Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Cranston

We had a wonderful Valentines dinner! The table near the window was perfect and a good size, service was great & the short rib/ lamb shank was absolutely delicious. We never felt rushed & the waiter was very attentive throughout the evening. The dessert at the end is a must! We will totally return, huge thank you to the chef/ kitchen staff, service staff & management for all your hard work on a busy Valentine’s Day weekend! You made the night truly special!!

Our first time dining at Parkside did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated for Valentine’s Day with roses (even the red linen napkins were folded to look like roses). We sat at the bar and were greeted with a smile. There were specials offered along with the main menu. I had the garlic lemon rotisserie chicken which had loads of flavor with every bite. My boyfriend had the homemade papardelle which was also delicious. Service and food was quick and attentive yet we didn’t feel rushed. A perfect combination for a great dining experience. We will definitely be back.

This was my 3rd time at the George. Food and service never disappoint! Both are exceptional! It’s pricier than other restaurants I typically visit, but it is so worth it! It is super noisy (all three times I have been sat at a 2-person table in the bar area; next time I will request to sit in the dining room area). If you love live music, the bar area is a great place to be, but don’t expect to have both music and conversation; also the locals sitting at the bar area definitely use their outdoor yelling voices to be heard over the music (so if you’re into ease-dropping, this could be your place! lol). In short, the bar is great if you know you’re walking in to a music and conversation room that will limit the amount of conversation you can have at your own table. If you are looking for dinner and conversation, I would not recommend NOT being sat in the bar area.

Great experience. This was our second time at Circe. I had a Halibut special with lobster mash potatoes, asparagus and topped with shrimp. Terrific!

Pizza is amazing! Our waiter was awesome!!! It was Valentine’s Day and they did not rush us at all. Oh and the spicey tequila marg, sooooo good!
