Excellent place all around, the food, the service the ambience. You can't go wrong here everything is freshly prepared.

-Bread starter: Fantastic olive oil seasoned with black pepper, onion, and garlic. Sensual, fragrant. -Ribs & Grits: Bright flavors, hints of orange, fused with soy sauce. Charred, flaky, tender, juicy ribs. Only $11! Great price, perfect meal for two. -Spaghetti: Layered texture: crispy breadcrumbs, fresh greens, buttery & lemony spaghetti, has some heat. The broccoli soaked up the heat and flavor nicely. Also perfect for two people. (Photo shows half of regular portion) Praline Cake with Peach Almond Ice Cream: Bright, spring taste. Warm, kind cake. Woody walnuts. It tasted as dynamic as the color of a peach: blush pink, sunkissed yellow, and a touch of ochre. Spectacular flavors, great service, prices are well worth it, and ambience was romantic but casual enough. Will be coming back!

Update from previous review. I was going here regularly. Unfortunately, one bad experience and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Not literally, because the food is delicious, but because they really messed up with my allergies. The server assured me that they could make the gnocchi dish without the corn (I have a severe allergy). It arrived and I started eating, only to find several corn kernels in it. I immediately stopped eating it, of course. But, the staff didn't seem to care and seemed annoyed that I returned the food and didn't want anything else. I had to leave immediately because I was starting to have symptoms and didn't want to use my epipen in the restaurant. It's too bad because they had been great about my allergies in the past. This was a couple years ago, but I've been too afraid to try again.

Fantastic restaurant on Broad that still somehow manages to fly under the radar. Broadway Bistro offers the flavors and presentation of fine dining, while also having a more relaxed atmosphere, larger portions, and reasonable prices. The service was also excellent, the bartender was very attentive to his customers and was clearly very skilled at his job. I had the pea green salad and the ribs and grits when I went and both were amazing. The pea green salad is probably the best winter salad I've ever had, with the pickled apple giving a bit of a bite and contrasting with the goat cheese and toasted almonds. The ribs and grits was delicious and such a good value. It feels like everyone near me ordered it as well, and for good reason. Very glad I finally stopped in, looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu!

Another trip to Rhode Island, another chance to go back to Broadway bistro and explore more of the menu. Ambience same as last trip, dimly lit, bistro vibe. Service was good sitting at the bar super easy. Had the shrimp, it's a must get. House salad was okay, pea green was better. The chicken thigh dish is fantastic. I debated not getting it cause I can make chicken thighs, nope not like this. Try the shrimp and chicken for sure.

Really a wonderful neighborhood place. Very comfortable to spend an enjoyable evening with friends, or alone at the bar. Very delicious food. The dishes are creative and the presentation always surprises. I do wish that more specials were offered to make the menu have more variety. That is the only reason for not giving it 5 star. The prices are reasonable and service friendly.. I really love this place and highly recommend it.

Had a lovely Tuesday evening dinner here for the first time since moving to the area, and I simply can’t wait to return.I adore a small curated menu, I just couldn’t decide I wanted to try everything. The food was perfectly portioned and seasoned, I’m shocked I still had room for dessert!Service was attentive, the atmosphere was so cozy for such a chilly evening.
