I tried this place for the first time a couple of weeks ago and will definitely be returning. The kung pao brussel sprouts were the best brussel sprouts I've ever eaten. The scallops were also delicious. My friend ordered the pepperoni pizza (pictured). I didn't try it but she loved it. read more

Ambiance is good, staff was very attentive, as was speed of service. Unfortunately, with many awesome options in Providence, the food was unremarkable. Three of us started by sharing some appetizers, including the Black Bean & Smoked Corn Empanadas, Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts, and the Point Judith Calamari. All were ok, but none were "wow, this is really good". We then moved to sharing the Margherita pizza. Once again, it was Ok, but that's about it. All were cooked well, but just lacked seasoning/ flavor. Yes, all three of us love cooking, so perhaps we are particular, but when we go out to dinner we look for food that a professional chef can do better than we can do at home. read more

Best pizza ever !! So glad we discovered this place ! Very creative ingredient choices read more

I recommend this business. Food is excellent, especially the salmon. I miss their Providence location.

Yummy yummy yummy!! Visited twice since the reopening of indoor seating and was very impressed. Went once for food and was blown away by the fried chicken buns (in korean bao style). The server was very attentive and had recommended them to us. The drinks were also very good- tried the gin cocktail and was impressed by the dry flavors and and garnish. The next time I went just for drinks and again had a phenomenal time. The service was excellent and the drinks were strong and flavorful. Will definitely be going back the next time I'm in PVD. read more

My wife took me out for my 50th birthday. Saw the many positive reviews. We lived in the area before buying a house which made it a bit nostalgic. The waitress brought over complimentary glasses of champagne to start the celebration. That was very nice and unexpected for sure. We love reds so we selected a bottle of the JUGGERNAUT Cabernet. Ordered the special. Short rib pappardelle was delicious. For dessert a flourless chocolate cake that was divine. We'd certainly come back again for sure. read more

This place is so quaint, located at the corner (formerly the French restaurant Rue DLS) right near Blackstone Blvd. I was there for a work get together and it was a great experience, the staff was attentive throughout. I tried one of the cocktails from the menu it was really good (I can't recall what the name was). The appetizers were so good, the cauliflower, brussel sprouts and calamari are must dos. Even the oysters (fried on the shells presented over salt). The pizzas were yummy, they have a secret pizza that was probably Big Mac and it was good, the crust is kind of crispy and flaky. I look forward to trying entrees there next time! read more

The food was really good and the service was amazing the staff was really friendly and it was just a really good experience with the family

Great place, one of our favorite places. We used to stop when driving between Boston and NY. But can't anymore, the speeding tickets that Pawtucket issues through their cameras just isn't worth the hassle. $50 for going 30mph in a supposed 20mph zone. The food is great, but sorry, I hope they can change the cities policy, I know it is going to keep one customer away. read more

Good spot for drinks/food on Hope street. Came here to grab something quick. Got the flannel season and the luck of the draw. The flannel season was perfectly balanced and was quite good. The luck of the draw is similar to a Manhattan and was quite strong. Also tried the Lippitt Collins, which was light and refreshing. For food, I got the Nashville hot chicken buns which were amazing. They should def bring that back on the menu. Also tried the salmon special with Brussel sprout leaves, asparagus and potatoes. The salmon was prepared well, and overall tasted quite good, though bit pricey for 34$. Overall good experience. read more

How have I forgotten to review my current favorite restaurant in Providence. I really love everything about it. Location because it isn't awful to locate a parking spot. Staff are all excellent and most importantly, the food is always amazing. They also have great cocktails. The sauce that comes with the oysters is outstanding. I ordered a flatbread (maybe steak?) that had a similar tasting sauce. They have good options and even though I can be sad that something I liked is no longer on the menu, the replacements take that spot quickly. Thank you for Avenue N for being top notch. read more

Great dining experience!! The food and the plating was top of the line. Our appetizers which consisted of Black Bean Tortilla Soup and Rock Shrimp Dim Sum was a perfect starter as was the Takes Two To Mango cocktail which was a tropical delight . A special shout out to China the superb mixologist who was meticulous on creating these amazing libations. Also I recommend the Braised Beef Short Ribs as an entree. The ribs were lean, seasoned perfectly and cut like butter with the fork. The atmosphere was cool, hip and modern and the service was outstanding. I can definitely highly recommend Avenue N Providence. Can't wait to return. read more

This restaurant is on another level! The service, the drinks, the food -ALL are OUTSTANDING!!! I actually ate here twice this week because the flavors and uniqueness of the menu selection is exquisitely planned and executed! Our party has tried the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts, Crispy Walrus and Carpenter Oysters, Rumford Biscuit and Chicken Dumpling Soup, Tomato Bisque Soup, Kung Pao Cauliflower, Pan Seared New Bedford Sea Scallops, Steak & scallion pizza, Butternut Honey BBQ Pizza, Short Rib Pappardelle, Pan Seared Filet of Salmon- each dish was literally cooked to perfection with a taste out-of-this-world! Kudos to the Chef!!!! We will be regulars here for sure! read more

