I absolutely need to go back and try more. I had the chicken and waffles, lingual and eggs. All were cooked to perfection. I also tasted the flat bread with eggs - amazing! To drink we had the gallo - OMG! The waitress was kind, patient, checked on us and very personal able.... Everything was perfect. My friends had the cachupa!!!! It was so good. Can't wait to go back! The restaurant was empty giving the day and time we went which I didn't hate - more attention for us. Cute and clean! read more

I've been to 10 Rocks Tapas bar and restaurant before and honestly the food is always amazing. This time we decided to go for date night and try some new dishes. It was Providence Restaurant Week and I wanted to specifically patronize a BIPOC business. We first started coming here during the height of the pandemic and we dined outside in the parking lot, which was actually a lovely experience. Since then the restaurant has expanded their outdoor patio area with a covered roof, giving us another reason to want to come back. It was really hot the day we went so we decided to eat inside, but we were not disappointed. There were noticeable changes since the last time we've been here. I love the upgrades, like the chic rechargeable lamps on the table (instead of votive candles) and the teensy spray of babies breath in a purple tiny vase. These small touches give the restaurant a modern flare while still maintaining that comfy feeling, and you just can feel it in your bones that you're going to get an amazing home-cooked meal. The Prix Fixe #PRW menu was really well curated there was so many choices. It was actually hard to decide, but my husband ended up with the marinated sirloin tips over mashed potatoes with spinach and a Demi glaze and I had the African lemon sauce, chicken with rice and salad entrees. All of the appetizers and the dessert options were also really incredible. The dulce de leite cake might just be the best dessert I've eaten all year! The staff was really incredible and attentive. Even when the manager had to come over and talk to me about my Yelp check in coupon, he was very kind and helpful. Long story short, I'm very particular and I had a five star experience at 10 Rocks I highly recommend!!! read more

This is a great Island fusion restaurant that has good food, drinks and music. They offer live entertainment usually on Friday and Saturday nights. I love the decor and African prints with an upscale touch. They have good parking but also street parking on busy nights. The service was very accommodating with substitutions for side items. On slower days there is only one server, but the pace wasn't slow at all. You can come alone or on a date and have a nice dining experience. Enjoy! read more

I love Ten Rocks! I've tried their brunch, dinner, and happy hour menus. I've never had anything that wasn't tasty. Most recently, I came for Friday happy hour - 5-7 PM at the bar - $5 apps and $5 margaritas! I think they have other drinks options but I needed a strong margarita after my work week. I had the steak kebabs, yuca fries, coconut shrimp, and goat cheese. The drinks were prepared quickly and the food was prepared in an average time - they seemed to be getting busier around 5:30/6 PM. The bartender was kind & made great drinks! ALL THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! I really loved the steak kebabs and the coconut shrimp with the mango sauce. They always have a good playlist as background music. I highly recommend 10 Rocks - especially happy hour! read more

This spot never misses on drinks, food or music. Can't wait to stop by when I'm in town. From the sangria pitchers to their versions of an espresso martini- hit EVERY time. Food is 10/10. Some of my faves include the pastels, wings (lemon pepper AND piripiri), and the shrimp Mozambique(a MUST try). read more

Great cocktails with an island flair. Food was so good! Went for a sax show and the atmosphere was just great! Had a perfect night with my bestie. This is a good spot to bring a date as well. Only complaint is it can get very loud with music nights and the restaurant does get packed. I looked around at one point and the crowd was such a vibe. Beautiful people there too. I had the pastel, delish! Fries, yum! Octopus app I could've done without! Wings, yessss!! read more

What a great way to try food from the island of Cape Verde, off the African coadt, but close by in Rhode Island. A nice selection of seafood including octopus, squid and tuna. Nice blend of spices and sauces, us some great Cape Verde rum punches. There is often live music, although we missed it. Clean, great service and reasonably priced food. read more

I came here because they had reservations available for brunch. Turned out I didn't need one--we came in at 11:15 on a holiday weekend and they were completely empty. Which was weird because the food was fabulous. I had eggs and chorizo on cachupa (essentially a Cape Verdean hash); and my spouse had a platter that included absolutely perfect coconut shrimp, excellent crab cake and plantains, and more. It seems like more of a bar/nighttime vibe (they have a good-sized stage for live music), but I highly recommend checking out the brunch. read more

