    Great place for brunch- only disappointment was the size of the mimosa cocktail- It had to be the smallest flute I have ever seen! Other than that, the food, service and ambiance were great!

    Hands down...my favorite spot in Providence! Offers it all. Ambiance, flavors to entice all palates, and the best service. I enjoy sitting in the bar area. The brick walls embracing the warm fireplace and mood lighting...the best! Just had my birthday dinner there. 4th time there in 2 months😊. Our server was John. He was outstanding. His attention to detail was unmatched. I had to change my reservation 3 times because family members kept adding themselves. Waterman Grille didn't miss a beat on accommodating the change. 10 Stars!!!!

    Food was delicious and Tommy our server was great. Ambience by the fire was so nice on a freezing night. Got there early and they kindly let me get seated at my table to enjoy a glass of wine. Will be back!

    Brunch. The service here is top notch. The restaurant is cozy and cool at the same time. However, like many places brunch is overpriced and the food is ok, but not worth the price. I would go for dinner or a fancy lunch? But would not bother with brunch unless money is not an issue with your fam.

    It’s been years since we’ve been to Waterman and it was even better than we remember. Food was exceptional along with the service! Can’t wait to go back!
