Providence New American Kitchen

My family and I visited before a concert because it was one of the only places in the area accepting reservations. I was unimpressed with the atmosphere - bright lights, seemingly drab decor, and a lot of tan colors. It felt like we were in a knockoff Longhorn Steakhouse. When we arrived, there were very few people in the restaurant, and our service was still slow. The food was good, but definitely overpriced for the portions. I would probably not return, but it would do in a pinch.

Came here for happy hour on a weekday. They have a sit down section and a bar section, apparently happy hour is only served in the bar section. The happy hour menu has a decent variety of staple items. We got the onion rings, fries, burger, pork belly, and salmon rilette. Each item was pretty tasty. The portions are decent for the happy hour prices. GOOD * Pork belly - The skin has been baked so that it's quite crunchy, but the inside is still juicy, and it's covered with a sweet sauce that accents the pork well. MEH * Fried Chicken - Ordered their fried chicken. It's a decently sized, has a nice crunchy breading, and juicy succulent meat, but it has no flavor besides the inherent chicken flavor.

The front desk were unprofessional and my key card seldom worked. But the room was nice, and the hotel is near the convention center.
