We enjoyed delicious sangria and an assortment of sharing plates. The steak tips were definitely the highlight! Had to get a side of fries, as their fries are some of the best around. We didn't have time for dessert as we had a show to get to, but the offerings on the menu sounded delicious.

Our waitress was wonderful (Lindsay) the bartender was attentive. The food was spot on. The hostess was super friendly. Great atmosphere and we will be back. A great downtown spot!!

Menu is not as broad or diverse as previously ( new chef) but what we had was delicious, fresh and nicely served. Pity that they no longer offer eggplant chips. They were a crowd pleaser. The service, as always is delightful and very attentive.

Roberta

As always, the food and service were excellent. But we were disappointed with the changed menu, which offered fewer smaller plates. We eat here before the symphony, so we can't take doggy bags and we don't want to sit for two hours with very full stomachs. Earlier menus had more choices; we were down to appetizers and salads. Food is still delicious but I hope they consider adding more small plates again. Our server, Robert, was gracious, helpful, and professional, checking with the kitchen on a couple of questions for us.

Our server was attentive. Cocktails were creative. We had a few different appetizers. The flatbread, foccacia, and the steak tips skillet were delicious. The lamb meatballs were just ok. We will certainly return if we are in the area again.

Great host! Always look forward to seeing him. Perfect location to be when going to an event at Veterans Auditorium or anywhere else in Providence for that matter. Good food and great drinks. Looking forward to my next time there.

Having never been there before, I didn't know what to expect. Everything exceeded my expectations. Even with the amount of diners there, it was amazingly quiet. The food was fantastic. The wait staff was very attentive. I will be back.

Several booths remained empty till we finished our dinner, but the front manager told us they were fully booked due to “tons of reservations (which even didn’t look that way)” so we were not able to sit at the booth.

I think we went when a lot of people were out on vacation so the restaurant was completely dead. We went the Wednesday night before Easter.

We decided to eat here because we were going to a show at the VETS. So happy we did! Delicious food and pleasing atmosphere. We never felt rushed nor did we wait for anything. They have a smaller menu...but we appreciate that, I feel it allows the chefs to focus on primary entrees which leads to more flavorful and enjoyable meals. Definitely will return.
