We had a very good dinner at New Rivers last weekend. We had reservations which was good since the space is quite small. The service was very good - attentive but not intrusive - and we had a wonderful meal. The food was fabulous! My husband, who is a very "selective" eater thought the menu a bit limiting for his... more

My dinner tonight at New Rivers was nothing short of wonderful! I'm staying in Providence on business, and have made it a point to visit locally-owned restaurants. I found New Rivers based on this site's reviews, and am very glad that I braved the a cold 10 minute walk from my hotel to this cozy and warm little gem on... more

This place is a hidden gem, of sorts. One could easily drive by for years without even knowing it is there. That is truly part of its charm, or shall I say magic? It is unassuming and comfortable, yet simply elegant. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. The servings will not leave you too full, but rather perfectly satisfied... more

My mother-in-laws favorite, and quickly became one of mine as well. New Rivers focuses on incredible food, using only the freshest local ingredients. My wife and I still talk about nights we've had here 5 years ago. If you are ever in Providence, make it a point to have dinner here. more

They are big on local and seasonal foods, all with a unique flair. The icing on the... more

New Rivers focuses on local and seasonal cuisine -- including their desserts. The dessert menu is impressive; the execution is even more fabulous! Kudos to the pastry chef. The rum/praline ice cream is divine and the lemon tart is decadent. Well done! more

What to say... Great food, even better venue that is small and intimate... perfect date night restaurant. more

We've been to New Rivers several times over the years. Each time we go we hope that the food will match the interior; it never does. It's not terrible but it's not very good either and for the money it should be a lot better than it is. This is a very popular place for college students to take their... more

I write a lot of hotel reviews here on TripAdvisor but not a lot of restaurant reviews. I think the reason is that there are very few restaurants in this world that I feel are worth writing more about. I find most restaurants good, but very few upscale restaurants I feel are worth the huge bills that you can easily... more
