    espresso martini

    I visited the Walnut Room on a Saturday night and it was pretty packed. Very speakeasy-esque and intimate lighting. Probably better for a private conversation on a weeknight. I tried their espresso martini - pretty good, would recommend. It's a pretty small location, so sitting at the bar or a long the walls is ideal. Would definitely come back again!

    Had a great chance to try this place on a Monday. The bartender was friendly and helpful. The drink was very good and the ambiance was kinda cool because it was like old school. Loved the drink names too.

    Small dark bar with cozy booths and lots of purple velvet. Awesome spot for a pre or post dinner drink.

    The Walnut Room is a fancy cocktail bar with strong satisfying drinks. Great vibes, efficient service, and seating for both groups and couples. I like the location, theres plenty of street parking on south Main Street.

    When I first walked in, I was really excited about the small bar vibe. Decor is super unique and the view looks out to the water which is really cool. When I go to a small bar, one of the thinks I appreciate is staff that speaks with customers and is super welcoming. Unfortunately that wasn't the case at the bar. The two bartenders were talking really loudly about personal matters and didn't really say much to customers. The drink itself was unique. Sweet but fresh. I've never had a hazelnut drink before but it was quite good.

    This place is so cool!! Love the speakeasy bar vibe and the cocktails were great. Had an Americano ($10), an Espresso Martini ($14) and the La Louisiane ($12). The bartender was amazing too. He knew his stuff and was cranking out tons of drinks on the busy night. Definitely be back!

    Great spot for a date! We went in after dinner on a Friday night. It was fairly busy while we were there. We ordered two drinks and both were good. I ordered the traveling man and would give it a 5/5. The staff were friendly and attentive and the ambiance was great. It was listed under a speakeasy, but I didn't get the speakeasy vibe, but it was a great place to go back to. Lights were low with a candle at our table. There were curtains, but they were open to view in and out to the street.

    I love a good dim bar. Felt like a gentleman's cigar bar vibe. Very classy and relaxed decor. The bartender was knowledgeable and fast making drinks. I'd recommend if your into classy cocktails and willing to pay for quality.

    One of my regular stops. Drinks are great, staff is kind, and the place is immaculate. A nice getaway from the downtown scene.

My friend got the same and enjoyed his. We also got the nectarine salad which was delicious and the loaded falafel fries which were I got the black cherry cider which was excellent My friend got a cocktail with mezcal called hello Daisy which was excellent The reason I'm knocking off a star is because the burger didn't come with anything, no sides fries etc. the price is pretty high given the quantity quality of food etc. We sat inside and everything was great they have outdoor seating as well. Parking is on the street. Another thing I didn't like is they charge a kitchen fee. No matter it comes out of their tip but I think it's a little bit weird I think this would be a great place to get a drink. The food was very good and on point but given the price point it's a bit on the high Overall I would come back for the bar but not in a rush for the food for the price point

Needless to say, it was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special family evening. Thankfully, a quick call to Aguardente in Fox Point changed everything. The person who answered explained that they weren't taking reservations that evening, but they did have one outdoor table left if we could make it there in time. Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

    Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.

