Excellent spot if you’re looking for a classy night out in Providence. Came here for the RI Food Fights burger competition, and their burger was by far the best tasting and was the best value, as you also got fries and a side of chicken nuggets. I also ordered a Brussels app, it was not what I expected and unlike most Brussels dishes that I’ve had, but it tasted great. The rest of their menu looked amazing as well. It’s definitely not cheap, but you will get what you pay for here. The pistachio martini was also delicious and unique. Bartender was friendly and conversational as well. It’s also in a great location right across from Trinity Rep so could make for a good pre-show meal. An excellent choice if you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just to splurge a little.

We had our wedding reception at Res, everything was absolutely amazing. The owner, Evan, and Caity, the event coordinator, were so accommodating. They helped us customize our menu to our liking, seating arrangements, and decor. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the space was, food was outstanding (the steak was to die for!), and the service was out of this world. They absolutely made our visions come to life and the day was so perfect, thanks to them!

Food was good although the burger was unimpressive. Not bad just unimpressive. Will def be back and order something else. The charcuterie and my wife’s scallops and risotto were excellent. The drinks were outstanding, 5 of 5. The service was also outstanding. The young woman who took cares of us did an excellent job. My only complaint about this place is that’s it TOO LOUD. Having loud music play while enjoying a meal just takes away from the dining. 2 thumbs down on loud music during dinner!

Awesome atmosphere and great service, good price, but the food wasn’t my favorite. Things just seemed too salty in a bit cooked for my taste. We got six appetizers – the tuna tartare, the scotch egg, the lamb, brussels sprout salad, burrata salad, and the halloumi, and some had a nice element but overall the flavors just weren’t that memorable. As I mentioned it was quite salty and the brussel sprouts were very tough to chew

Came with a large group for a birthday. Great service and food was spectacular. Had a variety of the apps: tuna tartar was especially good. Ocean Risotto was delicious! Pricey but good quantity & quality for the money.

I absolutely love this restaurant. The food here is amazing and they have unique spins on classics. Their pesto that was on the burrata was one of the best pestos I’ve ever had. The rangoons had a really great flavor. I will definitely be back to try more of the dishes.

First time dining in at Res american bistro. Great ambiance, delicious cocktail, very attentive server for our table, Justin, were our first impression of Res. We had Lobster Tempura, Lamb chops, Burrata salad, Flatbread as appetizer, and The grille’s filet as main dish. Our favorite dishes were lobster tempura and burrata salad with pistachio pesto. For the lamb chop, actually we liked roasted onion mostarda came out as a side better than the actual lamb. Chef Evan seems like talented and experimental on putting different cultural aspect together in each dish. We still have many other dishes we want to try here at Res, so definitely coming back. Event manager, Katie, was also very nice on explaining on details about event options at the 2nd floor when we had some questions. Highly recommend!
