    Seared Sea Scallops (note - leftovers!)
    Deb R.

    What a Treat! Book Club tonight at Avenue N. It is a cozy neighborhood nook that invites you in with tempting smells and good vibes. Our party of 6 had plenty of room. I did not catch our waiters name however he was great! Very friendly, explained the menu and answered all of our questions. The menu was just right - plenty selections to choose from and the dishes came out piping hot, with a great presentation. Almost too pretty to bite into! The sea scallops were AMAZING. Perfectly seared paired with a killer risotto! The salmon was also a hit at our table. I am already looking forward to going back.

    We stopped in for dinner on a whim after attending an event, and to our surprise, the restaurant was bustling on a Tuesday night. The cozy atmosphere and excellent service made for a nice dining experience. Parking was cavailable on the street. We began by sharing the pork dumplings, which were delicious. For our main courses, we opted for the scallops and seared salmon. Both dishes were flavorful, and we appreciated the generous portion size--five scallops instead of the typical four. With cocktails and a tip included, the total bill came to $130. Overall, we recommend this neighborhood restaurant for its warm ambiance and satisfying cuisine.

    Just went here for dinner and we had a lovely evening. I definitely recommend making a restaurant as it is a cozy vibe inside. I have a gluten allergy and was so pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free breadcrumbs to make the fried oysters. I ordered the scallops which were good. Service was great!

    I saw the glowing reviews on Yelp for Avenue N on Hope Street and decided to check it out with some friends. We arrived at 7 on a Friday night and the dining room was pretty much full- though it wasn't too overwhelming since the tables are spaced apart well. It was a bit energetic and we were seated after several minutes because we had a reservation; I can see it being hard to get a table on a weekend if you don't have a reservation. We sat by the window and were greeted by our server, who was very upbeat and gave us in depth descriptions of their specials for the night. We settled on some of their humorously-named cocktails and ordered some appetizers. After ten minutes, our server arrived back with the fried oysters, wings, Brussel Sprouts and pork baos that we ordered. My favorite was the fried oysters, which were so light and fresh, but all of them were delicious. For my main course, I chose the pan seared scallops which came on a bed of risotto. The presentation for this dish was done very well and the scallops were perfectly cooked. The risotto got a bit repetitive towards the end but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall, my experience at Avenue N was great and I recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a fantastic and modern take on New England cuisine.

    Little gem salad

    Been a loyal patron for about 5 years. The pizzas are always amazing. Have dined in, have gotten take out never had an issue. Until last night. My wife loves the little gem salad, had it probably a dozen times. This would NEVER get served in house. The core of the lettuce was rotting causing all the leaves to have some nasty slimy aspect to them and garde manger or who ever is running that station thought it was cool to send this since odds are maybe 1/20 people Will actually act on it. What a shame. Sigh.

    Pizza - half eggplant and half beef, mushroom, corn - wonderful!

    Amazing pizza that was half beef, mushroom, corn and half eggplant parm ... really wonderful! Gorgeous osso bucco was delicious!

    I came on a Friday evening as a walk in and the host was able to accommodate me right away. I love black truffles and the chef here must love them too. I decided to try their croquettes, made with beef cheek and, you guessed it, black truffle, and malt vinegar aioli with smoked parsnip relish. Absolutely delish, 3 croquettes, crunchy crusty on the outside, gooey truffled bechamel goodness inside. I followed that with their onion and poblano soup gratin, which in addition had gruyere cheese and truffle cream. OMG so delicious and satisfying, I should have stopped there. But I couldn't resist their flourless chocolate torte, with drizzled raspberry sauce and topped with homemade whipped cream. Will need to step up my work outs for a while, but it was worth it!My only concern about this neighborhood eatery was the noise level inside. Maybe next time I'll try an outside table, or arrive a little later in the evening,

    Had a great time at this restaurant! I have been wanting to try it out ever since they moved into the spot and I usually see they are very busy on the weekends. We were able to snag a seat on a weeknight and we're very impressed with the food. I was not super hungry and the waitress suggested that I could get "half orders" or something so I got a half salad and some sliders that were on the appetizer menu and it was perfect! The atmosphere is clean and hip, but not uncomfortable. The prices weren't too bad either for a nice restaurant. Can't wait to try some of the fancy drinks when we come back next time.

    Casual dining ambience
    Marie M.

    Very classy, casual venue. Hubby suggested we come here for dinner and I only had time to briefly glance through the photos before getting ready. The presentation of the dishes in the pictures looked very fancy and upscale, so I decided to put on a dress. Hubby was already wearing a suit for work. I didn't realize this restaurant was located on the East Side of Providence on Hope St., which is a casual hipster location. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer; hubby ordered the salmon with couscous and I ordered the fried oysters, which was thoughtfully served on a bed of salt and a giant slice of lemon and an amazing horseradish dipping sauce--perfect combo. There are only five pieces of oysters, but they are quite filling if you're ordering another appetizer and dessert. The calamari was excellent and so fresh. The flourless chocolate ganache cake was decadent with a guiltless hint of sweetness. The majority of the people there wore preppy casual outfits. Very hipster. I loved the upbeat music in the background and the casual ambiance. It's a popular restaurant, so it was packed but with zero to minimal wait time for seating on a Friday night. I did call ahead for reservation for 2 just to make sure we get seated right away as we were hungry.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Aheli P.

