    Insalata Alla Cesare
    ShaynaLynn ..

    Always a great experience- from the beautiful atmosphere to the beverages, apps and meals you will already be planning your next dinner date he re before you even finish! Elegant, everything is perfectly timed - staff is accommodating to whatever your needs are.. definitely make a reservation ahead of time / get there a bit early and enjoy a beverage at their beautiful bar

    We made a reservation at the earliest time. Got seated right away. This is our annual dinner celebration of a birthday. Our server Christopher seemed a little unfriendly. Not one smile was given. We have had a lot of different experiences with the servers here but they were all friendly and helpful. Also I think it is nice all the servers remember the special menu but I would like to see it print out on a piece of paper. The other staffs that ran away to collect our plate, filled our water and packed our takeout boxes were really nice. Calamari with banana peppers were excellent as always!!! Our entrees were Chicken parm with capellini in pink vodka sauce and the meatball on the side! Love the pink sauce, good creaminess and balance of flavor! Chicken parm with marinara sauce and meatball on the side! Everything was done well! When we asked for a bit of pink sauce because it didn't come with a lot of it on my plate... I wanna make sure I can still have some for the takeaway leftover. We got charged for $5 extra sauce? We were being informed for that. So that was a bit off putting. I have done that in the past before. But none of the waiter would charge me for a scoop of sauce. I didn't know it until I looked at the receipt to be honest. Dining experience is always something we enjoy coming to Camille's. I think the general manager George should know this. Thanks for the wonderful food. Hope next time, it will be better.

    My mom always comes beforehand to decorate the table, but look at the view. It's always very beautiful and amazing here.

    I've been here quite a few times, my sister likes to come here for her birthday and she reserves the upstairs private room area, so I've never been downstairs in the main restaurant so this is only speaking from the private room. But every time I come here the valet is absolutely professional and sweet and they work hard because the street the restaurant is on is very small. I recommend always doing valet here, because I mean it is Fed Hill good luck finding parking. The staircase up the stairs is nice and when you get upstairs it's absolutely Devine. The look of it is fancy, and it gives you that dim lit relaxed ambience. You always get an amazing personal server we had Micaiah which he was beyond amazing. Very attentive, relaxed and patient- which is always appreciated when you have a big party. He treated everyone with respect and got all the orders correct and treated us well! Now to the food- I got a lobster tail with whipped potatoes oh my yummy! I miss them I want more. My sister got salmon and she never likes to finish it all because she always wants some for later but last night she ate it all it's very flavorful and yummy. Not one single guest complained about their order. The sizes are pretty decent. The food is very flavorful. And the presentation is amazing! And don't get me wrong. The prices can get very steep here but you pay for the ambience, you pay for the great service, and you pay for the atmosphere. So to me, I believe that that's a winner. You also have a private bathroom upstairs with you and your party use which is great to have is very close by. No other guests will be using it. It's extremely clean. They have a beautiful mirror in there and it's very well stocked. Every single time I've come here every server that I've had has been tremendously amazing they're always very kind and I cannot complain about the service at all. If you haven't been here, I would definitely give it a go, especially for like a date night something romantic or even just chill. The food is so worth it.

    All around amazing. From the cocktails (if you love a sweet martini highly recommend the black cherry cosmo) to the dessert definitely a 5 star experience. The apps were amazing (highly recommend the cannellini bean dish) and every single person in my party loved their entrées. However, our favorite was definitely the ravioloni cacio e pepe. Highly highly recommend!!

    Camille's is an Italian Cuisine restaurant on Federal Hill it does offer valet. The food is fine dining so you will pay a bit more. The alcoholic drinks are not watered down. The servers are always so polite. The ambiance is sophisticated. The upstairs is for larger parties the design is beautifully done. My daughter has had her annual birthday dinner her a few years in a row they are nice enough to let me arrive an hour or two prior to dinner to set the table with decorations ( if there are no parties before ours).

    Still a fantastic place for dinner on the hill. Took my youngest daughter was dinner- best tiramisu she's has ever had. Great service as always.

    Vitello Alla Parmigiano

    If you're looking for authentic Italian-American classic dishes on Federal Hill, Camille's recipes are the perfect way to satisfy that craving. I had the Oysters Rockefeller and Veal Parm, my friend ate the Arancini di Roso and Chicken Francese. The veal and chicken cutlets were perfectly crispy but the meat was still tender enough to cut and chew easily, their gravy isn't too spicy or salty. The oysters were fresh and delicate with buttery flavor and the arancini had a comforting texture with bold flavor. I indulged in two glasses of Prosecco and my friend had two Bikini Martinis. Curtis, our waiter gave us fantastic service. In fact, I requested him for mine and my husband's upcoming date night in the upstairs dining room by the window. Thank you Camille's!

