New Rivers

Providence


Every bit as good as they say, this New American bistro has a seasonal menu featuring dishes like rabbit loin with sweet-pea sauce, roasted sole, and beef tenderloin with mushrooms and pearl onions. With soft lighting, walls painted in rich hues of green, red and yellow, and a well-conceived wine list, it's worth a splurge.
