    I was so excited about vegan nachos. They are hard to come by. But I was so disappointed, the queso was sweet and the chips tasted funny, I am assuming it's the oil they use. In addition, it had a burnt flavor to it. Guac was bland, but I did like the pico de gallo. We were the only ones dining upstairs mid afternoon, but our wait staff was no where to be found. Overall a disappointing experience.

    This is a Mexican restaurant inside Plant City. We need to place an online order if we opt to do a pick up. They also have a fine dining area that looks super nice. But we opted for pick up and had a nachos and rice and beans. Everything tasted good, but the chips in nachos were super crispy and didn't blend well with the other toppings.

    The food at Besina was 10/10 delicious! And it's vegan?! Plant City has several great plant-based options. For sit down, we got to pick between 3 or 4 options and decided on Besina. It had its own specific seating area outside. The waterfront views and downtown vibes in their outdoor seating area are fantastic. My husband and I ordered the Tlayuda to share. It was enough food for the two of us. Looking around at the other tables as well, the portions here are huge! The Tlayuda was a pizza with a crispy tortilla for a base. It had a saucy jackfruit as the main topping. It was flavorful and juicy. The avocados and cashew crema were also very tasty toppings. This dish was such a fun concept, and a hit for both of us. The churros were good, but the chocolate sauce that came with it was the real star! I haven't had a vegan version of this before so I was super excited for it. It did not disappoint. The tiramisu donut however was not what I was hoping for. It was a cream filled donut. It didn't taste like a tiramisu to me so I wasn't a fan. It was decent for a donut though! The churro latte was fantastic. I thought it was overpriced at first, but the drink was HUGE! I got it with pistachio milk, which I've never had before, and I highly recommend it. I really wish I lived closer to here because this place would be my go-to so quick! Highly recommend visiting Plant City and Besina. Especially if you're vegetarian or vegan but even if you're not! I traveled from Boston and honestly it's so worth it. Make the trip!

    Chili Relleno's- delicious!

    Kick ass! This was yummy and amazing. The vibe of the restaurant is modern yet very comfortable. Not pretentious at all. We had the Tyaluda app (a yummy Mexican style pizza but on a tortilla). This was both of our favorite item. Perfect and was easily a meal on its own. My BF had the chili rellonos for his main - 2 stuffed poblanos. It was delicious and a very generous portion. I had the salad and it was fresh, yummy and HUGE. We took half of everything home for dinner. Amazing value. He had a classic margarita and I had the cardamargarita. Both were very good but his was awesome. A perfect margarita. We did Churros for dessert. They came with a chocolate dipping sauce and a vanilla. These were very yummy but the center was a little moist still. Yummy all the same but not exactly like the classic churro. Overall we LOVED it here and will definitely be back. Service was great. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Great job Plant City!

    I'm a huge Matthew Kenney fan; have eaten at at least a dozen or so of his restaurants or collaborations so I was really excited to try, but the food fell really flat. I'm wondering if they had an off day or something because I have never had a bad experience at a Matthew Kenney restaurant. The service was great. Our server was awesome, though I do think she should have called the bartender out for making a 60% full martini. I used to be a bartender and I never would have served someone just over half a drink, especially when they're paying ~$20 for it. If I didn't put enough in the shaker, I would do the right thing and make it again. The nachos were excellent. This and the interior design are why I'm giving 3 stars (and because it pains me to diss a vegan business). The chorizo tacos were a bit soggy and tasted overwhelmingly like black licorice. I couldn't have more than two bites. I took the rest home where more people tried it, agreed, and they ended up in the trash. I have sent food back 1-2 times in my life and wish I did this time. The burrito was just okay, a little bland. The dorados tacos were also just okay. I had planned on ordering the ice cream but chose not to after trying the food. I still got to try it when our table ordered an affogato and I was glad I didn't order it--the ice cream tasted like the lowest quality vegan vanilla ice cream you can get at any supermarket. All of the food had an amazing presentation. Overall I was disappointed. I will eat any vegan food but even I found it to be inedible.

    Besina has delicious, plant-based Mexican-inspired cuisine in a beautiful setting by the river. They are one of three full service restaurants in the all-vegan food hall called Plant City, a project by celebrity chef Matthew Kenney. We enjoyed everything from the food to the al fresco dining to the decor.

