Bearing in mind we went there on New Years Eve, we were pleasantly surprised to have no wait for our reservation with a special request for a booth seating. Our waitress and busing service was especially nice. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Pawtucket, RI. There is well-lit parking and the food is fabulous. We have tried a variety of dishes in the past and have not been disappointed in the least. Very good restaurant. Dora

Dined on a Wednesday night. In addition to their regular half-priced app's they had another special. This special allowed you to purchase small plates or tapas ($2) if you ordered any margarita or sangria. The regular margaritas are huge, but I prefer their 579 margarita which has muddled jalapeno and cilantro. Delicous with a spicy kick! Items on the small plate list include: calamari, pizzas, salads, nachos, shrimp coctail and more. I ordered the nachos to go with my mexican theme. They were excellent and definitely enough for two.

Sat promptly when we arrived. Polite and friendly server. We sat in the main dining room which tends to be quieter than the bar seating. We enjoy both. Bob the manager also welcomes us and checks on our meals at every visit. He is pleasant and always eager and willing to help. Great customer service! Keeps us coming back!

We live around the corner so are regulars at 579. The food is always delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the ambience is upscale. We did order a burger medium rare that came out well done, but the waitress willingly sent it back to the kitchen, and it came out perfect the second time. The manager came over to apologize and offer us a free dessert. The nachos were huge and probably better for four to share than two. The cauliflower app is one of our favorites. The banana cream pie is one of the best we've ever had. We were happy to see how busy the place was after losing a lot of business during Covid.
