The food was amazing and the place was decorated wonderfully. The plates were decently portioned…read morefor a great price. One thing though, our waitress never really asked for our order. She kinda just stood by our table waiting for us to speak which was a bit odd. Normally, I wouldn't care but the automatic service tip was 20%, adding an extra 14 dollars to our meal. After that, we had to pay an extra 3.99% for using our card. There were no non-alcoholic drinks on the menu, so my group had to ask for drinks without knowing the prices. I got a passionfruit lemonade and two of my friends got Shirley temples, which were reasonably priced, but another pair got virgin piña coladas unfrozen and they were a bit expensive. The drinks were delightful but I'd suggest asking for the price beforehand, because it may surprise you. My friends and I really enjoyed taking pictures, especially after 9 because that's when they turn off the lights and turn on more decorations. I'd definitely go again. I got chicken and broccoli Alfredo. Seasoned great but leaned a bit in the saltier side. The broccoli was cooked great but the chicken had little flavor. All I could really taste were the grill marks. My friends got the Cajun chicken Mac n cheese, the jerk Mac n cheese, chicken tikka, and jerk chicken pizza, and everyone enjoyed it.

I really wanted to like Ours because we frequent several hookah lounges around the area and I…read morealways like trying somewhere new. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. I wouldn't call it a terrible place, but compared with some of the other hookah spots on Federal Hill, this one felt pretty clearly below average. We sat at the bar and ordered two gum mint hookahs. I will give them credit where credit is due: the hookah itself was actually good. It came out quickly after we ordered, the flavor was good, and the overall quality of the hookah was solid. That's really the reason I'm giving two stars instead of one. If you're judging strictly on the hookah, they did a perfectly respectable job. The rest of the experience was another story. The music was much too loud for what I personally want from a hookah lounge. I understand that they probably have a clientele that enjoys that particular music and atmosphere, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but if you're looking to sit down, smoke a hookah and actually relax or have a conversation, it can be difficult. The music simply wasn't my taste either, so it became more of a distraction than part of the experience. Unfortunately, the service didn't help. Our bartender didn't seem particularly interested in being there, and there were several comments made to the waitress whenever people came in that gave the impression she wasn't especially thrilled with either the customers or the job in general. Maybe we caught her on a bad night, and I'm always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but as a customer, that's the impression that came across. You don't necessarily need someone bouncing around with a huge smile every second, but a little enthusiasm goes a long way in a lounge where the entire point is supposed to be relaxing and enjoying yourself. The atmosphere itself is actually decent. It's nicely done and has a good overall look, but the space is small, and once it starts filling up, it can feel pretty crowded. That's not necessarily a deal breaker, but combined with the loud music, it makes the room feel considerably less relaxed than I was expecting. The drinks looked good, but I also wasn't particularly impressed with what they cost. At those prices, I expect the drink itself and the overall experience to justify the bill, and I didn't feel like they quite got there. Maybe I'm spoiled by some of the other places we've visited, but that's part of the comparison when you're charging lounge prices. I'm trying to be as objective as possible here because there were some positives. The hookahs were good, they were prepared quickly, the space itself is attractive, and I'm certainly not saying this is some horrible establishment. It just didn't give me much reason to choose it over the several other hookah lounges on the Hill that we've enjoyed considerably more. It's also a relatively small place, so I could see the experience being very different depending on the night, the crowd and who's working. I probably won't be rushing back, but I'm not completely writing it off either. Give it some time and maybe we'll come back and give it another shot. For now, though, two stars feels fair. Good hookah, but too many other parts of the experience missed the mark for me.

