    The food and service is always outstanding at the Providence Oyster Bar on Federal Hill. Steve and Adam are the best. It’s because of them we fight the traffic on the way to Providence from West Warwick. The Providence Oyster Bar in East Greenwich (sister store) is much closer to us but the experience is just not the same! See you guys soon.

    I always bring my parents here when they come to visit. We met Amira last night who was an absolute sweetheart. Even when we got home my mom and I were saying how great of a time we had and how nice it was to meet Amira. We can’t wait to go back, and look forward to seeing her again!!

    2 hours to eat. Little necks on half shell tasted spoiled. Seared Scallops were delicious. Drinks were alittle weak. Prices are too high.
