally DID acknowledge us, we were met with immense attitude like he was annoyed that we came in and wanted a drink at the bar.....Providence has way better bars and restaurants with better quality cocktails and staff.
Wonderful breakfast in an upscale setting. Great service, Harold was charming. Eggs Benedict was great, Greek omelet too. Home fries were done perfectly. Good coffee.
Juan was our bartender and waiter, awesome guy. Makes a very smooth Manhattan, and the food was over the top. Definitely will stay here again.

Great food and very quick service. Awesome night.
Dinner and a show parking included. The service was spot on. The food and drinks were great.
We've only been here after shows at PPAC, but in those times we enjoyed ourselves. It is generally not overcrowded after shows, we're able to get a seat at the bar. It is modern looking on the inside, also not too loud. We were able to talk to have a conversation with friends without yelling
Before the theater menu was perfect. Beautiful dining area with attentive service. I liked the choice of having desert after the show. Great idea.
