Waterman treated me really good for my birthday. Thank you for the hospitality. Our host Noah was exceptional at his job and provided us with great service and great recommendations. The drinks we had were good especially the espresso martini which was surprisingly delicious. For starters we had the deviled eggs which were okay not really memorable compared to the cheese board and the crab cakes which is a must! So delicious we wanted more. For our entrées we had the beef stroganoff and the pork chop. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, plated well, and tasted incredible. The beef stroganoff was actually delicious and filling. The Mac and cheese was weak so next time I’ll pass and the carrots were good but not $9.00 good. To end we had the crème brûlée, we could not put our spoons down. All in all I had a really great birthday dinner and the service and the food makes me want to come back for more. Thank you again.

Exceptional Corporate Hosting and Impeccable Service
We recently hosted our company holiday party in the Riverview Room at Waterman Grille, and the experience was, in a word, flawless. From the initial planning phases to the final dessert course, the professionalism displayed by the entire team was of the highest caliber.
The Planning & Coordination
The organizing team made the preparation process entirely seamless. They were consistently accessible, proactive with updates, and ensured that every detail was accounted for well before we arrived. For a leadership team that values clear commitment and accountability, their transparency was greatly appreciated.
The Culinary Experience
The menu exceeded all expectations. The passed appetizers set a high standard for the evening, followed by a dinner that was executed with precision:
Starters: The New England Clam Chowder and Caesar salad were fresh and perfectly seasoned.
Main Courses: The Lobster Ravioli and Filet were standout dishes, cooked to perfection and served promptly.
Dessert: We concluded with the Cheesecake and Chocolate Compote Cake, both of which were decadent and well-received by our entire staff.
The Service Staff
While the food and the beautiful views of the Riverview Room were lovely, the service truly set this evening apart. The bartenders and wait staff operated at a level of finesse seldom seen. I would like to specifically commend the Event Captain (our main point of contact for the evening), whose attention to detail was extraordinary. They anticipated our needs before they were voiced, making our team feel truly valued and appreciated throughout the night.
If you are looking for a venue in Providence that understands the nuances of high-level service and culinary excellence, I cannot recommend Waterman Grille highly enough. We look forward to returning.

A true gem. Despite not having a reservation the hostess was able to find us a great table with a beautiful view on a Friday night. Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was amazing and surprisingly not that expensive as you would expect walking in.

The Waterman Grille is a beautifully restored historic gem and a true Providence staple, set right along the water’s edge. The menu consistently offers unique, modern interpretations of classic dishes, each one thoughtfully executed and delicious. While the prices can lean on the higher side, the stunning waterfront views and charming ambiance make every visit feel entirely worthwhile.

Our girls were hungry and we needed a place to stop and eat. We were seated with a view of the river and enjoyed mussels and a burger.
Inside was quaint and nicely decorated. We all loved it!
Our hostess was so nice and quick to fill our dri ks or take care of us.

Waterman Grille is a great location for a meal and drinks for any occasion. The bar is very comfortable as well as the inside dining room. They have an outdoor deck which is completely sealed in for the winter but still has a great view and is very warm. The food and service was fantastic as always. We went for my wife’s birthday and they even brought out complimentary dessert. I would highly recommend Waterman if you’re looking for a cozy place to have a great experience in Providence!

I had brunch here & absolutely loved my experience. It’s in a beautiful area of Providence, right on the water. I ordered the Roasted Vegetable Caesar Salad w/ Hanger Steak. The flavors were absolutely delicious. I also ordered a Wellness Mocktail, which was so light & refreshing. My server was very nice & attentive. They have outdoor seating & the views were amazing. This has easily become one of my favorite spots

Thanks to our server Mitchell we had a lovely anniversary dinner. The food was incredible. We had the Cornish hen and the cod. The service stellar. There was a card signed by the wait staff waiting on our table, what a wonderful surprise. And they treated us to dessert. We can’t wait to return.

You pay top price food is delicate this is not where you go to get stuffed this is a place you go to have an experience. The male waiter was excellent with getting everything beyond my expectations.
