“If you like Mexican food you have to come here. You'll thank yourself later. The Cochinita Pibil is like pork flavored soft butter. Neeza is family owned and everyone here is very friendly and welcoming so much so you won't want to leave. The decor is cozy, funky, retro-modern with the perfect tempo of Mexican music. Very relaxing. Wallet friendlyTequila flights...need I say more? We are working our way through the menu and loving it.“
“Everything about this bar is top-notch. The staff was excellent. I would go back just to say hi to the bouncer. Our waiter was friendly and attentive in just the right amount, almost as if we were his only table, even though he seemed to be taking care of half the establishment.I did not have a bad cocktail and the empanadas and other apps were far better than I expected from a cocktail bar. I had a smokey old fashioned that is easily one of the best I've ever had.You will be paying more compared to other bars in the area but it is fairly priced and worth it. A+ all around.“
“OH MY GOD HEATHER! I told you that would be the headline for my review. after waiting an hour elsewhere to even have our order taken, we left. We'd been here once and sandwiches were great, so we thought we'd try again with some friends. Phenomenal is an understatement! Service was top notch and the food so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Buffalo mozzarella triangles are a must try! Even if you don't like heat, don't worry. they're made with a homemade Buffalo sauce that is light and creamy with a slight hint of spice! the breading has just a touch of fresh basil and they literally melt in you mouth. my boyfriend said the meatball sandwich may have been the best he ever had. I cannot recommend Grainsley's enough and I can't wait to see what culinary delight I enjoy on our next visit!“
“I went there for my birthday. The chef wrote me a card which was so thoughtful. We got the white bean and focaccia bread. This was soooo tasty. For dinner, I had the crab cake and eggplant. My partner who is not a vegan enjoyed the food as well. The staff was so great as well. I would definitely recommend and return.“
“Officially one of my favorite bars in Providence! It's gorgeous inside, but the drink was absolutely amazing, and I don't typically drink. They have some great options, but I chose the beet drink with goat cheese foam which initially intrigued me but simultaneously sounded strange. Well it was delicious! Loved our experience and will be back.“
“Lovely ambiance. Amazing staff. Great selection of food.Thank you Jasper for an amazing experience.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to choose fromParking: Parking is a little bit of a challenge, there’s about 3-4 diagonal spots. However, pedestrians were very kind and understanding.“
“The food was wonderful, tasty. It came out quick and hot. The spanish rice was fluffy and spicy. Thr service was friendly and made you feel comfortable. Absolutely love the atmosphere. The wall mural is beautifully done and each time you look at it you find something new. Definitely get a tamarin margarita.“

“Finally got around to trying out the new Barrington location and it was nothing short of amazing! We got there on a rainy Sat night - called ahead to see if they took reservations but were told no and that there should be no wait. We got there shortly after and were promptly seated and serviced. The new spot is def a few steps up from the old spot - updated, modern and airy. Meaghan was our waitress and was wonderful - as was all the staff. It was outstanding friendly service and efficient all at the same time. We started with the loaded tater tots and the octopus special. The octopus was cooked wonderfully and the tots were a fun appetizer to share - reminds me of my elementary school lunch if I was Richie Rich. But the spotlight goes to our entrees - I got the chicken parm with fresh rigatoni and the pink vodka sauce and he ordered veal parm with fresh bucatini and pink vodka sauce (how unoriginal ). Both were delicious! I love me a good vodka sauce and fresh pasta - my rigatoni was maybe 20 seconds short of being al dente but I'd prefer a tad harder vs soggy floppy pasta. The bucatini however was perfecto! The mister said it was one of the best veal parms he's ever had and that's a tall order to fill! All drinks were creative and tasty! And with how delicious dinner was, we had to get some dessert and they didn't disappoint! We were way too full and took the rest of dessert to go. With the nightmare that is the Washington Bridge debacle - this is a great place to support more locally, you won't be disappointed! No need to go to the Hill for some good Italian (they do serve up Portuguese fare as well) when we've got a great spot in our backyard! With apps, drinks, dinner and dessert - tax + tip was close to $200 but well worth every penny!“
“Tiny on the inside but packs a mighty oyster punch. No reservations but there’s a standing bar area you can start ordering drinks and oysters from while you wait. Obviously come for the oysters, but stay for the Bulgarian lamb burger!! Also the kimchi brine oyster shooters. Man those things were delicious (and dangerous!!) Also also pickled fried onions. Get those you won’t regret it.“
