    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.

You order at the kiosk and they prepare your food and call your name when it's ready. I ordered the saag with potatoes and the gentleman also gave me a complimentary pink dessert. I've had Indian food all around the world and always love ordering saag. When I tell you this was one of the BEST saags I've ever had I'm not lying. Quite honestly it was incredible. The spinach was blended very well, it was incredibly creamy, and there were even some chunks of onions and peppers throughout. The potatoes practically melted in my mouth but still had enough bite to contrast the creamy saag. The meal was spiced perfectly and offered a multitude of complex flavors. The portions were enormous. They definitely gave me enough rice and curry for atleast two meals. If this was the quality of one of their dishes I'm excited to try out more of their options! Utterly fantastic. Don't let the outside fool you- this is a must try for Indian dishes.

I did go at 3pm and I was the only person in there, so I'm sure that had some effect on the quality of food. The rice was a little hard and cold, a majority of the toppings were fresh and crisp, but even the protein was a bit cold. The amount of sauce on top was drowning as well. The worker was very nice and walked me through the options which I appreciated.

It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

This is a training restaurant run by the Genesis Center for individuals looking for training in the food industry, a very worthy endeavor. We liked the fact that the first question we were asked was if we were attending an event, so they could pace our dining experience properly. I opted for 2 appetizers, the French Onion Soup ($8) & General Tsao's Cauliflower ($7) with a glass of Black Stallion Cabernet ($13). The soup had a hearty broth with plenty of cheese topping a nicely toasted crouton. The cauliflower had the perfect amount of heat... you could taste it but it didn't burn your mouth. Both were delicious & satisfying. My friend settled on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc ($11) as well as Chicken & Waffles with Chipotle Butter & Maple Syrup ($18), all delectable. For dessert, we shared a piece of Ricotta Cheesecake with Berry Sauce ($10), the perfect, not-too-sweet ending to our meal. The service was attentive without being intrusive... perfect! The entire meal for two, including the 18% included gratuity & a $5 Trinity Rep discount, was around $85. I recommend making reservations, particularly if you're attending an event. There is plenty of street parking, a parking garage & parking lots nearby.

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.

The space is a large modern hanger-style food court with a large bar station and plenty of seating in and outdoors on large patio. Wonderful for families and groups to gather around at long large tables. We found a table by the end by a large screen wall tv with sports on and comfy leather club chairs Great for drinks and talking. First stop, we stood at the bar and ordered our drinks ($14 cocktails). And got big glasses of ice water and headed to our table. We then we split up and everyone walked the hall looking at menus. We all ordered food and gave the restaurant a phone number and they'll text you when your items are ready, generally about 10 or 15 minutes depending on how busy things are. Then you go pick up your tray and head back to your table. Note... don't forget your phone like I did. It's a great opportunity for grazing. If you wanna try a little bit here and there. I chose to have Mediterranean food from TOLIA. Appetizer was a nice three dip Mediterranean plate with pita chips $15 that were crunchy and good. For my entrée, I selected the minced lamp, kebabs over eggplant with pita and an added extra cucumber yogurt dip $29. This was all very tasty And costs about $50 with tip. A bit pricey for a self serve if you ask me. But that's the way things are going on these days. It was a nice time sitting around and talking, but then it got very crowded and very noisy and people were hovering by 5:30 to take our tables and even asked if we were getting up soon. It was a cold chilly day, but the overflow folks were headed outside of the picnic tables, which seemed very cold to me, but on a warm day I would all be very nice. A note on parking, we parked in the adjacent parking garage right near behind Track 15 and get your ticket validated inside at wall kiosk by the door when Leaving. This will save you, so two hours cost about $8.95.

Looked at all of our options and I decided to go with Mexican from Dolores and my wife decided to go with Giusto PVD. I wish I had chosen Italian over Mexican. I've been dying to try Dolores so I opted to have three different tacos after asking the girl at the register if she would recommend their chicken sandwich over the tacos. She told me that everything was good so I went with the ribeye taco, the shrimp taco and the mushroom taco. The ribeye taco was fantastic. There was quite a bit of ribeye in it and the perfect amount of spice. The shrimp taco flavor and the mushroom taco was just spicy with a little flavor. I'd have to say the ribeye was the best taco and it definitely wasn't worth what I spent on them. My wife had an eggplant Parm sandwich and it was cooked perfectly, looked delicious and I wish I had gotten that. I really wanted to order a long Liv beer, but the bartender was talking to someone, I assume that they knew, as although I was only the second person in line I didn't get waited on for over 10 minutes. I ended up walking away to go get my food and just drank water. So my first experience here was not great, overall I'm pretty disappointed, but I'm going to go back and try again as there are a few other restaurants. I really do like the idea of being able to get dishes from different restaurants, pick your own seat and sit with other people at a community table. It's really nice inside and they had live music tonight, which would've been great if we wanted to stay. Next time I go back, I'm definitely having Italian, pizza and some falafel.
