Riviera Portuguese - East Providence

However, I found the service to be a bit underwhelming. It felt like being in a pretend restaurant game with inexperienced staff. For example, I had to ask midway through the meal to have water refilled in my glass, which should have been done when we sat down. The older wait staff were more professional, but overall the service was lacking. Despite this, I will still return to the restaurant in hopes of better service next time.

The Portuguese food portions at this restaurant are unbelievably excellent. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is accommodating. We ordered the littlenecks, Spanish style shrimp, and Mozambique dishes. The atmosphere is beautiful and there is plenty of room for parties and banquets.

My spouse and I visited this restaurant to celebrate our 58th wedding anniversary. The music was a bit bothersome, so I kindly asked the manager if he could change it to something more fitting for a special occasion like an anniversary dinner. Without hesitation, he agreed and switched it to more pleasant tunes. He even congratulated us on our anniversary and treated us to a complimentary drink. The service from the wait staff was attentive and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be coming back again in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen please don't order the Portuguese soup. I worked there in the kitchen,in Bristol. Joe the main cook a quack. The owners cousin who comes from Portugal is a hot hot mess. I was chopping kale for the soup and came across bugs. Itold her we can't use the kale. Well she did. Just ???? awful ????. The owner is a fantastic man. I doubt that he knows whatwent on in the kitchen. He's just a kind man. His daughter did the paperwork for employees nice young lady. He just needs tobe present when they prep. The staff waiters and waitresses are great .

If I would give him a negative star rating! just went there 06/17 with my wife for the early vaterday. What happened to you? I ordered the kalamari who was terrible! my wife almost fucked me! the waiter took it back and brought us one more and worse! it was taken off the bill, but it was so mean. next, my wife ordered filled sole and young what a disappointment! it's not as if the restaurant was busy, we were the only ones in the dining area! I ordered the filet with pommes and reis. blah! no taste and sorry, but I won't be back to this facility anymore!
