“just ordered food from China Gourmet in Signal Hill, Ca.. upon entering the restaurant a young man greeted me with a hello. He was pleasent and welcoming. He took my order of mushroom chicken, mixed vegetables and rice with a two order combo. I had BBQ pork, half and half and jalapeño chicken, with two drinks. Returned home and started to dive in! WOW IT WAS AMAZING! The pork was cooked just right, the chicken was extremely delicious and chow mein was actual chow mein and not Top Ramen noodles substitute. my friend who ordered the mushroom chicken and vegetables couldn't stop eating. I've been to numerous fast Chinese food places and none of them have been as good as this place with the quality of food and the amount given. the price was moderate in today's society of price gouging it was $27 and well worth it. if you enjoy Chinese food and really want to get a bang for your buck as well as and enjoyment of flavors in your mouth go to China Gourmet!“

“I consider myself a Crab Rangoon Connoisseur and Mei Sing has some of the best by far. They are stuffed with filling and always piping hot. The wonton wrapped around the filling is so good. I like to get a side of General Tso’s sauce to dip in - absolute perfection. The staff is always super nice and welcoming. Definitely worth a trip even if just for the Rangoons!“

“A new favorite, everything was fantastic. The Stoli Doli drink was a favorite. The shrimp and oysters 🦪 were delicious“

“Sal- BEAUTIFUL young lady with a tattoo on her hand...Was just amazing.... She has the most infectious smile, pleasure energy and complete description of all food items that entices the palate. This was the most amazing experience... she may do this all the time, however her impact on these two guests... GIVEs her around of applause!! Thank you ... Food was awesome too!!“

“A wonderful place with exceptional friendly service . The puff cakes are a dream . I ordered mine with fresh fruit . We also ordered the scrambled eggs. Light and fluffy it was delicious . The only thing we did relay to the staff ? It is served in a small cast iron pan and I immediately noticed a strong fishy taste in the eggs . Waitress told us they cook the lobster Mac in said pan . This could be a huge problem for the restaurant as some people are allergic to shellfish and could have a bad reaction to the scrambled eggs . We definitely will be back !“

“Had a date night with the wife. Great food and drinks . Great atmosphere 5 stars“

“We discovered this small family restaurant a couple of years ago and it has become one of our favorites! The sea scallops are the best we’ve had anywhere ( so sweet and cooked to perfection). We’ve tried many of the menu options and have never been disappointed.“

“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!“

“Myself and My dad went for the first time ever on Thursday May 9th. we are both huge seafood lovers however my mom and my husband are not. So we planned a night out and our number one goal was to look for a great Buck A Shuck with an excellent menu! We found both, my dad saw the Oyster Po Boy and he was sold right there. We arrived shortly after they opened around 3 and took our seats at the bar. I am horrible at remembering names. We ordered a dozen(6 for each) oysters. Shortly after we realized we should have ordered a dozen(6 for each) little necks. I am sorry for the inconvenience of not ordering them at the same time. After eating both the dozen oysters and little necks which was truly fascinating to watch as he just shucked them open with no problem. I ordered the Salmon Burger which was AMAZING and my dad got his Oyster Po Boy. Which he also said was AMAZING. The bartender asked if we saved room for dessert. However we both looked at each other laughed and ordered another dozen (6 for each)oysters as a dessert. All in All the food was great. Everything tasted so fresh they oysters and little necks were so sweet and briney. Fantastic!! Loved the atmosphere and watching all the orders go out and the gentlemen just shuck away at the oysters and little necks. Looking forward to the next time we come!!“

“Awesome food service just a great night out“

“I recommend everything about this place - phenomenal restaurant. Service was top notch. Oysters were perfect and lobster rolls were huge - they say 8 ounces of lobster - had to be closer to 1 lb. On a Friday, got there at 8:30 PM (after the dinner rush) and had no wait for a table. Pretty much a perfect dining experience.“

“Pickup our food and ate a delicious meal big portions and reasonable prices“

“Really good Lobster Bisque soap purchased from a local supermarket here in NE PA. Backstory. I attended Endicott College back in the day and remembered sitting on rocks in Rockport with bunch of friends, enjoying the fresh, local seafood. 🍤 I recently noticed this brand while shopping and although pricey, I decided to try it for lunch today. The boil bag was easy peasy, enough for two bowls and like I mentioned to poster below, I purchased some RANA lobster ravioli that were void of any indication of lobster, although it was listed as second ingredient on packaging. I combined the two. What a delight with great flavor, thick broth and satisfying product. It’s what I purchased when your New England establishment is a distance away. It’s next best thing! 😋🦞“

