Michael Cimarusti's ode to seafood-centric fine dining has gotten a much needed revamp, with a nautical theme to reinforce the kind of preparations happening on the plate. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Everything. The atmosphere, great for dates but also for a single person splurging on dinner , beautiful setting and incredible food.

CITY GRIT

Hands down one of the best meals we had in LA. Michelin stars are well-deserved! Get the tasting with the wine pairings !

Sam Alon

I tried the 9-course tasting menu and it was divine. All dishes had amazing combinations of flavors. The strawberry white chocolate pistachio rose water dessert was the best dessert I have ever had

UTTER PERFECTION. Providence was my first tasting menu and wine pairing experience and it will forever have my heart. It took food to a whole 'another level, and I haven't looked back since

Alicia Kosasih

One of LA's high-end dining. If you love seafood then you'll nicely pamper yourself here. I love how light some dishes are in terms of flavor profile, but none of them disappoints!

Epicurious

Couples celebrating special occasions and large groups love the three-, five-, and eight-course dessert tastings paired with wine . Read more

There's down-home "chowda," lobsters from Maine, coho salmon from the Olympic peninsula, and a smattering of exotics , like ikura , uni, and razor clams . Read more

Vincent Tan

One of the most exquisite dining experience. Excellent service and food is awesome. Highly recommended

eric bornemann

Some of the best seafood in LA - be sure to have the Santa Barbara spot prawns cooked in salt if they are offered.

Vicki Hong

Try the seaweed bread and the bacon roll when they come around with the basket. You can't go wrong with anything here because all the food is scrumptious. The lobster crepe appetizer is a MUST.

Los Angeles magazine

Voted Best Chef's Table , August 2010 -Spot prawns arrive freshly broiled, their flavor heightened by toasted rosemary ; a smidge of jalapeño-soy gelée drapes the kanpachi, lending a piquant contrast... Read more

Chef 's tasting menu is delicious. The wine pairing is no joke. Make sure you have a driver and wear stretchy clothes because you'll be really full and a little drunk. Ok, a lot drunk.

Fran Su

Prefix only. Fresh ingredients , layered flavors & textures, a fascination with salt. Unfortunately, sometimes the saltiness overwhelmed the delicate flavor of seafood . Given the price, expected more

Simply amazing. Friendly/helpful staff and you can't go wrong with the 3 course meal menu. Everything was wonderful. My taste buds are in heaven!

Awesome place, great pre fix menu but very expensive . Special night out place.. They also have a table in the kitchen that is fun.

Krishna

New York Strip was inSANE. Big Eye app and John Dory app were also excellent - just a great dining experience..

The Feast

It might surprise people to learn that the menu is fairly diverse with steaks and veggie dishes , though Providence is best known for their seafood offerings.

LogoTV

If you REALLY want to treat yourself! Holy hell to the Foie Gras Raviloi - Incredible! The Prime New York steak and the duck breast are scrumptious! Great wine list – Gloria, The Arrangement

Joy

We did the tasting menu . Our fav was the scallop , but the halibut was really salty tonight. Interesting cheese selection . The late harvest 2006 Rosenhof Welschriesling was beautiful.

LA Home & Style

Known as the best seafood restaurant in the city but save room for the inventive desserts .

Sam Reich

Providence has four tasting menus . The most expensive is, deceptively, the shortest, with the highest quality dishes. It is also the least gut-busting.

The spicy leaf "tortilla " nasturtium taco is a great way to start your meal here.

David Sarno

Once a year splurgefest, get the tasting menu , block off 4 hours, bring your favorite people. It's unbeatable as a fine dining experience.

Charles Edge

If you have time, try the tasting menu . Otherwise, you can never ever go wrong getting salmon here!

Epicurious

Both the decor and the menu at this restaurant leave the diners feeling like they are under the sea. Fish is expertly cooked with French, Italian, Spanish and Asian influences to excite the tastebuds.

Pyjamas

Food was great and the price was fair but the service was horrendous! Slow and inattentive. Not sure if it's because we're Asians or that we chose not to order their 1996 Du Cru.