    Stuffed artichoke

    I do a lot of research before picking a restaurant, and dinner at Camille's in Providence proved to be an excellent choice. We went with a family-style approach and started with carpaccio, calamari, and stuffed artichokes--all delicious. For salads, we had both the Caesar and the Burrata Caprese. For the main course, we shared a veal chop, pounded thin and transformed into an extraordinary veal Parmesan--tender, flavorful, and generously portioned.... HUGE-- share it! We also added the Pasta Aglio e Olio, which was phenomenal--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We capped off the meal with a slice of homemade cheesecake that didn't disappoint--rich, creamy, and a perfect finish. But the highlight of the evening was the service--absolutely over the top. Kudos to Danny, who went above and beyond to make our night special.

    Last night we went to Camille's with friends and we had a really good dining experience. The restaurant is an upscale (dressy casual) Italian tradition on the Hill in Providence. Our waiter was very polite and he helped us with separate checks. Everyone enjoyed their dishes, which were of good size, the lasagna dish was probably at least 2 lbs while the Bolognese came in a huge bowl full of pasta and delicious sauce. Several boxes were needed to take food home at the end of dinner..... I got the grilled salmon and it was prepared very well over risotto. My husband got the Pollo a la Francese and he loved his meal. The only disappointment was that I was interested in one of the specials (which when the waiter recites them, he does not tell you the price of them...I had to specifically ask for the price of the Sea Bass)...initially he said the Bass was served over a risotto...so when it was time to order, I asked him to describe the Bass special again and now he said, it's over mashed potatoes...I said...I don't want mashed potatoes, so instead of saying that he could ask to change the bed of starch, he did not. That inflexibility was not great.... Overall the meal was filling and delicious.

    Veal Chop Parm with Vodka Sauce
    Brian D.

    My wife and I visited Camille's last week, I had high expectations after studying their menu in advance. Even though our visit was for lunch we ordered an appetizer, an off-menu dinner item, and a lunch special. The service was excellent throughout the entire meal from start to finish, I don't recall the gentleman's name, but he was an excellent waiter, The decor inside the restaurant was rather upscale and somewhat dimly lit by design. As to the food, the off menu item was a veal chop parm, bone-in with a vodka sauce. The lunch special was a lobster casserole, and the appetizer was their version of fried calamari. I wanted to love the veal chop, it looked great on presentation and I will include a photo, My issue with was it was pounded thin, with a thick coating around it rendering it, tough and the meat itself was really not juicy, considering all the sauce on it, it came across as kind of dry and the sauce wasn't helping the experience, it was adding another bland taste to it. The best part was the melted cheese. The chop wasn't bad, but I just wasn't thrilled by the flavor, or texture for the cost. It came with some pasta with the same sauce and I left most of that. The lobster casserole looked and tasted good. My issue with it was, it was not much seafood for the money. One large scallop, one half a small lobster tail, one small lobster claw and a small amount of crab meat. Most of the shellfish was out of shell. I think there might have been a shrimp or two also, but overall for the cost, it seemed skimpy being in New England. But from a taste perspective, it was good. Lastly, the appetizer was pretty good, the calamari was tender and they hit it with lemon at the table. The lobster casserole and the calamari were the best items. Overall the experience was okay, it's a nice place with good service.

From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The vibe was spot on, the drinks were thoughtfully crafted, and the food was absolutely worth the trip. We ordered sides of hash browns and bacon. The hash browns were perfectly crispy...exactly how I like them. The bacon had great flavor, though I personally would have loved it a little crispier. Of course, the star of the show was the soufflé pancakes. We tried the Crème Brûlée, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Berry Compote flavors, and every single one was light, fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They were sweet without being overwhelming and perfectly suited our palate. I also tried the pistachio coffee. It was a little more earthy than I typically prefer, but if you're a fan of pistachio-forward flavors, you'll likely enjoy it. Overall, Capri delivered an exceptional breakfast experience.

Only reason I'm giving 1 star still is because the waitress was very nice and what happens in the kitchen is not her fault! I think her name is (Katy?) I can't remember exactly but she was super nice! We got there for 11:30 reservation. Waited 15 minutes before we were seated which I didn't love already because there's no waiting area and nowhere to sit where the restaurant is so you have to stand around waiting for the table. Well by the time we left there I finally understood why we had to wait another 15 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. We ordered our food and drinks and got our drinks fairly quick but the food took way too long considering that it's breakfast items and they didn't have that many tables to begin with even including inside dining. Our pancakes took almost 40 minutes to come out and our sides never even came out with the pancakes which I thought was weird. The sides didn't come out for another almost 15 minutes. By the time everything was out my son was getting fussy so I just asked for everything to be packed up to go. The high chair was also dirty and oily with food still on the sides and not cleaned at all. I was talking to the family that sat next to us because the waiter who brought out their food messed up and brought their sides to another table dropped it off then found out the food was not at the right table and brought it straight to the right table after it's been sitting at the wrong table for a few minutes at that point! That family also said they waited a really long time for their food and their food didn't all come out at the same time either so it seems like this is normal. I also went to ask the hostess how much longer for our food before our pancakes came out few minutes later. She asked me how long it's been since I put in my order I said about 30 min already and she said oh that's sounds about right. So that just proves that food normally take this long to get out to the table! I'm used to way shorter wait times for breakfast foods this just didn't seem normal to me. Let's get to the food! I had the original pancakes with the blueberry and strawberry, got a side of scrambled eggs, sausages, and home fries. For drinks I got a fresh orange juice and my sister got the Dubai chocolate latte. The Dubai chocolate latte was delicious and so was the orange juice but definitely over priced for the portion size, but I guess it's acceptable being federal hill prices for most people? Personally I thought it was way overpriced not just the drinks but everything considering the proportions. The pancakes were ok didn't taste as eggy as I expected being that it's supposed to be more egg based which is totally fine the texture was good. The strawberries on top I thought were going to be fresh strawberries but it seems like it's more of a compote. The scrambled eggs were a little too charred for my liking I've never really had scrambled eggs charred before. Potatoes were ok for the most part in terms of flavor but my sister had some that were still kinda undercooked and hard. The sausages were really flavorful. Overall I don't think we'll be returning or recommend this place for the breakfast at least. Way overpriced and not worth the hype.