“I love the moody lighting and music that plays at night! Each member of the staff was extremely personable and we loved talking to Ryudo & Anthony about the stunning drinks/food they made. Watching them make a hot cocktail on a cold night was incredible!What really made this an experience instead of an outing was all of the small details that were paid attention to. Like higher quality paper towels in the bathroom, coasters matching the type and color of drink, utilities having a matching aesthetic (from lamps to teapots!) and bartenders personalizing each drink (offering us little changes they think we would like more, without us having to ask just based on how we react to the previous drinks). It was all so personal, and I loved watching every single person get that experience. I like that it’s just how they do things, and not just our one time experience onlyAnd I’m not just biased because I love the olives (they come in a little bathtub!!)“
“A very small cafe in east Providence. The food was good but quite expensive honestly. Staff was friendly. They have two vegan options: a brownie and some sort of “cheese” sandwich ( which I had and was really good) I would go againVegetarian options: I am aware of 2 vegan options but there might be more. Plenty of vegetarian options though.Parking: I didn’t find any parking. I ended up parking at India point park.“
“Best fried chicken I’ve had in Rhode Island. I’ve lived in the south for a number of years and this place gets it right. The Nashville Hot Chicken Bao Buns were our favorite. We also loved the creamed corn and mac and cheese. Give this place a try if you’re looking for delicious chicken and southern comfort food.“
“Dude what can't I say about this place It's Tight As F! Food awesome and what a cool azz menu! Owner cool Dude! Bartender cool azz Dude! Drinks Stought! Entertainment was there as well I mean what a group singing karaoke every time. Nata meen!!! ;)“
“Went there 4 da 1st time cus it looked like the only place mature and chill 2 smoke a nice hookah n have a nice drink 4 my bday weekend. We enjoyed ourselves a lot ppl & music was nice. I liked how they switched it up but no salsa music ? but it’s ok they played from time to time lots of reagaeton?Ambience and the whole vibe of this place was just ??..“
“A truly unique bar that packs so much character into a small space. From the movie posters to silent film projections, this place is covered floor to ceiling with conversation starters. Great selection of beer and cocktails. Galactic only sells one food item, a grilled cheese, and it’s honestly one of the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had.Offers a variety of entertainment including karaoke, open mics, comedy shows, and live music. Fun intimate vibes.“
“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!!“
“Frequenting Red Door has become a ritual for my friends and myself, and for a good reason - it's a culinary destination that effortlessly marries an exceptional drink menu with an inviting ambiance and engaging events. Red Door, in my experience, is a delightful journey through flavors with menu items such as the Heihei chicken and drinks such as Oaxacacillin, and Emerald City, and an ever-changing tapestry of events, and a haven of positive vibes.“
“We attended a Maison Ferrand cognac seminar & tasting the other night at Sapphire & it was such a fun & unique experience for us. The staff at Sapphire (Melissa, Marc, & Shiv), as well as the guest bartender (Vannaluck), went above & beyond to make the experience interactive & memorable. We were greeted immediately with a French 75 made with cognac - Did you know that the original French 75 called for cognac, as well as many other classic cocktails? No? Neither did I. The welcome aperitif was a great lil' treat to kick the night off with. We were given a mini charcuterie selection to keep us busy until the main event, which began about 20 minutes after we arrived. Vannaluck talked us through the history & characteristics of cognac. We were given 3 small pours of different cognacs to taste as well as a serendipitous, bonus mini pour at the end. Throughout the night, the kitchen sent out a variety of tapas that UTILIZED COGNAC. Cognac glaze, reduction, brine, etc. Fascinating! I went in knowing next to nothing about cognac & left with a decent understanding of the spirit. I've always wanted to do something like this, & Sapphire made it extremely accessible. It was also amazingly affordable. I'm really looking forward to more events like this one. Sign me up, please.“
“We tried something local and new and we were not disappointed!I had a bourbon burger (perfect), the hand made chips were great and fried curd with their sauce was outstanding. The Coup, I was told, was beyond expectations (that’s big coming from a person who doesn’t always compliment.)We will be back to try more.Support small business!!“
“Amazing food and experience. Their menu is fluid and every option is unique - made it tough to pick given how appealing everything sounded. Wife and I enjoyed the Mac Daddy burger, Odeum chicken sandwich, and a King Street Steak Tip sandwich because it was too tempting. Our sever Nicole was amazing, and manager John was incredibly nice and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back here.“
