Yes. LJ's. Finally.

No frills, no pretensions, just good food and friendly service. Our table of five meat-eating dudes bellied up to brunch this morning with much success. I got the LJ Benedict, a beautiful dish sent to us by the gods themselves…More »

Yeah, Wildflour is pretty bomb.

My wife has a terrible dairy allergy, so you can imagine that this cafe is a godsend for her. I tried it for the first time last night and really enjoyed it a lot. Friendly staff, clean, nice space, cool music, and…More »

Friday night concert in downtown Providence. You're hungry and want some good, cheap grub without any pretensions. Ok, maybe you want a dollop of pretension in the food, but certainly not in the atmosphere.

Enter the new AS220. The eating area was…More »

Same waitress, better job this time. She's just inexperienced. I put the "blame" on the Haruki management. They could take the time to train servers on upselling, wine skills, etc. so that they could go from good to really excellent.
