Reviews for Persimmon in Providence, RI
Such a fun restaurant. the plates are small but incredibly creative and so delicious. All of the meat was prepared to... perfection. Cocktails were so tasty. Plus the gluten free homemade pasta was such a great surprise for someone with celiacdisease! Can't wait to go back. Read more
The tasting menu and wine pairing was absolutely out of this world. The casual atmosphere with top notch attention to service... really set them apart. The quality of every dish far surpassed our expectations! Read more
Portions were smallish but the food was really, really good. The deviled eggs, corn bread, and scallops were incredible. My... partner and I shared 7 plates and by the last one we were beyond stuffed. So don't get too scared by the portion sizes! Read more
Very good food. Portions look small but actually very filling, I ended up ordering too much. Beef tartare was great, carbonara... had very good freshly made pasta. Yuzu cheese cake was also amazing Read more
We did the tasting menu and wine pairing, both were incredible. The chef came up with the menu on the fly, just because we asked... for it, and every dish was better than the previous one. Dishes are small but flavorful! Read more
An easy 5 stars. From the staff welcome, amouse bouche, wine pairings and chefs tasting menu. Every bite was packed with flavor... and finesse. Best duck breat I've ever eaten. Will definitely be back. Read more
We live closer to Boston, but decided to dine in Providence because we keep experiencing better food and service... there. Service: Robert C. was friendly, funny and helpful. It was our first time and we didn’t know what to order. He helpedus through his favorites and popular dishes. He also got us Steffen, the sommelier, to help us select Slovenian wine. I can’tbelieve they have Slovenian wine! Food: It is more of a “tapas” experience. The plates are small. So we ordered 5 plates toshare among 4 friends in addition to ordering our own “entree.” Robert was super sweet because he brought us candles withour dessert because we told him we were celebrating our birthdays. We love it, Robert. Thank you for being sodetailed-oriented. I was not crazy about dessert, I must confess. We had the Chocolate Tart and the Lime Cheesecake. I’mnormally not crazy about tarts in general and not a fan of lime desserts, but our friends wanted to try them. The limecheesecake was a success. Location: It is on Hope St. It was easy to find parking. Ambiance: We were seated near the kitchenin a super nice enclosed area. I recommend it. Recommendation: The menu for online ordering is easy to read than thein-person-text-heavy-no-spacing-printed menu. I recommend redesigning it to highlight a brief name for the dish with theexplanation next to it like the online menu format and add spacing between items. Read more
Wonderful every time! Great for special occasions. The cocktails are delicious, the apps, entrees, and desserts are all... perfectly executed. Was able to sit at the kitchen bar one night and chatted with the pastry chef while she prepped desserts.Super friendly! Great atmosphere and staff. Read more