“I just wanted to drop a 5-star review and give a shoutout to Dallas for making us feel so welcome this evening. I called ahead to inquire about mocktails, and was told they could definitely accommodate that request. My coworker and I showed up, neither of us drink, and Dallas made us both amazing mocktails. I often feel like the bartenders in most places are annoyed when you don’t drink alcohol but I really did feel welcome and included and was very grateful. The drinks were great, and I will definitely be back, alcohol or no alcohol. You guys are great! Thanks so much.“
“Great place. Great food. Only complaint, the price to value ratio sucks. Chicken parm dinner. Just chicken and pasta, 20 something bucks. It's all restaurants right now, I get it. Inflation blah blah blah. I hope that the prices come down or that the value ratio increases as quickly.“
“This is my favorite place I have come by since moving to Rhode Island. The atmosphere is amazing and gives off great speakeasy vibes. The craft cocktails have fresh ingredients and are thoughtfully created. You will also get some of the best food in RI here. Highly recommend!“
“WOW… Where should I begin!!! Hosting my huge 40th birthday party at Saint on FederalHill in Rhode Island was an absolute dream come true. I had my New Yorkers, Massholes, and New Englands Finnest all in attendance for this grand affair! Mathew, what a guy, he helped me through out the whole process making sure everything was as it should be! James, what a wonderful GM, made sure the entire evening ran smooth and was great with all my guests! Raul the cook, DAMMMMMM that food was amazing! You can come to Sunday dinner any time?A special shout out to all the bartenders for putting up with 100 people drinking like fish and carrying on! Thank you to the rest of staff at Saint who went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of the event was taken care of, from serving drinks and setting up food to assisting my guests throughout the evening. Their professionalism and dedication to making the party a success were truly outstanding.Not only was the staff at Saint exceptional, but the venue itself was absolutely stunning. The ambiance and décor of the restaurant created the perfect backdrop for my event, and the location couldn't have been more ideal. The convenience of having valet parking for all my guests was an added bonus that made the evening run smoothly and seamlessly.Thanks to the incredible team at Saint, my party was one of the best I have ever thrown. Their attention to detail, exceptional service, and beautiful venue truly made the event unforgettable. If you're looking for a top-notch restaurant with amazing staff to host your next event, look no further than Saint in Rhode Island. Highly recommended! Get ready for my next party guys!!! I’m coming in hot??“
“Located in the oldest indoor mall in America, Rogue Island has an eclectic Prov-Centric cuisine. If you haven't signed anywhere in Rhode Island this may be confusing. Let me explain. You see Providence has arguably the best food in North America and we have our own little twists to things..Unique, creative entrees and appetisers paired with local beers and spirits are just the beginning. I really can't do the quality of food here enough justice with words. They change the menu seasonally to reflect local sourcing and rhythms. They shop as local as possible. The chefs are locals. The vibe is Unique to Providence. It's located centrally downtown so there are no excuses because it is nearby buses, Uber and parking. Go here, eat great food and be happy!!!Dietary restrictions: Tell the staffParking: EverywhereKid-friendliness: Not so muchWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Ok so who knew Warren, RI had so many AMAZING food spots? I can't wait for my next visit to this cute little New England town.Most recently I had the pleasure of dining at Revival through a recommendation from a close friend and MAN! this place did not disappoint. The inside is cozy and welcoming, the service was speedy and friendly and the food selection was incredible. I also love a place that has specials - my mother in law enjoyed the short rib pappardelle. My first time having Osso Bucco and OMG - I need it again and again. Cocktails weren't half bad either, I'd love to return for a more casual snack and drink.“
“This was our first time using Distinguish Catering and we couldn’t have been happier with the food, service, staff and presentation of food! Beautiful food table displays with flower arrangements and ferns. The food was amazing! Their attention to detail was outstanding! We will definitely use this catering company again. Thank you Benjamin and Jessica!!“
“This place is awesome! Went here the first time a couple weeks ago on date night. So good. The waitstaff is so sweet and the restaurant is so lovely inside—so colorful and full of life!We had enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. I had a couple yummy cocktails—great!“
