Red StripeNew appetizer is a 'must try'The Red Stripe has added a sausage board appetizer to their updated menu. It is absolutely fantastic. The selection seems to change daily but both times we ordered the board we were delighted. They serve the sausages with home-made pretzel bread which is warm and delicious.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMNice Neighborhood GemThis restaurant came as a recommendation from a colleague, It was perfect for our pre-theatre dinner. It had a very nice menu selection offering starters, small plates as well as full dinners. My husband started with the Iceberg Wedge Waldorf Salad, which had a great dressing over nice crisp iceberg lettuce and for his main course he had paella. The yummy saffron rice was chuck full of shellfish, chicken and charizo. He has a pretty hearty appetite and there was plenty, enough to even take some home. I started with the Sauteed Broccoli Rabe. What great flavor. The Rabe was not bitter at all and the olives and tomatoes were a nice addition. For Dinner I had the Nicoise Salad, I substituted the dressing for the house dressing. Yummy!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMLocal, energetic and good.Energetic scene. Great for Soup-n-sandwich locally.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a winnerWe've been to Red Stripe many times and we always find it to be fantastic. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals tremendously.5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMGO, GO, GO!Red stripe is a great restaurant. The service was excellent (the manager was super nice and knew how to handle situations). The food is very unique and delicious. The grilled cheese with tomato soup is excellent, and the seafood paella is really delicious with lots of seafood and well cooked saffron rice. I definitely recommend this restaurant!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial night, special dinnerI went there with my family following my college graduation ceremony last weekend. We were seated early, given great service and advice by the server, and had a wonderful meal. Staff was helpful, but not invasive or pushy.
Fresh baked bread from a local bakery was personally delivered to each of us, starting the night out on just the right note. The appetizer plate was expansive and delicious, and other diners at the table enjoyed their chowder, salads, and drinks. Entrees were plentiful, even a bit too big, but delivered warm and deliciously to the table.
The dessert menu, which we were too full to take more than a glance at, might have benefited from a bit more pizzaz to compliment the unique cuisine, but I'd definitely return!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMussels and fritesI am addicted to the mussels - have had the "Normande" on several occasions. So delicious!5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSaturday Night DinnerFantastic experience. The service was impeccable and the food tremendous. Was it a little loud? Yes...sure... But it wasn't like I couldn't hear across the table. I plan on going back very soon.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat spot..full range of foodGreat spot for a gathering of friends, or a nice dinner for two. It has the full range from burgers to more upscale fare. The wine list is long and reasonable.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial Features:

Your Review:
It was such a perfect day, Red Stripe had its large front window open! It was great to feel a gentle breeze and hear the outdoor sounds while still being in the comfortable restaurant. As usual the food was delicious. Even my picky 4 year old nephew ate his Mac and Cheese with gusto! Our waiter, Aaron, was very attentive. A candle-lit piece of birthday cake for my sister topped off a wonderful birthday lunch.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was such a perfect day,It was such a perfect day, Red Stripe had its large front window open!

The combination of a hard floor, no carpet, a hard ceiling, and absolutely no sound absorption materials anywhere makes it tough to enjoy the really superb food.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMTerrific restaurant. HadTerrific restaurant. Had brunch there with a large group--everyone was delighted with the choices and the food. Our waitress was outstanding, kept on top of everything and had a great sense of humor about it. I look forward to going back to Red Stripe.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic menu - couldn'tFantastic menu - couldn't devide what to order, but went with the mussels. Had a reservation for 6, sat ummediately and was greeted with water, delicious fresh bread and an immediate drink order. The waiter was knowledgable, pleasant and efficient. The entrees were all fresh and tasty. All of my guests loved their food and loved their experience.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had impeccable serviceWe had impeccable service from Dana from the moment we sat down to the moment we paid the bill. Everything was timely and the food was delicious. I never regret coming to Red Stripe.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMRed Stripe is our go-to placeRed Stripe is our go-to place when we're in town visiting our daughter at Brown. With enough time, we can reserve a table for 6 to include many of her friends. At the height of meal time, it can be noisy but the last time I was there, we went after a performance at 9:30 and it was calm and quiet. I love the food, I usually order one of the many mussel dishes but last time I went for the seared tuna for something a bit lighter since it was so late, the tuna was perfectly cooked although I wish the julienne veggies had come with a little less peanut sauce for a lighter taste. The kids wanted a taste of home so they went for the Lavender Brick Chicken and the Meat and potatoes so everyone was happy!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMOur friends joined us forOur friends joined us for lunch at your excellent Red Stripe.
We all loved our choices and will return again.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMRed Stripe is one of my topRed Stripe is one of my top favorite restaurants in Providence. I have eaten here more than 10 times and it never dissapoints with the food, service and atmosphere.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMRed Stripe is definitely aRed Stripe is definitely a neighborhood gem. The kind of place you almost don't want to tell others about, because it will get too busy. We have eaten there twice recently and have loved everything we had. The Steak Frites are especially good, if you are looking for red meat. The service is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly - a great combination in this kind of restaurant.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBAD BURGERS!!I have been to Red Stripe several times and enjoyed the many meals I've eaten there. I finally tried their 10 oz. hamburger and was extremely disappointed. I ordered it medium rare and it was well done and very dry. In addition to the burger being over cooked, the bun was hard and dry as well. I will eat there again, however I will never order another hamburger there again.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGood restaurant. Great food.Had brunch here for the first time and had a pleasant experience. Restaurant was crowded as usual and the food was delicious. Good service, not great. Seems like a family-oriented place as there were many children and infants everywhere. Good for groups.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMSurprised that such a greatSurprised that such a great restaurant is in a neighborhood setting rather than a more downtown setting. Definitely will go back again. Very small and tight seating so not good for group3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
