    Street Corn Ribs
    Mary K.

    We walked over here for lunch after visiting the Hope Street Farmers Market. We weren't exactly sure what to expect but had seen this pop up a few times on Yelp saying - come eat here, lol. When we walked in, it was empty - saw that we had to order at the counter, find a seat and the food would be brought out. I had seen numerous reviews praising the corn ribs, so we ordered that along with the chicken empanadas, chicken sando and the beef bulgogi cheesesteak. The corn was good but not as good as I was hoping they would be. The mister enjoyed the beef bulgogi sammy - the chicken was cooked nicely but was missing that oomph. My favorite thing were the empanadas. There is a self service water station. Service was quick and friendly, place was airy and welcoming. We won't rush back but if in the area would like to try other options.

    Curry croquettes

    Rating:4.3 Came to try this new restaurant on hope street right next to three sisters where they used to offer food items. When we got there it was empty as the place just had opened. We parked right in front of the restaurant on street parking. Inside is small and cozy with few seatings with some decors, tv and background music. We placed an order and sat down. We ordered curry croquettes, dan dan noodle, hibiscus punch, and pineapple mabi. Curry croquettes were pretty good. Freshly fried, crunchy on outside and hot and savory. The hibiscus punch was refreshing. We were not a fan on pineapple mabi. Dandan noodle had a great flavor, hint of spice and savoriness. I did wish that the noodles were a bit more firm as they were a bit overcooked and soft. The service was good. There was only one staff so it may be a long wait if the place gets busy. Overall the place was pretty good. Price can be a bit expensive for some item. Food was solid and service was good as long as the place is not busy. I would come back to try other things on the menu like their sandwich.

    I was researching some places that had sandwiches for lunch today and I'm thrilled I came across this place and was able to give it a try! Parking is tough but you should be able to find street parking without a long walk. I knew the restaurant was small and was worried we'd have trouble finding a seat because of that. However, we were the only customers in there for a solid 10 minutes when we first arrived. The restaurant itself was adorable! Small but nicely decorated and furnished. I appreciated the stars on the ceiling. The staff were friendly and gave us as much time as we needed with the menu before we ordered at the counter. I had the chicken empanadas and the shrimp poboy. The food came out quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The empanadas were excellent. Great flavor and tasted high quality. I found them to be a little oily but that wasn't anything a napkin couldn't fix. The shrimp was cooked well and I liked the sauce it came with. Their bread was also super soft and tasted freshly baked. Definitely something I'd consider ordering again! Overall, I'd definitely come back to the White Owl and would love to check out more things on the menu.

    This restaurant is new and right next to three sisters. This place use to be connected to them, but I guess they sold this half and converted to a new shop. It's very cute! It's clean, and green. Dan Dan noodles were flavorful! Don't forget to mis the fish before eating because you really need to get all those flavors in. The curry croquette were delicious! I shared it with my partner because it was two pieces were on the plate. Our drinks were interesting. We ordered the two non alcoholic options. Honestly should have just gotten the soft drinks. We got the hibiscus drink and the pineapple mobi. It was very surprising and too bitter and tasted like an alcoholic drink with no alcohol. We didn't even finish it. Seems like this place has cute specials like thirsty Thursdays, self service for utensils and first come first serve seating. At the counter they have a special to win a $25 for a select restaurant list as promotion. The staff was only one women, and she didn't a great job being prompt, greeting, and providing us our meals on time with little wait. I would definitely go back because it feels casual and cute location and near my workplace. The curry croquette are a MUST and serve is very comfortable. All I need to do is figure out if they have wifi~ because this feels like a perfect place for lunch and cute to sit and work a bit during pre-lunch to lunch hours.

    Finally tried White Owl and the food did not disappoint. Went on a rainy Wednesday and we were the only people there. Was confused about whether we needed to order at the counter or get table service and it was a hybrid (order at the counter but food is brought to you). Had the corn ribs served with queso fresco and chipotle cream and a chicken sandwich served with waffle fries and spicy pickles. My friend got the birria sandwich and it looked similar to a French dip. Everything tasted good and was freshly prepared. Would probably just get takeout next time.

    My experience here has always been great whenever I visit. Been here twice, and it is a tiny spot with maybe 2 people working here at a time, so be patient and you'll be rewarded with deliciousness! Despite this, food comes out super quickly. Have tried one of their sandos and their dandan noodles and both were super flavorful. They also serve brunch, which I haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's also great. They're also next door to this awesome ice cream place, so grabbing dessert after a great meal here is easy.

    Located conveniently across from the green on hope street, and next door to three sisters, another favorite! There is on street parking, in front of the building, but if you fancy a walk, you can park somewhere down on the green and walk on over. Quite a bit of seating, and a bathroom you can use. You have to scan the QR code and order at the front for food and drinks Got the Caribbean crab cakes, very good, loved the sweetness of the mango sauce! Also got a soy mushroom burger, with a side of nicely dressed salad. This is our second time here, and will probably visit again! I

    Still my favorite burger in Providence. And a peaceful time overlooking goings on at the the near-Pawtucket end of the Boulevard.

