    Absolutely fabulous food. I'm not usually a seafood lover but I was when I was in Hemeway's. Out of this world dishes. Plus, ambiance is fantastic. Right near the Providence theaters. Be sure to ask for a seat by the river. Best view to see Gondolas going by.

    Our dining experience was absolutely phenomenal. My girlfriend and I both have loads of allergies and it’s usually hard to find places to eat so accommodating. But dining here was the most relaxed we’ve ever been about a menu. The drinks were incredible, almost everything was naturally gluten free and the buffet style was amazing food that was constantly being refreshed. We spent just as much as we would any place in Mystic but it was the first time we’ve ever been wowed and thought “yeah that was worth the money”. Safe to say we were blown away.

    Brittany was an exceptional server and incredibly attentive! She suggested the perfect amount of food for my picky eater mother and timid dining dad. We were wowed by the death by chocolate dessert and chef’s preparation of the lamb lollipops and steak was pure perfection. Brittany also ensured we were fully paid in time for us to walk to the show at PPAC. 10/10 - great food and service!
