Overall Rating

"As always the experience was delightful. I dined with some family members from Philly who were having a "first time" Hemenway's experience and they were well pleased! Food, drink , ambiance always what I'm looking for. The Calamari was excellent, tender and spicy as always! The Lobster bisque the best in New England and my Hemenway's Seafood Pasta was delicious. I'm ashamed to say I ate it all!(It was enough for two) GREAT FOOD and SUPERB SERVICE."

Review 9 for Hemenway's

Overall Rating

(Good)

"Everytime I am in Providence I have to come to Hemenway's. The food is out of this world. Seafood is always fresh and the steak is cooked to perfection. My only complaint is on special occasions, i.e Valentine's Day, they try to pack as many tables in as they can and this causes the couple next to you to basically be dining with you. Which normal respective people won't mind. But we had this couple next to us that kept staring and made it uncomfortable to hold a conversation."

Review 10 for Hemenway's

Overall Rating

(Good)

"Hemenways is one of our favorite restaurants. We have been going there for 15+ yrs. and have never been disappointed. Our waiter, while very busy, was still attentive. Our food was excellent, and served hot! However, despite our reservation, we still waited 20 minutes for our table(we did manage to find 2 seats at the bar). The arrangement of tables was different from the norm. Instead of comfortable tables which normally seat 2-4 people, parties of 2 were seated at these very small, collapsable, round tables which were uncomfortable and only allowed for one person in the party to view the river. This was disappointing, and it is my hope that this was an isolated incident as it was Val. Day. We will visit again, but"

Overall Rating

(Fair)

"As expected the food was very good. The portions were reasonable. Unfortunately the restaurant tried to maximize on space and added extra tables in order to pack in more people. This made the space cramped and very noisy. Due to the over crowding and additional table changes, the wait staff were confused when delivering as was apparent when on two occasions the staff did not know what went with what table."

"We were seated right away when we arrived and they were very understanding because we were late. Cory was our server and he was great and gave his ideas on dinner selections.He was so nice and put in our appertiser right away, we used the PPAC free appertiser coupon. I didn't care for the salad dressing I picked and he brought 2 others to choose from. He made the dinner stress free. The food was great, especially the butternut squash. We didn't have time for dessert because we had theatre tickets. I would definitely go back."

"I have dined here about 20 times in the last 7 or 8 years. Never has the service been as poor as it was on Valentines day of this year. I realize it is one of your busiest days, however the waiter was exceptionally slow. Other customers that were seated were on main courses before we got our appetizer. This establishment is under new management. It needs to focus on service."

"We went for dinner on a Sat evening before a show. Our waiter (Tom) was fantastic. Clearly this restaurant has long term employees serving their food vs. waitstaff that turns over frequently. Tom knew the menu and wine inside and out, was very attentive, and was very genuine. He managed our time well.
We had the baked stuff lobster. My only complaint was the crab in the stuffing had a bit of a fishy smell. the lobster itself and scallops (in the stuffing) were delicious. Tom had told us that there would be just a sprinkling of crumbs on top and he was right. However, my personal preference would be for something with a little more flavor. We had the Grand Shellfish Platter as an appetizer and that was delicious. Will go back again!"

"This visit marked my third year of birthday celebrations at Hemenway's and each year the restaurant continues to live up to and exceed my expectations. This birthday was a bit special - it was my 40th. Our waiter surprised me with a complimentary Macadamia Shrimp appetizer which I was dying to try and will now be one of my favorites and the warm chocolate cake with strawberry sauce is always a perfect ending. The photo they took and printed for me was very special since I was dining with my 6 and 3 yr old. I would also like to thank Tom, our waiter. I luck out and sit in his section each year and he is always the BEST!! I hope to have the opportunity to continue this tradition for many years to come."

"I was amazed at how easy and efficient making reservations through opentable.com was. My girlfriend and I have had less than great experiences going out for dinner in Providence. For example, often times we have to call for reservations, are put on hold, cannot get the time we want, and once we arrive the service is usually unsatisfactory.
By making reservations through opentable.com, I simply went on line, found an excellent restaurant, was able to get the time we wanted, there was no wait at all, and the service was beyond anything I have ever seen. I would recommend both Hemingway's Restaurant and using opentable.com to schedule your reservations to anyone."

I've heard people say that it is expensive but we thought the prices are reasonable for the quality and service."
