"nice seafood selection, rather sterile but efficient service. Vegetables are not their strong point! Boiled lobster was very good albeit salty. We paid the same here as we did at Chez Pascale but at the latter place the service, wine list, locally sourced food and experience was much higher quality. This place is fine, like a TGI Fridays for seafood."

"Our first visit to Providence and we wanted to have some good seafood and see a vibrant neighbourhood to rub elbows with the locals.
Got it at the Providence Oyster Bar. And that was on a cool March evening."

"Everything was very good. Service was good also. The swordfish special was delivered lukewarm, it was sent back and returned hot but dry.

A bit pricey, $400 for 6 people."

"Oyster Bar one of our favorites. In an area with numerous Italian Restaraunts it's wonderful to have a fresh, well prepared piece of fish. The appetizers are great and even dessert ( although we usually skip it) is also delicious!"

"My initial exeperience at Providence Oyster Bar was lunch with a friend about two weeks ago. I could not stop talking about the excellent fish and shellfish to my husband who is, frankly, difficult to impress. We took two guests with us for dinner last Friday night, and all were beyond delighted with their appetizers and dinner. Also, our server was knowledgeable, very pleasant and kind. (Nicole). The food is outstanding and, obviously, memorable."
