Boozy Cocoa Flights
Maria J L.

Food/Drinks: This place has delicious food and is honestly one of the best spots for breakfast. One of my favorite things here are the boozy flights! Strong, tasty, and have such a good variety. Honestly, they're one of the best parts of the colder weather coming back, just so I can go and have them again. I do wish they had them all year round ! Location: The location has a cozy, casual yet modern. You can definitely come dressed casually, but it's also nice enough to dress up if you want. I've only been here for breakfast, so I'm not sure how dinner is. I would definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets pretty busy. This place is perfect for a chill family time, first date, or just to catch up with friends ! Parking is easy with both street parking and a lot right in front, which makes it super convenient. Service: The service has always been great when I've gone. The servers are friendly, attentive, and get the job done, no complaints there. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially in the wintertime!

Moon Bites
Eric M.

I've heard so many good things about this spot thought I'd give it a try with my girlfriend before seeing Harry Potter at PPAC. The good highlight was definitely the moon bites. Flavorful fried mozz, great cheese pull on them. The Apple crisp also came out super hot delicious apples and loved the addition of some vanilla ice cream and strawberries. The bad: the burger was definitely a frozen patty, the burger was called the sheriff and I wanted to see him after having it. Just felt like so much going on but was so blah. Even the onions were so large and the burger didn't taste like it was seasoned. The ugly, the fish and chips or the fish and oil as it should be called was dripping. To the point were it left oil on the plate and even a small pool at the bottom portion of the fish. Definitely sad to see. To the service, honestly felt neglected from when we first walked in, no one had acknowledged us and kept having conversations, no one ever checked on us while we were at the table to see how the food was (probably because they know something was wrong or how long it took). The place wasn't that busy maybe 4-5 tables, and still took over an hour and a half for everything. The inside was clean, clearly updated which is always nice to see they care about aesthetic but should do the same with some of the food. I would give it another shot for maybe brunch as it seems to be popular, or maybe a pizza.

Grits with Pulled Pork
Erika W.

I was in town for a work conference and, as always when I travel, I make it a point to support local Black-owned businesses. That's how I ended up at The District for brunch--and I'm so glad I did! To start, I ordered the Guavamosa (champagne, elderflower, and guava juice). It was super light and refreshing--definitely one of those drinks that creeps up on you (in the best way)! Perfect for brunch vibes. For my main dish, I got the Grits with Pulled Pork. It usually comes with poached eggs, but I swapped them for eggs over medium. Let me tell you... those grits? So savory and well-seasoned--I'd come back just for a bowl of them. The pulled pork had a sweet, smoky flavor that paired beautifully with the grits, and the runny egg yolk brought everything together into one creamy, delicious bite. I sat outside, so I can't speak much to the indoor ambiance, but the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, timely, and super attentive, which I really appreciated as a solo diner. Highly recommend for a chill brunch with bold flavors and great energy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Providence! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad

Pizza - hard pass! Total disappointment
Sila R.

The disappointment! We drove all the way from Boston to try this place. The first time we came was on a weekend, but since it's such a cozy spot, we couldn't get seats. We decided to come back again--this time determined! The drinks were amazing--I had a margarita that was perfect. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip (honestly, the best I've ever had!). The cauliflower was a little burnt but still tasted great. The ladies enjoyed the poppers, though I don't do that level of spice. We also tried the cheese pizza, hot honey pizza, The Graduate, and a burger. The Graduate was good, though the beans were a bit bland. No complaints about the burger. But the pizzas... total disappointment. No flavor, no seasoning--they looked great but tasted like cardboard. Such a letdown after everything else started off so strong. Let me not forget to recognize how nice the waitress was - on it, attentive and pleasant !

Eggs Benedict
Tiffany Y.

Came here for brunch and it was pretty busy but we got seated pretty quickly. Environment was loud but it's what you expect for a brunch place. My food was DELICIOUS and exactly what I was looking for when it! Love coming here for their brunch food.

Jerry! The best bartender in RI!
Andrea R.

I love this place! I am a frequent visitor and love the staff, food, and drinks! There is on street parking, and a parking lot across the street. On Fridays, it gets real busy, because they have a live band, so get there early (7-8). Today, I had the blacken salmon, harvest salad and fries. It was so good! Jerry is the best bartender in RI. Also, the garlic knots are great!

Crabcake Benedict. Replaced poached eggs with fried eggs.
Candice S.

