Shout out to the manager Leo and the bar staff Brittany, Connor and James who made amazing cocktails! I asked for a Last word and James nailed it! Even when some of the pretentious customers made Britany open several wine bottles because it was not 'fresh', she took it in stride and gave excellent service. The customer (a pretentious Karen) obviously had no idea that wine has to breathe. The seafood was super fresh and the best time to go was happy hour...dollar oysters were such good value for money.

Not super spicy the peppers were so amazing and who knew that pickled cucumbers and ginger would go so well... this is my new go to dish. OK, and then our server was fantastic... We both switched our schedule so we could have a day off on Friday and we felt very taken care of and the only thing better would've been to be sitting in reclining chairs and being served. The oysters were spot on, and then it became Appy Hour... dollar oysters and discounted appetizers from 3 to 530 every day. Changed up our drinks and I had french fries with the peppercorn sauce and bubbles and of course we had more oysters. We will definitely be back here again. This place is awesome.

We were lucky that another patron decided they wanted a table versus the chef's seat at the counter. For us, this is the perfect place to sit because it lets you take in the whole experience. The ambiance was great. I had the same great Negroni as last time, but also had a new take on an Old Fashioned called the Dinner Jacket. Very yummy! Our server was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered the Kohlrabi Caesar and sesame focaccia again. It was as great as the first time. The focaccia is amazing. My wife ordered the Anolini for her entree, and I ordered the fabulous rack of lamb cooked in the wood-fired oven. It was simply amazing. We ended by splitting the warm apple tart. Everything was fabulous...my rating is the same. Go and enjoy yourself.

I loved the cream and gold aesthetics, as well as the cool art on the ceiling. They have a variety of seating areas including tables inside and outside as well as highchairs around the open kitchen and highchairs wrapping around the brick oven which is where we sat. We were warned that it does get very toasty, but it wasn't anything unbearable. My friend comes here often, so he noticed that they've made big changes to their menu. He highly recommended the crudo; it can either be ordered a la carte ($14 per fish serving) or one of each as a platter. I chose to try the black bass and bluefin tuna. We also ordered wood roasted sesame focaccia to eat with the crudo and the cacio and Pepe we ordered. Lastly, we ordered a Kohlrabi Caesar salad which comes with Boston blackened boquerones, croutons, and parmiagano. The food came out at different moments but we ate the salad, bread, and crudo together and saved the pasta for last. The crudo was very fresh and decent serving size. It seemed to only be topped with olive oil and salt, but that was enough to amplify the flavor. The focaccia was soft, easy to tear apart, warm, perfectly crispy/toasted, and every millimeter of the focaccia was covered in sesame seeds. It comes with olive oil to dip in. The salad was unique. I have never had kohlrabi before but it was similar to broccoli stems in its firmness, but not as sweet. It was not drowned in dressing which I was happy about, and has a good amount of parmesan cheese. I could taste the crunchy croutons which added an additional crunch along with the kohlrabi. I have never had boquerones before so I wasn't sure which flavor to look out for. The cacio and Pepe was okay. It was a little bland, but since it was my first time having it, I was not sure what to expect. The spaghetti was cooked a little under al dente and the sauce was a lower viscosity than I imagined. My friend had a drink and all together, our bill was close to $100 which is not too bad. The plates look small (about 6-8" in diameter), but the food is filling. I decided to check out the website for fun and I love the octopus art and that it's easy to navigate. The staff was very friendly and made us feel important and taken care of.

Especially, when it comes to food and restaurants. "Foo, you know because you know, where do I go for seafood in Providence?" "Are you willing to drop coin?" "Maybe." So, Foo says back to the tourist, "If you want some clam shack food go to Champlin's in Galilee, get the clam strips, pro tip, RI clear. Or Aunt Carrie's." "But Foo, I want fine dining, I want to drop some coin and impress my Home Slice!" "Then my fine fellow, you want Hemenway's! Start by slipping the hostess a massive stack of grat, sit by the windows, do a Stoli Doli with some raw bar and either the paella or seafood casserole. Finish with some baked Alaska and then another nightcap at the big bar. If you're alone, there's always a stone fox chilling to gab with." Then the tourist said, "Foo, how do you know all these things?" "It's easy old boy, Foo is known for my celebrity and for dropping massive stacks of grat all over town. Hemenway's is no exception. I run the joint because they jump when I walk in. It's all Foo this and Foo that!" "I am envious of you Foo. Thanks so much." "Foo knows you no Foo so don't try to emulate Foo, but don't forget to rain grat on the little people" "Respect," said the tourist with his hands clutching his heart, and who suddenly looked and sounded like Ali G on the old Da Ali G Show on HBO. "Go to Hemenway's my son, go have seafood and break out that impressive Quicksilver card of yours. Don't be cheap and eat the raw bar, now get at it," says me Foo. The reviewer of this review.

The menu is small and yet there's always plenty of yummy things to try when I go, even as a picky eater. There are multiple vegetarian and even a vegan option or two. I always have to get the guac when I come here - it's the perfect amount of creaminess without too much onion. Their red salsa is a great slightly chunky - slightly juicy texture and has a bit of a kick. The vegan burrito bowl is my go-to as a vegetarian, and the street corn side as an app is elite! It is a little spicier these days since the recipe was updated from on the cob to off the cob (I much prefer off for ease of eating and sharing!) The Coconut Cartel margarita was creamy and smooth and went down *quick* haha. Others in my party loved the spicy Margarito, although they were out of the main spicy tequila but the servers offered substitute recommendations. I came with a very large work group today, and the servers were so patient and flexible when we asked for modifications from the menu. I even was able to order the queso dip with the chorizo on the side (yummy but very thick cheese dip!), and they were very attentive of my colleague's mushroom allergy and made sure she got dedicated dishes, even when we were all sharing apps. The churro donuts seem to have changed recipe and got mixed reviews - some thought they were dry, another says she Uber Eats just those regularly Sitting outside in the summer on the patio is nice. Tasty, interesting dishes with modern urban twists on Mexican recipes. Truly the only slight downside is that sometimes parking can be tricky in this area, but you can always find free street parking, it may just take you a little bit. Even the funky and creative decor is a selling feature for me. A must-try!
