hemenway's restaurant

it is great! sea food cesar salad is one of the best i ever had. the service isexcellentand the atmosphere and ambiance is classic and casual at the same time.

poor dining experience in a pretty place.... don't let the seemingly attractive ambiance andexcellentlocation fool you into thinking this is a good choice for dinner. unless you're a local celebrity be prepared to wait an hour after your reservation time to be given the privilege of sitting at a table and waiting another 45 minutes for ordering and receiving your food. at this point even if the lobsters came out dancing to the michigan rag it still would rates as a place to avoid unless you're famous or not really hungry. as it turns out there was no dancing lobster - which is a good thing as the waiters couldn't manage to serve the four of us our entre at the same time anyway. two plates came out - then a third 3 minutes later, then the fourth a full 15 minutes later. we couldn't even eat together. the food was nothing special. hemenway's fell far short in every category. $175 for four people (not including drinks) for the worst experience of our trip.

waterside seafood perfected. if searching for delicious seafood and the freshest oysters, look no further than this fabulous restaurant. located on s.main street, this restaurant offers a wide variety of fish, shellfish, and steaks that you can guarantee are only the freshest cuts and are cooked to perfection. a highly recommended option is the lobster-bisque, or the raw oyster bar (if you're into that sort of thing as i am). service is professional and always knowledgeable, adding to the dining experience.

be sure to drop by during providence's "waterfire" evenings, as this restaurants locale will seat you with spectacular views with a classy crowd in business-casual attire. if on a time crunch, be sure to at least stop by the elegant upstairs bar that offers a great wine list and cocktail menu. hemenway's is a terrific spot for the freshest seafood,excellentservice, terrific waterside location, and consistency in the dining experience.
