Reviews of Oberlin Providence RI
Jasper Louie
Excellent food and service. We sat at the bar and the staff was very attentive and had a lot of informative information about their food.
The raw scallops we had tasted incredible, and we were also a fan of the two salads we got (the kohlrabi Caesar and snap pea), the raw black bass, and the Brandade, which had nicely toasted bread and a spread with fresh herbs and potato/salted cod.
The rhubarb tart we had also was delicious and was made with homemade butter, and I'm not always into dessert, but I'd recommend it to anyone.
The vibe at the restaurant was nice, and I have to complement the manager, Bethany, on her service, and taste in music, as I enjoyed the songs she played all throughout the hour and a half we were there.

What an absolute gem!
The menu is everything that you would want if you're going out for a delicious, understated elegant evening. Perfect little date spot

This is such a fantastic restaurant. We had a ton of small plates for dinner and each was unique and fabulous (especially the lamb tartare). The staff is incredibly friendly too.

Best restaurant in Providence hands down.
Really creative delicious dishes.
If you're still reading this you should just stop and make a damned reservation!

We wanted to go to Oberlin because we miss the now closed sister restaurant, Birch. We love the creative menu and friendly staff.
Service:
Adam is all you need on a bad day, specially the day the news reported the Russian attack on Ukraine. I bet Adam could resolve that conflict. He is that friendly.
Adam can also read minds: He offered us bread to soak in the sauce off our plates and brought us the check before we could let him know. He is so attentive that when I told him I loved the Chardonnay from Valencia, he brought me the bottle so I could take a picture.
Adam is the best.
The Restaurant:
I found the chairs (long bench against the wall) uncomfortable. I did not enjoy the music. I was not happy with the bathroom with the broken lock, but I do appreciate the sign that says to knock because the lock is broken.
The Food:
If you want unique flavors and experience, Oberlin is for you. I’m very traditional with my food choices, so there were items I didn’t like, but my husband ate everything.
The portions are small, so you don’t leave stuffed. I like that.
Menu: Thank God for Adam, our waiter, because the menu was so weird, we had to ask Adam to interpret it for us. Recommendation: Put a main title in layman’s terms and then use what you currently have as the description. Adam did a good job explaining the menu to us.
The warm apple & ginger tart was delicious. The raviolis with clam sauce were my favorite item.
