Wonderful
A great feast of sea bounty. Creative, interesting, fun. Service top without attitude. Sommelier particularly good. Very expensive but for a major celebration...
Been @ Providence Few Times During Holiday Trips w Family & Friends Years Ago. 2019 L.A 🌟 🌟 Michelin. Exquisite Fine Dining & Classy Elegant Decor. Each Time Order Chef’s Tasting Menu ; The Food Served In Artistic Presentation. Excellence / Superb. Best French + Seafood Fine Dining @ L.A. Memorable Evenings 🤩 🥰 🥂 🍷
The food is precious and artfully presented here. Some men might complain that they leave hungry, but it is a treasure of a restaurant, and if you come here for a special occasion, they will give you a printed menu for your occasion to keep as a souvenir. Their wine list is excellent, as is all of their creative and beautiful seafood dishes. I highly recommend ordering the chef's tasting menu.
Best meal of my life! Its worth every penny. Food was astoundingly good, Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and ambience peaceful.

I enjoyed one of the best meals of my life at Providence. It's the kind of place you save up for... and it is worth every penny. The food is astoundingly good, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is peaceful. You can actually hear your dinner companions speak. I went with friends and came away with a very happy tummy and memories for a lifetime.
Best occasion restaurant in Los Angeles unless you are wealthy enough to eat there everyday (in which case, go for it). Exquisite food and service, hushed interior without any stodginess. We do not drink alcohol and, unlike many other highly rated restaurants here or in NY & Paris, we weren't treated like unsophisticated knuckle draggers/cola drinkers for that. I can't remember everything we ate, but it was all delicious as well as beautiful on the plate.
Excellent food
It's a wonderful place -- excellent food. But for me, it's just too expensive. I guess Michelin stars mean you can charge a lot. But I'd rather pay a bit less and go more often.
Great seafood restaurant! Attentive staff, good selection of wines, very elegant interior, and nice atmosphere overall. The salt prawn that they cook right by your table was the highlight of our meal! We did find it a little pricey ($450 for two with wine), but I guess that’s expected from a two-star Michelin restaurant. I had a fantastic birthday dinner there!
“Let’s go to Pink’s after dinner, if we’re still hungry,” I told Catboy, knowing that there might be a possibility that we might have some room left in our bellies after a fancy dinner at Providence. I knew there would be about a 50/50 chance. Does anyone else ever do that? What is it about going out to a fine dining restaurant to eat overpriced fancy food that sometimes leaves more to be desired in the end, and then wanting to hop on over somewhere for a quick, cheap, fast foodish type of meal? Maybe it is a combination of the fact that fine dining is all about fancy presentation and tiny portions coupled with a subconscious need to restore normalcy. Unless you’re a baller shitting out money, a dinner at Providence isn’t an everyday meal. Plus, I was curious to try the Dodger Blue hotdog at Pink’s, back when Dodger fever was going on when they were on their way to losing the World Series.
One of L.A.'s best
Unparalleled seafood and more. Fantastic service as well. Naturally the cost is a bit more than average, but not unreachable--completely worth it.
We sat at the bar and it was a great experience. Great atmosphere and service. Everything was fantastic.
The only dish that we really didn't enjoy was the truffle risotto. Felt there wasnt much flavor and though they put a very healthy serving of white truffle, I can't say I really tasted anything.
The uni egg though was amazing and the duck was also stellar!!! Every other course was equally good!
Highly recommend anyone to go here
I went here for a friend's birthday and it was an incredible experience. From the moment you walk in, they take your coat and seat you before actually seating you at the table. I have never been served by so many waiters/ waitresses in my life. Every item of food was well crafted and balanced. Despite having multiple fish dishes, the were all unique from one another. Honestly, this is the only place so far who has prepared rockfish or swordfish to my liking. The scallop chip needs to be made into a regular snack because I would need it every week. If you need to go the restroom they will escort you there. Plates and utensils were changed out for each dish to enhance the experience. While this restaurant is pricey it is worth going at least once for the experience.
Amazed by the service we received, everyone’s professional, friendly, attentive yet gave guests their space. Highlight of the night were the sashimi dish (wonderfully pickled vegetables, loved the hints of passionfruit in the sauce), the sourdough bread and the chocolate dessert. The other dishes were nice too but presentation over taste, the 2 fish dishes (sea bass, swordfish) one after the other can be slightly repetitive, so with the choice, suggest to go with the duck or beef, tho the wagyu’s on the fattier side. Love the truffle pasta add on, fair priced for what’s offered. The whole dinning experience did relay a sense of sharing the love for food than just running a business.
I honestly can’t put into words how incredible our experience was here. From beginning to end the service was exemplary, the food was out of this world & the desserts were a true work of art. They are big on sustainability and reusing parts of food that are normally thrown out & I love that about this place. I absolutely loved how they personalized our menu at the top to say happy anniversary!! If you want 2 star Michelin experience, this is where you need to go. You will not leave hungry I promise!
I cant believe i havent been to this place before. This is something of a worldwide quality. Everythin, I mean everything we tried was fantastic. Thats an achievement. I have tried many michellin 3 stars and was many times dissappointed on the fakeness of things. This place also has a fantastic bar with best choices of spirits and wine. They keep bees on the roof to make honey for their cocktail. Omg. Basically a 5 star for everything. Good job!!
Providence restaurant stands out for its remarkable consistency in delivering an impressive array of flavors and dishes. The menu offers a delightful variety that caters to diverse palates, ensuring there is something for everyone. The attention to detail in the plating and presentation of each dish is truly exceptional, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. The food itself is not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty, showcasing the skill and expertise of the chefs. Moreover, the restaurant's interior design is distinctively captivating, adding an extra layer of charm and sophistication to the dining experience at Providence.
Delicious! Had the best dinner here- everything was good. The rockfish, scallop, halibut we’re amazing along with the wagyu. Great presentation and flavors. A must! Glad we came here.
Amazing restaurant. There's a reason why they have Michelin stars to their name. The food was amazing and service was impeccable. You get what you pay for here. Surprisingly, the seafood based dishes were the most delicious and the desserts were amazing. Carlos and John were awesome and made the night an even better experience. Overall, I have to recommend that everyone should try Providence at least once in their lives. Also amazing selection of whiskeys and bourbons.
My wife and I went here for our third anniversary this past weekend. From the beginning, it was a magical experience we had the honor of sitting at the chef's table and watching a bustling kitchen of focused, motivated chefs and sous-chefs prepare food until almost midnight. There are so many members that waited on us and insured that we were smiling during the entire dinner. The 8-course meal was exquisite although at least two or three other items were served. Definitely appreciate the option for a non-seafood item as part of the entree, but everything from the sashimi, oysters, lobster, to the duck, wagyu beef, and the mango dessert were succulent. Probably the best of wine I've had with any dinner as well. We wish we could have spent more at Providence. Please be prepared to spend at least two and a half hours to truly enjoy experience here.
This was one of my favorite dining experiences yet. Every course was such a hit. The macadamia/caviar course and the uni egg were both some of my favorite dishes that I have ever eaten, I was just in heaven with every bite. I had never heard of John Dory till I dined here, it was so fun to try a new fish and I was in love with the way that they prepared it! It had such unique and delicious flavors. The chocolate dessert was so delectable and the apple one was extremely refreshing.
I really wish that they gave you menus at the end but I loved that they gave us a providence bag as well as some house made granola on our way out!