“You got the best fish and chips! Staff was super nice! I tried the oysters and they were amazing also!“

“If you're within an hour of East Greenwich and you're looking for an amazing meal outstanding service in a beautiful restaurant then look no further the Providence oyster Bar in East Greenwich Rhode Island. I just left there a short while ago. Upon pulling in I was greeted by a friendly valet attendant. Walking in I sat right down the servers came over provided menus water all standard you get that in most nice restaurants. Their attentiveness their professionalism their courteousness it's some of the best I've experienced in a very very long time. I've been all over the country I've gone some of the finest restaurants and writing downtown East Greenwich you have a restaurant who service will rival the finest restaurants in New York City. The food is outstanding the seafood across the board is fresh is delicious, nice portions. I give it 11 out of 10 Stars. So if you're within an hour's drive of East Greenwich go out of your way and head to Providence oyster bar in E. G. I'm quite certain you will be very pleased you did.“

“The LOOM hotel and The Brook Kitchen & Bar was a wonderful experience!! The staff were super friendly and the service was excellent. It was a comfy clean stay and The food at The Brook was tasty with good portions! The pancakes were fluffy and huge! Right across the street from a big mall that has a carousel, which was fun for our kids. I would definitely recommend friends and family to stay here when in the area and we would come back for sure! Thank you for the lovey time!“

“The chicken with fries with sauce and little extra was amazing had it for the first time yesterday. Haven’t had something that good in a long time. Loved it! It was recommended by a friend and I’m hooked. I got tostones too and those were great too!“

“Captain Resto's hosted my husband's 50th birthday and what a great venue it was! Eva and her staff were excellent, serving 50 guests. Food, cocktails and service were outstanding. I would highly reccomend this venue.“

“Excelente comida y atención 💯“

“Great food and friendly service. Beautiful location.“

“First time trying the lobster bisque and it was delicious! I’ve had other menu items in the past but the bisque is hands down my favorite! Who says you can’t enjoy seafood in the winter? Great for takeout on a chilly night. The dining in experience here is also very good. I’d reccomend for date nights during the warmer months. 🦞“

“So I randomly found about this place and had to go as my nickname is Iggi. We live in CT so the drive about 90 minutes and it was worth it!! This place is actual perfection. The food is incredible, the vibe is awesome, the service is the best and I even love the hoodie I bought there. Must try’s are the Lobster Bomb, Loaded Mash Potato flatbread, beer flight and the chowder flight looked amazing, I’ll try that next time. Everyone was so cool, all the servers, even the manager. Our server Nicole S deserves a shout out, she was attentive, knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend.“

“We ventured into Providence to Providence for a quiet dinner on a Sunday evening. I'm so glad we chose Ten Prime Seafood. The hostess was charming, the waitstaff was professional, and the food was delicious. We started with the Chicken Nuggets & Caviar, crispy and delicious. The Lobster Tortelloni in pink vodka sauce deserves its own fan club. The sauce is rich without being heavy--creamy, bright, and so flavorful! The swordfish entrée was just as impressive. It was beautifully seasoned and grilled to that ideal point where it's still juicy and tender. We finished off the evening with perfect pairing of Creme Brulé and an Affogato. Ten Prime Seafood is a wonderful addition to the Providence restaurant scene!“

“We went over the weekend for the first time since new renovations. The atmosphere was amazing! The music was awesome, and out meals were delicious. Our server Deedra was marvelous and made my mothers Birthday worth the visit. We will be back.“

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday at Portside Tavern, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish. The event space was spacious, clean, and perfect for a private celebration. Set-up was easy, the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent. A special shout-out to Caroline, who was wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Portside Tavern for any private event. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Legal Sea Foods delivered a solid dining experience with fresh, well-prepared seafood and a welcoming atmosphere - Rose (our waitress) was the best. The clam chowder lived up to its reputation—rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being too heavy. Service was attentive without feeling rushed, and the staff seemed knowledgeable about the menu. While prices are on the higher side, the quality and consistency make it a reliable choice for seafood in Cranston RI.“

“Love it“

“A great spot!! We love the food and drink and the service is the best!!“

“Always fantastic and delicious“

“I absolutely love the food! I always get the large carne asada. Its carne asada, white vegetable rice, salad with piccolo de gallo, carrot and macaroni salad, fried platano and beans. It’s authentic Guatemalan food and I love it.The inside looks a bit janky, but they just opened up. I remember the building itself was a party store than it became a Panda Express and now it’s Xoyita. I usually get take out and eat comfortably at home.“

