What People Are Saying
from Google"Early New Year’s Eve dinner was wonderful. Remy, our waitperson, was sensational. She was attentive , professional and fun!!The food was superb. I had the baked stuffed lobster-actually two, 2lb. Baked stuffed lobsters because a three pounder was not available. It was sublime. The bartender was spectacular-he chatted with my husband about a drink and even went through the process by of to expertly make one. It was a fantastic experience!!"
"What a great and delicious find. As turned out, we visited during the happy hour which included a pretty big selection. We got different types of oysters, sushi, clams, and the most amazing calamari (we even got a second order to go). Everything was fresh and really tasty. Service was friendly and good. Would definitely recommend and would come back if back to Providence."

"On a picturesque Sunday afternoon, we had the pleasure of dining at the Providence Oyster Bar, perfectly timed with the lively street festival taking place just outside. With the roads closed to traffic, the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, allowing us to enjoy our meal al fresco beneath the comfort of a shaded tent. The ambiance struck an ideal balance. It was bustling with energy from the festival, yet relaxed enough to savor each moment of our lunch. We began with a half dozen impeccably fresh oysters, brimming with flavor and expertly shucked. This was followed by a warm, hearty bowl of clam chowder that felt like a true taste of coastal New England comfort. The highlight of the meal, however, was their decadent lobster scramble paired with perfectly seasoned home fries; a dish that beautifully showcased the richness and freshness of the region’s seafood. From start to finish, our experience was elevated by the attentiveness of the staff, whose timely service and warm hospitality made us feel genuinely welcomed. The menu itself is impressively extensive, offering a variety of dishes that cater to every palate, ensuring there’s always something tempting to try. Our lunch at the Providence Oyster Bar not only surpassed our expectations but also offered a delightful glimpse into what dining on the East Coast is truly all about! Fresh flavors, inviting atmosphere, and gracious service. Without a doubt, we will be returning on our next trip to Rhode Island, eager to relive the experience and discover more of their offerings."
