    I didn't see anything of the dinner special menu that I had a taste for so I went with the steak tips with a side of mashed potatoes and a salad. The salad with the balsamic dressing was a very good starter. The steak tips were good except some weren't cooked well enough for me. Tyler was my waiter and he was good but forgot my bread and butter. Other than those 2 incidents everything was fine. I never had this problem before and hope not to encounter it again. Nice relaxing ambiance here the game is on tonight so there are a few people in here to watch he game .

    Went for lunch today and it was just ok. Started with the Portuguese soup and was good, warm not hot. We split the shrimp Mozambique pizza and the steak alla Berta. The pizza crust seemed overcooked and stale to me. After taking my first bite I regretted not getting the regular shrimp Mozambique with rice. The steak dish was good too but the sauce it came with did not blow me away like other reviews claim. Our sever was not attentive at all, our drinks were always empty and she just wasn't friendly. Whoever cleaned our table off did show us a huge plate of desserts and he was super nice and funny.

    My friend and I ate here as part of the RI Food Fights event, Lord of the Wings. They're open for lunch and dinner, we got there around 3. The interior has a few dining spaces and a bar that was about half full. Standard family restaurant vibes, you get a sense this is a place that has a lot of regulars. Our server was adequate enough, I suppose. She did the basics of the job. We ordered the spicy honey wings they were offering for the event and I got a cocktail. The cocktail was a kind of margarita and not too sweet. Not really memorable otherwise. The wings were a little small and fried too hard. While the drumettes could handle it, the flats took a beating. And the sauce was like a reduced honey texture, almost. We didn't get any heat or any other flavor from it, so it was a miss for us. The table next to us had some nice looking pasta and a burger so maybe wings aren't what to come here for.

    I went to the Red Bridge Tavern in East Providence for the RI Food Fight's Lowd of the Wings challenge. I hadn't read the fine print on my coupon and didn't see they were only good at Red Bridge Monday - Thursday. However, they took pity on me (given it was the last day) and served me their spicy honey glaze. As a bonus, the bartender gave me a lemon water bowl to dip my fingers. Very fancy! Honestly, it worked so well, I think this should be standard with wings! As for the wings, they were tender and fell off the bone. The sauce was mildly spicy with a nice sweet honey taste. Very good!

    I think we visited the Red Bridge Tavern on the wrong night, given the large number of great reviews I've read for this restaurant. We had an awesome experience here on our first visit and were excited to go back, but last night we found it just so-so at best. Ordered drinks to start and the drinks were probably the best part of our visit. The smokey old fashioned was pretty cool to watch when it was burning, capturing the smoke, and creating the smoky flavor. For food, we ordered the chipotle burger which was just kind of average. We also got the RBT appetizer combo which included fried mozzarella, wings, chicken tenders, potato skins, and eggplant fries. Again, just kind of average with no standouts except for the eggplant fries which stood out for being really soggy and pretty bad. We also got the chourico and cheese dip. The dip was great, but the amount of chips provided was kind of skimpy, and when we asked for more chips so we could finish the dip, we were told there would be a $3 upcharge. Lastly, the service. We had two servers, a male and a female. Service was very prompt and the female server was friendly, but the male server must have been having a bad day and really seemed like he would rather have been anywhere else other than at the restaurant. He even walked away when we took a few extra seconds to check over the bill before handing it back to him with our cards. All in all, we probably won't go back anytime soon.

    RI Food Fight- Wings 2024 Review: This is our second time to Red Bridge. The first time was for a family dinner. I remember that we were all happy with the experience and my meal was good. Pleasantly surprised by this little place. We went yesterday with our Wing coupon for the competition. As soon as we showed our waitress (who turned out to be the owner) our coupon she immediately blurted out: we are out of wings! I felt deflated as we drove over the bridge just for the wings (so RI.) She explained that they order fresh wings and she might have some frozen but the fresh are so good. She refused to take our coupon, mentioned it multiple times that we should return and try their fresh wings but we have kids and busy schedules. This was their one crack at the apple! We got the last order of frozen wings and it was a spicy honey sauce. The frozen wings were like the kind you get at a small, local pizza shop. Nothing amazing. The sauce was ok and they DO NOT have the good blue cheese here! My husband ordered a Super Boch because he stated they don't carry it a lot of places. I ordered a oreo cake slice. Let's break down the oreo cake for a minute... It was like a pudding placed on top of a thin layer of chocolate cake and it looked like crushed oreo on top but it wasn't tasting like an oreo cookie broken up with the cream or crunchy bits. It wasn't terrible but not the flavor bomb I was hoping for.

    Well then! This was not what i was expecting for a tavern... drinks were amazing, best octopus I've ever had! Large portions! Bar, table, and high top seating. Small parking lot and street parking. Wait staff and kitchen staff was all attentive and super kind and personable.we are only upset we haven't gone sooner!

    OMGGGG if I could give this place 6 stars I would!! You need to try the steamers, they were so delicious I wished we ordered 2 lbs.!!!!! Stoped in for a snack and drink with my friend on a Sunday afternoon. Please try this restaurant, it's cute and cozy inside with a family atmosphere. The server was quick, attentive and friendly!!

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.

We ordered drinks before the meal. I had a Vermont Red Ale for the first time which was very good and worth remembering. At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston.

    A weird experience.... We walked in and waited by the front door and the "Please wait to be seated"…read moresign for a few minutes. No one helped us, so we walked to the bar and ordered. The bartender told us the drinks were covered by the host, which is when we realized it was a private party in the entire space. We told them we weren't part of the party and paid for drinks, but apparently we never should've been let in. No one stopped us at the front door. No sign. No post on their website saying they were closed for a private event. No post on their Instagram. Feels like whatever system they were trying to implement to enforce a private party totally broke down. The employees were very nice about it at the very least. We got two drinks: the Isuzu and the grape cobbler. The grape cobbler was okay - sweet but not much else going on. The Isuzu was SO bitter and I didn't like it.

The texture was not pleasing to my palate, though I ate half of it. I also opted for a lemon drop martini, which was ok. The owner came over and we discovered his birthday was that day. As a bd treat to me, he sent over what looked like gigantic onion rings. Actually it was dehydrated onions, loaded with mozzarella cheese. The outside was crispy and the inside was gooey. This is totally happy food. Both my sister and I are so looking forward to returning.
