Providence

music is good , nice crowd but its way too expensive , 75 dollar minimum if you want to charge your drinks, and they won't budge, if you have no cash you cant drink , 25 dollars to get in is too much Pros: misuc Cons: overpriced more

I did a little research on the place before I went and by the looks of the pictures on the website I thought it would be a sure great night out. It looked like a great club to celebrate a special occasion. However the line was rediculous and although my boyfriend was celebrating his birthday there and we were on the guestlist, we waited over 2 hours to get in. The bouncers were rude and the promoters gave preference to the people who were willing to buy bottles to get in. I THOUGHT THE GUESTLIST IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE LEVERAGE, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG! We weren't the only ones disappointed, everyone on the guestlist line was ranting and raving on how unfairly we were being treated. The line for the people buying bottles was empty and we were still waiting on line. When we finally got in (at 2:30am) we still had to pay $20 for females and $30 for males which is full price. Althought the place had a great ambience, the wait put a dampen on my mood. I ended up leaving 45 minutes later. What a waste of my money and my time! Pros: Ambience Cons: Horrible service more

I came her for my hubbie's 30th with a group of 14 on Friday night. We did not go to the restaurant, we went to the nightclub. I had a WONDERFUL time. The music was great -- they had a room with Hip Hop, R&B, reggae, etc. Downstairs they had latin music - Merengue, Salsa, Bachata, Reggaeton, etc. We danced all night and it was great. It was crowded, but not so crowded that you felt like you couldn't move. The ambience was fabulous too. I love how the place is decorated and I couldn't believe how friendly the bouncers were! They even wished my husband a happy birthday. I usually hate bouncers but I actually liked these. They weren't all full of themselves, which was great. I recommend this place and will be back!!!! Pros: Ambience, Music Cons: Drinks a little pricey more

I was attending this club for my friend's birthday and was DENIED entrance becuase they had seen me changing into my nice shoes. My friends both came out to reason with the bouncers and they said no go! We were on a list and it was this kids birthday for godsakes! And this bouncer that denied me entrance was wearing BRIGHT RED Sneakers, as if its ok to dress casual when clearly this is not that type of place. First, I find this hypocritical, and second, to be sending the wrong message. So if you feel wasting your time waiting on line just to be judged by a punk bouncer in red kicks, you got it right here! Pros: NONE! Cons: Unaccommodating more

Good Food, beautiful place, but at 9:30 on Sat night, there we 3 tables in the place! It was quiet and empty. This place will be gone by the fall. Too bad. more

totally amazing is how i would sum up my evening at providence. went there with my husband and the food is just out of this world. we had these vegetable goat cheese cakes and steak that melts in your mouth. the braised short ribs were flavorful and plentiful for an appetizer, the bread pudding is better than sex. as we were leaving we noticed that there was music coming from the room on the lower level. it was the triumph room nightclub and we had so much fun dancing all night. Pros: great food, beautiful space, great wine list more

My husband threw me a fabulous surprise 30th birthday party on Saturday night and everything was perfect! The restaurant is beautiful with a very romantic and stylish ambiance. Our party of 30 began with cocktails and delicious passed hors d'ouevres in the balcony lounge and continued in the upstairs private dining room replete with full bar and lounge area for an elegant sit-down dinner. The tables were set gorgeously with candles and a printed menu at each seat. Guests had 4 choices of appetizer (3 different salads or calamari) and entree (halibut, spinach ravioli, roasted chicken and filet mignon)all were delicious! The dessert selection was a chocolate-lovers dream! The excellent service enhanced the sophisticated atmosphere. Marcello was a gracious host who escorted our guests downstairs to a reserved alcove in the club and the party continued into the night. What a great venue! Thanks again to everyone at Providence! Pros: personal service, food selection, stylish atmosphere more

Providence is definitely NYC's hidden treasure. It gives such a warm and intimate feeling - very romantic. They have a great priced prix fixe dinner (3-course dinner for $35)...can't beat that! The staff is extremely pleasant with a wonderful attitude -- we didn't want to leave! So we didn't - after dinner, we went down to the nightclub where we continued into the night. Perfect place for everything - one stop dining & dancing. Pros: Great atmosphere, large groups, pricing more