We had a Cumulus Sweet Deals for Flat River Tavern & we thought we'd never been there before. We…read morewere both right & wrong at the same time! It was something else before (we visited for RI Food Fights #LordOfTheWings some years ago) but the establishment is under new management with a revamped menu. As a wife of a veteran, it is always wonderful to support a veteran-owned business. They wear their service on their proverbial sleeves. Everywhere you look, there is a tribute to our heroes. Hubby is a fan of meat on meat on meat pizza so we ordered the Cardiac Special - pepperoni, sausage, meatball, bacon & ham. There was a good amount of meat, pizza held up to the weight of the toppings & it was very tasty. I was in the mood for chicken strips & we ordered Garlic Parmesan & Nashville Hot. For former was nice & garlicky, the latter was spicy but not killer. Large juicy pieces of chicken that were lightly breaded. I want more! That evening, Flat River Tavern was hosting music bingo. The dude running it came up to us as we sat down to invite us to play. We weren't interested but it was fun to listen to the music for the game. The restaurant always has something going on - live music, food specials, DJ trivia.

Flat Service, and a River of disappointment…read more I had high hopes as my brother had mentioned he had been here a few times and really enjoyed it Went here after watching a game with my father in Saturday. He is 82, and I'm no spring chicken either. The place was moderately busy, but definitely not packed. We found seats at the bar right away and sat down. We were immediately treated (assaulted?) to the sounds of a warbling guitarist on furlough from a nearby assisted living, dutifully plucking out misaligned chords along with a voice that would make RFK Jr. sound like Pavarotti's protege. She worked through several tunes from her hippie-esque youth, which seemed a a stark contrast to the overblown MAGA-licious decor of the place. Dad and I sat at the bar, ignored for several minutes while we watched the young woman bartender chat with and serve several other guests. This included people who had already been served drinks and meals. No "hello". No "I'll be right with you", just chatting and chatting and chatting with two guys halfway down the bar and pouring beers for the folks who still had what was left of their first (fifth?) beer in front of them. It was then that we saw another man behind the bar walking towards us. And I thought, "oh, this must be his part of the bar, then. Surely he'll greet us and pour us a beer." NOPE. The guy gets to about three feet from us at the bar and turns away from us to face the wall, remote in his hand. He's not a server, he's the 'change-the-channel' guy. A task he performed with all the skill and charisma of a WalMart greater on work release. That's it for me. I'm 10 minutes in and no one has even acknowledged that we were at the bar. I tell Dad we're heading and we both stand up to put on our coats. The grinding sound of the chairs sliding back across the sticky floor must have inspired the lone remaining customer service neuron in the Flirty McTownie's bartender brain because as I was putting on my coat she managed to slog her self over to where we were to ask "Hey guys, can I get you something?" "We're all set" was pretty much the only response I could muster that wouldn't have included a torrent of curses and insinuations regarding questionable parentage. We left Honestly, unless there's no other choice, drive the extra 6 minutes into town. There are much better bars and restaurants with much better service, Old Theater Diner or Black Oak among them. Frankly, you'd probably get better service at the hot counter at Dave's... Probably better pizza too... Though we wouldn't know.

Me and my fiancé went inside to grab 2 bubble teas the other day. There's enough parking which is great, and I believe they have karaoke in the evenings around 9:30pm ( we haven't tried this yet). The owner is very kind and attention. They've always been kind on the phone and in person as well. They only lose one star because the ambiance was a little off. Customers seemed to stare as if we had twenty heads, but the owner didn't act that way. But that's the reason why it lost one star I felt very uncomfortable and out of place.

The venue is reasonably large, the seats are comfortable, the service has been very good (and it was excellent today), and they have a large humidor for anyone arriving empty-handed. I've worked through a handful of menu items and found the lamb lollipops are particularly good (order them medium). That said, this isn't a place I'd choose strictly for dinner unless the ambiance of lingering cigar smoke is part of the draw (pun intended). In warmer months, the large outdoor deck along the water is a really nice spot. So if you're into cigars or hookah and live in the area, this might be your place too. Given how rare cigar-friendly venues have become, I'm bumping this up to a five-star rating. Tip: Beware of the sidewalks on this street. They have so many peaks and valleys they look like the Swiss Alps!
