One of my favorites! And, I believe a Providence secret. Great food, great prices, great staff, menu shifts for fun, all local and fresh seafood/produce. Love to sit at the bar to enjoy the meal!

Worth going just to see the unique decor, and sweet outdoor seating in the back. Fun, french inspired menu. Menu is heavy on meat and cheese (not so veggie friendly). They smoke their own meat there.

A well designed, "hole in the wall". Asian inspired menu and oyster bar. Best Den Den noodle in town!!! Cool, hip vibe. Not so big so seating can be a challenge but "bar friendly" if a seat is open.