First of all, the restaurant itself is small but very cute, cozy, and full of lovely New England-y Sea-Themed decor. We were promptly seated and had our order taken for our drinks & food - I had heard good things about this place, so I got a decent amount of food items, including: Lobster Roll - Arguably the best lobster roll I've ever had so far in my life. The brioche bun for it was soooo fluffy, soft, and a perfect complement to the big, juicy chunks of lobster that were seasoned and buttered JUST right. Also came with hefty and well-seasoned fries. New England Clam Chowder - Came with salted pork and potatoes in addition to the quahog clams. It was deliciously creamy and soothing to slurp on and the chunks within were all so tender and a great contrast. Clam Cakes - Added them to the Clam Chowder order for an extra $8. Big, hefty, doughy balls that were perfectly fried outside and ooey gooey within. Fish & Chips - Big, hefty fish that was juicy & delicious with a great crunch on the outside! Similarly came with the 'chips', or the hefty, well-seasoned fries that the lobster roll also came with. Oh yeah, pardon me, forgetting to mention the drinks! We ordered the Briny Martini and the Harbor House Punch! The Martini was great for a stronger drink and the Punch was a nice cocktail for anyone preferring something sweeter and fruitier. When it came to the food, service, and dining experience...it couldn't have been better! Everything was incredibly delicious and definitely worth ordering. This memorable experience then reached exceptional circumstances, however, as while we were in the middle of dining here and enjoying our delicious food, there was a shooting occurring just up the street at Brown University. I wish to commend the staff at Dune Brothers, who looked out for mine and their other patrons' safety and sheltering us in their restaurant as we all nervously waited for more information on what exactly was going on that evening. Exceptional circumstances aside, this restaurant is also exceptional when it comes to the quality of their food and service. I highly recommend coming here if you're in Providence!

I ended up going alone this time, but I came back with enough leftovers and commentary to share that the whole experience could easily be pieced together in anyone's head pretty clearly. The first thing that stands out is the setup. It's casual in the best possible way. Nothing pretentious, nothing overworked. You walk up, order, wait a bit, and then suddenly you've got seafood in a paper tray that somehow tastes like summer even when you're wedged into a busy city block instead of sitting by the water. There's a kind of controlled chaos to it, especially during peak hours, but it moves. I went with the absolute classics without hesitation: a fried fish sandwich and a side of fries, plus a lobster roll that, frankly, looked like it was built for someone who doesn't believe in restraint. The fish sandwich was the standout. Crisp coating, flaky inside, not greasy in that heavy way that ruins a good fry. The bun held together without collapsing into mush, which is always a small victory in a city seafood spot. The fries were solid, nothing revolutionary, but they did their job without trying to steal attention from the main event. The lobster roll was more of a classic Rhode Island style than anything over-complicated. Generous chunks, lightly dressed, and not drowned in filler. It leaned into freshness rather than gimmicks, which is exactly what you want when you're this close to the water. It didn't feel like it was trying to reinvent anything, just execute the basics well enough that you stop thinking about it and just eat. What I like about places like this is that they don't overpromise. Dune Brothers isn't trying to be a white-tablecloth seafood restaurant, and it doesn't need to be. It's quick, it's reliable, and it feels like it belongs in downtown.

    Wow. If you're looking for a spot that has amazing food, beautiful art and design aspects, friendly…read moreservice, and plates to share, Aguardente is the place for you. A friend and I came in and put our names on the waitlist, waited for about 45 minutes at a bar down the street, and then had some of the most fulfilling tapas ever! We got a Prosciutto & Salpicao board, the Queijo de Cabra, and Frijol Dip. I also got a nice portuguese red wine that paired well with some of the cheese we received. We sat in a very sweet and cozy nook and enjoyed every minute! I will be back when it's warm out and the front patio is open!

    My friend and I came here on Father's Day expecting it to be packed, which it was, but there were…read morestill a few tables available, both inside and outside. At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.