    Visited with a friend and it was a first visit for both of us. We sat down at the bar and were…read moreimmediately drawn in by the casual but classy vibe. My friend knows much more about wine than I do, so he was the decision maker for our wine choices and we ordered a 1/2 bottle of red which we both found to be very delicious. Of course, we had to try some food too and the small bites menu was perfect with something to satisfy nearly every taste. We opted for the meat charcuterie, and it was beautifully presented with enough for the two of us to share. There is also a cheese charcuterie on the menu, but unfortunately there is not an option for a combined meat and cheese plate. We sat, sipped, and tasted for a while and never felt rushed. The atmosphere was so comfortable and we'll definitely consider going back here again.

    I didn't have the best time at Providence Wine Bar…read more This might sound a little haughty, but hear me out: I can drink wine at home. I can browse a liquor store & pick out a bottle that exactly fits my preferences, my mood, & my budget. I can bring it home & uncork the wine, checking the cork for freshness. I can pull out my special glassware & pour myself a glass of wine & enjoy it on my own couch. So why go out to a wine bar, if not for the wine? For me, it's for the ambience & the experience. Both of those things at Providence Wine Bar were lacking. The lights were too bright (overhead & fluorescent) & the music was too loud (& just bad). The employees seemed both bored & nervous, with not much to do to occupy themselves. I was one of the only people in the bar, so I felt like I was under scrutiny - I'm certain this wasn't intentional but it was unfortunately how it came across. I brought a book but couldn't focus because of the lights & the music. I even caught myself with my fingers in my ears, trying to muffle the sounds of 2010s hyper pop. I have nothing against 2010s hyperpop, it's just that there's a time & place for everything, & maybe that isn't at a wine bar at 8 PM on a Wednesday. I just wanted to be done with my glass of wine so that I could leave. All of that being said, I wish them the best. It seems like they need a good manager's touch.

    Contrary to the other reviews of the service here, I received a warm welcome walking into the store…read moreand was immediately attended to by both working gentlemen. I had a few items already in mind so it didn't take long for them to locate them for me. When asked about some very specific New York style Gin, they immediately told me that that was something they didn't carry but would be willing to source if I were to call ahead before visiting again. I really appreciated that offer and may take them up on that next time since Providence is still a much closer drive than upstate New York. I guess what really fascinated me about this place more than the wines stocked on the shelves was the fact that this used to be a purveyor/architect's office/storage where they stored their blueprints. As such, the shelves where all these simple fine wines rest on were once holding blueprints for buildings nearby. It made the whole store look extremely unique and similar to a library that had books up to the ceiling. I'll definitely be back to visit when in the area again. NOTE: They also carry a few nice NA beers and mocktails as well as drinks with THC.

    Family owned business in the heart of the West End…read more 1. Wonderful selection of beers and wines for such a small place. 2. Extremely helpful and friendly staff/owners. 3. It's a bright space, it's not a dingy corner liquor store. You won't run into any "riff raff" outside w being harassed etc. (note: this is my neighborhood and neighborhood riff raff doesn't bother met outside of other liquor stores, I'm just being matter of fact about if you'd like to avoid any hassles outside. 4. Being newer to the neighborhood. I love that let me go in there and practice my Spanish knowing that I still suck at it but I'm trying. One of the owners today taught me how to say so many different things when it came the liquor/beer business even though he was busy. It's a neighborhood business! They are here for all neighbors. I always feel welcome here. Thank you for your assistance always guys and gals who work here. Love, The chubby gringo who tries to speak broken Spanish (just to practice) every time he comes in there. Love Reyes liquors. Best shop in town.

    Reyes Liquors has an appropriate selection of booze given the neighborhood…read more By appropriate, and suspending judgment (to each their own), here's a sample list of the very wide variety of selection and quality you can find here: Foolproof, Colt 45 malt liquor, Shipyard, Arbor Mist, Peak Organic, Sutter Home White Zinfandel, Moët & Chandon Rose Imperial, Casillero del Diablo, Jäger (ok fine. I judge the Jäger). I personally think you'll get a really bad hangover from a lot of the options here (esp. the wine), but the craft beer selection is surprisingly good and I love the mix-a-six. What I don't like about this place is that sometimes the pricing seems out of whack with alternatives, the price labeling can be better (there's been times I'd have to wait in line to get the register to scan an item to understand cost), and the parking situation can be a major cluster with patrons haphazardly blocking the road and private lot (common sense people, TRIPLE parking on the street and sidewalk and/or blocking the lot entrance in your car is rude!). I like Reyes Liquors just fine, I just wouldn't feel compelled to make a special visit if I wasn't already in the neighborhood.
