My husband and I chose Hemenway’s to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have selected a better restaurant. Food was delicious, service provided by Zlata and our friend Brandi was TERRIFIC, and to be sitting by the window overlooking the river was the best!! Thanks for making our 47th so memorable! More

We had a great meal. We will return to try more dishes. I had the Shrimp Alla Gino was absolutely delicious...and I enjoyed the entertainment of it being cooked right in front of us. Two people had the Black Angus Sirlion it was cooked to their liking and very tender. One person had a Tuna steak special and said it was one of the best she has ever had. Service was well-timed and friendly. More

Second time there and will continue to go ! Great place for a high end meal before a show at the PPAC with free valet parking as a bonus. The apps, mains, service and of course the drinks were excellent. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for and well worth it ! More

Had a wonderful birthday celebration here. My daughters - who both studied in France - surprised me with the ceremonial Champagne Sabering to start. We were all charmed by the proprietor Bob Burke who performed the Sabering after giving us a nice history of the origins of champagne and of the tradition. We had an absolutely lovely and delicious classic French meal and intend to return many times! More

Everything was wonderful. The service was over the top incredible. It was my granddaughter’s 7th birthday and she asked to go out for “a fancy dinner”. The servers treated her like a princess. She was thrilled. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years now and they haven’t skipped a beat. The food was delicious and visually stunning as well. I can’t recommend this place enough. More

We ate at Providence Coal Fired Pizza before attending a show at PPAC with two teenagers so we were looking for a great pizza menu. We got it. We ordered a traditional marguerita and the baby bella. The girls were so impressed with the baby bella they kept stealing it! The pizzas were absolutely delicious. Great crust, the hint of coal flavor and the toppings were outrageously yummy. We all agreed it was a great experience before the show. My one suggestion- improve the dessert menu. We were ready to indulge in some dessert but mousse and pudding were not enticing. We were looking for ice cream, bread pudding or other decadent desserts. That would have elevated our experience for sure! More

Sunday Brunch - a very good, although modest selection of items, faithfully freshened and kept full - well done - More
OpenTable Diner -
There were two things that I wasn't crazy about - the noise level, hard to hear from husband from across the table. Also, the tables are pretty crammed in so there was hardly enough room to view the menu on the table. I knocked over my water glass with the menu when I was trying to read it. Could use a little more room at the tables! Otherwise, we loved it! More
OpenTable Diner -
Very good sushi. I highly recommend it!!!!!! More

Wonderful dinner, would definitely return! We really enjoyed the filet and the short rib special. The oysters were delicious too. Was a surprise to learn many bottles of wine are offered 50% off on Thursdays, so that was a bonus! More
OpenTable Diner -
We arrived at 9.15pm and Kleos was still lively and welcoming. Our table by the window allowed us to watch the street life outside - kinda cool. Our server was outstanding - kind, charming and helpful. The food (mixed appetizers and mains) were excellent. The recommended wine was also great. The bill for four with wine and cocktails was $280 with tip. Reasonable for above-average food. More
OpenTable Diner -
Overall the food was very good and I enjoyed the waiters suggestion for wine. I was really happy with the sea bass it might have been better with more grill marks. All of the veggie sides were good. I liked the earthy taste of the asparagus and the rainbow carrots were perfectly roasted. The service was great but it was almost too much having a waiter that greeted us and took drink orders, a waiter that served water, a waiter that took our order and a waiter that dropped off food and asked how everything was. Overall nice experience and convenient location at the Omni. More

Quiet night at Bravo because the theatre was closed, but dinner was relaxing and very good. Staff was attentive and friendly. Great ambiance. Would definitely go back! More

We haven't been in a while due to the weather. We are quite a bit more frequent in the summer to take advantage of sitting outside. The food was so yummy. Best baba and grape leaves since my late mother used to make. Service was great! More

