From the OpenTable editors: Providence is the restaurant that seafood dreams and celebratory dinners are made of: James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Cimarusti puts sustainability front and centre for his two-MICHELIN-Starred tasting menus featuring the likes of Santa Barbara spot prawns, Golden Kaluga caviar, and Columbia River king salmon. Expect excellent wine pairings, white tablecloths, and exceptional service that doesn’t feel stuffy – just the way LA fine dining should be.

    I doubt you can have a finer meal in Los Angeles. The care in the selection, preparation and presentation of the food, is obvious. It really doesn't get any better. The friendly, informative and very attentive service takes it all over the top. If you can afford the extravagance, do it! I promise you will not be disappointed.

    We were visiting Los Angeles from Washington DC. I heard wonderful things and saw great reviews about Providence. Wonderful experience at Providence. We sat at the chef’s table. The staff was excellent and professional. They answered all questions and requests. Chef Micheal Cimarusti was very gracious and welcoming. His food was delicious and the presentation of the food was beautiful and elegant. Definitely would dine again at Providence. It was an amazing experience and wonderful night.

    What an utterly extraordinary experience. Unquestionably the best Michelin starred restaurant we have had the humbling pleasure to experience. It is frankly ridiculous that this restaurant does not have three stars. Special kudos to our new friend Martin who elevated the entire experience with his deeply knowledgeable service. The chef and ownership have created perhaps the best restaurant in the US.

    Fires on all cylinders - service (!!), food (!!!) and atmosphere. You are treated like friends, not royalty, with service that’s approachable and masterful without being overly solicitous. Each dish represents the best version of its ingredients and introduces you to flavors you didn’t think possible. Yes, it is a pricey night out but I’d take one dinner here over three dinners at a place that’s…fine.

    The food is good, and the service is good. The restaurant must’ve been greedy to cram in so many tables, and there are trashy people dining next to us who are very loud and talking about brothels..

    The most stand out point at our visit was the restaurant's impeccable service. They were very meticulous in creating a pregnancy friendly meal for me and explaining each component of my substitutions during the meal. When asked how each course was prepared, they responded with detailed answers. One suggestion I would make is to have the host/hostess offer suggestions on which entree to choose for a special diet customer. I did have to proactively ask about how the wagyu & duck entrees were normally cooked as I assumed they are served medium rare (too undercooked for a pregnant woman). However, they did kindly offer to cook them well done for me when I asked. Other than that, I fully enjoyed majority of the courses. The only course I didn't enjoy was the silken tofu substitute for the sashimi course. I felt the pickled component overpowered the delicate tofu and threw the dish off balance. My husband absolutely enjoyed the dessert courses especially the chocolate petit fours.
