Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Providence

We have a family tradition of eating on “the Hill” on the Sunday before Thanksgiving and this year we chose Massimo. It did not disappoint. The hostess and the servers were excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Not only were the meals delicious, our drinks and deserts were excellent as well! We got to sit upstairs looking out at the city and it added to the experience. I would certainly go back and recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

Service was A+ Leo was wonderful and very attentive to detail and service . Thank you

I have been to Hemenway's in the past and this restaurant never ceases to be top notch. The Service (shoutout to Mia!) was fantastic and the food and atmosphere outstanding. I highly recommend Hemenway's. We were celebrating an anniversary and it was pretty cool that our table was sprinkled with rose petals and we were greeted numerous times with a hearty "Happy Anniversary! by a number of the wait staff and greeters(?). Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants anywhere!

Unexpected gem on the rivers of the quaint Providence town. Portions were unexpectedly large, and the food was just delicious. Only made better by great bartender… Absolutely will patronize the river bistro in the future. 

Nice variety on the menu (we had steak sandwich, fish & chips, sliders, fish tacos and more) and we enjoyed ourselves. Our server was attentive and friendly.
