I'd been itching to try Bayberry Beer Hall ever since I heard about it. It opened up on the West Side of Providence near some other excellent restaurants and some fantastic local breweries. With the little craft beer and restaurant boom happening in that area, I had high hopes for Bayberry. It turned out to... Continue Reading →
La Mei Hot Pot Restaurant Review – Providence, RI
Soup is not something I used to think of as a meal on its own. It was an appetizer or snack at best because I was used to eating soups from a can or cups of clam chowder before the real meal arrives. It wasn't until I had my first bowl of pho and then... Continue Reading →
Kleos Greek Restaurant Review – Providence, RI
Greek food and Rhode Island have had a rocky history in that other than the annual Greek festivals and fantastic home cooking from the Greek communty, the state is almost devoid of excellent Greek food. That is, until Kleos showed up on the scene. The owners of Kleos also own Rosalina, which has its own... Continue Reading →
Bywater Restaurant Review – Warren, RI

Eli’s Kitchen Restaurant Review – Warren, RI
I've been holding out on sharing this review of Eli's Kitchen for two reasons. The first is that I wanted to make sure I had enough photos to capture some of the wonderful food. The second is that I wasn't sure I wanted the word to get out about how incredible this little restaurant actually is... Continue Reading →
Table Restaurant Review – Barrington, RI
We stumbled upon Table while looking for somewhere new to eat just east of Providence, RI. A quick internet search brought up a small restaurant called, "Table." It seemed like a nice place with relatively easy access right off of route 114. Like many small restaurants, the hours can be a little wonky, so call... Continue Reading →
