Great business dinner at this spot. I would go back again. The wood fire bread oven was great! You could taste the smokiness/woodiness. All the food we had tasted great and was prepared well. Kitchen was a little slow and our server was slightly care free and quiet (could be more attentive and social since it was our first time there). We will go back next time we're in town to try some of the other dishes!

Food fell so flat. I will keep it concise, hopefully the kitchen can take some feedback :
Mortadella - too salty, paired with the already salty stracciatella. Also sliced way too thick, and sort of crumbled. Sub par bologna
Oysters - “lightly cooked,” actually was just served lukewarm oysters. Gross.
Whole fish with salsa verde - sauce was actually good but they said the fish was de-boned. It definitely wasn’t and as a restaurant you want to be very careful on this one. Full of pin bones.
Paccheri - Too much acid, nduja was no where to be found, same for the crab. Edible but the meal was already so disappointing I had no appetite
Basque cheesecake - overcooked, cranberries were lame and the olive oil was just a poor pairing
If you made it this far, understand that I would never criticize a restaurant like this if it wasn’t posing as innovative. They need to go back to walking before trying to run. They took our coats, that was a nice touch. The rest of the service was adequate

Beautiful service, cocktails, food, and wine. Easily the best Saba I have had—by far, they know what they’re doing.

The cacio e pepe (and all their pastas) verge on life affirming. Gorgeous restaurant, highly recommend getting a bunch of stuff to share.
Went to Oberlin for my husband's birthday and sat at the kitchen counter. The staff was incredible, very attentive and helpful. Sitting at the kitchen counter was wonderful, we got to interact with the chefs, ask questions while watching them make dishes. The attention to detail to every dish is truly wonderful and you can tell when you eat the food. We did not have a bad bite. We had the oyster, raw scallops, and raw tautog. Everything was incredible but the scallops were unmatched. Truly savored every single bite. We both got the pasta e fagiole which was bursting with flavor and a little kick of spice. We finished the meal with the cheesecake and beeswax ice cream which they were kind enough to surprise us with candle in the icecream for his birthday celebration. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience. Can't wait to return.

Service was haphazard and left a lot to be desired. Food was fine, but not any better than so many other great restaurants in the area.
Don’t sleep on the squash agnolotti and basque cheesecake!!

Oberlin is great! We came here on Halloween and the whole staff was dressed up. That was fun, but the food was better. The fluke crudo was exceptional. The sesame focaccia was worth the whole bill. And the pastas were magnificent. Go here!!!

Dined at Oberlin on a recent trip to Providence and it was such a win. We walked in around 6pm without a reservation, starving because we’d skipped lunch, and lucked out. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The foo was incredible. The oysters were super fresh (love that they’re pass through the brick oven), the fish was perfectly prepared, and the salad it came with surprised me with how flavorful it was. Drinks were great, and we ended with a dessert that was simple but delicious. Overall an outstanding meal—I’ll absolutely be back the next time I’m in Providence.

Food was very different but delicious. Had to have someone explain the menu to us. We were lucky to get a table. Cool atmosphere.

Food was quite good, but I’d recommend checking the menu before you go as there is not a wide range of food or drink options, particularly for wine by the glass.
Very unique menu a new friendly staff
