Providence is cozy and the sublime experience to have when in Los Angeles. Great service from the beginning to the end. Food is a celebration for your taste buds .

While the service and experience is excellent, it isn't anything special if you're looking for something particular. Everyone is attentive and you're never left waiting for anything This is not one of those meals where you come out and need a burger after. When I first saw how short the menu looked, I was a little disappointed. But then the 4 amuse bouche came out (not on the menu) and the portions of each plate were actually pretty decent. I was actually stuffed before we got to the main entree (duck for me). And even after the two desserts on the menu (which I barely finished), there were like 4 other mini desserts that came out The dishes are very protein heavy, you feel you're getting bang for your buck. I'm not even a big seafood person but every dish tasted excellent. We did supplement the uni egg which really did taste good. It is a very smell portion- not that I wanted more of it but that it's pretty pricy. I also appreciated that they incorporate things like the tehachapi grain project in their sourdough (excellent btw, even when I ate it the next day a little stale) and trying to be zero waste with their cocoa tea and syrup. The bees sneeze was a yummy drink- I love that they have their own bee hives. Some of their reserve cocktails are priced out of this world... im so curious. Of the 2 star Michelin restaurants of LA, providence is probably the easiest to get a reservation and the most affordable. I think it's a great bang for your buck place to go with better-than-usual but expected restaurant experience. $20 valet at the corner.

This is my second time to Providence. This time I brought a friend along and as before it was a five star experience across the board. The food is immaculate. The service is above and beyond as the entire restaurant waits on you. It is a serene environment that allows you to enjoy not just the food but the experience of being served the food and experiencing the stories behind the food. I indulged in the $100 margarita and it was indeed one of the best margaritas I've ever had. We kept taking about it all night. Don't feel pressured into adding any of the supplement dishes. Honestly. The fixed menu they serve is MORE than enough. We went for adding the 2 prawns and I don't think those were worth the money and didn't add anything to an already extraordinary meal. We actually turned down the cheese course near the end because it was just too much. A must visit!

Providence is probably one of the very best restaurants I have ever been to. Top 50, for sure. I ordered the Salman and so did my wife. It was superb. We ordered a few bottles of white wine (red wine is low class). They were pretty good. and one of them was brilliant. Neither of us are big on dessert, so I got the Tiramisu (yes, I understand how that was phrased and it was done so on purpose. It is quite costly... like a down payment on a cheap, new car. Worth it to try.

There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said about Providence. The seafood courses were obviously impeccable and worthy of its stars. The supplements, particularly the uni egg and truffle pasta are worth their cost. The service was friendly but not overbearing. Like with all fine dining, be mindful of the start time when making your reservation, you're in for a fun, but long, meal.

My first time here, we opted for bar seating. The bar is within range of the front door draft which is noticeable upon arrival. The staff does offer a cover of some kind (there's a fancy word for it, but I don't recall) to keep warm. January in Los Angeles isn't too cold. Dim lighting. Everything one expects from a Michelin 2 is evident here. Service is top notch, each dish was described perfectly, loved the wine pairings. The staff inquired if the cadence and rhythm of course service worked for us, it was fine. Bantering with the bartender added to the experience. He was happy to answer all of our questions and provided interesting tidbits and fun facts about the Providence cocktail world. Seems as if he wears many hats, he even explained some of our dishes. The food is incredible. The menu is slanted towards seafood, so we chose the Wagyu and Duck as the primary meat courses, which blew our minds. Loved the scallop and striped bass. Bottom line, up and down the menu, is a commitment to excellence.

