Providence has really become Rhode Island’s dining mecca… in fact, people come from all over New England to enjoy meals at both the city’s classic eateries and new and exciting spots.

You can choose from the four course $40 menu or the six course $55 menu.

And since the menu is constantly changing, you'll probably want to go more than once.
