    Bund cake
    Rebecca C.

    3.5 stars. The food is so so overall. The best one was fried whole fish. Fried bass fried with crispy outer layer, super tender meat that's flavorful (vs bland). Skip the brussel sprout, calamari, shishito pepper, and burrata salad (didn't like these). Other dishes that are worth ordering are tuna tartar appetizer, Roni pizza, fried artichoke hearts, and banana pudding (better if it's served warm) The service was so so. Brought flat water vs sparkling, and didn't bring enough water glasses and sharing plates. We had to go to the bar to ask for these each time. Nice ambience on the rooftop but can get cold during the night. They would benefit from having some heat warmers in the main dining area on the rooftop. Prosecco was pretty good.

    Outdoor by the firepit

    Came here on a Tuesday afternoon while it was 70 degrees out. We got a seat by the fire pit. Fire pits are shared but it wasn't a busy day and they are large so there's lots of space between the 2 of us and other guests seated opposite from us. It's a great outdoor space for nice weather. I also like that there's an indoor space made of glass so you can still feel outdoor while indoor. We got some drinks and appetizers. Rhode Island Calamari - top 5 best I've ever had. The batter was super light and texture was perfectly cooked and came with an aoili sauce. 5/5 Yucca Fries 4/5 Lamb meatballs- mix of lamb and beef. I was surprised by how many meatballs you get and how big they are- I do wish they were slightly cooked more or at least crispier or charred on the outside. The pita bread was toasted a little too long. It didn't go well with the other items we got so I don't want to rate it too harshly but independently I'd give it 4/5 Service was fine, everything was served quickly.

    Rooftop at Prov G is a nice chill out spot for dinner and drinks with a dj playing all the hits. You do have to take an elevator up to the rooftop once off the elevator you have about 2-3 step where you will be asked for id. There is valet parking. They have a bar but no barstools on this night. You can have your meal near the fire pit but keep in mind there is a $55 pp to sit there or you can sit at a table for free. We sat at a table near the end corner to enjoy the night view as we only went for drinks. The staff, waitress were all nice. I would say this is a younger crowd but older adults can also go seeing it is downtown. If you valet your car they ask for your phone number and once you're ready to leave you can text the number and they will get your car ready.

    My husband and I came here on a cold Saturday night in February, winter and full swing. We weren't able to enjoy the rooftop as much as we'd like to because of the weather, however, we were still able to go outside and imagine how wonderful it is with temperate weather and the fireplace outside. We only came for drinks for a quick date night out, but it's definitely a spot that will come backto. My coffee milk espresso martini was fantastic and the CALAMARI!!!! I would 10 out of 10 have it again. The vibes. there were pretty awesome, chill crowd, not overrun with a ton of folks... Granted there was supposed to be a blizzard that night. The next time we're in Providence I'm sure that we will come back around!

    I recently went to the Rooftop to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a Tuesday night so the vibe was very lowkey which was perfect for us. We sat at the firepit. It is nice and cozy at the firepit, but definitely better to have drinks there vs a meal. It is communal so other people will be sitting around the firepit with you and your party. The service was solid everyone was very friendly and dishes/drinks came out quickly. We mostly stuck with the appetizers. My friend was all about the crab dip and I really enjoyed the fried artichoke hearts. Dessert options were limited, but we still liked the banana bread pudding. Would I like this place as much when it's super crowded, no. But for a weeknight it was a lovely setting for low key dinner and drinks.

    Rooftop Burger

    Met some old friends here for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday night. We were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Our server was just as prompt and was both friendly and attentive throughout our experience. Wish my receipt had her name so I could give her credit for her efforts. I was expecting a bustling madhouse since it was such a beautiful night but surprisingly, it wasn't that busy. Cocktail menu was fairly comprehensive, had many tequila based drinks but very few whiskey drinks (it's fall in NE and my mind goes to maple manhattans). Price was around $15 which I think is reasonable for a down city spot with views. Beer menu lacked depth and had almost no local craft brews but the prices were fair. Food was decent but nothing out of this world. I had the burger and it was cooked perfectly but a little drenched in the aioli for my liking. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The chicken had good flavor but was a little overcooked. Overall, I think this is a great place to grab a few drinks with a view before you go to dinner or possibly for an aperitif.

    Oysters happy hour half price
    Jude B.

    It is an interesting location with a roof of glass and a patio with firepits and comfy chairs. It's a worth see city building view and a partial sunset over buildings. Our service was very good and brought us the happy hour menu so we beat the prices by half on appetizers. And that was a good thing cause it was mediocre food. Lamb meatballs were ok, but needed more lamb and a better sear. The corn "ribs" were seasoned well and funky for sure... cut rows of corn. Breaded cauliflower bites were a kinda hard in spots making the bites uneven in texture. Lastly I enjoyed Jamestown oysters in half shell for $2 happy hour price, fantastic. Nice super Tuscan wine and chocolate tort for dessert was tasty.

