Customer Reviews
Top tasting menus I've had. Worth all 5 stars! What this place does with seafood was magical. I was able to get a bar seating (they do the full tasting menu there). The service is next level. Every staff member anticipates your next move and is ready to go and so well knowledgeable at the menu. Sitting at the bar made it more interactive. The progression was a good paced and so many delicious bites. Everything was solid but my favorites were the abalone, uni eggs,caviar, and black cod. Also the amuse bouches were all so creative and a great way to start a meal. The dishes were aesthetically beautiful. Everything balanced on the palette.
I have a lot of solo dining experiences due to work travel, and this was one of the best. Not only did Providence allow me to start earlier than anticipated, they also had a delightful bartender who provided me some excellent reading material as I dined (I do like to read between dishes when I dine alone). The spot prawn are in season and very good, and the other dishes are lovely as well. Appreciate the attention to detail, including touches on the food such as flowers from the rooftop garden. Photos of just a few of the dishes are attached
A 2-Michelin Star fish-focused restaurant in Hollywood. I really enjoyed my meal at Providence. The tasting menu consisted of plate after plate of delicately crafted and beautifully presented fish dishes. Dishes like the canapés, caviar and potato, salt-baked Santa Barbara king prawn, roasted scallop, and salmon main dish were particular standouts. I was slightly underwhelmed by the desserts, especially the citrus-based pre-dessert, which I thought was too simple and slightly undersweetened. Overall, it was a great experience.
In looking for someplace to take my visiting mother for dinner, I stumbled upon Providence. The venue has a fantastic ambiance and we were greeted and seated promptly.... Starting with a cocktail, the menu of libations is quite varied and interesting. The tasting menu is what one would come for, but there are several options to start, including caviar service, to tailor your experience. The tasting menu itself has options for the main course to suit every taste. I chose the duck, but there was also a wagyu beef option. The is a fantastic wine selection available should you choose to have wine with dinner. However, there are two wine pairing options available, classic and premium, that are worth considering.
