   As always, another amazing evening at Pot au Feu! I have season tickets to PPAC on Sunday evenings but made a switch because my friend has been craving their duck breast confit. I had to steal a taste, and it was heavenly! I have been attempting to work my way through the menu and last night selected the steak frites which was cooked to perfection. Dinner begins with crusty French bread and a crock of soft butter and the most delicious of salads with your choice of two homemade dressings. Ordinarily, we save room for dessert, but since we wanted to savor every last bite of dinner, we didn't leave room. That only means our return trip will have to be very soon! As for service and ambiance, if you have not had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant, you will see how a guest is made to feel as though you're at home. Cozy and comfortable with little candles on each table, even though it was crowded and every table occupied, you feel as though you're in your own little secluded world. Bob Burke is the consummate host, making certain every patron is attended to and entirely satisfied. On this particular evening, our server, whose name escapes me, was delightful. Attentive yet not overbearing. It was a pleasure to see Hillary a long-time staff member whose two children Caleb and Katerina are now "bussers" and learning the intricacies of fine dining with a comfortable and casual flair. It was the perfect evening! Looking forward to my next visit at the Pot au Feu!

   The food was average and the service was terrible. I had to ask for things that should have already been on the table like a spoon for my soup. The server basically ignored us, even after leaving the table to literally stand next to her to get her attention. I didn’t eat most of my entree and asked to have it wrapped. I got a very small portion in tin foil and asked what happened to the rest and was told I should have asked to have everything wrapped. It was a waste of time and money and a very disappointing experience.

   The restaurant is beautiful. Food, drinks and service were good. Tables are really small and close together. Parking is tough, especially if you don't want to pay $25 for it in one of the nearby lots.

   We have been going to Pot au Feu for 20 plus years and have never been disappointed. We love the ambiance,the consistency, the food and the service. Last night I had the Pate Maison to start, Coquilles St Jacques for dinner and crème brûlée for dessert. Everything was perfect silky, flavorful pate and tender scallops. My husband had duck and was equally pleased. We have had most things on the menu and it has been consistently good. It is romantic and lovely inside with a quiet atmosphere so one can easily converse with one’s partner or guests. We’ll continue to patronize this restaurant as long as possible!

    There aren’t many really good French restaurants, however, Pot at Feu is the exception. A warm, friendly atmosphere, and the owner makes it his business to come to the table and not just check as to whether or not you are enjoying meal but have a nice conversation with you. It had been a couple of years since we dined at Pot au Feu and it was perfect on a cold winter night. The French onion soup is perfect. The duck is absolutely delicious!! If you like duck - this is the one to try. My wife had beef tournedos and they were tender and flavorful! We shared the crepes Suzetteand it is wonderful!!! What can I say - if you are in providence and like French food, go to Pot au Feu!
