This was my first time visiting the restaurant and everything we ordered was full of flavor. Looking forward to coming back and ordering a different dish. The pineapple upside down cake was warm and melted in my mouth.

About the restaurant

10 Prime Steak & Sushi is where East meets West in Providence, Rhode Island!

Guests can enjoy the ultimate dining experience among the backdrop of a cobalt blue, romantic, sexy setting visually landscaped with art that stimulates the senses. 10’s atmosphere becomes fun and lively with bubbles showering over our busy bar where the happy hour crowd sips on our signature cocktails and a Latin sound plays throughout the restaurant.

Voted Rhode Island’s best steakhouse, at 10 Prime, our signature prime sirloin steaks are hand cut from the finest corn-fed Midwestern beef. We age them 5 – 6 weeks, giving us the most flavorful, juicy, delicious steaks.

Developed as a restaurant for the 21st Century, our steaks are complimented by Rhode Island’s best sushi. 10 offers a full sushi menu featuring nigiri and sashimi, and 15 designer rolls, including the Signature Roll 10: Maine lobster, smoked salmon, asparagus, avocado, and caviar.

Cocktail Bar

Providence

About the restaurant

An inviting craft cocktail bar and restaurant offering classics, originals, inspired & familiar flavors. We sip, we savor, and we share.

The inspiration for Needle and Thread came from the history of the space located at 45 Peck St. in Downtown Providence. For more than half a century Antonio Conte dutifully served the professionals in the city's center, with an old world style haberdashery, providing suits, outerwear and evening attire. For more than 2 years Needle and Thread was constructed piece by piece with the same attention to detail and love as Mr. Conte poured into every garment he constructed.

Excellent cocktails and food. Felt a little rushed, entrees came out 5 minutes after apps, but not a huge deal. Cool place, will return.