I was pretty excited that avenue N was here and offering outdoor seating! We went with some friends this past weekend. We made a reservation, but the wait time can get very long. (Some people in line were told nothing available until 8:45pm, and that was just before 7). We shared the pork belly spring rolls (good, but the meat itself could have been more flavorful), the calamari (nothing special but nice to snack on) and each got our own entrees. I ordered the hand pulled noodles with short rib. These were incredible the first bite but then just good. That first bite blows you away but as you keep eating, the broth/sauce feels a little too sweet and acidic. The short rib is cooked to perfection, however. My husband had the pizza and loved it but said it was very "suburban" - a lot of cheese and the crust is nothing to write home about, but pizza is always pizza and satisfying. Ambiance is good - we thought the street would be loud since we were outdoors, but it wasn't bad. The service was mostly prompt (our drinks took a while, but everything else was very timely) and very kind. Desserts, though, are a big pass for me. We ordered the flourless chocolate cake and I honestly think cheesecake factory can do better. Our friends had the tiramisu and said it was, indeed, tiramisu. read more

Had a great meal here. Apps: kung Pao brussslls and the pork belly skewers. Entrees: salmon and short rib gnocchi. Skipped desert but the carrot cake sounded nice. Drinks: only fans and vibe check. I didn't care for the names of the drinks but they were tasty and different. Sweeter but I enjoy vodka. The food was excellent. The Brussels had a heavy sauce but it was welcomed for me. Sweet and savory. The skewers were sticky and cooked perfectly paired with fresh bao buns. Pickles and a sauce. I'd get both again. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The crab seemed to be a bisque under the rice. Clever and tasty. I had the gnocchi. I prefer more a sear on my gnocchi but the dish was nostalgic of a pot pie with that creamy sauce. The short rib was soft and amazing. The meal was complete. The place is quaint and cute upscale enough and welcoming for casual. I'd go again. read more

Wow! First time here . Starting with creative cocktails and then amazing appetizers ... We had the pork belly skewers and brisket sliders. Incredible !!! I wish I could describe how wonderful this culinary experience was. Main entree's of the crispy fluke , eggplant parmigiana and burger were such a delight and delicious!! Stuffed but we had the carrot cake for dessert . Ahhhh!!! Can't wait to return ! And thank you Amy for showing us the pantry ! And the chocolate chip cookies !! Amazing ! read more

We decided to try this place on a whim and boy were we pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is farmhouse meets industrial so it's cozy and unique. The menu isn't overwhelming but has a choice for everyone. I chose the pan seared scallops and risotto. It was amazing. My husband chose the skirt steak special and it was cooked to perfection. To drink we had a couple of Rhode Trip beers. We can't wait to go back! read more

Avenue N Providence - Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Food is great. Two tips: in the winter, the seats near that door which keeps opening, that's a non-starter, wind and cold make those tables near the door not viable. Also, last night, a Friday...way, way too noisy--people yelling to be heard by one another, maybe the music is too loud and that amps-up the need to speak over the music? Too noisy, period. read more

Lovely restaurant with two great qualities; the food and the impeccable and welcoming service by hostess and our waitress Sydney. This was our first try with friends and we were all impressed from the cocktails to the New Bedford scallops over Risotto to freshly brewed decaf coffee and dessert. One of the best meals we've experienced lately in and around the Providence area. We'll be back! read more

This place is 10 stars and fantastic The Rabar family who owns it is amazing and both Rumford and Providence locations have their own vibe so I definitely suggest trying both don't be afraid to try the pizza or the compile Brussel sprouts read more

This place is by far one of my favorite restaurants. Every time I have been there, the food has been absolutely amazing. I also like that their menu changes so there's always the option to try something new. Highly recommend! read more

The quality of the food at this place was matched by the hospitality! It was a warm and inviting experience with food that my partner and I were excited to eat! read more

Avenue N Providence - Artichoke and ricotta ravioli with broccoli rabe, white beans, toasted pine nuts, fennel, and a roasted red pepper sauce - Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Great food. Great bartenders. All around great local spot. Try the stuffies and the cheeseburger.

