    Buffal Caesar Wrap
    R.J. P.

    Consistently delicious food every time I order. Twice I've had one of the best sandwiches ever (both of which were specials). The fries are delish and the popcorn chicken is the perfect snack with a cold beer from Buttonwoods. The next time you're there do not skip out on their food!

    RI mushroom bahn mi
    Cara P.

    I had high expectations when visiting the Screaming Unicorn. Their menu sounded really good with thoughtful offerings and interesting ingredients. Now, I'm not going to say it was bad, because it wasn't, it was fine. But that's all. It was just fine. I visited this spot as part of the RI Food Fights sandwich showdown, and unfortunately the options to choose from were limited. It was between the BLT (which was a special) and RI mushroom bahn mi. I went with the bahn mi and, after waiting what seemed a bit long, the meal arrived and it was time to dig in. The sandwich looked impressive, it was fairly sizable and plenty saucy. I really enjoyed the first few bites, but the more I ate, the less I wanted it. It was a sandwich that made me bored halfway through. The flavors didn't have as much depth as I anticipated, and the biggest let down for me were the mushrooms. The item description says RI mushrooms, which I love, but these were just regular button mushrooms, kept whole. I think this sandwich could have been elevated if they used a wild mushroom blend, a lion's main, or even a big Portabella cap. So, sadly, I thought the food was just okay. As for the services and decor, also just okay. I didn't feel that the workers were very personable, and I didn't love the vibe of the place. I get what they were going for - mismatched furniture, wearhouse, casual hangout - but it felt too scavenged for me. I appreciate the thought and effort, but I most likely wouldn't go back.

    Unicorn Smash Burger with Seasoned Fries

    A good burger is such a wonderful thing. I truly love what Buttonwoods has done with the space. The mismatched chairs and funky decor make for great gathering and eating. The burger was so juicy. I usually don't like a wet burger but the toppings come together so well that I didn't care how messy I was getting! The tomato jam and shaved onion are game changers. Service was nice and quick. A little pricey but worth it.

    Sitting here eating the crispy peanut cauliflower while I enjoy an IPA from Buttonwoods. We had two of the sandwiches last time. We will be back often to progress thru the whole menu. Really delicious and an incredibly charming group of people running the restaurant.

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside. Also, it was not large in size, anyone can eat it in one sitting. The worker who took my order was very friendly and it is so nice/comfortable inside there.

I love the book themed decor or the restaurant, and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, with just enough noise to be comfortable. You can definitely hold a conversation here and be able to hear the others at your table. I ordered the "Between the Acts" cocktail with gin, rhubarb, lavender, cocchi rosa, and citrus. It was beautifully served and tasted even better than it looked. Would definitely order this again. We split the Halloumi fries as an appetizer. The fries were very similar to mozzarella sticks, except with Halloumi, and they were incredible, especially with the hot honey. For entrees, we got the Bucatini and the Chicken & Waffles, and they were both delicious. In fact, I think the chicken and waffles may have been the best I've ever had. I especially loved the thin and crispy chicken cutlet, and the chipotle honey butter was so good! Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but the dessert options looked amazing as well. Service was great throughout our entire visit. Our water glasses were refilled promptly and were checked on just the right number of times. Portion sizes were very good, and pricing is spot on. What a great dining experience!

As per usual we ordered a number of dishes to share fully expecting to take some of it home, which we did. We had the charcuterie and cheese tasting board and the Halloumi fries (small slabs wrapped around crumbs) - both tasty. Then the cheeseburger dumplings (interesting but I will probably not order again) and the shishitos in a Parmesan sprinkling, which could stand to be further blackened. Drinks included a large Pellegrino, an Other People's Pinot (the most expensive item at $17 for a glass); ending up with a hot tea and a good double espresso. The 18% service was automatically added bringing the total just under $100. A restaurant worth patronizing.

They had many options to choose from to customize a salad, bowl or pick one on of the options from their menu. Aside from being pricey I thought my meal tasted fresh and high quality. They state that they source their food locally which is nice! The food alone had me sold on going back but unfortunately the service was very slow (long line and only 1 counter employee) and they were running out of certain items on the line during dinner time. The inside of sweet green felt clean and they have to-go bags hanging up for you if needed along with several tables go dine in. Overall, will go back to get a quick healthy meal option!

We all agreed as it gets done and before you know it fresh pipping hot food starts arriving to our table. While waiting for the food and talking with the family I was able to get a good vibe check of the ambiance of this place and I must say I good really great vibe and felt like was just a bunch of happy people eating and having greats convos with one another. :-) On to the food! Nachos - Super awesome and crunchy and fresh. not soggy at all and a huge portion for 15 bucks! Margherita pizza - Super fresh piping hot pizza with fresh tomatoes and Basil! Sriracha Buffalo Cauliflower - This is where things started to turn inconsistent. let's see we had three orders of these and pretty much all three orders looked different, tasted different and some of the bigger pieces were not cooked through. All three of us did share each others to compare tastes. Reggie's Raw Heaven Salad - I did not eat the salad but I looked at it and asked the couple how they liked it and they said it was awesome! Note to self to try next time! Sweet Potato Wedges - Hot and fresh but again with the inconsistency, some were over cooked almost burnt and some were a little under cooked but for the most part they were nice and crunchy on the outside and nice and pillowy soft on the inside. Overall - I do love this place, I can't wait to come back and see if the food can be a little more consistent.. This place has really great vibe to it and I do recommend it for a good vegan food spot!

Chef Ben Sukle has received many accolades including being a James Beard Finalist so I knew we were in for a treat. Everything we ordered was so fresh, had a farm-to-table vibe, and felt very intentional. 3 different dishes had 3 different types of olive oil - that's impressive! I was blown away by the Red Shrimp Quasi Crudo. They were slightly sweet, perfectly cooked with a delicate snap, and I still got some of the roasted/grilled flavor. The Raw Scallops were so simple yet so exquisite. This is a must order along with anything on their crudo menu! The Carrot & Mascarpone Anolini was such a unique pasta and was perfectly balanced and delicious. And definitely leave room for dessert because you can't leave here without trying the Wood-Roasted Basque-Style Cheesecake. It's so creamy, borderline custardy, with a beautiful char on top and the delicate blueberries and olive oil that paired so well together. They are really using their wood-fire oven to the max and I'm here for it. What an exceptional meal; highly recommend.

My pieces were tasty but a bit fatty (hard to chew). I had the eggplant ravioli which was very rich and tasty ($28) - but so heavily sauced it was hard to tell what was what. The less good parts: the cheap wood chairs are too uncomfortable to sit on very long (I moved to the banquette next to my partner). The food is overpriced. It really needed something with it - bread, potatoes, vegetables, anything. The pork came with a few bitter leaves of a salad. I have a small appetite in general - I usually take home half my food anywhere I go. I looked at the food and said "we are going to have to go to IHOP later" because it was a light snack. The only bread available cost $12. Maybe it's amazing but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $12 for bread on principle. The food took awhile to arrive. Long enough for the server to tell us she was leaving for the night and to get up and order two drinks directly from the bar myself. The servers were nice in a way that felt somewhat forced. We are finding someplace else for dessert. I really liked my espresso martini, and that was within the price range I would expect ($13).
