Top 3-5 meals I've ever had in my life. Food was spectacular, service was also very good. Definitely was the most expensive meal I've paid for but I would say the experience was worth the cost. Every dish was delicious!

The food and service was on par or better than every Michelin rated restaurant we have been to, however the NaCL content in the dishes was a point of contention between us two diners. While providence clearly earns its two stars, do not come here for its wine pairing as the wine served on the “premium” menu is underaged and required more than 5 to ten years a bottle more of aging before service in a Michelin rated restaurant.

The wine pairing alone knocked my review out of the 5 star range, however the cocktails(sazerac table side) , ambiance, food, presentation, plating, and service saved the dining experience to reinforce providence as one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles.

Well deserved of its two Michelin stars, the food and service was exemplary from the moment we stepped in the restaurant. The staff are unbelievable, the bar tender makes the finest dry Martini my wife has ever had and the food is simply sublime from start to finish. We tried both the duck and Wagyu "main" courses and they were out of this World. Definitely deserves its spot on the highest of all dining experiences in Los Angeles.

Wonderful service and delicious food. Great for a special occasion

Dinner is always perfect at Providence, but for some reason (perhaps because it has been so long since we've had a fine meal in a wonderful restaurant) it was especially perfect. Everything was on point and we were enchanted from the moment we walked in the door. We were celebrating our daughter's graduation from college and we loved every moment of our magnificent meal.

The food was amazing, the cocktails were phenomenal, and the staff was warm and friendly.

It was wonderful!

Super

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Providence is my absolute favourite: food, service and atmosphere are exceptionally top notch. It's *the* restaurant I think about when asked, "where do you want to go" or "where do you recommend." So to celebrate a special occasion, we chose Providence for our first dinner *inside* a restaurant since COVID. There's only one tasting menu they're serving at this time: the eight-course (+ multiple amuse bouche and a post dinner sweets), Chef's Tasting. As usual, Providence is hard to get into on weekends, as they're often booked two months out. And with limited dining capacity (current COVID tier mandates a max of 50% capacity indoors), getting your preferred date becomes harder. As we entered, to our surprise, we were lead to the Chef's Table. Pre-COVID, the only way to reserve this table was to have a 4-person tasting menu and even then, it wasn't guaranteed. So as we were shown the table, I cried; I was just overwhelmed. It's so nice to be moving forward to some semblance of pre-COVID. The dinner started with a trio of amuse bouche and then with an additional off-menu starter. Providence is a seafood-focused restaurant; I absolutely LOVE the Japanese aesthetic to preparation and presentation. Everything was phenomenal, delicious and meticulously prepared. We also added an uni egg which was delightfully umami-filled; at once, delicately earthy and perfectly briny. The dessert was both bright and palate-cleansing; dinner was finished with additional chocolates served four ways. And as usual, they provided a gift bag of next-day breakfast sweets. We've been dining at Providence for a dozen years and it was wonderful to chat w Mr Poto; hopefully, they will remain busy and remain a staple of the LA dining scene for many years to come. Always a memorable evening.

The new tasting menu was excellent! Worth coming back for again and again!

We celebrated our anniversary at Providence. It was nice to be able to dine in after not going out for over a year. The food and service were spectacular just as we remembered it. This was our third time at Providence.

Excellent as usual

This is obviously a well deserved 2 star Michelin restaurant, which is worth every dime. the food and service was excellent.

Each course was exquisite. The dining room was beautiful. The servers were numerous (mixed impression) but our “main guy” was well informed and quite personable. Overall, a beautiful and memorable evening.

Some of the best seafood I’ve ever eaten. Very highly recommended.

Phenomenal food, even better service, beautiful ambiance. Overall exquisite, I will be coming back.

Great to share in the love for food and experience that energized the team

One of the best meals we've ever had - outstanding staff, gorgeous plating and phenomenal flavors, we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Best dining experience I have every had! They exceeded all expectations. Thank you Cimarusti and the team at Providence for such an amazing night

Food is outstanding. Highly priced menu choices. Not what it used to be.

Sooo amazing. Absolutely fantastic cuisine and super friendly service. Ultimate special occasion restaurant!

This was not a meal but an experience in sublime flavors and art on a plate. It is almost indescribable in the subtlety of flavors, textures and the progression of presentation. The food is both beautifully presented and balanced with the food always the focus without sacrifice for presentation or over killing in flavors for the sake unnecessary grandiosity. We celebrated a birthday and the service of presenting a menu with his name on it was a surprise and a delight!

All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you to the staff of Providence who made the evening a most memorable night.

Oh my goodness!!!!!!

Fantastic restaurant
The service and food were perfect

Our finest dining experience in Los Angeles. Excellent service, innovative and exquisitely presented cuisine, amazing wine pairings. When leaving, they call the valet and your car is already waiting for you! A very pleasant and elevated dining experience.

Providence was excellent, per usual.

We have been coming here for many years, including the chef’s table, which we have spent many special occasions. The food, especially the starters, are outstanding. In fact everything through and including the main meal (wagyu and salmon) with the chefs choice menu was outstanding. 10/10. This alone is a reason to be here.

Truly.

Wine pairing was very good. Desert fell short with just a lot of chocolate , with the restaurant eliminating the elegant cheese board and the many unique cheeses that would be customary at the end of the meal. A less sweet option would have been nice.

Overall it was amazing!

15 artistic, exquisite, and delicious courses.

Great experience. Love the restaurant!

Incredible. Beyond compare.

We celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday and they printed a menu with my mom’s name on it which was a nice touch. Service was as exquisite as the food. I highly recommend it.

Wonder experience each time I have gone here. I just wish the patrons would dress a little nicer. White tablecloths mean you keep the pink flamingo printed short-sleeve shirt at home.

Food is fantastic, service is impeccable, and ambiance is alluring. Definitely a top 5 restaurant for LA, if not top 3.

Outstanding

Enjoy it every time. Definitely I would recommend to friends

Great experience and particular thanks to Donato Poto for the nice time .
Will be back

My wife and I had been looking forward to a night out since moving to the west coast because of covid last June. This was exactly what we had been hoping for, excellent service, great ambiance and exquisite one of a kind cuisine. Our experience was absolutely perfect and we will definitely be back!

The ultimate, intimate dining experience. Exquisite cuisine and service.

Great food and service

Everything was amazing

Wonderful to see the restaurant open and offer indoor dining. Hasn’t missed a step!