I am so happy I took the advice of a radio stations recommendation to visit this restaurant. To begin my visit I entered into a most beautiful atmosphere. From the hostess who seated my partner and I for cocktails, to our waiter Lasco, everything was perfect. Wine choices were made to compliment our meal; the manager Sal was delightful and very professional as he visited each guest to ensure their satisfaction, and our food from appetizer to entrée was to die for. I live in New Fairfield, CT so you can imagine a city event is a well-planned venture, and this restaurant will be visited again as well as recommend to my friends who like fine dinning with resonable prices. Thank you again Providence staff - you and your restaurant are a win win situation. Sincerely, SJS Pros: great food, great staff, great service more

Midtown was needing a place like Providence. Amazing food, attentive staff and great ambiance all makes Providence great for a date. My boyfriend flipped out over the raw bar and the steak was grilled perfectly. We are so pleased, we're thinking of having a large group dinner for our friends. Definitely need to check this place out! Pros: Food, Ambiance, Drinks more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Providence. I arranged a birthday party for 20 people in the main dining room and the experience was flawless. The table was ready before we arrived, the service was great and the food was delicious. Sal, the maitre d', took outstanding care of us from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. After dinner I reserved a table downstairs for bottle service and was given a larger area than I had requested. Our waitress in the Triumph Room was very attentive and we even received a bottle of champagne from Sal as a thank you for our business. I would highly recommend as an all-inclusive, great night out! Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere more

If youre planning on celebrating a special occasion with a group of friends I recommend dinning at Providence. The Major D, Sal is personable & most accommodating. He catered to our partys every need. The menu had something for everyone, such as: seafood, steak and pasta; affordable prices with portions that wont make you leave hungry. The ambiance is fancy during dinning hours turned trendy; Providence turns into a club, Triumph (two other floors open up). Our entire group was granted free admission to the club, it was great not have to try to get 12 people into a club/lounge after dinner; hence the review title. Ive been going out in the city for thirteen years; I consider myself to be a tough critic however this past Saturday I was impressed. My friends kept complimenting me all night for an incredible evening and all I did was make a reservation! Pros: superb service, delicious entrees, inexpensive/ cozy Cons: not one! more

We went to celebrate our anniversary. We were bowled over by the beauty of the restaurant, the food and the sweet staff. Reccomended! more

This is a fantastic place. We are familiar with the Chef's reputation from way back and were anxious to try her new venture. I wasn't prepared for the stunning atmosphere, so grand and cozy at the same time, very special for this part of the city. The food was as magnificent as we had hoped, service friendly and helpful, well-timed. The whole experience worked to make an enchanting evening for my small group of friends. To prove my point, there was a wedding proposal at the next table! (She accepted...) Pros: gorgeous ambiance, cuisine more

We were lucky enough to get invited for New Years Eve and WOW this place was amazing! I couldn't believe it was the old Le Bar Bat we had grown up on. The space was so fantastic that once we heard they were serving dinner we decided to go one night and try it out. We've been back 3 times since - the food and the experience(s) just keep getting better! more

There isn't a place like this in the city. Walking into the place seems like your walking into a lobby of a hotel...but once you get to the end of the hallway and see the dining room..it's quite a surprise. It looks like it used to be a church with it's high ceilings. The food was unbelievable. Each dish was better than the next. On my way out, I booked my next reservation. Pros: food, decor more

Through a recommendation of a friend, we recently went to Providence for dinner. The place is breathtaking. Not until seeing the rafters did I realize this was the same place that I used to go to when I was younger...Le Bar Bat. What a big transformation! The food in itself was something to rave about. The homemade pasta (i'm speechless!). It's my new found favorite restaurant! I can't wait to go back. Pros: Atmosphere, Food, Romance more

fabulous! super! terrific! are only a few words to describe this place. first of all we are all floored with the way this space looks. it's beautiful. the food is matches the decor. we had a shaved artichoke salad and jumbo shrimp cocktail martini and then had baby rack of lamb and little candy shape mushroom pasta. yum yum! the dessert should be wrapped up to have with your loved one in bed. its that heavenly. Pros: beautiful space, great food, fun atmosphere Cons: 3 block walk from sub more
