Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Providence

The place was empty when we arrived, but filled up fast. It was our first visit here, and the waitress did a great job explaining the menu, pizza size/options and recommended appetizers. The chicken wing appetizer came out quickly; one of our two pizzas arrived after that and then the waitress came back to explain that our other pizza had been overcooked and was too burnt to be served. She apologized and put in a new pizza order for us, but at that point the restaurant was full of diners and the re-do wasn’t expedited. Basically, it took well over an extra half hour for our second pizza to arrive. My kids had already finished the first pizza while my wife and I continued to wait. They did take the second pizza off the bill as a courtesy, but I have no idea why they couldn’t get that redone second pizza out of that kitchen faster. A coal fired oven probably cooks up a pizza in a minute or two, not 30+ minutes. The pizza itself wasn’t nearly as crispy as the waitress described it to be. While parts of the crust were charred, the middle was floppy/soggy and the toppings fell off most pieces. Meh. The service here was good and the appetizer was tasty but the pizza was just disappointing. The delay in cooking the replacement pizza was just unreasonable… dinner took two hours total. We probably won’t go back.

This was a great experience: The food was delicious from the appetizer to the dessert. The service was superb. The best I have had in a long time. The atmosphere was joyous while fine dining. I would highly recommend Chardonnays!

Great service and food! The pulled pork and cornbread are delicious

Wonderful evening at Davenport’s enjoying good food with family. Excellent, attentive service.

Lovely Mother’s Day brunch with my boys. Was it worth $50 per person. I’m not 100% sure. I understand with inflation etc. Maybe I would have expected at least one adult beverage included. For example one mimosa included with the price. We all enjoyed the food. I understand we paid for the experience. We like the trap and have enjoyed dinner and drinks there before. And will continue to do so. But I’m just not sure the brunch was worth the cost. I’m honestly not complaining. My husband and I went back that very night for a few drinks and appetizers.
