Have a great lunch here for the first time( had been here for dinner many times) in Sept. I ordered the daily special of Fried Sea bass with Portuguese fries. My wife had the octopus stew with potato. Both dishes came out pipping hot & the seafood was most delicious. Price was reasonable & service was like your parents have you come over for Sunday dinner, warm & pleasant.

Located near the Looff Carousel in Crescent Park, the Blount Clam Shack sells many of the items from their retail and wholesale operations. The food is just average for seafood, nothing special. However, I must admit that their clam cakes are the best I have...MoreHi Doug! Thank you so so much for taking the time to leave a review and the support. We're so glad to hear that you enjoy our clam cakes as much as we do. Hope to serve you again soon!

I love coming to Spain restaurant because there is a very high level of professionalism, creativity and fresh ingredients when it comes to the menu/food. Only the finest ingredients are used and it shows. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ve had several meals and everything I’ve ever ordered was cooked to perfection. It’s a warm and inviting atmosphere, not stuffy or pretentious. You will not be disappointed!
5. Chardonnay's Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 224 reviews
Chardonnay's is a casual yet elegant restaurant featuring eclectic new-American cuisine and a carefully chosen wine list that includes twenty wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. We do not take reservations for the bar or the bar area, sorry. Those seats are first come first serve.

I live in Wisconsin but travel to Seekonk to visit family. This last trip we visited Chardonnays three times because the food is simply amazing. It is one place where you are guaranteed fine tasting food every visit. This visit I tried this butternut soup...MoreHoly Cow SJ, you made my day.

Came here after dinner and had a lovely selection of desserts! First....probably the best cappuccino I have EVER had. Tremendous. We had a slice of the coconut cake and the butterscotch crumble cake that was so outstanding I wanted to take several home. Really great. I highly recommend coming here!!!!
8. Not Your Average Joe's

Reviewed By Ed T - East Providence, Rhode Island
We went to NYAJ for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised with the food and service. One attraction to NYAJ is that their menu changes from season to season whilst still retaining some comfort staples. The same can be said about their seasonal cocktail selections.
We have never been disappointed with NYAJ as the management team is always willing to make things right.
I would recommend a visit to the Seekonk location.
9. Lee's Restaurant & Lounge

Reviewed By Racmos - East Providence, Rhode Island
I don't know what makes me love this place so much, but I do. The food is consistently delicious and there are so many options from which to choose. Serving sizes are more than generous. Leftovers are always a given.
The wait staff is so attentive and friendly you'll be tempted to invite them to sit and join you.
The cocktails are very good and reasonably priced. There is a bar with a pool table in the back room but we have never been in that area.
The decor and menus (complete with spelling errors) haven't changed in over 30 years but it is part of the charm. Truthfully, it is one of those places that you either love or don't love but I think it's worth a try.
Eat in, take-out or delivery.
10. Massimo Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 356 reviews
From Joseph + Esther DeQuattro of Pane Vino comes the much anticipated Massimo. Massimo brings the quintessential Italian trattoria to Providence’s Federal Hill Neighborhood. Offering a seasonal Italian menu inspired by the regional cuisines of Italy. Signature dishes include Fettuccine alla Carbonara with guanciale and a farm fresh egg, the Fig & Taleggio Pizza, and the House-Aged Rib-eye “Fiorentina.” Located at the gateway to federal hill, Massimo is classically designed to create a warm and lively setting, featuring dark woods and bright pops of yellow. Massimo’s spacious dining room has giant sliding glass doors that lend an al fresco feel to the entire first floor. Upstairs, the glass-enclosed dining room – including a full bar & lounge – make it the perfect place for occasions of all scopes and sizes, whether it’s a quiet night out with friends and family, a corporate team building event, or a boisterous celebration with seating for up to 100 guests. Massimo has unique Italian wines from small boutique Italian winemakers and a cellar selection from Italy, Spain and California. Our approach to wine is accessibility, quality and variety to encourage unfettered enjoyment. Our bar features beers on tap, cocktails, and a large selection of classic Italian amari, grappa and many other Italian liqueurs.

My recent meal at Massimo was hit-and-miss, but mostly everything was fantastic. The Orecchiette con Salsiccia was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had, and the Pollo al Limone was perfectly cooked and flavorful; however, the meal fell flat with the spaghetti carbonara which both came out cold and bland -- other reviews mention issues with the carbonara as well, so I would stay away from it entirely. Also, the caprese special we ordered lacked taste, mainly missing salt. Despite these two dishes, everything else was perfect: the waitstaff was incredibly hospitable and the restaurant's decor makes for an inviting ambiance.
