Concierge "Michael Cimarusti... continues to turn out some of the best seafood in the city."
Fodor's "Obsessed with quality and freshness, the meticulous chef maintains a network of specialty purveyors, some of whom tip him off to their catch before it even hits the dock." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Signature favorites include the Wild Striped Bass and Kanpachi Sashimi, complimented by excellent desserts and an extensive cellar." Full review
Rough Guide "Near the top of the LA pricey-restaurant scale, and for good reason: the place is swarming with foodies, who come for the black sea bass, foie-gras ravioli, lump blue crab and plenty of other tremendous choices."
Time Out "Very few restaurants aim for, little less achieve, the level of grace exhibited nightly at Providence." Full review