    Somehow, despite having lived here for years and spending plenty of time around downtown…read moreProvidence, I had never been to The Eddy. I'm honestly not sure how I missed it, because this is exactly the kind of place I like finding. It is the true definition of a small cocktail bar. The space is tiny, intimate, and has a very specific atmosphere, so if you're looking for a big place with plenty of tables, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a great cocktail in a cozy little bar, however, you're in the right place. The cocktail menu is excellent. There are a lot of creative options that go well beyond the standard collection of Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, and Martinis you'll find at most bars. The drinks are imaginative without becoming gimmicky, and the combinations we tried were really well balanced and interesting. You can tell there is some serious thought behind the cocktail program, and it makes ordering something new a lot of fun. Our waitress was fantastic as well. My wife ordered a drink that apparently isn't something every bartender is familiar with, so our waitress went back to the bartender to ask about it. The bartender immediately knew exactly what she was talking about, which was a nice little reminder that these people actually know their drinks. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy without hovering over us. The music deserves a mention, too. It was fantastic and fit the atmosphere perfectly. The Eddy has that comfortable, slightly dark cocktail-bar feeling where you can sit down, have a drink, listen to good music, and actually enjoy being there rather than feeling like you're sitting in a loud restaurant waiting for someone to bring you your check. My only real warning is that this place is genuinely small. That is part of its charm, but it also means getting in and finding a seat can be difficult at times, particularly when it's busy. You probably shouldn't show up with a large group expecting to immediately find a table. For two people looking for a couple of really good cocktails, though, it's pretty much ideal. The prices are also quite reasonable for the quality of the drinks. You're obviously paying cocktail-bar prices rather than dive-bar prices, but I didn't feel like we were being taken advantage of. Considering the creativity and quality of what we were drinking, I thought the prices were perfectly fair. I'm actually a little annoyed that I went this long without knowing The Eddy existed. Providence has so many cocktail bars that you can spend years here and still keep discovering places you've somehow walked past a hundred times. The Eddy is definitely going on the list of places we need to come back to, and we will 100% be back.

    We actually ended up at Yellow Door Taqueria somewhat by accident. We were doing one of our usual…read morebrewery and cocktail crawls around Providence this past weekend and had planned on stopping at Bayberry, but apparently every time we tried to go there they had a wedding and weren't open to the public. So, Plan B it was, and honestly, I'm glad we ended up here. Yellow Door has a really fun atmosphere. The playlist was lively, the place gradually filled up while we were there, and the whole space has a vibrant, welcoming feel without becoming obnoxiously loud or chaotic. It's very aesthetically pleasing, with a colorful, modern look that fits the whole taco-bar concept perfectly. It feels like somewhere you could drop in for a couple of drinks and tacos with friends and just hang out for the evening. Our bartender was really nice and attentive, and the cocktails were probably the highlight of the visit for me. The drink menu is extensive, and there are plenty of interesting options rather than the usual handful of margaritas and beer. Everything we had was well balanced and well made. Providence has been having something of a cocktail renaissance lately, and Yellow Door fits right into that trend. The food was good, although I have to be honest about the birria taco we tried. It was tasty, but it wasn't exactly a life-changing taco, and it was on the small side for the price. I was expecting something that would make me immediately understand why everyone gets so excited about birria, and this one didn't quite get there. That said, "good but not mind-blowing" is still good, and I'm not going to knock an entire restaurant because one taco didn't knock my socks off. We only tried a small portion of the menu, so there's plenty more to explore. That's actually one of the reasons we'll be back. I want to try some of the other food, and I'd like to come on a different night to see how the atmosphere feels when we're not in the middle of a weekend crawl. Sometimes a place hits differently when you actually sit down, order a few things and give the menu a proper chance rather than treating it as one stop on a larger evening. Overall, Yellow Door Taqueria is a very solid four stars. The atmosphere is fun, the space is attractive, the bartenders are friendly, and the cocktails are genuinely good. The food we tried was good, although the birria taco didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Still, there's enough here that I'm interested in coming back and trying more, which is ultimately a pretty good endorsement. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be worth keeping on the list.

Taco Tuesday meant $5 for a select few tacos - I had the dorado taco (delicious - could have used some acidity from a lime wedge). 3:00 began happy hour (half price tacos and margaritas). Jalapeño margaritas are wonderful. I had a chili duck taco (solid), carnitas taco (great) and a queso carne taco (surprisingly tender steak). Great food and great drinks at a great price (due to both taco Tuesday and happy hour), but the main factor was the great, enthusiastic service from Justin. There were roughly a dozen customers and he never missed a minute. Even while washing dishes etc he was upbeat and joking with me and all the other customers. I will definitely return!
