“I’ve always loved Blackie’s as a restaurant, but hosting my husband’s surprise 60th birthday party there made me appreciate it even more. Everything about the event was absolutely wonderful. The private room was beautiful and decorated so nicely, creating the perfect atmosphere for such a special celebration. It was the perfect mingling space where everyone could comfortably move around, socialize, and enjoy the party together. The food was delicious with beautiful presentation, and there was more than enough for everyone. Our guests kept commenting on how great everything was. The staff was attentive, professional, and helped make the entire event feel seamless and stress free. I highly recommend Blackie’s not only for dinner, but also for special events and celebrations. It was truly a memorable experience for our family and friends. A special thank you to Jeanine for all of her help in making the evening so perfect and memorable.“

“Our family just recently hosted a private event here, and The Last Resort Restaurant and Bar far exceeded our expectations. The staff was refreshingly attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The dining space was perfect for our group. Every dish was fresh and beautifully presented.

If you are looking for a restaurant to host a special event, I highly recommend this establishment. They made our special occasion unforgettable, and we look forward to celebrating here again!“

“Always enjoy the freshest ingredients! Best falafel hands down. Diverse menu but I have my staples with chicken shwarma plates, gyro fakafel wraps, hummus and grape leaves. Loyal customer for years!“

“I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT ... GREAT FOOD, FRIENDLY STAFF, SEAFOOD IS EXCELLENT, FOOD IS ALWAYS FRESH. PRICES ARE GOOD, AS WELL. COMFORTABLE SEATING IN BOOTHS. ONLY ONE DOWNSIDE...... COULD USE A FEW MORE HANDICAP PARKING PLACES.“

“The food is great. Good size portions.Drinks are awesome. Deserts to die for. Friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. Call ahead. Very busy.“

“For starters. how about filling the drinks instead of bringining a partial drink that's FULL of ice. I asked the server what the deal was. He told me that they are only allowed to put 4.5 Oz or they'll get fired. WTH. That's ridiculous.“

“Quite possibly the best meal I’ve ever had, in or outside of a restaurant. I had one of the specials, a Portuguese-style steak, which was cooked perfectly medium-rare. Juicy, smothered in a delectable sauce. The portion was incredible for the price. The service was perfectly paced, the staff were attentive and friendly. I will be coming back, and inviting everyone I can!“

“Today was me and my wife’s first time going to Olneyville New York System in Providence and we were both in awe while we were there and we kept talking about it how awesome it was after we left. Not only were the wieners excellent but the fries are some of the best we’ve ever had. Gotta get the coffee milk to go with the wieners, it is delicious. Most importantly, I want to give a shoutout to the crew that was working today. You all made us feel so welcome along with being super nice and accommodating to us. All I can say is that we will be back not only for the excellent food but for the atmosphere itself. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you all again. Have a great day !“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“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.“

“Dined here last night before PPAC, for that reason we made an early dinner reservation. I confirmed when calling they had valet parking. We arrived to find no valet attendant. After some back and forth with hostess and manager my husband was finally able to come inside for dinner, nearly 30 mins wasted. Our server AJ provided exemplarry service; she was personable and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We appreciated her service, and our dinners were all very good. As we departed we confirmed with the tardy valet attendant if we could leave the car and pick up after the show as we do with neighboring establishments and he said no because they would be closed by the time the show was over; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. The valet was rude, late, and it’s terribly unfortunate that the valet ruined what could have been a great dinner with friends.“

“Every time I eat here they up the standard for what my new favorite meal is. I don’t like mushrooms so tonight they made the best ribeye I’ve ever had with Shishito peppers instead of mushrooms and it blew my mind. The Baked Alaska is the best dessert I could ever imagine. I’ve been here about a dozen times and they just get better and better.“

“Holy Toledo… I just got the vegan cheeze pizza for the first time and it’s my new favorite!! SOOOO good—you could fool an omnivore with this one! This is definitely going to be my new regular pizza spot!!“

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

“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“

“I first saw Tomaselli’s at Rosario advertised on TikTok by a young lady who showed the size of the Chicken Parmesan. Unbelieving, my husband, my daughter, and I went to Tomaselli’s to check it out ourselves. We were not disappointed. We’ve never seen Chicken Parmesan that large. Had enough to feed my husband and myself supper the next night. Dining is in a large hall. Very informal, family friendly.“

“Our first time here and what an amazing surprise, this place is not just good, it's fantastic! Salmon was top notch, dessert was incredible, coffee amazing and drinks, out of this world. and our server Christine was as amazing as the food, what an amazing experience, we will definitely be back, and regularly!!“

“Fabulous special occasion cozy spot. Fabulous for gluten free dining.“

“I'm leaving a 5 start review because overall it's a great establishment. Standard pricing, the music was above average, the food was okay and the establishment was generally nice. Some members of the staff need to be careful with back of house conversation being overheard. I don't think the owner should be faulted for one bad employee. Overall and objectively, would be a 5
star experience.“