“Very solid spot for dinner if you're in the area. Not mind blowing but good! Had the Greek style salad that was good but a bit overdressed and a bit heavy on vinegar for my taste. Pasta was cooked well (had the bolognese). Portions quite sizeable! Easy to make a reservation and service was prompt and the right level of attentiveness.“
“Over 400 kinds of whiskey! The food menu is small but good; no desserts. The boards have several fun options. Couple meals. Mostly apps, sandwiches, and burgers. This is where you go to have a few drinks and some apps with friends. Cute option for a date night. Not for kids. You go here to sample different types of whiskey you've never had. Some are expensive and some are not. There is beer, wine, and other spirits as well. Trendy. Great decor - metal and wood. As with most places in Providence, parking can be tricky. Give yourself some extra time.Kid-friendliness: Not for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No“
“Quiet Thursday night but regardless the service here was outstanding. Our server was on point with making sure we were well taken care of, offered suggestions and was personable and just over all great.Cocktails were amazing, well balance and tasted great.Food was solid, we all enjoyed our meals from the apps to the dessert. If I were to criticize anything it would be the nacho appetizer that wasn’t as good as the rest of the meal or experience.That being said, we will be back and I can’t wait for the better weather to enjoy the outdoor bar and patio“
“Yooo whaddup! I'm visiting from Miami. If you're looking for the freshest and tastiest oysters this is the place to be. Excellent customer service. Easy reservations. Great tasting food. Amazing experience. Highly recommend the Cherry Stone Clams.“
“Love Justine's! Very fun to take unsuspecting people to because you have to walk through an unmarked lingerie shop, give your ID to the bouncer, then have him open the curtain for you to go inside. Plush corner couches, attentive bartenders, and delicious drinks. A memorable date night spot!“
“So, my girlfriend, and I wanted to try some new places that we have not been to. The food was very different, and eclectic. We tried the General Tso's Cauliflower, which was very good. Lots of flavor, and like the fact that it's a vegetable. Something different. For my entrée I had the Mozambique Mac & Cheese. It was two different flavors poured into one dish. Bravo!!! The only issue we had was that there parking lot was really small, but that will not stop us from going back. We will be back.“
“I can't say I've ever had a bad experience at needle and thread. I was so happy when they announced that they would be open on Sundays because I was able to celebrate my birthday there last night (2/18). Drinks are always on point. The menu changes seasonally and I can't say I've ever had any complaints. Looking forward to my next visit!“
“Great all around experience. Smoked wings and brussel sprouts were terrific, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pulled pork, brisket and chicken sausage were all great in their own way with nice blends of flavor and a good mix of crisp and tender bits of pork and brisket. The food didn't need extra sauce, but it did add a little to the pork. Finally, we all agreed that the skillet cornbread was amazing and would be worth doubling up on in the future!“
“Great drinks! My friend had the pineapple passion which the bartender made when she said she has a huge sweet tooth, and the bartender made me a cocktail when I said I like semi-sweet and bitter drinks and it was fantastic!! Apricot syrup, peach blossom vodka, and citrus. Cute place!“
“Bottom line: a delightful French bistro with absolutely delicious food, a casual, cozy vibe, and an excellent value. Something different in the East Bay. An underappreciated gem.We’ve been going to Le Central for a few years and recently rediscovered just how good it is. The vibe is French bistro, complete with black and white checkerboard floors. It’s casual, relaxed, and cozy. It feels like French comfort food.The menu is thoughtful and amazing for how truly delicious the offerings are. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of some of the best French dishes, without pretense or weirdness (no snails or frogs legs). Starting with the table bread, half of a baguette, perfectly toasted and partly sliced, with soft butter and some olives on the side.The onion soup is full of melted Guryere cheese, caramelized onions, rich beef stock, and toasted baguette slices, served in a ramekin. It’s perfect and utterly irresistible. Pair it with a salad and it’s a meal.The Salad Nicoise has perfectly cooked green beans, roasted fingerling potatoes with butter and parsley, roasted red peppers, a bed of arugula, a nice filet of perfectly poached salmon, and a mouth-watering lemon-caper compote. It’s hearty enough as a main course for lunch or dinner, and is deliciously satisfying (and I’m not usually a salad person).The hamburger might be one of the best you’ll have. A hand formed patty of organic beef on a toasted Brioche bun, served simply with tomato and lettuce, cheese (cheddar, Guryere, or Roquefort) and applewood smoked bacon optional, and a side of ultra-thin and super-crisp potato frites (too good to be called mere ‘French fries’). We love burgers, and both think this is hands-down the best we’ve had in the area (it’s