    Wow, what a wonderful find. I'll be honest at first- the menu seemed standard. Interesting salmon, good steak option, calamari. Don't be fooled. This isn't your average American cuisine. It is the best version of all your favorites. We made a last minute Friday reservation and got an amazing table. The calamari is crisp, spicy and perfectly balanced. The scallops in Uni-corn risotto is to die for. The shrimp and grits has an umami flavor that is both familiar and also so so so tasty. The service is great (thanks Tess), and you won't be rushed. It's a chill and fun atmosphere that you won't regret! I would highly recommend for date nights, when you want to chill with friends or family without being rushed.

    Calamari
    Alexandria C.

    Officially one of my new favorite restaurants in providence! When you walk in, there's dim lighting which I particularly enjoyed especially because it made the providence sign stand out. Our waitress was kind and very attentive from the minute we were seated. Now the food was divine, everything was perfect. We ordered the calamari and each ordered the short rib with gnocchi. Every ingredient in that dish complimented each other so well, it was such a lovely culinary experience. My friend also ordered the "only fans" drink which she enjoyed. Will definitely return and can't wait to introduce more family and friends to this restaurant.

    Always hydrate!

There's pop culture references papered all over the walls, an old school wooden bar and a small dining room that could double as an intimate event space Our bartender was super nice, he let us know what was available to order since the full kitchen wasn't open when we went. We were there for the wings anyway, as RI Food Fights brought us here. We got the Maple Bacon Bourbon wings, a side of fries and the giant pretzel The wings were good! Not super crispy but the glaze coated them well and clung to the wing nicely. The menu said they were smoked before they were fried, but outside of the generous amount of bacon bits that were part of the glaze, I didn't get much smoke in the meat itself. Otherwise, we liked the glaze. The fries are the more expensive, clear coat kind that hold their crisp longer, which I appreciate. They were great plain or with ketchup. The pretzel was warm and perfectly soft. The beer cheese that came with it was excellent. And the blue cheese dressing was as well that we got with the wings. It had a great blue cheese flavor without giant chunks of cheese. They also offer pizza and a number of handhelds that all looked interesting, so I'll have to come back soon when the full kitchen is open!

Amazing craft beer menu, but I wish there was more of a cider selection. I'm an absolute creature of habit so I typically get the same menu items but everything is amazing. I believe that between four and six you can order either Nashville or Smashburger sliders for like seven bucks and a side of hand cut fries for like five. I would suggest doing that if you want to leave room for dessert. Otherwise, the Nashville chicken sandwich is literally the best chicken Sammy you'll ever eat in your life. They offer two types of fries and they're both good but the hand cut ones are life-changing. You'll never order fries from anywhere else ever again and enjoy them. The pit craft mac & cheese is creamy, cheesy, wonderful. The Smashburger is equally amazing. Forget five guys or anywhere else really. Truly the best burger. Anything smoked (burnt ends, pulled pork, all of it, delicious. If you have room for dessert, I highly suggest the waffles. They almost taste like they're candied with a little bit of caramelized sugar and served with a berry compote, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream... I can't explain it, but they are absolutely delicious. So put on some stretchy pants and go stuff your face here. Ask for Jalice, she's the sweetest. Owner Jared and Beth are wonderful. They always listen to feedback and are constantly improving. I believe right now they're working on the backyard and I can't wait until it's open. Overall great place to get some barbecue and dessert.

I had a hard time choosing between the Pretty In Pink strawberry lager and the Apple Pie Seltzer, but the PIP was actually all out (so sad!!) so I went with the seltzer. It had a strong almost artificial scent, but a much more mild flavor. It wasn't too sweet and had notes of cinnamon - very unique and drinkable, although I don't think I'd need more than one. I was surprised and pleased to see they have a food menu. There's a pretty big parking lot but it's very uneven and filled with pot holes, and people park a little...erm...creatively - you've been warned. On weekends I've seen the main and overflow lot fill up, and I couldn't even find street parking, so had to go elsewhere - plan accordingly. The tap room is big and has nice bathrooms that are always clean. The main seating option are long picnic table benches - my back personally cannot do a backless seat for more than an hour without being in pain, so take that into consideration. It's also kind of awkward to swing your legs into the seat every time you have to get up, especially if it's full and you're in the middle. I'd love this place so much more if it just got normal tables and individual chairs with backs! My favorite thing about this brewery is that it is dog friendly and there are usually multiple gorgeous furry faces here to oggle over.