Atmosphere was great, loved the blue color and the class of the restaurant. Waiter was so great, and the food was fresh and cooked to perfection- oh it tasted amazing too. The drinks were not watered down - strong just how I like them ! Will definitely be back soon. Would recommend More
OpenTable Diner -
Birthday dinner for two colleagues. Loved our table - round, in a corner which facilitated easier conversation. Food was delicious, but especially the fried pickles which were only lightly breaded (perfection). Also loved the art on the wall. More
OpenTable Diner -
Service was very good. We had a specialty pizza and salad which was good. Ordered the salad as an appetizer for myself and it was huge. Split it with my wife. Great value. Owner stopped by and introduced himself. Ambiance was limited as it is in a new strip mall building, but not an issue. Would recommend this restaurant to friends and family More
OpenTable Diner -
The food was delicious and well prepared. Our one down side was the lack of variety in the extensive beer list. If you like IPAs and pale ales, this is the place for you. If you like a brown or red ale, find another place to go. More

My sisters and I had a wonderful birthday celebration. We enjoyed meeting Chris and seeing the murals. The experience was delightful and we look forward to going again soon. Thank you. More

Wait staff were very flexible with allowing us to move our seating. Moscow Mule was served in a tall glass as opposed to a copper mug. Tasted a bit like lime, but still very delicious. The live music was nice. I was anticipating Greek music. The music tended to sound the same "atmosphere" music, nothing ethnic about the music. Still enjoyable. Cheese and meat plate for the two of us was adequate (smaller size). Dinner was a form of Beef Stew over Orzo. Delicious and would be perfect for a cold winter night. More

It’s a great place for a gourmet burger and beer. Nice atmosphere and friendly service More

I have been patronizing The Fire for a long, long time. The staff is terrific! They perform their jobs with efficiently and personality. I always feel very comfortable at The Fire whether it is for a quick bite at the bar or dining at a table with friends. For example, my Family and I have attended the "Feast of the Seven Fishes" the last 3 Christmas Eves. It was most enjoyable. Although the food offerings are delicious, I am looking forward to a seasonal change in the menu, especially the seafood offerings for summer Also, I am disappointed that the restaurant doesn't serve lunch at least 2 days during the week. Nonetheless, The Fire is the place to go. Consistent good food, especially the pizzas, great bar specials every afternoon, friendly staff, and pleasant surroundings. More

The service was excellent: seated right away and the host let us pick our table. The waitress was fast and efficient, the food was hot and delicious and we loved the Mongolian beef dumplings. The boys stated as we were leaving, "this is our new favorite Chinese restaurant!" We will go back. More

Really good food and awesome service. Very nice people More
OpenTable Diner -
Every thing was great except for the fact the waitress messed up my husband's order. It took an additional 15 minutes for his food to come out after the rest of the tables. Which made my husband upset. I would have liked to see a manager come over and compensate something for it. That would have made the night 10 out 10. Instead I would say 6 out 10. More

Sat a high table in the bar area at the window which is always a good spot to sit. Drinks were a bit pricey for the size of the pour. Food was excellent. Wonderful blend of flavors! Chicken, beef, and mushrooms were extremely tasty! Best kimchi I've ever tasted. Portions are tapas size so don't expect a gluttonous event. Will be returning! More

They brought out a cake for my parents’ wedding anniversary and champagne for a toast. Very nice touch. More

First time there, and point blank the food wasn’t very good flavor wise...let’s say bland for the most part. My husband and I went on a date there and we started off with the cauliflower bites as an appetizer (which were great! The only thing other than the fries though) then we had our entrees. I had the ginger noodle bowl, which to be honest I took a gamble on because I didn’t know what to expect. My husband got one of the burgers there and fries. The biggest complaint I have of that entire visit was that we asked for the burger to be cooked medium because we love pink in our burger, but the burger was cooked very well done. You can tell the difference in taste between a well done burger and a burger cooked medium, as well as the color in the middle. We ate it though, Tipped very well and I’m not planning on going back again. Who knows how that restaurant has stayed open but I will surely divert my friends from going there. It reminded me of a trendy looking Greg’s restaurant. More

Discover Providence
Long known for its classic New England seafood, Providence has also recently garnered a reputation for fine contemporary dining options. As a college town, it offers an abundance of laid-back, reasonably priced restaurants. But because the Johnson and Wales University campus is home to a well-respected culinary arts program, the town has become a popular proving ground for up-and-coming chefs. Even Providence's college students know and expect good food, which keeps the standards in this waterside city exceptionally high. The food options have also been heavily influenced by the city's proximity to Boston and New York. That means a lot of hearty, locally sourced dishes and ample pizza options. Providence's palate is also quite sophisticated, with restaurants serving up everything including French, Swiss, Italian and even vegan cuisine.
