    Went for a family gathering as a party of six. The restaurant is attractive although the only table large enough for us was in the back of the room. It was lively enough that we felt like we were out in a popular spot, but not so noisy to make conversation difficult. The staff were friendly and attentive. The high point was the food. Its true the oysters are small, but they were tasty. We had six different entrees and every one was good. We all enjoyed the experience.

    Providence Oyster Bar is one of our favorite places to dine on Federal Hill. Our server was Kelly and she is knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and fun to be around. I have celiac, and she takes good care of that. We try to get here at least once a month.

    Great experience! Bartenders Adam and Aiden were incredibly friendly and attentive as was our server. I had the sesame crusted Ahi Tuna and my wife had the grilled swordfish both of which were delicious. The couple we dined with had the baked stuffed shrimp and the lobster gnocchi, both of which they raved about. Just a wonderful dining experience and would definitely recommend the Providence Oyster Bar to everyone!

    My wife and I had a wonderful meal pregame of the PC basketball game last Saturday. After a couple spicy margaritas accompanied by clams casino we had scallop and haddock that were delectable. Ryan was our server and he was attentive and very helpful. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Providence as it is consistently fresh and cooked right.

    Swordfish was overcooked and dry but the rest was excellent. I’d go back.