A return visit for hubby & I for dinner. We were on the early side for a Saturday evening but the restaurant was happening! Very eclectic crowd, lots of different languages being spoken & a woman in a sparkly silver bodysuit - you go, girl! Menu has a little something for everyone. Personally, we skip the tapas & go straight to the main menu (we find them to be a bit over-priced). To start, we opted for the Calamari di Cabo Verde - calamari, chorizo, banana peppers, olives & red bell peppers served with garlic aioli & marinara sauces. Delightful, perfectly fried & the chorizo slices were a nice addition. Hubby hadn't had yucca fries in years so we added them. Loved the creamy horsey dipping sauce! For my dinner, I selected the Bitoque - medium rare sirloin steak, Portuguese style, topped with fried eggs, finished with Portuguese demi-glace & served with Portuguese chips. I could make a meal out of those potatoes! Crunchy on the outside, creamy potato on the inside. How do they do that? Hubby opted for Salmão de Cesaria - pan-seared Faroe Island salmon, mashed potatoes & vegetable topped with house Mozambique shrimps. HUGE portion & totally yummi! We were so full, we skipped dessert. The rest of the steak & potatoes made an awesome brunch dish the next morning. read more

This place had outside dining with fire, which looked pretty nice. The foods were okay - nothing particularly good nor bad. The price was reasonable for all the foods expect tapas, which was little pricy for what we got. The service was nice - the waiter was friendly and also I was told that they had a live music every Saturday. If you look for such vibe, it's probably a good place to go. The restaurant had a parking, which was nice too. read more

This place is absolutely amazing their food is so good. Service is a little bit slow, so we usually sit at the bar. The only thing I really don't like is that they charge you to go into the restaurant a night that they have bands even though you just want to eat. The bands are actually really loud and it's really hard to enjoy dinner never mind have any type of conversation. But the food is worth it. Wish they were open every day of the week. read more

This place gave SO MUCH food!! We ordered several different dishes to split thinking it was tapas sized but the portions were so large and we had lots of leftovers. We got the paella, yucca fries, octopus, calamari, and coconut shrimp. The octopus and yucca fries were my favorite...the fries were the perfect amount of crispy and the octopus came with these delicious plantains! The calamari was a bit too breaded for me and the paella was really salty but overall a great meal. read more

I have been going here for years and always excited to bring visiting family to this place. However, I haven't been in over a year and the last time I had brunch and all was well. This past wkend I took my brother, his girl and our kids for dinner. We were literally the only ones there and service took long. But that is not actually why I am writing this. The main reason is because ten rocks is giving us poor quality food and raising prices everyday. I ordered a salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The salmon was so dry I feel like it must have been frozen salmon and very over cooked. The vegetables I am also going to say were also frozen veggies. But the worst of it all was the INSTANT MASHED POTATOES. Wtfffffff. Y'all trying to tell me you couldn't boil 3 potatoes, toss butter, garlic, salt and cream in that and plate it?! Lazy as fuck and then the price of it. I was disgusted. My sister in law ordered the bacalau and it took the server 20 mins to come tell us they didn't have it available. And when I asked them why did they take their time to tell us that, the server said it's because the bacalau is made so quickly they wait until the end to make it and that's why it took that long to share that information. This place I used to love is now a joke. read more

This restaurant is loud and slow. Like a dying hippopotamus. Is the food good? I don't know. Every time I try to eat here, I die of old age before the food arrives. Kanye is right.

