    We always have a very good experience at Providence Oyster Bar on Federal Hill. We ask for Kelly to be our server. She is very knowledgeable about the menu. She knows what we like and remembers what we had last time. She is easy to speak to and makes sure that we are happy.

    We went on recommendation from co-worker and was not disappointed. We did the 3-530 appy hour. Was fantastic, we tried virtually everything on this menu and lived it. Chicken wings OMG so damn good. Oyster and cherrystone buc a shuck excellent deal. Everything was perfect, I would recommend a better draft selection, maybe Kona , yeunglin . Great wait staff, thanks for the outstanding service.

    It’s a neighborhood gem, the oyster were great, the fried bay scallops sweet and tasty. They got very busy, so an early meal is beneficial
