                    unfortunately I gave the food a 3 stars only because my veal parm dinner over cooked . Alexis our waitress offered to serve a new one but I declined because my wife’s dinner was already served and we would have eaten at different times. I eat the little bit that was editable. The chef should have noticed the dish before allowing it to be served . Also the women at the next table had to send hers back because it was prepared incorrectly. Maybe more attention needs to be made in the kitchen before serving the dish.

                    I expected my second visit for dinner to be as delicious as my first lunch visit, but it wasn't. We ordered off the menu for "Restaurant Week". The choices were a wonderful mix but the preparation was definitely not. The stacked eggplant appetizer could have been a warm welcome if only it had been heated. I would order the beet salad app again. The fried sole had the thinnest piece of fish, which was hardly recognizable between the burnt layers of breading. The desserts, panna cotta and chocolate mousse, were tasty. The bartender got it right, though!

                    The fig pizza was amazing. My friends liked the burgers and salad with grilled chicken. Our waitress Allie was wonderful. She was very attentive and helped with recommendations and got special requests exactly right. She refilled the water glasses without us asking.

                    It was a full restaurant on a Tuesday night! Even though it was Providence Restaurant week, we ordered off the regular menu. The food was very good and the server was very friendly and attentive.

                    We just had a bad service, if it was our first visit we would probably not return but that’s not the case.
