Providence Restaurant for Waterfire Evening

[pamE]

A small group of us (5) will be going to Waterfire in mid-August and would like to have a nice meal before the lighting, so 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Any suggestions?

a quick search of these boards for "Providence" and "waterfire" yields quite a few threads that may help.

What price point are you aiming for? Is sitting outside important to you?

[pamE]

Not uber expensive (maybe $20-$25 per entree), and sitting outside would be very nice, but not a necessity.

I don't have recent experiences to go by, so maybe another Chowhounder will weigh in on how these places are these days. I've always liked Parkside and as far as they know they still have tables out on the sidewalk. Hemenways has some decent outdoor seating. Great proximity to Waterfire for both.