I have been to this restaurant a half a dozen times and really enjoyed it. In fact, I have introduced it to friends. Unfortunately, my last visit this week was disappointing. My companion and I ordered the short rib, a dish I loved on a previous visit. Each of us received a few pieces of fatty/grissly meat lost in a bowl of gnocchi. Some of the rib meat could not be cut, never mind chewed. The price per dish was north of thirty dollars which just compounded the disappointment. I expected the hefty price for the meal and drink when I come to this restaurant (the bill for two glasses of wine, one salmon meal, soup and salad with tip came to a hundred bucks) but the value needs to be there. We will give it another try in the future, but for now it won't be in our top three. read more

Avenue N is a fantastic experience. The ambiance is great and design simple and modern...then there's the food...the apps were great, Mortadella Calzone was a table fave and Crispy Cauliflower delicious and well-seasoned. Mains were Scallops which were cooked to perfection and served with a sublime risotto. Margarita pizza was delicious hot (and cold at breakfast today-which as we all know is the true test of pizza); the pizza is very generously portioned too. The Tuna and Grits specials were also a huge hit...as were the double deserts of Chocolate Mousse Cake and Cookies and Ice Cream...the little crunchy ice crystals in the ice cream did the trick for us. The drink menu was creative and reflected some great seasonal options. Take Bourbon Hayride! Service was outstanding too, thank you, Kristen! We can't wait to go back! read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The service is always impeccable. The drinks are phenomenal and the food is consistently creative and delicious! It's in my top 5 favorite places for date night! I highly recommend the no. 3 cosmo it is dangerously delicious! As well as the kung pao brussel sprouts, roasted corn soup, grilled little gem salad and the chicken entree. Everything is delicious! read more

Truly delightful menu! We stopped in a whim and had great service at the outdoor seating. Ate fantastic rock shrimp dumplings (OMG, the pickled pineapple), the best little gem salad ever, and super corn soup. Husband loved his swordfish. Very good prices, too. Just an excellent experience, and great Hope Street vibe. read more

Their food is always fresh and healthy. Ingredients just the right amount. Definitely a must visit!

Finally tried Avenue N this past weekend (hadn't been since this location was formerly Cooke & Brown) and was thoroughly impressed. The food was amazing, far exceeded my expectations, and the portion sizes were perfect. The drinks were also great - tried the "Fly me to Tulum" and their weekend special, "Gravedigger". The wait staff were very quick and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Staff is wonderful.. small and loud..similar to the Rumford location.the entrees were a disappointment..

I live right down the street on 12th and have always loved Avenue! The employees are so nice and attentive. Erin especially is a great bartender and knows her stuff!! Can always count on her to make a good drink. If you're in the area 100% would recommend!! read more

This place is definitely worth all of the hype. Fun and energized atmosphere. A beautiful large bar with a variety of craft cocktails. The entrees are of a wide variety of options and creations. The burger was massive with a large portion of crispy french fries. The shrimp and grits was a unique pairing as well. read more

Stopped in on a busy Friday night. I had a glass of white wine. The harissa meatballs were delicious. The bartender had an incredible pair of new glasses! Comfortable and classy! I'll be back read more

This was our first time here, walked in around 5:30 on a Friday. I was a little surprised at how small the space was. There is patio seating out front which was full. The bar seating and at least the tables behind the bar are very close together. I see pictures and reviews saying the tables are spaced out. I didn't see that in the bar area the tables are extremely close. We had a couple drinks and split the margarita pizza with pepperoni. The pizza was delicious and generous with the toppings. It could have been a little more firmer in the middle. The toppings did slide off trying to get it onto the plate. It is a large pizza and easily shared for an appetizer. While our drinks were kept full we weren't ever asked how the pizza was. The dirty dishes were never taken away until we received the bill. Parking looks like it could be an issue when it's busy. We will have to come back to try more food. read more

Great food and menu and reasonable prices. Also had a great tap beer. I didn't eat dessert.

It is said, and I believe, 'they come for the food; they come back for the service'. I will certainly come back to Avenue N for both. My partner and I have been together for 8 years, and have made a habit of trying a different restaurant every week. There are an endless selection in Providence so we rarely find a spot we feel compelled to return to. Without a reservation, on a Friday evening, they were able to accommodate quickly. The menu had a verity of things I wanted to try, and the chef was happy to accommodate a food allergy. Our server was attentive. The meal was delicious. The moment that solidified it for us actually happened as we were wrapping up the evening. The front of the house manager came by to make sure our meal was going perfectly, at the same time we were deciding that we didn't have room enough for dessert. I told them this was our first time in, how much we enjoyed it, and that we would certainly be back. We closed our bill quickly and started our walk home, and as we were just crossing the street the FOH manager called out of the restaurant to bring us their DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies 'to enjoy later at home'. This was so unexpected, and very much appreciated. The entire meal, and service was spectacular; the whole team deserves kudos. Definitely give this place a try!! read more

I always had great experiences at Avenue N in Rumford, so eagerly anticipated their second location in Providence which the owners boldly opened for takeout mid-pandemic. Like the Rumford location, I find the staff universally welcoming and friendly. Attentive and professional, but never overbearing. They have done a beautiful job augmenting the space on Hope Steet. The new restaurant is decorated beautifully, and feels airy and modern. Same menu as Rumford, which features excellent quality food that isn't pretentious. You can never go wrong with the Avenue N burger, the scallop entree, or a pizza. The hidden gem on the menu is their Caesar salad, which is absolutely delicious. I look forward to becoming a regular at Avenue N PVD. read more
