“Gracie’s vegetarian and tasting menus were creative, fun, and delicious! Can’t wait to discover more.“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“Our server, John, was absolutely top notch, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive, and just a total pro at his job, he represented the restaurant beautifully and if I ran that place, I would be sure to keep him in the public’s service, food was great, view was great, 5 stars.“

“The place where you can eat real soul food“

“My family & I dined at New Rivers to celebrate a birthday and it was absolutely exquisite. The food and drinks were delicious- huge compliments to the chef. Everyone was so friendly and they made us (including my 9mo son) feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our meal. We can’t wait to dine here again!!“

“Wonderful night tonight at Cafe Nuovo celebrating a birthday for our twins. The food was fantastic and the server was wonderful. We loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I came here for taco Tuesday and the food was very good. I wasn't impressed at all with the service. Upon arriving , there was no host to greet even though there was a sign that said wait to be seated. Once the bartender took notice she seated us. Our service was very slow.
We sat outside, where there is plenty of bar and table seating along with indoor seating. I will come again but service needs improvement.“

“we had a wonderful experience sitting at the chef's table today for brunch! everything was delicious, we will definitely be back“

“This is probably the best place I have ever eaten. The food is magical and makes you wanting more. Ive been telling everyone about this place. The menu is diverse with something for everyone. This has been my new restaurant to take people to impress them. I’ve brought my whole family here. They were extremely impressed and they are a tough crowd to please….trust me. I’ve also had my whole office go out here one night and they were blown away. My friends from out of town told me that next time they come this is the first place we are going. That’s how blown away they were by the food. I can keep going on about how great this place is. Basically if you have not tried it yet run. This is by far the best new restaurant in Providence“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Strive is beautiful inside. I love how each of the rooms give a different vibe. Check out the speakeasy downstairs. Deon and Chef Teddy make us feel like family every time we dine here. I have not had a bad meal or drink. We have tried both the brunch and dinner menu and they did not disappoint. Date nights are perfect on Friday night before 8pm.“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“Great food, cigars and staff. A must stop!“

“People, music, Djs, just excellent!!!“

“Never in my life had I had a fish 🐟 sandwich like dunes I am a food lover must say from Boston to Vegas to Costa Rica never ever had a sandwich like that order it then thank me I am the honest ONE“

“My husband and I went for the first time on Saturday and sat at the bar. We ordered apps and cocktails and of course oysters. Best oysters in RI by far believe it or not. Drinks were ok but food fabulous! Would have given 5 stars if not for the bartender. She focused solely on my husband the entire time even gave him a free drink. It was very obvious and blatant disrespect to me. My husband even commented on feeling uncomfortable. As a former bartender the general rule is to pay more attention to the wife than the husband out of respect but also because most often the wife is writing the tip. We will for sure be going back but will sit at a table and maybe only order sparkling water.“

“The Arizona Steak Bowl and sweet potato fries hit the spot!!! Outstanding food and fits perfectly in my macros!!!“

“One of the best burgers in Providence!!“

“Wings were amazing! The beer selection is great and the service was beyond perfect! Will definitely be back!“

“Amazing taste combinations and bar. Staff was courteous and friendly“

“Smokin butts and drinkin gin and juice on the Narragansett. Also they flash the outdoors lights every night and occasionally set off fireworks at 8:30pm for the children's hospital across the river before they go to bed. Good peeps. 👌“