We had our anniversary dinner at Providence and it was a unique experience, but not our favorite. Service: From the beginning, we were given a menu with "Happy Anniversary" written on top. Our water glasses were never empty. Most of the utensils were switched out after each course. However, the utensil rest was used with multiple courses, which made it sticky. I accidentally touched it because the one I had (a swan) did not hold my utensils very well. I had to wash my hands from the stickiness. I felt like at Meteora (another Michelin star restaurant), the servers were more observant with wiping away parts of the table that were dirty after each course as well. It wasn't bad, but servers should be better at a two Michelin star restaurant. Servers explained the dishes well and they even asked if the courses were coming out quickly enough for us. Food: The first courses of amuse bouche were my favorite. Everything from the rice cracker cups to the sea urchin butter to the wagyu cigars were amazing. The sashimi was also very fresh and tasty. One of my favorite dishes, at many places including this one, was the chawanmushi, which was perfect for a cold day. What I didn't care for were the 2 fish dishes, including the rockfish and the monkfish. They were tasteless to me. We had codfish at Baroo later in the week (another tasting menu restaurant) and it had the fresh fish taste which was missing from here. I wish I ordered my husband's flavorful duck breast instead. The desserts were plentiful and all of them tasted great. The Hawaiian chocolate dessert had a "Happy Anniversary" sign and a candle. It was really good chocolate pudding. They also gave us house made chocolate bars to take home. However, I am not much of a sweets person. If it wasn't for all the desserts, I would not have been full. For the price, it was a fun experience to try, but we wouldn't be back. There are many better and less expensive tasting menu restaurants in LA. Courses that night: 1. Complimentary amuse bouche of rice cracker cup, shima aji tartar, basil ginger vinegar 2. Complimentary amuse bouche of sea urchin butter from Hokkaido 3. Complimentary amuse bouche of nori cracker with smoke cod belly, pickled nori 4. Complimentary amuse bouche of wagyu beef tartar cigars 5. Kaluga caviar 6. Sashimi 7. Abalone chawanmushi 8. Scallops with squash 9. Vermillion rockfish 10. Monkfish 11. Coconut, hibiscus sorbet 12. House made Hawaiian chocolate 13. Complimentary desserts of Pear almond pastry cream, Raspberry and lime macaron, Salted caramel tart with bourbon infused whip cream, mousse of chocolate We also ordered an additional course of uni egg.

Two Michelin star meal with on point service. Everything was so well thought out and it was a lovely experience to celebrate New Year's Eve. We paid for the meal when making the reservation (tip included) so you just need to pay for the drinks/any additional add-ons like oysters or white truffle. We had an 11 course menu and left feeling stuffed. Valet parking is available but we found street parking. This is a good spot to celebrate a special occasion. There is a private room for larger groups as well. We ate the following: - Amuse bouche - hash brown with uni, preserved Meyer lemon, and white truffle. This was a great start to the meal. - Spiny lobster in brioche and black truffle. my dad promptly declared it to be the best food he's ever tasted. - Wagyu beef tartare wrapped in a puff pastry with truffle aioli and a truffle goldfish. The meat was tender and even. - Wild Japanese tai sashimi with yuzu shiso blossom. They added a crème fraîche that was made last winter. - Raviolo - Santa Barbara uni and scallop mousse with beluga caviar and chèvre from their garden. The uni tasted so fresh it - King crab tart - it came with a leg and a tart with English pea purée, king crab, pea tendrils, and pea blossom. - Sourdough Bread with Normandy butter and sea salt - it was freshly baked and apparently takes - Scallop with black truffles, green chile poblano, and a "scallop tea"with pine nuts - Golden tilefish (a prized deep sea fish) with chanterelles that were foraged by Victor and Olga in the Sierras and a brown butter and basalmic vinegar sauce - A5 Wagyu with sautéed greens and onion with a potato cake in clarified butter and truffle sauce - Japanese muskmelon with a champagne gelée on top of bergamot granita and mint on top - Apple tartin wrapped in puff pastry and black truffle ice cream with a caramel swirl

Grateful to be able to return to my favorite restaurant in LA that never fails to impress. My exceptional dining along with the premium wine pairing last time were truly magical and memorable. Very recommend this place for a special occasion/celebration. The service was impeccable also!

Our dinner at Providence was truly exceptional. The whole experience from start to finish was absolutely perfect, and it was definitely one of the best, if not the best, dinner I've had this year. The presentation was extraordinarily strong and every course looked as good as it tasted. The service was also definitley top-notch and professional throughout. I would definitley recommend adding the Uni Egg supplement as that was one of our favorite courses. Also if possible, and if there are 2 of you dining, I would recommend one person getting the monkfish and the other person getting wagyu and just sharing so that you can try both. The portions and the total amount of food overall was just perfect...like every aspect of this restaurant. Overall our dinner at Providence was worth every pretty penny, and I can see why Providence is so highly acclaimed...it's undoubtedly one of the best fine dining experiences I've had all year.
