We came here for the first time for our wedding anniversary and were more than impressed with this restaurant. Food and service were spectacular and we definitely will be back again. I definitely want to say thank you for making our anniversary that much better will continue to recommend this establishment to all my friends.

I recently took a trip to the CAV to try their Lobster bisque with some friends. From the second you walk in you are met with eclectic decor that sets the tone for what is almost guaranteed to be a great meal experience. Our waiter was attentive and informative. The Lobster Bisque, like the decor, was very unique as it’s made with Tahitian vanilla. It almost reminded me of a butternut squash flavor so if you are looking for a traditional bisque this may not be for you but definitely worth a try!!! The Florentine was also amazing. I will for sure be returning to try out their lunch menu.

I was most impressed by CAV; also surprised I hadn't been there before. I attended a baby shower and enjoyed the whole experience. The staff was so attentive and receptive to all the guests. I still can't believe the cake was made there. It was the best cake I've ever eaten. The food was wonderful though I think I missed out on the pasta dish I was hoping the chicken came with pasta not oven roasted potatoes.

Great food, slightly dismissive service when we asked about non-alcoholic mixed drinks. I realize founder was a long time and popular Providence bartender, suspect he would have come up with something wonderful that fit the bill. The food was terrific, and atmosphere is lush and overwhelming in a good way -- decorated with antiques for sale.

I finally made it back to my favorite eatery back in P. The food is outstanding as always. That said the wait staff was equally as extraordinary. Just when I think this place has dialed it all up to 10… they figure out a new way to make an amazing visit even more special. In my opinion this is the one sure thing that has never never disappointed.

The best meal we’ve had in a long time. We love to sit at the bar and meet “new best friends” and had a wonderful experience chatting with our mixologist, Goo and “new friends” Sue and John. The crab cake appetizer, sea scallops & shrimp and the duck confit were all outstanding! To top it all off — creme brûlée.

This is not the kind of place that has trendy new food. This is the kind of place that has been running the same dishes for 20+ years and removed all unknowns from the equation.Amazing spot for filet mignon with gravy on top of French fries on top of mashed potatoes. That feeling you get from a poutine that hits just right, but instead of poutine it’s a mouth watering tender steak. This is your place.I had a bit of an issue with a clueless busser who pretended to understand what we were asking for and then proceeded to not do it. I also received my steak underdone despite asking for medium, so they had to put it in for longer which made some parts a little tough. So be mindful of that.Other dishes are good too, the calimari is local and amazing (big though), and a seafood pasta I don’t remember what it’s called.It’s not as ridiculously expensive as you might think. All in all, you can get a delicious date-night dinner for 2 with two entrees, two drinks, and a shared dessert for ~$100. Not bad at all.
