    Great dining experience on the east providence river. Staff is excellent and very knowledgeable on the menu items. It was a nice paced meal. Thought originally that the menu was limited but everyone in our party of six found something they enjoyed. Food is top notch. Would love to go again and sit outside on a nice day/evening.

    Went here for Mother’s Day brunch, and it was my first time going. I cannot say enough great things about the food, staff and the atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back. Stand out meals were the eggs Benedict and the hanger steak. I also ordered a bloody orange mimosa, which was awesome! Their coffee is really good too. The French press was a great touch!

    Our waitress Chelsie was very slow getting to our table, over 10 minutes. Drinks and food also took a long time coming out and it was not crowded at 10:45 am. Great food and selection.