    This is the third time I have visited Amaryllis and I keep going back for the same reason- the food…read moreis spectacular. The menu rotates with a few constants, and the food is always flavorful and delicious. Today we had the spreads plate, which was a great starter, followed by the grilled octopus and the chicken thighs; all the food is so unique and nothing like anything else I have had in Providence. We finished the night off with the olive oil cake and vanilla gelato, a menu staple and my favorite! Besides the food, the ambiance is great and depending on where you sit you can watch your food being cooked which is cool! The service is great, and the restaurant is BYOB or you can purchase wine from the store next door. Overall, if you haven't tried Amaryllis yet you should go immediately because you'll regret not going sooner!

    We had a lovely dinner at Amaryllis. They are BYOB and I appreciate that they tell you this when…read moreyou DM them on IG to make a reservation. They partner with the wineshop next door so you can grab a chilled bottle ahead of your dinner. The bistro tables are so cute and love the bistro lights over Westminster. The seating does feel very weather dependent as the interior looked very small without the patio. The menu is small, but highlights some great seasonal options. Plenty of vegetarian dishes with some meat thrown in. The highlight for me was the cheeseboard. I'm not usually the type to order a cheeseboard, but this one did not disappoint. It had a great variety of cheese and the dark chocolate with honey was some of the best chocolate I've ever had. We got the pea pasta for a main and the pasta was perfectly done, the sauce wasn't super flavorful for me. So I'd probably stick to other dishes off their Summer menu. For dessert I'm a sucker for an olive oil cake and couldn't let this one pass me by. It was excellent! If you are into olive oil cake I highly recommend it. We also got the peach galette which was quite tasty as well. Overall a lovely spot where you can tell people care about the artistry of every plate that heads out the door.

    So good, so darn good…read more The collard greens are tender and not too salty or vinegar-y. Solid. Chicken has a great crispy crunch while staying tender and juicy. I didn't need the dipping sauces. Mac and cheese is thickkkkk. I love a meal with leftovers - made for the best lunch and dinner this past Saturday. Our server was lovely. Drive the bridge. It's worth it. The place is good vibes.

    Disclaimer: I don't eat chicken so no comment on that but others in our party did like the chicken…read morevery much. As a non-chicken eater, I ordered salad, hush puppies and the catfish sliders. I was also excited that they had a number of local beers on draft. The salad was pretty average and underwhelming. The hush puppies were also just okay. The catfish sliders were the tastiest of the three but I did find a small piece of bone in one. We chose this restaurant because it was close to an event we were attending later in the evening. Since the chicken was well received, I might come back with other chicken enthusiasts, but unlikely I'd check back here myself. Service was pretty speedy but although we requested separate checks at the start of the meal we still got a combined check and had to ask again for the split. Ambience is nice with a bit of a bistro flair and cute chicken themes. The process of making a reservation here is awkward. You have to request the reservation and then they email you later to confirm it. Would be much more convenient if they did Open Table or Resy. Limited parking too. Their lot is small and we had to park on a side road, which was not a big deal as the road seems to be in an industrial area and was not busy.

    Was in the Federal Hill area of Providence and went to There There for a burger. Arrived shortly…read moreafter 11, was told they were serving breakfast but would be happy to start the burgers a little early. This place is awesome! Menu is small but the burgers are delicious. Added salt potatoes instead of fries and they were a new favorite. The whole meal was fantastic! I know your reading my review and saying to yourself a burger is a burger, how good can it be? If you don't go, you will never understand!! A few things- this is in a neighborhood. Parking is very tight. Grab whatever you can close by. Also not much seating, it is a small place. We arrived a little after 11 by 11:30 on a Saturday there was a line and seats were tough to find! Yes, there are challenges but don't miss this place!!

The regular steak fries were delicious love their homemade seasoning. The CNY potatoes just weren't it for us, there was a group of 4 and no one really cared for them, but if pepperoncini flavor is your thing go for it. The chicken sandwich was okay didn't have much flavor too it sadly. Atmosphere of track 15 is great and the girl at the counter was kind and friendly to us as well.
