First timer to this Providence riverwalk gem. We’re a party of 3 that included a child, made reservations on Thurs for 6:00pm. No problem being sat inside, although, we could’ve sat outside as well. It’s a small but, trendy restaurant with a long bar and inspirational quotes adorning the walls. Enjoyed their Hummus and pita appetizer. We were asked if we’d like more pita bread but, weren’t told we would be charged for it. We also tried the Lamb burger, Falafel sandwich, and cheese burger, all paired with fries. Both service and food were fantastic. Although, double check your bill. We were accidentally charged for a BYOBurger. The manager was kind enough to refund the difference to our CC. All in all, we had a great dining experience and we’ll return to try the brunch menu in the near future.

Beautiful restaurant on the river that heralds Waterfire in Providence. You HAVE to try the egg rolls from the apps menu. And the Seared scallops were mouth-watering! The steak frite with Papa fritas and arugula salad rounded out our perfect dinner date. But what made everything above and beyond was our waitress Rachel. We thought we lost our keys and she was interrogating the kitchen staff but we found them and we’ll use them to come back soon to this gem of a date spot.

Food was great and location was nice with outdoor dining right on the river. I had the chicken and waffles, they were delicious! I’m not a fan of spicy food, so the sriracha sauce on them was just enough to add flavor without being too hot. Good selection of drinks, too. Loved getting to watch people walk by and gondolas float down the river while we ate. Would recommend!

Food is pretty good. The waffle bites with all the toppings were awesome! Fun brunch drinks. Great views right on the water. This place is fun. Don’t let the poor reviews discourage you!

The food was cheap & tasted like it. Overall, it tasted like something I could have done better myself at least for the French Toast. There was not an evident cinnamon flavor despite that being listed as on the menu. My friend thought the omelette was okay, and was only willing to finish it because it was almost one and her first meal of the day. The bacon was overly greasy. The potatoes were done well & well seasoned, but nothing special. The service was as bad as the food. We got seated quickly, and our order was taken fairly fast. However, it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. It came out without the side of bacon at first too. The omelette came out without the appropriate sauce. Overall, we had to ask for everything we needed including more water, etc. – would not come back.

I can’t give a full honest review because we ended up having light apps and wine. The service was very good. It was a little hard to find the entrance.. there isn’t a sign on the street. The inside is small but cute. I will be back for a full meal.

Fantastic location on the river, with great atmosphere, the food is above average but overpriced. Entrees a small, the size of single serving appetizers in some cases. Great for a casual drink but not if you are hungry.

I don’t really understand the negative reviews for this place. I came here a while ago and I had a great experience; the food was nice, the staff was friendly, and the place was clean and has modern deco. The water view was awesome. Please give it a try!

My husband and I came here for dinner. I got a spicy margarita, and I’ve been dying to go back for another. I had a Ceasar Salad, which was yummy too. Such a cute little place tucked away!

Totally forgot this spot was here because it’s on the canal and it’s clearly not visible, but I was waiting for the commuter rail which is just around the corner. Small, quant, and very good. Small space so I sat at the bar because it was busy and I didn’t want to take up a table by myself while groups were waiting. Bartender made a mean bloody Mary and offered just enough attention. The breakfast was very good. The decor just felt right for brunch with lots of natural light. Outside patio was key. Really liked this place.