We visited Ten Rocks for Providence Restaurant Week. There were so many options on the menu, and everything sounded delicious. We finally decided on the fried goat cheese with honey and almonds for an appetizer, which was absolutely amazing. For entrees, we ordered the coconut shrimp and the Maria Helena Batitas Bravas -a potato and chorizo dish topped with an egg and a scallion sauce, and we thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. The sauce on the potatoes and chorizo was a little spicy, but very flavorful. The coconut shrimp came with two mouthwatering sauces; one garlic and one apricot. For dessert we tried the mango cheesecake, which was heavenly and light. The reason why this review is four stars as opposed to five is because the restaurant was somewhat lacking in service. While the room was mostly empty when we arrived, it quickly filled up and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and were therefore not able to give their full attention to each table. There was also a drink that we ordered which never made it to our table. Our server was very friendly and polite, but overworked as he had far too many tables to attend to. All in all though, we had a great experience here and I would love to go back again to try more menu items and hear some music. read more

food is great here but came here on Valentine's Day for an 830 reservation. we weren't greeted or seated right away. nor were we asked if we had a reservation. Service was really bad and we waited so long just for our entree that I had to ask for a Togo box right away and just to box the desserts. it is now 11pm and we are now just leaving after trying to wave down the server/waitress for the past half hour! read more

The service was good and the staff were attentive. I've been to their brunch the Bitoque, Hungry Cape Verdean, Cabo Verde Pastel, and Mindel sunrise are my favorite dishes!

Came in with a Groupon tonight and left very satisfied. It was a rainy night so it was a slow crowd. Wasn't sure what to expect from the outside but the place is modern with dim lighting for an intimate atmosphere. There is a stage for performances but there wasn't one tonight which was fine with us. I like to be able to have a convo during dinner. I had the sangria praia - great flavors and very refreshing. For tapas, we had the cod cakes, chorizo and peppers and the batatas bravas. Everything was delicious. The cod cakes were crispy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. The batatas bravas had a nice garlicky flavor with chunks of chorizo. My favorite was the chorizo and peppers - prepared wonderfully with onions and peppers that were cooked down in a flavorful spicy sauce that came with a side of white rice. Even though they are tapas (small plates), I left very full. The service was excellent. Quick, friendly and very helpful. Looking forward to coming back to try other items on their menu. read more

First time here. The Restaurant Weeks prix fixe menu had a lot of options, so we decided to try someplace new. Service was attentive but leisurely paced on a cold and quiet Friday night. One of us had coconut chicken tacos from the regular menu and the other had kale soup, coconut curry fish, and passion fruit cheesecake from the special menu. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. Would come again, maybe in summer when the weather might complement the cuisine a little better. read more

Cape Verdean food while listening to a talented singer sing R&B favorites. Fantastic. The upsides: The food is delicious - I recommend both bacalaos and the paella. Every employee was very nice, the music is really good. The downsides: It gets so noisy you may not be able to hear your tablemates, not many options for your less adventurous friends, plenty of parking. read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but unfortunately this experience was absolutely terrible. Between waiting 10 minutes to even be approached by a host, then waiting an additional 20 minutes at the table to be even offered a glass of water. We expressed our concerns to the waitress about waiting more than 20 minutes for service and weren't even given an apology. The food was not anywhere near as good as it was last time and nothing we ordered came out correctly. At the end of the meal we spoke with the manager who also did not apologize nor offer any kind of solution to entice us to return. A 40 minute drive I will never make again for this restaurant. read more

Someone actually said "This was the best dinner I ever had"...must have been in prison for a long time! One of the worst i ever had! 3 item app tray--Pastel Cabo Verde --terrible--filling was bad--old canned tuna fish! Other 2 --ok. Kabob Rack--laughable. Small skewered shrimp-- not even grilled-- with pickled onions. Asked if we could do a combo--chicken and shrimp. NO, On to the "Polpo"..octopus. I am a gourmet cook and do octopus regularly. Horrible! Fishy, poorly prepared. (beautiful presentation) Waitress said "people come from all over for this dish". Hope they have a better experience than we did! Got our check--overcharged us $7 for a bottle of wine. Place was empty at 5pm on a Saturday. There is a reason for that. read more

The worst dining experience that I have had in Providence. I had reservations came on time and was seated. Half off the restaurant was closed off. There were two servers total, to serve both inside and outside diners. It was restaurant week. We ordered drinks and appetizers to start. Drinks never came, servers were mostly outside or nowhere to be found. Finished microwaved apps and ordered entrees-- still no fru fru cocktail with an umbrella in it. Entree made with pump cheese just like at taco bell. I would have had a better meal at Taco Bell. Bill finally came-- lots of 'funny business' in the total --- they blamed it on a computer error. Perhaps people go there for the music -there was none that night-- Please don't go there for the food! read more
