My wife and I recently visited Mir Mediterranean Restaurant, and everything we ordered was…read moreabsolutely delicious. We started with the cold appetizer platter, which was served with fresh bread that was perfect for dipping. The baba ghanouj and tzatziki were especially flavorful and delicious. The hummus was good as well, though it does contain cumin, so keep that in mind if you're not a fan. The platter included one spicy dip, but the staff were very accommodating and happily substituted it with a mixed eggplant salad, which was excellent. For our entrées, we ordered the chicken shish kebab plate and lahmacun. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The plate came with rice, a fresh salad with a wonderful pomegranate molasses flavor, and fire-roasted tomatoes and jalapeños. The rice was also very good. The lahmacun was outstanding--served in three pieces, making it perfect for sharing, and accompanied by fresh vegetables including tomatoes, greens, onions, and parsley. For dessert, we enjoyed the Turkish rice pudding and Turkish coffee. The rice pudding was sweet, refreshing, and served cold, exactly as it should be. The food, service, and overall experience were excellent. Everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, and my wife and I will definitely be coming back again.

I stopped by in November to see if they would be interesting in advertising in North Providence Wrestling Tournament Ad book (local businesses donate anywhere from $25 for 1/4 page to $100 for whole) that is passed out at door at yearly Highschool wrestling tournament.

I love to support local but have a hard time doing so with businesses that don't give back to the community and blatantly bullshit people rather than a polite "no I'm not interested."

While I commend that, I do love a spinach calzone with no cheese but oh well. I had a falafel bowl instead and the falafel was good and I liked the hummus. The portion was a good size too. I just wasn't a huge fan of the rice pilaf, it tasted more like very lightly seasoned rice and not pilaf. I'd definitely go back and get lettuce and fries as my base or get a falafel wrap. The price was pretty fair too.

We were immediately greeted when we entered and seated. We went during the middle of the day so we're actually the only ones in the restaurant which felt very special honestly. For drinks my fiancé ordered an Irish coffee which was perfectly made and not too sweet and I ordered an expresso martini which I really enjoyed. For starters I ordered oysters which tasted so crisp and refreshing! I loved the garnishes as well! The mignonette was a delicious, with tons of flavor. It was tangy, citrusy and sweet while the horseradish + hot sauce carried a powerful kick. I truly loved the flavor profile! For our meals he ordered the clam chowder which was pretty yummy and the steak and eggs which was pretty decent he enjoyed the potatoes most. I kept my New England vibe going pretty strong and ordered a lobster roll with a side of fries. I will say I wasn't the biggest fan one the unfortunately. The fries were very crunchy almost like cooked in old oil and the lobster roll was a little too buttery for my liking. Our waiter was excellent and really made sure to check on us several times throughout our meal. Given, the overall ambiance and the delicious oysters and drinks I'd say this would be a nice restaurant to stop by for afternoon drinks or maybe even dinner. We were looking forward to trying the crab cakes but only available during dinner time.

We enjoy…read moreFrench cuisine and decided to give Fleur a try even though the Yelp ranking was only 3.3 We were dining early after a long walkabout in Providence. When we arrived, as there were no other diners present, we were advised that we could select our table. The hostess at that moment, also turned out to be our waitress. She quickly sent over water, and provided us with menus. Our first surprise was the menu. Oh Mon Dieu! Where are the French dishes. My co-diner was looking forward to some French Onion soup. Fleur however, was serving Clam Chowder (a standard menu item), and the soup du jour was ironically... Chicken and Rice. Missing in action were the Boeuf Bourguignon, Coq au Vin, Cassoulet, Confit de Canard, Quiche Lorraine, and of course, the French Onion Soup. So, I decided on one of the only French dishes on the menu, Poulet au Citron - Statler chicken, lemon, white wine, tomatoes, artichokes, lemon caper sauce with potato au gratin. $32 My co-diner opted for the Lobster Roll. This was a warm lobster roll, known as a Connecticut Roll - Butter poached lobster meat, served on a butter roll (served warm), Fries, fried wontons or greens. $35 The waitress offered mashed potatoes, fries or the au gratin with my dinner, and I chose the au gratin which I typically like and because it is French inspired. The dinners arrived quickly, which wasn't a complete surprise as we were still the only patrons. Overall, the chicken was pretty good, with a nicely crisped skin, though it was a small portion. The au gratin was terrible, the cheese top was very hard and overdone and the potatoes were too stiff, perhaps a little undercooked. The sauce in the dish with the artichokes was underwhelming, and relatively bland. I tasted the lobster roll, and though there was plenty of lobster, I thought the meat and roll were dry. When the waitress checked on our dinners, I told her I shouldn't have taken her advice and selected mashed potatoes as the au gratin wasn't good. She nodded but didn't apologize for the kitchen or offer a side dish of mashed potatoes, something one would expect in a fine dining restaurant. The main thing that is French inspired at this restaurant is the name. If you're looking for some quality French cooking, you should look elsewhere. If you're looking for an excellent steak, I'd suggest walking down the stairs to the Omni lobby, where you'll find Fleming's, an excellent steak establishment.

Let me just say... what a great choice! I was also told that their bread comes from LaSalle Bakery, which immediately had me excited because I LOVE LaSalle Bakery. And the bread definitely did not disappoint. It was fresh, delicious, and made the entire sandwich even better. This is NOT your average deli. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the sandwich. I normally have a pretty good stopping point and would probably only eat half of a sandwich like this, but it was so good that I literally couldn't stop myself. I ate the entire thing! I am officially stuffed now, lol, but it was 100% worth it. The Atomic was absolutely delicious, the bread was amazing, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations for my first visit. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Five stars all the way!

Once on Atwells Ave, we took a nice slow stroll to check out the restaurants and shops along the way.

There are quite a few parks and places to sit outside for free. DePasquale Square is a nice place to hang out, even if you're not eating at one of the restaurants. There is a lot of outdoor art work, like murals and sculptures to look at. Overall, a great place to visit while in Providence.

Federal Hill has festivals, strolls and special events planned throughout the year. One of those festivals that I've attended a few times is the Columbus Day Festival during Columbus Day Weekend. The Federal Hill Commerce Association welcomes sponsors and vendors for the festival. There is live entertainment in various locations along the avenue and vendors from Federal Hill and from neighboring towns. Also, on Saturdays in the summer from 5 p.m.-12 a.m., restaurant seating expands onto the street called Al Fresco on the Hill. I also did the Crime and Cuisine on Federal Hill hosted by Providence Tour Company. The tour stops at restaurants in Federal Hill and talks about some historic characters who dabbled on the wrong side of the law. Federal Hill is definitely worth a visit.
