    Scallops
    Mike P.

    There's no restaurant quite like Tumblesalts. It's a wonderful adventure just going from room to room. The menu has something for everyone and it's all been delicious. Very rare to find Beef Wellington, but joyously there it was. I loved every bit. My friend had the scallops and enjoyed that as well. The chocolate peanut butter dessert and the pistachio cheesecake were top notch. Leah was a fantastic server! Very thoughtful. The owner dropped by to check in which was a nice touch. Look forward to the next visit. Even with the panic inducing traffic that is Mineral Spring!

    We to Tumblesalts for first time, had sunday lunch with my best friend. It was highly recommended by someone who lives in that neighborhood. It was not busy and we were shown different seating areas to choose from. There were a few tables taken in the dinning room but the pub area was empty so we sat there. Our waitress, i think who's name was Amara (or maybe Mara) was very attentive and friendly. The meals came out quickly and were great. My friend really loved the pear salad, said was the best salad she's had in a long time. I really loved my wings, 10 piece, and at a great price. The portions were great. The menu is very big, so many options! There is also a big drinks menu. Overall we liked it and would go back.

    Very disappointed. Took forever for our order to come. Over 1 hr only to have a vegan burger arrive with blue cheese and bacon on it. No apologies. Took another 45 minutes to get what was ordered. By that time our girls night out was ruined and none of us could eat since our friend never got her meal/was forced to bring it home when it finally arrived. You all must know how wonderful a reheated veggie burger and bun is....and my friend was even asked "do you still want the fries with that?" No your customer would like no fries, no burger, no bun and charge her full price with zero apology!! Service was subpar. Finished our bread and drinks and couldn't get waitresses attention to get a second beverage/more bread. Hey our friend was starving and had nothing to eat after all! Manager also did not apologize or offer any compensation or otherwise. Customer service is severely lacking here. Too bad.....the decor and atmosphere is amazing!!!! I'd skip eating here.....you might be forced to bring food home and it might be the wrong food entirely.

    Hey my fans. This restaurant located in Johnston was again my first time their. The place has 3 or places separate from each other. The interior is clean and well kept. We sat down right away and was greeted by the waitress Beth. I had her make me a Tito's and ginger beer to my liking. Fabulous and had a few of them! We ordered classic Calamari, a good size portion. Very good by the way. Then I had the filet medium rare with shrimp. The steak was spot on when I asked for medium rare. Beth would always come by and check on us. Definitely go back. We went at 530 and was a perfect time to go. The prices were reasonable. Oh and the bathrooms were immaculate! Nice! I'll be back to checkout more of this place!

    Enjoyed another great meal in our local gem, Tumblesalts Cafe. It is such a great location with ease of access right on Mineral Spring Ave and moments from Route 295. This outing I had the Chicken Alfredo Bake Pasta, which also had proocuto, olives and large mushrooms. My wife had the mini wellis(Beef Wellington), with mash potatoes and fresh green beans! Service, location and great dishes. Worth a visit I assure you

    First, I want to say I love the ambiance here. The rooms have their own personality from the tavern, the cafe, the lounge, and the roof bar. They recently added a separate but connected business called the pizza station, and they're added a martini bar where the hopscotch room was. The service is decent here, although recently their phone was out of service, and I had to drive there to make a reservation because no one could reach anyone by phone. The food quality is okay. Salads are good, and portions are very good. Unfortunately, certain Italian entrees like lasagna were below average. I'm Italian and previously worked in my father's Italian restaurant and later had my own restaurant for a short time. So i definitely know how to cook. I think the lasagna could have had more ricotta cheese, and the beef should have been mixed with the sauce. Beyond the food, the drinks really need improvement. 14.00 mixed drinks like Pina colada and margaritas were ridiculous in price, especially not being top shelf for that price and not being made right. They tasted like liquor store pre mixed drinks.

    First time coming here for dinner on a Thursday night. It wasn't busy so that was good for us. The place is pretty big! I liked the layout of it. The food was good. We sat outside and it was kind of private. Will come back to try their pizza!

    Providence's own version of CHEERS…read more I've been here several times now and consider the Ivy Tavern to be the best bar in Providence. The customers are all super nice, unique, and interesting humans. Moreover, the staff of AAJJMO --- Alex, Allen, Josh, Julia, Mike, and Olivia --- are incredibly friendly, witty, and funny. The cocktails and food are also outstanding - I especially recommend the bimbap bowl, fish and chips, korean wings, and burger. You will also find the service to be top notch. The bartenders/servers gird up their loins and exhibit extreme hustle during peak hours, while still being able to charm you with a wink or a joke as they move from table to table. If you have not been to the Ivy in the past few years, I highly recommend it. Since Allen was hired as manager a few years ago, the place has become one of Providence's hidden gems.

    Rating: 3.5 stars…read more The food was good, but not worth the price. The burger didn't taste like anything special and the bun just tasted like it was pulled right from the store-bought bag. Similarly, the fries were definitely from a freezer bag of french fries and barely had salt or pepper. Basically it tasted like what you'd have at like a backyard cookout? TLDR: fine, but it shouldn't cost $18 + tip. For this price I expect a nice toasted bun & homemade fries & a bit more flavor. They also messed up my order which is not a big deal but the waiter came back to the table to confirm my order and when he repeated it back, he had the temperature and the cheese wrong. It was then brought to me with tomato but no lettuce-- I had asked for lettuce with no tomato. The waiter was nice though!

We sat, and then the music came on - a bit too loud and not something I was excited to hear during dinner. Since we were the only two people besides staff, I figured it might be okay to ask them to lower the volume or maybe change the tunes. Got a firm no on the volume as well as the selection.

The burger I got was excellent, they were able to accommodate my food allergies, and the service was lovely. Unfortunately, it was louder than any bar I've been to in a decade. I don't know if it's normally like this on a Saturday night, or whether it was the individual parties that were happening there, but we literally had people jumping up and down behind us with more than one large group that was whooping and cheering intermittently, such that we had to absolutely scream to be heard by the folks at our table. I left hoarse. It was more like a club than a tavern the night we visited. Heads up--the ladies room is a single room, with no separate mirror/make up space. There were a lot of women who wanted to touch up or actually use the facilities the night we visited. Prepare for a line. We ultimately left and had a better social experience at the bar right across the street. I would definitely return to The Congress Tavern for lunch... but I wouldn't go back on a Saturday night.

I like their " big mac " sliders with a side of waffle fries, but their shoe string fries are also tasty. They also have shareable " fish bowl " cocktails for 2 - 5 people, and I like the " Shark Attack " - you get a rubber ducky and candy on the bottom! They also have desserts - churros, smores, & fried oreos. So delicious and good portion. The outdoor patio is nice to sit at for large parties, but there's a good amount of seating inside as well. The staff are also really nice, and service is quick and attentive - even on a busy night. Wish there were more spots like this in RI!!
