Claudine

“April 2026: Claudine has a 10 course tasting menu. I've attached a photo of the menu on the day that we were there so I won't list all the dishes here. The presentation is first rate and the service is extremely attentive. I enjoyed the seafood dishes more than the meat dishes. My least favorite was the duck sausage, my favorite was the scallop.”

“We had a truly joyous experience dining at Claudine. It’s rare that I associate eating out with ebullience, but this experience was just so delightful and fun. The space is beautiful, cozy, and intimate, and while you are attended to with all the care of a fancy restaurant, it doesn’t feel stuffy at all. The host and servers were lively, eyes twinkling as they proffered a plate of cheese for examination or rolled the bar cart over to our table, its load of bottles tinkling. The food also emerged from the kitchen with that same spirit of vitality, course after course lively and inventive. Favorites included the frothy, salty, entirely oceanic oyster with a tongue of orange uni floating in a pool of champagne foam. It was the perfect starter, an introduction to the ocean state in edible form. There was an unexpected delight in form of a bourbon barrel aged maple mousseline covered in a brown butter espuma and with a hidden scoop of briny, rich caviar poking through the foam. Utterly delightful. Everything was. While this is definitely a special occasion kind of place, and the prices are nothing to sneeze at, it’s very much worth it.”

“My husband and I closed out 2025 with an intimate evening at Claudine. An outstanding experience – chic atmosphere, impeccable service, lovely presentation, all anchored by a delicious, decadent tasting menu. How wonderful that Chefs Maggie McConnell and Josh Finger have brought their talents to Providence. Claudine is a jewel! Standouts from our meal included the Imperial Osetra Caviar (Florida red shrimp, Marsh Hen Mill, polenta, preserved winter truffle) and the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu (brussels sprout, Hakurei turnip, whole grain mustard, sauce Foyot.) What we appreciated most, however, was the thoughtful, non-alcoholic pairing. We selected this when we made our reservation. So often NA options are limited or even dismissed in fine dining, but not at Claudine. Every pairing was well crafted and explained with the enthusiasm of a seasoned sommelier. Other restaurants take notes! Our final course of Gingerbread Glace (cranberry, brown sugar, Buddha’s hand) came with a tiny gingerbread man perched atop dessert. When I wanted to take the cookie as a souvenir, our server found an empty finishing salt tin to keep Mr. Gingerbread safe in my purse. It was a cute touch, reflective of the care Claudine puts into every bite. We’ll certainly return. P.S. I’m reminded to mention that my husband won his Fantasy Football Championship while we were at dinner, so it’s a lucky spot ;)”

“Claudine is the new gold standard for fine dining experiences. Maggie and Josh were clearly meticulous in creating this restaurant. And that can be seen, first and foremost, in the dishes, which were all innovative, balanced, and perfectly executed. My favorites were the oyster with sea urchin, beet salad, and caviar with raw scallop supplement as well as both desserts. But their level of thoughtfulness also extends to the atmosphere they've created (chic but inviting) and in the service (knowledgeable, friendly, and without pretension). I highly recommend the wine pairing. The sommelier described each pairing with such mastery and enthusiasm; it was as exciting listening to him as it was drinking the wine. I look forward to getting back to Claudine as soon as possible!”

“There are no other words than wow. From the moment I sat down, every detail of the evening felt intentional and flawless. Each plate that was served not only looked like a work of art but delivered layers of flavor that left me wanting more. The wine pairings felt like a natural extension of the dish, enhancing and deepening the experience with every sip. The service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced, allowing me to fully enjoy each course without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere struck a balance between refined and inviting, creating the kind of setting where you can completely immerse yourself in the food and the moment. Though I am only visiting Providence, this dining experience has left such a lasting impression that it makes me want to return again, just to relive it. Truly impeccable from start to finish.”
