Persimmon

“If you don’t think you’ll get into heaven go here, It’s the closest you’ll get. Staff is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. The menu was explained to us which was helpful and appreciated. As someone who doesn’t eat meat, I was even explained what was vegetarian and what could be prepared to be vegetarian. Everything we had was phenomenal. The butter even comes in cubes! From drinks to salads, pasta, tartar, and even dessert each course exceeded all expectations. Truly one of the best places in Rhode Island.”

“My sons took me here for Mother's Day. My oldest son moved to Providence in the fall and had been wanting to try this restaurant. I must say that our server, Emily C. was engaging, beautiful, funny and made our dining experience AMAZING ! When you hug your server on the way out, you know, they've done something to your heart! The food was incredible! We shared two appetizers, four entrees and two desserts.The cocktails were also incredible! It's definitely worth the money.A special occasion place, and I can't wait to go back! Plan ahead a several weeks to get a reservation time of your preference. Ours was 8:30 🤯 and that was two weeks ahead. We definitely ate later than I would prefer, and I live on the South Shore. But as all parents know, spending time with your children doesn't have a price tag!”

“This was our second visit. We drove from PA just to have dinner here! To say it was worth the 5.5 hour drive is an understatement. The food was phenomenal and we tried almost everything on the menu. From the fresh bread to the tuna tartare, and the black spaghetti to the NY strip. The black spaghetti was like nothing I have ever tasted before and it was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the Hugo Spritz or the Penicillin drinks! If the food wasn’t amazing in itself the service was outstanding! Our top tier waitress Emily was the icing on the cake. She’s attentive, friendly, and makes you feel like you are family! Special applause for Jess, the pastry chef, who made the best passion fruit surprise dessert we have ever had! We decided before we even left the restaurant last night that we would make this a yearly visit to celebrate my son’s birthday! 100/100 recommend this beautiful place. It’s luxury dining without feeling stuffy or uptight. Trust me if you haven’t tried it you are definitely missing out! They made my son’s birthday the best night ever!!”

“great ragu sauce, good flavors and so tender. got orange wine - wasn't the biggest fan but my fault for not tasting. Duck w crispy polenta was quite good, enjoyed the braised vegetables. Good vibes here, nice ambience and great service. Very good date night place. Perfect (unisex) bathroom for selfies (well decorated).”

“Persimmon is my favorite restaurant in Providence. The food is delicious and also beautifully plated. We selected the chef's tasting menu and it was excellent.”