    Pizza

    If it's a bit chilly outside, i'd recommend sitting next to the fire. I had a sleeveless top on but the fire kept me so warm, i could barely notice the cold weather. If I hadn't sat next to the fire I probably would've froze since I didn't bring a jacket. The cocktails were absolutely delicious. I'd recommend splitting the pizza with another person as it was a pretty large serving. Great service too! Our waitress was attentive.

    Fried Calamari with garlic butter

    Came here for my mom's birthday. Not only were all the dishes we got amazing and unique, but the service was amazing. I got the birthday special and they took flowers in advance and gave them to my mom as they brought the cake and sparkling candle :)

    Crab dip
    Sara L.

    Excellent service and great drinks. I enjoyed the white cosmo while my husband got the frozen pina colada. We also split the crab dip. Excellent ambience with open air seating.

    Most of the Food was great. Ambiance too. We sat outside at the fire pit which was lovely. However, we waited almost 20 minutes for a server (we had a reservation) after we had to flag someone down from inside to inquire if someone was going to wait on us. Jefrey (the executive chef) came to our aid and was wonderful shortly after a manager came and brought us waters and took our order. A server finally arrived with my drink about 15 minutes later which was the UltraViolet (delicious) but missing the sugared rim & edible orchid (which I was told they had run out of yesterday due to a large party)...oh well. Another person in my party asked for a warm water w/a slice of lemon & received a mug of hot water with a few tea bags ($3.50) ‍. I'm not even sure who our server technically was bc a couple different people came with drink vs food vs check. So it was not an enjoyable experience like I had been anticipating for weeks. My Burrata was just ok, kinda slimy and soggy & the crostini was burnt. The Margherita pizza was cold and soggy also, the Rooftop burger and fries was delicious & cooked to perfection. Also the Chicken & Dumpling soup was delicious. Maybe they were under staffed...idk but it was very disappointing & not just for us; the party next to us also waited forever with no service & each person went into the bar to retrieve drinks themselves. Too bad bc the location is so lovely.

    I have a birthday dinner reservation on Friday night. What kind of music and crowd should we expect?

    Top 40/hip hop/house....it does get packed with a diverse crowd

    I'm planning a bachelorette party for august. Was thinking about rooftop for after dinner. Was wondering if this place has music or a DJ on Saturday nights?

    Yes to both. It gets packed so I recommend bottle service which isn't too expensive when considering cost of all your drinks and keeps you somewhat out of the fray.

The venue itself is spacious and handled a large crowd well. The multiple margarita stations were a great touch and added to the experience, though a few could have used a bit more ice as the day went on. There was a long line for tacos and at one point we had to wait for fresh batches, which slowed things down a bit. I also wish there were more options for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions. That said, we enjoyed connecting with a mix of new vendors and familiar faces, which made it feel like a great local event. The nachos from Casa Azul Taqueria were definitely a highlight. We also loved the photo booth, it was hysterically fun trying to switch props in three seconds. Another standout was making succulents with @sassysucculentsri, such a fun and unique addition to the event. Medici staff were friendly and kept things moving during a very busy event, which I appreciated. The music added to the energy, though it was a little loud at times. One small note, GPS brought me to the wrong entrance, but signage helped once I got close. It was a fun experience overall. A few tweaks would make it even better, but I'd absolutely check out another event here.

    This is the definition of a TRUE speakeasy…read more Grad Center Bar originated as a beer bar and expanded to cocktails, wines, and more. I cannot tell you how much I love this place. Entry is $10, or $35 annual memberships (start September every year). The prices of the cocktails are so reasonable and rare to see in Providence at $10 to $12. The beer offerings vary from cans or draft, with impressive offerings such as Bissell Brothers from Portland, Maine. As someone in their 30s, I do give warning this is more an undergrad/grad place so late hours are usually crowded with students (after 9pm).

We got a green tea shot to get our night started - Jameson whiskey, peach schnapps, sour mix, sprite. Very refreshing and goes down pretty easily, can't even taste the alcohol but it's definitely there! Such a chill place to wind down and catch up with buddies! Maybe play a game of pool while you're at it!

I walked up to a random table looking at the bottle menu and expected someone to come to my attention... but that didn't happen. luckily i knew one of the cocktail waitress what was working and order a bottle of henny ($275). They service the bottle of Henny with orange juice, cranberry juice and pineapple juice; this is a bit odd since you would expect this from a clear liquor such as belvedere or gray goose... but what ever, they need to work on their protocol behind the bar...

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.
