hemenway's restaurant

great evening out for a family celebration! nancy, our waitress, was friendly and attentive. when someone in our party asked about the broth in theseafoodstew, she brought out a sample with bread to dip in it. awesome! great selection of fish and shellfish. best in providence. the carnivores will be disappointed but if you want meat, you shouldnt be going there!

went here for my wife's birthday because she lovesseafoodand i had seen this recommended for seafood. we were not disappointed. we both enjoyed the oysters hemenway and lobster with shrimp/scallop/crab stuffing. we had a pleasant surprise that they were offering half-price wine on sunday, so we were able to, with no price guilt, cap the special dinner with a better bottle of champagne than we otherwise would have ordered.

the staff, especially our waiter, were wonderful in making us feel welcome and pampered.

we went dressy for the special occasion and felt good about it, but there were also people there dressed more casually. it was all ok.

pricey, yes. worth it, yes.

great seafood, great steaks. very good if you feel like seafood. definitely our go-toseafoodplace in the area. at times gets a bit busy so make sure you make a reservation, but that's a good thing!! service is consistently up to par. only thing that kinda stinks is parking, but it is what it is. there are a bunch of bars you can shoot over to after dinner as well.

waterfront gem. the quality of theseafoodis stellar and the service is immaculate. with most steakhouses, they haveseafoodbecause it's expected. thisseafoodgrill is spot on with all of the dishes. lobster ravioli, fried oysters, and local fresh shucked oysters are all excellent. this will be my go-to spot in providence.

hemenway’s provided us with a very memorable meal from start to finish. if you are looking to enjoy some ocean-freshseafoodalong wi

a great evening for aseafoodlover. i love going to providence ri because of the food. with the internship program at johnson and wales, it's almost inpossible to find a poorly prepared meal.service can be a different issue.

hemenway's is no exception to qualtiy. this isseafoodat it's best. everything is fresh daily and promptly prepared.seafoodcan be so easliy overcooked but every dish i have had, has been cooked to perfection. portions are huge, the atmosphere is relaxed witha great view of the river and downtown. service is fantastic. the wait staff is attentive but not intrusive.

i would highly recommend hemenway's to anyone visiting providence or if you're traveling up i-95 to boston, it's worth taking a break and getting off of the interstate.

7/10 - the restaurant overall is pretty good but you can hit or miss on the dishes. the aperizers were great (shrimp and crab cakes) but the soups were mediocre. the same with the dishes: myseafoodcaserole was really good but the fish and scallops the other people sitting on the table ordered wasn't that great. if you are looking for healthy food, look elsewere, but if you are looking for decentseafoodthis is decent. i would rather try a new place than eat there again, but i wouldn't mind eating here again

watersideseafoodperfected. if searching for deliciousseafoodand 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, excellent service, terrific waterside location, and consistency in the dining experience.
