Sinner for 9 people. For a nice, expensive dinner, it has to be good, and this was Outstanding. We tried many different appetizers and entrees. It was a long meal that we enjoyed, and we were never rushed or ignored. Service from Jason was top notch. Only improvement I would suggest is the noise level. It was rather loud, although maybe that was our location in the restaurant near a party room.

We were visiting Los Angeles from Washington DC. I heard wonderful things and saw great reviews about Providence. Wonderful experience at Providence. We sat at the chef’s table. The staff was excellent and professional. They answered all questions and requests. Chef Micheal Cimarusti was very gracious and welcoming. His food was delicious and the presentation of the food was beautiful and elegant. Definitely would dine again at Providence. It was an amazing experience and wonderful night.
