   The way this spot was hyped up in Boston Magazine made me excited to visit. Food was great but not in the type of atmosphere I expected. This place is more like a bistro than anything good. Kudos to the chef who’s savory, fusion spin on Haitian dishes were great! Though it’s a limited menu, I’ll be back! 🤣

   Had reservations for 2pm and 45 minutes later there was a glitch in the system. Another order was placed after waiting an additional 15 minutes to be told they ran out of food.

   Ate outside on the rooftop. fantastic view of newest walking bridge and prov. river.our Waitress (simmons college) was fantastic. Friendly, efficient, attentive while allowing us to eat and be with family. Both boys got chicken and waffles,which were delicious and huge servings. Husband got tarrimusu french toast which ' he said was really good,my steak and eggs were really good as well. only suggestion is to have bigger tables outside with all the food and drinks for four just not enough room, Oh yeah the bellini was delicious,

   Small menu but the food is good. My wife and I would go here again. It might not be the best for kids since the menu doesn't have usual things kids would eat.

   This was such a great experience. I loved the food, drinks and the my waitress Karla. The DJ played all the hits. If you want to do outside lunch you need to make it clear on the reservation. However, amazing time and I’ll be returning!

    Le cadre est magnifique. Le service impeccable bien que j’aie du attendre un bon moment avant d’accéder à ma table. Ce que j’aurais voulu savoir c’est qu’ une musique style club jouerait à fort volume pendant tout le temps ! C’était une ambiance plus club que resto, et cela a rendu la conversation difficile pour un déjeuner d’anniversaire intime. Heureusement sur le roof top on entendait légèrement moins. En revanche, les gens tournent autour pour se prendre en selfie avec la vue, donc beaucoup d’effervescence. J’espèrais une cuisine plus sophistiquée, le goût particulier du homard s’est noyé dans celui-ci de l’andouille dans ma jambalaya, et les boulettes sont un peu bourratives car elle manque de sauce. J’y retournerai sûrement après avoir téléphoné pour savoir si le DJ est là ou pas !

    The food selection and flavor was not impressive considering the pricing. The appetizer I got was very small and not described correctly. The drinks are okay but nothing to rave about and some of them are not appetizing. However, ambiance and location give this place potential and the waitresses were kind and attentive. I think they just need to fix and give life to their menu.

    It’s a magnificent view. However there are some kinks that need to be worked out. The poor server was by himself and had many customers inside and outside. So that slowed everything down. Drinks are absolutely delicious and worth the visit. The food menu doesn’t have many choices & seems more in line with a sports pub than a rooftop restaurant. I tried the food last time & it was only ok. This time my friends decided we should try somewhere else after the drinks. The table that the three of us were sat at is way too small for three. I suspect the smaller tables were when Covid restrictions were high. I think you’ll get more first timers if the menu is opened up maybe less fried and more grilled. A few more options anyways.

    $33 for a poor cut of steak that was almost well done after having asked for a medium rare. The only good part is the view. Not one of my friends liked our drinks.

    Made a reservation for 2 people at 7 on a Saturday. Called in ahead of time and asked if we could add one more to our table, was told over the phone that no, they could not, they are "overbooked". When we showed up, not only was the restaurant 75% empty, they sat us at a table with 4 chairs. Really couldn't accomodate one extra person?? The ambiance is really lacking here. It's very empty, no decorations and when we got there at 7 the lights were all the way up, made it feel like a cafeteria. Overpriced food with soggy french fries. Drink and waitress were nice! But this place is definitely a skip.

    An amazing gem in this thriving new neighborhood of Providence! Marriott's lifestyle brand of Aloft has nailed what it means to create a unique place to gather and re-connect with friends and family. We booked based on other reviews to host a small Birthday gathering. The sweeping views from the Roofbar of the downtown skyline were an impressive backdrop for our celebration. The service we received from Danny, our server, and Steve, Restaurant Manager, were impeccable. They were attentive, respectful, and best of all - fun! The food was excellent, and the signature Blu Violet Burger was on point, well seasoned, and who doesn't love candied bacon. Many thanks to the entire team for an amazing night out.

    Brunch is delicious. If you are looking for a chill ambience to talk, this is not it. They have a DJ spinning 90s hits and it can be loud. We had so much fun listening and eating. The view and terrace are beautiful.

    The restaurant itself was beautiful, because it is a rooftop with a 180 degree view of downtown. I made a reservation for 3 people. I then called to adjust the reservation to 4, which I was told they could not accommodate because they were at capacity. But when I went there, they sat us at the window, making conversation awkward between us, while there were over 5 tables totally empty. They remained empty during our 2 hour brunch. There was also an empty seat between us and the couple who sat there. Strange. There seemed to be no hustle with the staff to turnover and move it along. The food was good, but my girlfriend had dietary restrictions and asked for home fries, an avocado and eggs scrambled. The waiter told us the chef is not adjusting any meals on the menu and cannot add home-fries to the order… even though the kitchen has the ingredient clearly because it was on the menu. …??? We went out to the patio to finish our drinks, and it was a great view! But no seating. There was a DJ inside spinning bangers. But it was so loud I have a sore throat from talking to my friends. I was expecting more with rooftops being so rare in Providence. But they are seemingly trying to be exclusive and sought after while not getting the basics down. Really underwhelming for all the hype. Great cocktails, and service and view (once outside) But everything was really just ok

    We were anxious to try this place. It was lovely and casual inside. Drinks were good. Menu is very limited and not a lot of choices if you need to be gluten free. I had the shrimp and grits which were excellent. Burger sounded good but no gluten free buns and no gluten free crackers for the cheese board.