Came here on my birthday for Sunday brunch and overall it was a pleasant experience. No frills, and even though I listed in my reservation that it was for a special occasion specifically my birthday nothing was mentioned or done. But not a big deal not holding it against them. The service was great. Our waitress was present and kept checking on us, food came out quickly and so did the drinks. The guavamosa was really good and was the perfect balance. The tequila sangria on the other hand was not. I'm not a fan of red wine and it was so overpowering. You couldn't even taste the tequila. It took me the whole time to get the drink finished because it just wasn't that enjoyable. But if you like red wine, then you will love the drink. The Benedict was super yummy, the chicken and waffles was also really crisp. Definitely would go back to dine inside for dinner one day.

Huevos rancheros
Annie R.

Food: I came here years ago for the pizza and remembered it was really good. This is my first time doing brunch here and it was soooo good! I ordered the Huevos rancheros. Eggs was cooked over medium and just perfectly done. The flavors were all there and I love how they mixed sweet potatoes in with the homefries. It was a great balance. My fiancé ordered the salmon Benedict and it was also really yummy. Service: We had a super attentive and nice waitress. She was great Ambiance: The place is bigger than it looks. The seating was nice and not too close together. It was pretty packed so I recommend getting reservations done before hand. The set up looks really cool and everything was clean. I'll be coming back!

Huevos Rancheros w Mixed Fries
Kaylin V.

We got there at opening for brunch and had reservations just in case, I feel that if you get there before 11am, you should be fine if it's a party of 3 or less but anything more than that or after that, DEFINITELY, make a reservation. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant itself has an elevated bar feel to it. If you seated at a certain side of the restaurant you can see the bar and the person making pizzas. For brunch, we had a regular coffee, water, and the Guava Moscow Mule Mocktail, which was delicious! For food, we got the Huevos Rancheros which were delicious and so were the mixed fries. The mixed fries are just potatoes & sweet potatoes mixed but they were good. The chicken & waffles were good too! I personally don't like cinnamon but I also didn't read on the menu that it was a cinnamon waffle, so that is my fault, but I still enjoyed the food! I'd love to come back for dinner/lunch to try their pizzas because someone ordered a chicken bacon ranch one & it smelled absolutely delicious as we were leaving!

Chicken Milanese
Michael P.

I've probably been here a half dozen times or so. Always for lunch or dinner, I have not had the Brunch. It's always been a "Solid" 4-star spot for me. I recently visited with a couple friends and my wife and after talking it up as a great all around spot, this time I was let a little let down. The pizza which is typically what draws me in was a little too light on the sauce and the crust didn't have its typical chew and was quite dry. Normally it's got a great "New York" style chew to it and has a mildly sweet hint from the honey in the dough. This time, the pizza was serviceable but it was lacking for me (the Pink Ala Vodka is one I've had multiple times in the past. The Felony Burger is aptly named, as the meat they used in this deserves a felony charge. We asked for medium rare because no should be cooked further unless it's a smash burger. I actually almost sent this back but since we were with company I decided not to draw out the time here.. It was still cooked medium-well and it was clearly a pre-shaped and frozen burger. It didn't taste fresh and the texture was dense. There was next to no steak sauce on the burger either. It unfortunately lacked moisture and flavor overall. The chicken milanese was a pleasant surprise. I figured I'd give this a shot as I've had burgers and pizza here before along with some other sandwiches. It was flavorful and prepared well. It could have come with a small side, but it was something I got to keep things a little lighter. Overall, the aim of my visit this time was to socialize a bit with a couple friends and it was good for that, although a bit loud in the restaurant, it served that purpose. The only other grievance besides the food was that our server was very difficult to hear- I can't remember her name but The District is notoriously loud and bustling, the servers need to be sure their guests can hear them. Not in a rush to come back here but I'm sure I'll give it another shot at some point- will likely just stick to pizza, though, as the majority of the other dishes were not well liked by our party. But to that point, lots of good pizza in PVD and if that's what you're looking for, check out the surrounding options.

Cori F.

Food was solid and service was very good. There were lots of menu options. They had indoor and outdoor seating. Different juice options for mimosas. I would definitely do brunch here again. The food wasn't anything super special but it was very enjoyable. Home fries were a mix of sweet potatoes and white/red potatoes and heavy on the peppers/onions but they had a nice flavor. Eggs were cooked well. The bread was good but I'd prefer it more toasted.

It's always dissapointing when a restaurant lacks consistency and leaves you wondering what happened? Is it the cook at certain shifts, carelessness, different quality products? I don't know, but this place may be worth a try if they could output the product I had during my first visit. The pizza was dissapointing, but the wings were good.

Upon recommendation of our delightful server Kobe, we opted for the Hot Mess: ezzo cupping pepperoni, piri-piri sauce, fresnos, queso fresco. Pizza is Detroit style & the edges were perfection, I could have used a bit more sauce but the piri-piri drizzle was fire. We both had a glass of wine. We were in the mood for a nightcap.
