    Our dining experience at Drift was great! The environment was very lovely and energetic. The food portions were great and it helped that we had an awesome server by the name of Jerimiah. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions. We also enjoyed his signature drink! We will definitely be back once the weather gets better so we can enjoy the outside water view! Much success to this establishment:)

    Wow! This place exceeded our high expectations. The ambiance was low key and classy. Our waiter Andrew was superb drinks were great. We split lobster cakes I had the Elk chops and wife had the salmon and both were done to perfection. Topped it off with peanut butter dessert that I can’t even describe but will have again. Serious 5 Stars!

    First time here and it was a great experience. We came for lunch on Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t too busy. The food was delicious! I got the salmon and my date had the chicken skewers. Both were delicious! The atmosphere was nice with dim lighting so it provided a kind of romantic setting which is wonderful for a date. I highly recommend!

    Just had a killer night at Napa on Providence with a couple of friends. We snagged seats at the bar and dove into the harissa cauliflower, whipped goat cheese, and octopus. The harissa cauliflower had just the right kick, the whipped goat cheese with pickled beets and truffle honey was a creamy delight, and the octopus was tender and flavorful.  Our server, Gigi, was on point—super friendly and knew her stuff. The vibe was laid-back yet classy, making it a perfect spot to unwind. If you’re looking for a place with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Napa on Providence is a solid choice.