the spiritual opposite of Chomp burgers which are excellent in their own right but very different with many heavy, spicy additives that make for a ‘wet’ burger). Le Central’s hamburger stands on its own simply with the highest quality ingredients prepared perfectly (like the rest of the food).Coq au Vin (chicken with wine) was a revelation. A half of a Cornish game hen (breast, leg, and thigh), braised in burgundy wine, served in a crock brimming with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and bacon, in a rich, thick, velvety stock, and a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. Just the smell made my mouth water before even taking the first bite! It was heavenly, deeply satisfying, and very hearty and filling.There are always some specials, often including an omelet. Recently we’ve had asparagus and brie, and mushroom and Guryere, variations. They were spectacular, served with a side of potato frites. They turn brunch into a special experience and feel decadent despite the modest price. They offer a full brunch menu that looks yummy, though we haven’t (yet!) tried it.Desserts are homemade. Our favorite are the Rochers (“rocks”), chocolates like turtles. Dark chocolate filled with the specialty of the day, various nuts and fruits. Order at least one if you’re stuffed and don’t think you can fit in anything else, but a plate of 4 goes down easily with tea.The drink list is massive. In the spirit of a French bar there are dozens and dozens of liquors of every kind. A nice offering of about 20 wines (French of course), every one we’ve ever had has been a winner. Some beers, and even several ciders, apple and pear varieties, from Normandy!This area has tons of typical bars/pubs/taverns, seemingly one on every block, along with Portuguese (Portuguese-ish) and Italian restaurants. Le Central stands out, both for being unique in offering a great selection of the best of the best of French foods, and for the amazingly high quality and reasonable prices. It’s one of the great, underappreciated secret gems of the East Bay area. If it was in Boston the prices would be more than twice as high and people would be raving about it.We’ve been finding it hard to go more than a week between visits.“
“Best bar in Providence and I have only been to this one( can’t see anyone being better). Heard good things about it and it did not let me down. The ladies that work here are all tremendous, Polite, professional and know how to make a damn drink. Not only can they hold a conversation but the people that come into the bar can too. All around a great bar with great people and great drinks. Support this place because they deserve it and you will appreciate it too. I’m new to Providence and the place in a whole made me feel welcome!!!!“
“Location is nice and clean with several TV's up with various shows on. Great atmosphere very friendly staff.Parking: Restaurant is on a corner which allows plenty of street parking. The side of the building has you parking on the sidewalk.“
“So I have to say I am really pleased that Diego’s has got its groove back. I was there in June for a disastrous brunch and we left aft 45 minutes of a really bad experience. I mention this as the owner must have cleaned house. I was there on Sunday for brunch and I can not help but to describe the experience as phenomenal. The service - impeccable. It was almost as if the waitress knew when our drinks were almost empty every time. She also had some great recommendations related to the food and drinks. The food - phenomenal. We had the crack fries as an appetizer and it was not only great but the portion large enough that I had trouble finishing my actual meal. And the special - I had the Chicken Benedict. The only thing I can say bad about it was it was so big I couldn’t finish it. Everything about it was perfect - it had a little zing, the cornbread was a perfect alternative to an English Muffin, and the chicken so good. So my compliments to the owner and staff. I don’t see my review from June but I’m sure they remember it and changes were made. We decided to give it another try and I will I say this without hesitation… this was probably one of the best brunch meals I have had in a long time. Well done - we will definitely be back.“
“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.“
“We had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday. Our server Steven was very attentive as well as serenaded my wife with the most beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday. The dinner music was lovely, the singer had a fantastic voice as well. “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates is my wife’s favorite and he sang it to the T!! Don’t get me started on that Banana Cream Pie, by far the best I’ve ever had!!! We will definitely be back!“
“We came from Ct randomly searching for a local dinner and were not disappointed!!! Karen, our server, was courteous and knowledgeable of specials not on the regular menu. Well, our dinner was outstanding! We had the swordfish and tv dinner's, nothing short of exceptional! From Karen to the chef who cooked our dinner we had NOTHING to complain about! Definitely coming back on our next trip! With a special note to Karen, THANK YOU!“
