You know a place is good when you come back twice within a 3 day getaway. Service and food is amazing. Ask for their number 1 seller, the lobster cooked Fisherman wharf style.
We thought this was just a yuppie place Not so. The swordfish is moist and savory in every bite the stuffed shrimp delectable if you are like us and haven't been here. You must it's excellent
I love this place we didn't go for years thought it was too yuppie then went on a Sunday and enjoyed our meal wine special so much now it's a tradition. Oh and they have the best stuffed shrimp ever
Yeah bacon-wrapped figs are fantastic — just one part of the amazing antipasto plate!

Best and most authentic seafood in Providence , RI... got 3 recommendations to go there and it was superb! Try the fresh oyster bar !
Great lunch deals and menu during Restaurant week. Hipsters sit directly at the oyster bar .
Come on Monday, sit at in the bar / high top tables and enjoy half off all raw bar ! Best deal in town !
Lobster and fresh oysters are great. Don't get swordfish - it's overcooked and damaged with too much butter sauce . And it's ridiculously priced!
I had the paella and it was awesome. Superb service and atmosphere.

Food is great but the service wasn't a sunny as other reviews let on. Maybe because we had a later reservation on a Sat night? Not sure...
The clam chowder (chowdah if you're a native) here is amazing
