One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Low key but special atmosphere, awesome food, and a great price point. The kind of place that is great for outdoor seating in the summer but also to have a romantic meal watching the snow fall outside.

In the lower level, there is a self-guided introduction to the history of Roger Williams, the church, and therefore Providence. I recommend it as the first stop on a Providence history tour.
