    We arrived 5" late and Table was waiting. Service was immediate and food arrived in reasonable time. Fresh bread was immediate and good. Chowder was great and my oysters were well cooked but fewer than expected. Companions swordfish was superb as were cocktails.

    I was disappointed with my entre. Baked halibut that was as dry as the Sahara. Nothing special with sides and presentation. The server was courteous, but was not very sharp. Couldn't remember which cappuccino was decaf. I will go again, as I believe the venue is generally pretty good.

    My husband and I dined August 26, 2023 at 4:45. Ricardo was our waiter and he was amazing. Food just as good. I had the swordfish (cooked perfectly) and my husband had the cod. My only gripe was the blood orange Cosmo Martini; which was on the weak side 🫤

    Wonderful service! Good food! Had the best New England clam Chowder after had it in 4 different places. The lobster roll has good chunks of lobster. Enjoyed the bottomless mimosa. The hostesses are very pleasant. Brook, our waitress, took very good care of. Will come back should we get to come back in the area.

    I have gone to the PYB on countless occasions and for many years, the Fed Hill one since this one is newer. Today, I decided to give the EG a shot and boy was I surprised and not in a pleasant way. My reservation was for 5 people at 3:30pm. I arrive, and ask to be sat outside and the four hostesses (yes four) tell me that’s impossible unless I want to add a chair at the end of their 4 people tables, but if I did that my food would not fit. I kindly asked if they could put two tables together as I’d rather sit outside. I was told no by all of them because they “were packed with reservations”. I looked outside to notice only two parties seating outside and 90% of the outdoor space taken. I complied with what I was advised and sat indoors, to receive not the best service from our waitress who seemed very sarcastic and unfriendly to us. The irony of all of this is that when we left we saw a larger party than ours that had two table together a as we requested and the rest of the outdoor area was empty. 🙃 I’ve spent thousands here over the years and was NOT pleased here.

    Their menu is seafood based, which for me is ok. They have Clam Chowder 3 ways! Manhattan, New England and Rhode Island. I really like the New England chowder here. It has a great consistency with the cream. I also had the Moules Frites - the mussels were fabulous in the garlic, herb, cream sauce. The fries were a disappointment. They tasted like they had been reheated or under a heat lamp for a long time. Had I not been a guest for dinner, I would have said something, but I didn't.... The waiter had a great sense of humor and was friendly and listened. The Blood Orange Cosmo was terrific!

    Food was excellent (I do t know whether the staff can take credit for the raw oysters but everything else was very good). Only downside was the noise level. At my age, the ambient noise level made it difficult to hear my dinner partners soft spoken voice. If that is a big concern, ask to be seated in the back room where you are isolated from the noise at the bar and main restaurant. There is also quite a bit of outdoor dining when the weather permits.

    From start to finish a lovely experience. The valet was polite and quickly handled taking the car. The staff at check in were friendly and we coming. We were shown to a very nice spot in the dining room. We were greeted with a choice of waters and then our server quickly appeared and answered all our questions and very knowledgeable. We had the mussels and raw oysters for apps and both were great…dinner choices were the lobster salad sandwich and cioppino - both delicious and the servings were plentiful. Dessert we split chocolate cake which was decadent and perfect for a sweet tooth craving to end a lovely meal. Will be back again

    we made a reservation for their "Appy Hour" and had oysters and wine outside on their deck. Service was v. good the only item we had to ask for was the bread/olive oil. Our waiter was vibrant and paid close attention to our choices. Ambiance was fine considering we were outside so you see the valet and traffic. Nothing to do about that better than an ugly parking lot. We will return for sure

    We've been to Providence Oyster Bar several times since they opened in East Greenwich as the food is quite good. However, this last visit was terribly disappointing. I made our dinner reservation (5:30 on a Saturday night) almost a week in advance. We were seated in the rear dining room in the midst of a private family dinner party/celebration. It was incredibly uncomfortable and so noisy and chaotic that we struggled to even have a conversation amongst ourselves. We did ask for a different table, but they were unable to make a switch to the main dining room. I'm sad to say, I don't think we will be returning nor recommending Providence Oyster Bar to our friends.

    Service was good, food was fair, lobster bisque was tasteless, fried oysters were fair but the portion was very small. The halibut was good but portion was small. Cesar salad was fair, but came with almost no dressing. The place itself is nice. I would say the 4 of us would rate the experience as fair.
