Spats Restauran and Pub
By Mandogg at Citysearch April 01, 2012
A guy friend and I came here on a Saturday night around 9 p.m. and we were let RIGHT in to a table. Where else on Thayer St in Providence that time on a Saturday will you get right to a table?! The menu is diverse and while a lot of it is "bar food", it's pretty healthy. I looked around at some other people's plates and the salads look big. I got a buffalo chicken quesadilla that was not only on a crispy WHEAT tortilla, but the chicken was not fried and tasteless - it was pure, roasted, white meat chicken that seemed hand pulled with a taste of rotisserie underneath the distinct taste of Frank's Red Hot. Also, I'm not a big drinker, but I decided to order their huge Sangria (they also have a similar size large frozen Margarita) and it was delicious. Oh yeah, and you get to keep the bottle! They have high def TV's all around the bar and restaurant, the bathroom was clean, the decor was nice without being "too" fancy for a bar, it's right off of Thayer Street and it won't take you forever to get service. Highly recommended and nothing dive-y about it! ...read more
Mainelli's Restaurant
By i loves food at Citysearch November 06, 2011
After seeing the recent makeover of this restaurant on "Restaurant: Impossible", I expected only good things. I was surprised and disappointed. The main course items I ordered (from the old menu, they were no longer using the new menu from the makeover) tasted not just mediocre, but awful; the red sauce was overly acidic, bitter, almost rancid...my friend said it tasted like strained canned tomatoes, nothing more. His wife had the caprese salad...it was tasteless, served with light orange tomato slices, and NO BASIL. The side of pasta with vodka sauce was even worse, the "sauce" was nothing more than a watery white liquid that tasted like indistinct salted broth. I can say with all honesty that this was the worst food I can remember ever having eaten at a restaurant. How anyone can make pasta and sauce taste so bad is hard to imagine, especially considering it's an Italian restaurant in Providence. Robert Irvine, back to the drawing board for these guys. ...read more

Betty's Restaurant
By KarmaQueen83 at Citysearch October 03, 2010
My eggs were rubbery, lukewarm and greasy. My home fries were so over cooked that they weren't even edible. I did send them back but was met with an eyeroll and a huff from the waitress (her name started with a J but I can't remember exactly). The waitress was the most miserable waitress I've ever had.\t\n\t\nI would never eat there again. Total waste of money. ...read more

Carrie's Restaurant
By Anonymous April 23, 2010
Nothing special. The famous stuffies just tasted like stale bread. I had the baked sampler which came with stuffed shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, scallops and sole. All of the fish was overcooked and the stuffing was also spread on the sole and the scallops making everything taste the same. Nothing tasted fresh either. For the prices on the menu I expected a lot better quality. ...read more

Mainellis has been in business for years, and the last time i was there was over three years ago--i didnt know that they changed owners since then, I had the pleasure of going there last night. I have to say the food was FANTASTIC. The seafood dish that was ordered as well as the service in itself was excellent.

Kabob and Curry Restaurant
By crazydog45 at Citysearch February 13, 2009
Ate at Kabob-n-Curry recently and had a good, but not great meal. The chicken did not seem too fresh, but was ok, not bad. The Indian spices were great, as always, and service was very prompt and courteous. I would definitely recommend Kabob-n-Curry and I will definitely return. ...read more
Ocha Restaurant
By Jill January 23, 2009
We have been going to O-Cha for about a decade and have never, not once, been disappointed! Everything is totally fresh, veggies are not overcooked, and all prepared very, very well. Plus the people working there are the nicest, most friendly people. And its BYOB which allows you to bring what you like to drink. I highly recommend this place to everyone. ...read more
