This is a fine restaurant, the food and service are exellent. It's a little noisy becasue the tables are crowed too closely. In our case, the management gave our reservation to another party just before we arrived and we had to wait for a table. No matter how nice they were afterwards (free appetizers) the experience really detracted from the dinner.

We had the pleasure of sitting outside before our PPAC date, John was a pleasure to have help us. We could not recommend him enough, very attentive and gave us such great pointers. My girl got the shrimp pasta and I was sold on the pork medley special, which was and should be a new winter staple of mine!

Great place for brunch- only disappointment was the size of the mimosa cocktail- It had to be the smallest flute I have ever seen! Other than that, the food, service and ambiance were great!

Quintessential New England style restaurant whose location is ideal! My partner and I had the pleasure of being served by Paul, who is remarkably funny & personable. We enjoyed a bit of every offering and left with full bellies and delicious memories. Would recommend making reservations as the restaurant and bar were jam packed at 5:30pm.

Hands down...my favorite spot in Providence! Offers it all. Ambiance, flavors to entice all palates, and the best service. I enjoy sitting in the bar area. The brick walls embracing the warm fireplace and mood lighting...the best! Just had my birthday dinner there. 4th time there in 2 months😊. Our server was John. He was outstanding. His attention to detail was unmatched. I had to change my reservation 3 times because family members kept adding themselves. Waterman Grille didn't miss a beat on accommodating the change. 10 Stars!!!!
