    Great overall experience! Came here for my sister’s birthday and then saw the comedy show downstairs! Food was great, but it was the treatment from our server, the manager and the drink staff that made this such a great time! Thank you!

    We had the absolute pleasure of dining at the Rooftop at Providence G on July 4th to celebrate my birthday, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The weather was perfect, the views were stunning, and the food and drinks were even better—but what truly made the evening exceptional was our server, Jillian. Jillian was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She offered great recommendations, explained ingredients and pairings with confidence, and helped us navigate some standout dishes. From the fresh oysters and lobster roll to the crispy calamari and colorful cocktails, everything was delicious. Her warm personality and attentive service made our dinner feel special, and she played a huge role in making my birthday unforgettable. Highly recommend visiting this rooftop gem—and if you’re lucky enough to get Jillian as your server, you’re in for a treat!

    Absolutely superior experience! Our server was amazing! The food was delicious. I could taste the quality of each ingredients in my New England clam chowder and the stuffed shrimp entree. Everything was perfect. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary!
