Providence New American Kitchen

The front desk were unprofessional and my key card seldom worked. But the room was nice, and the hotel is near the convention center.

Overall, Providence is just OK. Our server was initially aggressive, but after the entrees arrived, we did not see him for quite a while, which delayed ordering another glass of Malbec. The food was creative, but each dish was one simple step away from perfection. The cheese curds were fried at too low of a temperature, resulting in a soft, oily mouth feel; however, the presentation and other flavors on the plate were quite well balanced and delicious. The arugula salad lack any sweetness to balance out the deep flavors of the greens; however, the aged cheddar and hint of smokiness were lovely. The mushroom lasagna was beautifully plated and well-prepared; however, the dish comes across as very bland, even with salt added at the table. The brightness of the garlic chip garnish only slightly corrected this. The star of the evening was the Gnocci. It was beautifully prepared and presented, well-balanced with numerous layers of flavor. We will look forward to trying other eateries in the same area before returning. When we return, we will know to order differently.

While the service was excellent, the food not so. The charcuterie platter had 2 small pieces of cheese, the duck ravioli tasted as if it had been cooked, frozen, and reheated. The pasta wasn't even Al dente. I had the wedge salad which met normal salad standards.

My family and I visited before a concert because it was one of the only places in the area accepting reservations. I was unimpressed with the atmosphere - bright lights, seemingly drab decor, and a lot of tan colors. It felt like we were in a knockoff Longhorn Steakhouse. When we arrived, there were very few people in the restaurant, and our service was still slow. The food was good, but definitely overpriced for the portions. I would probably not return, but it would do in a pinch.
