    Eastside Providence needs more restaurants like this! It's open every day and has a great location with available parking. The menu offers fish, meat, and vegetarian options locally sourced including standard fare like burgers to more inventive daily specials. Never fussy or pretentious, it provides a festive "eating out" experience. Rhode Island style calamari are always a sure bet. I was going for comfort food on a chilly night, but the beef stroganoff wasn't the best and arrived lukewarm. On the other hand, the hanger steak and scallops ordered by others at our table were excellent. Be sure to make a reservation in advance.

    First time for the Saturday brunch. The Mr Coffee beverage w vanilla vodka was spot on. Started w a charcuterie board special which was delicious and perfect for two. Son had the burger which was done perfectly (med rare) i had the eggs your way. Two eggs, bacon, finger potatoes and added the hanger steak. Again, steak cooked perfectly. Presentation of the food plates was impressive. Sorry no pictures. Lol. Too full to try the desserts. Highly recommend going for brunch if haven't gone before.

    Craft cocktails were inventive and done well. Mezza Plate was excellent…loved the garlic hummus and eggplant. I had the halibut special with a butternut squash cream sauce that was superb. Others had Shrimp Bucatini, grilled pork chop and grilled hanger steak. All well done and the guys took leftovers home. That rarely happens!

    Friends brunch gathering, 6 of us, large parking lot, and free parking, which is always appreciated. Our server Katie was wonderful, patient and kind. The manager Ashley is awesome. The cocktails ordered (Moscarrot mule, beet it, beer-mosa, espresso martini) were all perfection, as was the iced latte. The food was delicious, omelets, eggs your way, the cheeseburger, everyone was very satisfied. We finished with dessert, they had a special, banana bread with a vanilla glaze and we also had the toffee pudding cake, both were to die for. Then the bonus of Fare Rewards points through Newport Restaurant Group (about a dozen of their different restaurants throughout the state, from north to south) and this restaurant gets an A++ rating, love it and look forward to returning.
