    My second experience at Providence was exceptional! We started with beautiful cocktails at the bar before starting our dining experience. We added a few supplemental seasonal items to the dinner menu (hello truffle season!) + added the premium wine pairings. The pace of service was excellent, and the entire team worked together seamlessly to create a smooth & professional but thoughtfully engaging atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed each bite & course- the presentations were beautiful, the seasoning was balanced & the artful combinations showcased the superb quality of the ingredients. The premium wine pairings were thoughtfully put together, & our somm had a fun & engaging personality. The whole team was top notch, & made our birthday celebration truly special. They sent us home with delicious granola & personalized menus. Providence sets the bar for fine dining in LA

    Wonderful dining experience. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, making our evening one to remember. I personally think the magic is in the fact that you could dine at Providence for a date night or a special occasion and both would be equally spectacular. Thank you to the Providence team for a lovely time. Can’t wait to go back!

    As a fine dining restaurant, it is perfect. Everything is in very professional. But as a sea food restaurant with two Michelin stars, I am not satisfied with the balance and creativity, which means that it is not memorable enough. The starter is better than the main course. Desserts stand out, but the worst is still the main course and the extra order when they compare with the other dishes. sauce is very good, but a very ordinary flavor combination. Many thanks to the team for taking care of me. Maybe it just set over expect but It's subjective.

    A true fine dining venue, hard to find outside Europe. The building has been remodeled so that there are no longer areas of less desirable seating. Service is of the highest level with a team of servers for you, each of whom knows exactly what your preferences are and where you are in your meal, they are personable and engaged in providing you with a more than satisfying experience. Cocktails, wine and most of all food service and quality were exceptional. High level of creativity and most important success - that is - the food reflects not only a good creative idea but it also tastes good. I wish it were not so expensive, but that is the way of the world. Providence has risen above its previous high standards.

    Oh! This restaurant is officially my most favorite in Los Angeles! I went there to celebrate mine and my husband’s birthday, and this was such a great experience, starting from food being absolutely outstanding, through a very low level of noise, which is hard to find in this city, and ending on very professional, extremely kind, intelligent and knowledgeable service! It was not only food…. We had so much fun talking with the staff!!! And the interior….. We need to come back.

    Dining as a party of 1, I was made to feel instantly welcome and absorbed when sitting at the bar, with the exceptionally attentive crew rotating around delivering drinks and courses seamlessly. The food was oustanding, excellently balanced, with the wine pairings superbly curated. My favourite course was the first, a wonderful potato dish with Caviar that had such excellent depth of potato flavour, along with the salinity from the caviar, all paired wonderfully with a velvety Californian sparkling wine. A close second would easily be the Fresh white truffle over Pasta from an absolute behemouth of a truffle.

The meal was exquisite, starting with the highest quality ingredients brought to their full potential by the talented kitchen team. The interwoven flavors and textures of each dish, along with a few surprises demonstrated why Providence is the best restaurant in Los Angeles and a world class dining destination.

    We went for our 25th anniversary. I had not been in at least 15 years since an agency took me there. My husband has been wanting to go for years. I made a res about 2 months in advance, noting that I'm a vegetarian and my hubs is a pescatarian. They accommodated both of us with custom menus saying Happy 25th Anniversary on top of it and they presented the menus in a clear plastic sleeve as a nice keepsake. Service is impeccable. The ambiance is chill and quiet. It is SO NICE to be in a restaurant without all of the loud voices of people talking and laughing. Everything was perfect - the cocktails, the amuse-bouche, the wine, the bread (the bread was to die for), every course (beautiful presentation and of course the taste is out of this world), the desserts and bonus dessert, which we took home because I could not eat another bite. Can't wait to go back for the next special occasion and certainly don't want to wait 15 years or more to go again.
