- EEdwardGreater Boston •15 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were seated in the upstairs dining area. It was quiet and warm on a cold night outside and was perfect for conversation. It was Restaurant Week and they offered 3 course dinner options. The choices were all excellent. We chose the Scallops and the Halibut entrees and they both were great! Our waitress was very attentive, but still allowed us time for enjoying our meals and conversation. All in all a perfect meal in a great restaurant!More infoCirce Restaurant & BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Providence•4.8
- MMarinaRhode Island •22 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 4, 2025Fogo de Chao did not disappoint us as usually! We came to celebrate our daughter's visit (she came from the West Coast) and had a great time! Food was outstanding, the service was great all around (from the first step into the restaurant and throughout our dinner), our drinks were delicious, the restaurant read my message I sent with the reservation and seated us at the table I courteously asked for. Everything was wonderful! Thank you, Fogo de Chao!!!More infoFogo de Chao - ProvidencePrice: Moderate• Brazilian• Providence•4.2
- JJohnVIPNew York City •191 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 3, 2025Capital Grille, Providence never disappoints! The food is extraordinary. My nephew had the Wagyu steak with lobster tails, it is heavenly! The baby crab and lobster cakes were amazing as was the sea bass. John Burke, our waiter and Patrick, our busboy were superb! They are both incredibly personable, but not intrusive. They pay attention to details. Just a fantastic dining experience.More infoThe Capital Grille - ProvidencePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Providence•4.8

Discover Providence
Long known for its classic New England seafood, Providence has also recently garnered a reputation for fine contemporary dining options. As a college town, it offers an abundance of laid-back, reasonably priced restaurants. But because the Johnson and Wales University campus is home to a well-respected culinary arts program, the town has become a popular proving ground for up-and-coming chefs. Even Providence's college students know and expect good food, which keeps the standards in this waterside city exceptionally high. The food options have also been heavily influenced by the city's proximity to Boston and New York. That means a lot of hearty, locally sourced dishes and ample pizza options. Providence's palate is also quite sophisticated, with restaurants serving up everything including French, Swiss, Italian and even vegan cuisine.
