We both love the vibe, food and price point of Newport's Salvation Cafe. Is there any place in the same genre in in Providence? I'm looking for a place with good energy, but not so loud that we can't carry on a conversation. Thanks.

It's across the street from the old DePasquale Pharmacy (that does have a sign).

The chef/owner of Broadway Bistro (Patrick Lowney) is the former chef of the Salvation Cafe...food and price points are top notch.

The Ribs and Grits appetizer is a dish that nobody should pass this way without trying. It was sensational. The short ribs main was also divine. The only lowlight of the whole meal was the shrimp tempura appetizer. It just didn't seem to work. But a reasonable wine list and comfortable setting more than made up for one weak dish.