“What can I say? Avenue N is definitely one of the best in the state for farm to table comfort food and cocktails. However they really outdid themselves with, what I would call, the new “it” dinner option- the birrio burger. Every bite has flavor & every bite melts in your mouth. I hope this becomes a weekly special due to its uniqueness. My “pear-suasion” drink complimented it perfectly. As always the staff there is top notch. Definitely make a reservation for an epic experience. PS please change up your dessert menu. We need some new creations.“

“Delicious fish and chips! I went yesterday the kid taking my order was super friendly! The fish and chips are so delicious definitely coming back thank you“

“Always good food! Wish they had a raw bar!“

“A wonderful experience and the best Italian restaurant in Rhode Island“

“**MY EXPERIENCE**

Bristol's energy was palpable as we discovered a hidden treasure—a bustling fish market smack dab by the docks. The salty air was alive with anticipation, each breath a promise of fresh delights. We grabbed a sandwich, and what a revelation it was! The fish hit the spot with such freshness. This local favorite was a culinary masterpiece, lovingly crafted from the very boats that braved the sea for the freshest catches.

Watching the fishermen at work , The atmosphere buzzed with life, drawing us deeper into Bristol’s vibrant pulse. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a dive into local life, a snapshot of raw energy that defines this city.

Service was good as we ordered and sat outside , this is a small building . We left satisfied and truly in love with this slice of Bristol paradise. This is where the adventure truly kicks off. I will be back!

**HISTORY & CONTEXT**

Quito's restaurant Nestled in the harbor waterway this eatery embodies the region's rich maritime heritage. Fishing here isn't just a job; it's a way of life. Local fishermen have long depended on these waters to provide the freshest ingredients, ensuring every dish tells a story of the sea's bounty and the community's resilience.“

“We have dined here a few times, from out of town, and last night had an amazing experience with our waitress,Toni! She was such a pleasure and genuine person. She made us laugh and will be asking for her when we go back! If you eat here- ask for Toni!“

“Good menu!!! Good drinks! Buen sabor y buen ambiente! Todo es bueno en “El Marinero” .“

“Great place! They accommodated my group of 12. Went out for dinner after Graduation! I will say the price isn’t the cheapest but I believe the atmosphere and food makes up for it. The Connecticut lobster roll was the best I’ve ever Had!!“

“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.“

“Always a great experience at The Lobster Pot!“

“Great food and awesome service.“

“Just came from Palmer River Grille, it's very nice inside and the food was excellent. My wife had a small issue with her meal (no need for details), the managers took care of it no problem, which they don't have to do, so I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Our waiter Derek was awesome! Just want to acknowledge everyone there, the wait staff etc. are very friendly, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and their food. I would recommend them to anyone and for sure we will be back. Thank you!“

“Last night, May 5th, my fiancé and I celebrated our engagement at The Capital Grille in Providence, and I truly cannot put into words how special the entire staff made us feel.

We had no reservations and decided to walk in after my proposal because the restaurant was across from our hotel. From the second we walked in, the experience was absolutely exceptional.

Our hostess, Jada, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. When she asked if we were celebrating anything special and I shared that we had just gotten engaged moments before, she immediately made us feel celebrated and cared for. When she brought us to our table, it was beautifully decorated with heart confetti and a handwritten congratulatory note. Such a thoughtful touch that instantly made the night even more magical.

Our server, Alex, was AMAZING. Truly one of the best servers we have ever had. He was attentive, kind, professional, outgoing, and made our entire experience feel warm and personal. Every recommendation was wonderful, the service was flawless, and he genuinely made our night feel extra special.

Then the manager, Danielle, came to our table to personally congratulate us. She had such a beautiful energy and made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. She told us if we needed absolutely anything, to let her know. That small moment meant so much to us because she genuinely did not have to go out of her way to make us feel celebrated, but she did, and it made a lasting impression.

The food and drinks were phenomenal from beginning to end. Everything was delicious. But what truly touched us was how the night kept getting sweeter. At the end of dinner, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert that said “Congratulations” and it was incredible. Even as people who normally don’t like cheesecake, we both loved it. And just when we thought the surprises were over, Alex came back with a bottle of champagne and two glasses as a gift to celebrate our engagement.

The level of hospitality, kindness, and genuine care we experienced at The Capital Grille was beyond anything we expected. They turned an already unforgettable night into an even more beautiful memory we will cherish forever.

Thank you so much to Jada, Alex, and Danielle for making us feel so special. We will absolutely be back. Five stars isn’t enough.“

“thank you for the complimentary limoncello and for Mathew's birthday dessert. the scallops and risotto were absolutely delicious and that roasted garlic was to die for. very well done. staff was pleasant as well.“
