On the same day by sheer coincidence my wife and I both received recommendations from colleagues at work to try Camelia of Istanbul in East Providence, RI for kabobs. Prior to becoming Camelia of Istanbul, the restaurant was owned by a Lebanese family that called it "La Camelia Restaurant." With the changing of hands to... Continue Reading →
Red Stripe Brasserie – Providence, RI
I've been to Red Stripe a few times over the years and I've always enjoyed my experiences there. This time, my wife and I met two friends for dinner. We talked and ate, but by the end of the night all four of us had the same thought of, "Why don't we come here more... Continue Reading →
Enoteca Umberto – Providence, RI
I've said it before that despite its reputation, it's actually hard to find great food on Federal Hill aside from a few restaurants. Luckily, a relatively new addition to Federal Hill in Providence, makes me eat those words (pun intended)! A friend who ate at Enoteca Umberto before suggested that my wife and I meet her...

Broadway Bistro – Providence, RI
It took about 12 years for me to reconnect with a friend from high school because she happened to coincidentally befriend my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) during their medical residency. As a result of these new connections made and old connections revitalized, we've had the benefit of dining out from time to time... Continue Reading →
Ichigo Ichie – East Providence, RI
There are a lot of mixed reviews about Ichigo Ichie. I've been there a few times and I am also unsure of how I feel about this restaurant. There are some excellent parts of it and you can easily go to the restaurant two times in a row, but still get a completely different experience... Continue Reading →
Ken’s Ramen – Providence, RI
I was introduced to ramen noodles fairly late in life as far as I'm concerned. Nonetheless, I've been making up for it by trying different restaurants offering this hearty Japanese soup. There has been a ramen-boom in RI and Massachusetts relatively recently and new restaurants are popping up more than ever. I'm not sure why... Continue Reading →
G Pub – Providence, RI
While looking for somewhere new to meet up with a couple of friends for dinner, my wife found G Pub and suggested we try it. The four of us met at the restaurant, eager to try something new in Providence. We had a great time hanging out, but the atmosphere and food at G Pub... Continue Reading →

Harry’s Bar and Burger – Providence, RI
I've been to Harry's a couple of times and very much enjoyed my food. The first time was when out of nowhere my wife suggested that we go out for sliders. I incredulously jumped at the opportunity because it's not often that her refined palate is aimed at a burger joint. The second time was when... Continue Reading →
