“I was fortunate enough to get a job here in 1996, when I was a sophomore at Bryant. Not only is the food amazing, I've been longing for it for years, tried to recreate a couple dishes myself. These people were my family when I was away from mine. Been gone for 18 years and still miss all of it and them every day. went back last year for a tournament at Bryant with my daughter, they still have every Christmas card I ever sent them of my children over the years hanging on the wall. Nothing says Family like that! Love and miss you all!“

“Exceptional food and fantastic service! I would highly recommend asking for the server Kevin B. What a well rounded server who gave us several suggestions which we were all impressed with.“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“The perfect bar for beautiful crafted drinks. The attention to detail is incredible! Our bartender Karael crafted our cocktails to perfection. For appetizers, I would recommend trying the chicken dumplings, it comes with a soy dipping sauce and this alone will have me coming back for more.“

“Love this place! Years ago we frequented Box Seats at this location but moved away from the area. A few months ago a friend told me about the conversion into Fast Eddies so we tried it. Not only is the place beautiful but the food, service and staff are all great. We have been back 7 or 8 times and have never been disappointed.“

“thanks for a friendly, fun, entertaining afternoon. Food was so flavorful and the drinks were delicious 😋 jazz music was so enjoyable 🥰“

“We tried Needle & Thread during Providence Restaurant Week and it was fabulous. Drinks were amazing and the short ribs were so delicious. The interior is gorgeous and adds to the speakeasy vibe. We will definitely visit again!“

“Very cool place with great music and staff. Monday night jazz is awesome!“

“Do not live here if you care about your car. On two separate occasions my car was vandalized and my roommates car was stolen from the off street parking. The landlords have done nothing to improve the security.“

“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.“

“Classic dark interior low lighting cocktail lounge. Our party of four enjoyed a mix of cocktails and a couple of beers at reasonable prices. Only a brief visit on this occasion as it was the one for the road as they say but would definitely return when I have more time.“

“A very chill and relaxing place to hangout with friends. Located behind a semi fake lingerie shop, this speakeasy style bar had great drinks and seat to lounge in and hang out with friends. The only downside being a short menu of food, but I still recommend the cheese plate. Just be aware it has a dark and moody ambiance to bring a flashlight/phone light.“

“5 stars across the board! If I could give 10 stars I would!! The food, the atmosphere, Chef Sky, GM Ben, Bar Manager Rachel and the Entire staff is amazing! They go above and beyond! My husband and I go there weekly for some of the most amazing food in Providence and love to see our Gift Horse friends! Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best oysters, fun drinks, beautifully inspired Korean/American cuisine and a lovely atmosphere!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“I've been to many sushi places, and this is the one I will continue to choose over trying another sushi restaurant again. I don't like avocado or shrimp, so finding menus that give other options is hard. This one hits a home run for other options with crab, tuna, and lobster! Service can be a bit slow sometimes if they are busy“

“I've worked in Restaurants since 16 years old and this is the best food I've had in decades. The Ratatouille is a perfectly light pasta substitute, The burger jam's sweetness contrasted the rest of the meal amazingly. Will come back every time I'm in Providence!“

“Loved it! service food drinks... all wonderful! Check it out!“

“Walking in is a vibe on its own, not to many restaurants have that. It almost feels like your not even in Providence anymore.Started off with some apps, i got the Spicy Shrimp( the sauce on the shrimp was very very good!) and the calamari. I personally dipped my calamari in the spicy shrimp sauce but thats a conversation for a different day.Unfortunately i didn’t get to have my drink in a flamingo or a lil piggy but thats ok. The drinks were very good!The Chicken Milanese was a bit too thin (my opinion) but it was good.The steak was cooked to perfection, the mushroom risotto was very very good too. Im definitely getting the tomahawk next time i come.“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Patio on Broadway in Providence, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The atmosphere is vibrant yet welcoming, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual brunch with friends or a fun dinner out. The food here is outstanding, blending creative twists with-classic comfort dishes. I had the lobster roll, which was packed with fresh, succulent lobster and served on a perfectly toasted bun. My boyfriend had the bolognese which he said was hands down the best he’s had! The menu has something for everyone, from hearty entrees like the sea scallops to lighter options like the poke bowl, plus plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices that don’t skimp on taste. The cocktails deserve a special shoutout—bold, inventive, and beautifully crafted. I went for a rose sangria and it was the perfect way to elevate the meal. The service was top-notch too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience great. Even when the place was buzzing with energy, they kept everything running smoothly. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“One of the best cigar bars in RI! The ventilation system is incredible, every seat is very comfortable and their selection is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“A true local and neighborhood gem. Food is amazingggggg and staff is very attentive and kind. Great place to have brunch or just have a fun dinner with a fun Latino spin! Truly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food and great drinks, can’t wait to come again!!“

“It's great to see the Xo Bar open again! It was always one of our top lounges to go to back in the early 2000s! Now its even better with the new hang out lounge area! It's so hard to find a nice place with cozy couches in RI. It has a great set up and friendly service! We will be back!!“

“I’d say this is the best restaurant in Rhode Island, no doubt about it. I got the honey barbecue tenders, fried pickles and the fried cheese curds and everything was above and beyond incredibly delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. 😊“

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

“CRU PVD was highlighted in RI Monthly, and it's Restaurant Week, so my wife and I stopped in last night (Tuesday), and tried the RW menu with wine pairing (optional) - which was fabulous. Portions were solid - food was fantastic - service in Mike's section was equally fun and superb. Great vibe - we'll be back!“

“Hands down one of the best meals ever prepared was done with Distinguish catering. Very professional and the quality of the meal on point. I cant wait to try more of their menu options!“

“Bandidos Woonsocket is nothing short of a wonderful dining experience. Friendly, attentive staff, fresh & delicious food, tasty margaritas and cozy atmosphere. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out!“

“food is great and the workers are great“

“best brisket really good drinks. kelly was fun and helpful 5 stars will be back“

“Love the place. Always a new taco to try. Serious taco lovers won't be disappointed.“

“our waitress was amazing the food was exceptional and my boyfriends steak was cooked to perfection and how we like it definitely will go back“

“We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! Not even sure where to start. It’s like a hidden gem, though it’s always busy. You almost can’t get further away from Galilee, but Giuseppe’s has the BEST calamari we’ve had. Always tender and tasty. Nothing fancy, just GOOD! The drinks are always good. Limited wine selection, but good wines!

They have the 2nd best bolognese I’ve ever had, and I’ve had A LOT! (The best was in Bologna during a trip to Italy last year). It’s better than ALL the RI restaurants we’ve been to.

The pizza is very solid and they always have great specials.

I almost don’t want to promote Giuseppe’s because I’m afraid I won’t be able to get in when I want to if too many people start coming!

Eat here. You’ll really like it!“

“I went to barnabys with family and loved the service, food, and drinks. Kaitlyn was our server and she was a pleasure to talk to and was attentive of our needs. Thank you for making my family's first time special and for helping to provide a special birthday treat for an amazing lady.“

“View is amazing! Staff is attentive and friendly.“

“Amazing dumplings. Food was fantastic“

“My wife and I love this place – – staff is fantastic – Brooks makes a really sharp Cosmo!“

“We love this place! Huge shout out to Jenni, we always get her somehow and we LOVE her. She’s very nice and efficient. Always in a great mood. Whoever the cook was tonight (Labor Day) was exceptional. Our meals were extra good, always good but tonight extra goood! Love this place, we move back to Indiana tomorrow and spent our last night here! Best strawberry margs in town!“

“The best in town try it you will like it great owners definitely awesome“

“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.“
