Bluefin Grille — Restaurant in Providence

I’m not sure it would be worth eating here if you weren’t already staying at the hotel. The small menu had a good amount of variety, but the descriptions provided were a lot more promising than what was actually delivered. I ordered the papardelle bolognese (which I believe was one of, if not the most expensive items on the menu) and was thoroughly unimpressed. It was a vegan dish that lacked flavor and the pasta, which I’m assuming was homemade, tasted over cooked and was difficult to chew. I ended up eating not even half and didn’t bother bringing the rest back to my room with me. Someone else in my party ordered the prosciutto and fig flatbread, which was yummy but absolutely should not have been called a flatbread. The dough was so thick that at some points we had to cut the pizza with a fork and knife because we couldn’t bite through it. The calamari appetizer and fish and chip entree were both decent. Our waitress though, I believe her name was Kim, was phenomenal, very kind...

Nice place for a holiday lunch. It was quiet with plenty of room. So conversation, even at a big table, was easy with everyone. The food was good and prices ok. I preferred the decor (which is seen in the Google photo here) before the renovation that they did a couple of years ago. Now it felt a bit less warm and cozy. The table service was fine but I had called a week earlier to make a reservation (for 8 people) but apparently that never made it to the Grille. I think I ended up talking to the front desk when I made the reservation. So, our table was not ready when we got there. Since it was not busy, they were able to get us setup fine. But we had to wait and I'm not sure that our server and the kitchen staff were ready for a big group. The wait for food was a bit long. It was a great location for my work team to come in from their remote work locations. Centrally located and...

Clean friendly atmosphere, but food and service left much to be desired. Being that this is the only restaurant in the hotel, one would expect it to be on point with everything. It took forever to get appetizers (fried calamari and margherita flatbread both were luke warm and sub par) the wait for three entrees and 1 kids meal seemed like an eternity. Ordered the basic burger and fries. Fries had that "I've been in the freezer and they just dumped me quickly in some hot oil" taste - which I wouldn't expect for almost a $15 meal. Server checked on us, but so infrequently, that when I had to send my burger back to be better cooked, the burger came back warm and fries where cold. Kind of disappointed. Wouldn't go back and would recommend guests either take the shuttle to the mall for more dining options or take a short Uber ride to downtown where there are even...
