    Was not aware breakfast was limited to breakfast buffet. Would have preferred ordering breakfast off menu. The buffet was very well done, but everything was cold. That is the problem with most breakfast buffets. Would recommend to friends, but not for the breakfast buffet.

    Went here with my boyfriend and his grandmother. We accidentally came in the back entrance and it's a very confusing place to walk into.... Overall nothing to write home about and a lil expensive. The fruit flies are CRAZY. Scratch that: had an allergic reaction to something in my salad. I assume the walnuts were not properly removed from the salad :/

    I had the mini wellies, delicious. My husband had the meatloaf. I tried it and it’s different and very tasty. My son had the mac and cheese and he added lobster. He was a little disappointed with the amount of lobster added but ate every bite. I thought the prices were good. Service was great. Will definitely go back! Side note; if you love chocolate chip cookies, I highly recommend!

    Our dinners were exceptional in every way, starting with the apple/spinach salad and reasonable priced wine. The halibut Italiano, made with fresh vegetables and tomatoes was about as good as it gets. My partner’s spinach ravioli was truly stuffed with spinach and reminded us both of the home made ravioli we grew up with in our Italian families❤️ Our server was perfect, she and all the staff we came in contact with seemed to appreciate that we were enjoying the food and the experience. We had a great time, we will be back again & again.

    The service was awful, it took 15 minutes to get our drinks, one of us ordered the restaurant week special. It came with an appetizer, the appetizer, and a meal came out at the same time that’s unacceptable. The place was loaded with bugs on the table in the windows, I would never come back

    Restaurant advertised Breakfast and Brunch but was told only Brunch. We stayed. The Brunch food was the Worst I ever had. French Toast under cooked and cold. Waffles cold hard as a Rock, Bacon almost raw not cooked. Was not worth $20.00 plus should have included coffee. RI Health Dept should be notified. Food not at a proper temperature. As a member and President of a number of organizations in No Providence and RI I will inform them Not to eat at Tumblesalts. Also I got very sick. Food

    We were delighted with our visit to Tumblesalts! The restaurant was amazing! There’s definitely something there for everyone. We had an amazing meal while being entertained by a very talented musician. Our server, Amara, (hope I’m spelling her name correctly) was wonderful and extremely attentive to our needs. She even gave us a little tour of the place afterwards, (thanks Amara!). We would definitely recommend this restaurant and are already planning our next visit.

    Had reservations at 11am. Expected a possible wait being Mothers Day. Stood in line (outside) for about 20 minutes with no indication from staff what was taking so long. Was taken to our table to learn that a buffet was our only option for food which was not indicated anywhere on their website. Was seated so close to the buffet that we had to move chairs to the end of the table so that the person seated wasn’t bumped into every time someone went to the buffet. Was not greeted by a waiter for about 10-15 minutes - we finally gave up and went and made a plate. Waiter came and took drink order - only to come back and tell us that hot tea wasn’t an option since there was no hot water?!?!? Food wasn’t remarkable and the buffet was quite small….esp when we got the bill and it was $31.95 a person! We did come to find out that they had kitchen staff issue the day before but given that Sunday was Mothers Day maybe they should have contacted the people with reservations to let them know about the issues.

    Never going back to Tumblesalts. It was a complete disaster and way overpriced. We were put into the Calypso Room where the reservation was made for a hi-top table. There were 50 people in this small room with one waitress who knew absolutely nothing about what was going on. We sat for 1/2 hour and she did not approach our table. She was taking only drink orders and it took her almost an hour to get to our table. No one was available to say if we could go up to the buffet. When we asked her she said she knew nothing and was just there to take the drink orders. We got up to go to this pathetic brunch at a cost of $32.95 where everything was ice cold and no dishes. We waited and they brought out wet dishes. I took the table cloth and wiped it dry. Then one of the managers decided to wipe them. In all there were four breakfast dishes and six lunch items. Trays were empty and no one to be seen to refill. Told the waitress twice that the food was ice cold. She said she would tell the manager but I don’t think she did. A very very poor excuse for a restaurant and you cannot bring up anything about them online as they do not have a secured site. While waiting for someone to check us in I saw a Mother’s Day brunch menu on the podium and it stated $15.95 per person. They never passed those out and then had the gall to charged us $32.95 per person and a three per cent charge by paying by credit card. Beware stay away from this place.

    I do not like to leave a bad review!!!! I have been here before and had a great experience. Last night was horrible!!!!! It took over 45 mins to get our food. The food was awful. The steak was dry. They just lost there chefs and I was trying to be very understanding but it was upset after upset. How do you run out of food items that are a special at 6:30!!!!

    Made a reservation online and went there to check in and I said my name and party of 4 and the gentleman at the front looked at us as if we didn’t belong there and made a snarky comment. When we were seated there was plenty of open seats and the service was not that good.

    Great food, very nice wait staff, quiet, good for conversation . I did think that the $14 expresso martini was a bit underwhelming and the choice for a dessert was only a cookie or brownie. Otherwise though, I would definitely recommend.

    Cold eggs, only buffet when there was no indication that it would be buffet only on the website when we made reservations a month in advance. They were not ready for our table and had no food prepared when we arrived. We had to wait over 20 minutes until food came out and in the meantime, no coffee was offered. When we tried to get up the waiter asked us to just wait a few more minutes, they would have everything brought out fresh. My daughter was disappointed because she was looking forward to ordering off the menu, but the waiter told us they don’t have that available yet? So is it only buffet all the time? That was never made clear to us, but they definitely need to up their game on the website and communications with customers. The food was decent (except for the eggs), which made up for some of the confusion, but overall it was not a great experience. I would not recommend it to my friends as I was embarrassed that I invited family members there for my daughter’s confirmation celebration and it was not as expected. Read the reviews afterward and see that this place has had issues for years. I can see if it was just starting out, but this place is established and there should be no excuses at this point.

    What a GREAT experience we had last night. There were 8 of us who ate salads, chicken Marsala and the great meatloaf. The fried calamari and hummus appetizers were very good. One of the unanticipated highlights was the entertainment provided while we dined. Give it a try!
