    Found this restaurant by friend’s recommendation. Impressed with five star services from valet parking to food presentations. Exquisite work of art on each plate of food was very impressive. All the waiters we encountered were very attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend to friends and families. Thanks for excellent services.

    My wife and I had been told by a friend it was the best dinner he had ever had. We decided to give it a try as we do enjoy a nice dinner and eat out often. We were blown away by the impeccable service at all levels. The food came out at perfect intervals as it was a tasting menu. I usually leave this type of meal hungry but not the case here. Plenty of tastings, all very different, with the highlight being on the front end, the back end (desserts) and in the middle...the main course. All dishes were creative, and delicious. The presentation was very cool as well. You were made to feel important, but not over the top...BS. The real star though was the quality and taste of the food. We could not have been more pleased. No doubt it was pricey, but it was a very special experience!!

    Not much more to say…simply hands down the best dining experience in LA. Went two days into a renovated look and the restaurant hummed like it always has. It looked incredible and the food and service were incredible. This is the perfect example of what being great in the dining business is all about.

    Wow! This place was amazing from start to finish! Got the table side Mezcal “Last” Word which was phenomenal not only in presentation but also in taste. Each course of the tasting menu got better as the meal progressed. The Lamb stole the show but the Salmon was also very good. The root vegetable purée salsify that comes with the salmon may have been our single favorite bite! I’m a big Whiskey/Bourbon fan and the offerings they had were fantastic! Pappy Van Winkle what?!!! I had an Old Fashion with Kentucky Owl and it was mind blowing. But, the real star of the show was the staff. They were a delight. I like to throw out funny movie quotes and they got them all without skipping a beat. They were attentive but not overly so. 2 Michelin Stars but they don’t take themselves too seriously, not snobbish or smug about it. It was pricey but we felt like we absolutely got what we paid for, maybe more so. Highly recommend.

    Honestly, in LA we have the luxury to experience amazing food from all over the world. I can truly say that the food was not worth the money I spent. The items that we had to pay extra for were probably the best courses, which I find very deceiving. There are much better places to try. (I really recommend Manzke, which is the same price, but the food is utterly amazing.) Risotto was undercooked and what I believe was still raw. The other courses just didn't really excite me. You paid $40 extra for A5 which is definitely a dish you could never go wrong with. The vibe in the restaurant was not what I expected. No decor and plain.

    This was our second visit to Providence, and it was every bit as wonderful as our first. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and they made the experience entirely magical. Every single course was delicious and beautifully prepared; I believe that some of the food that entered my mouth for some of the best tastes I have ever experienced in my life. The service was top-notch, and we left not only with a menu specially printed for my husband’s birthday, but some homemade granola for breakfast the next day. The ambiance was lovely and the noise level was great. I would return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend it!

    The food was as expected: quality ingredients, delicious and flavorful without being overly seasoned or salted, beautifully presented, and arrived to the table at a nice pace. Service was top notch, attentive without hovering, and pleasant and not pretentious. I would highly recommend it to any seafood lover. And you can certainly order the extras, e.g. uni egg or truffle risotto, without feeling overly stuffed.

    The food and service at Providence was fabulous. A true Michelin dining experience. The flavor combinations, freshness and quality of ingredients and efforts to go above and beyond were all obvious. The handmade pasta was perfectly aldente, the Uni wasn’t briny in the slightest and the service was warm and caring. We truly enjoyed everything about the evening.
