Restaurants near Museum of Rhode Island History

My husband and I chose Circe for his Birthday and had a lovely experience.

I took my friend there for her birthday. I hadn't been there in a few years and I have always loved the Parkside. While the food was delicious, our server Derek was just okay. He made us feel rushed by asking us three times if we knew what we wanted to drink (once the minute we sat down). I told him that we were not in a rush and seeing there were only a few tables that had people at it, we knew we weren't taking up a table for people who were waiting as there were no people waiting. Derek never told us the specials (the only way I knew there were specials being offered is because he recited them to a table that was a few feet away). I had the filet salad and it was done perfectly. The steak was delicious and tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. My friend had the pork chop and said it was amazing. When she ordered the pork chop Derek never asked what she wanted for sides even though the menu said it came with two sides. When I brought this to his attention he said it came with brussel sprouts. My friend had to ask for something different as she did not want them. I would have given the restaurant a higher rating if we had better service. But if you are going for the food and don't care about the service, then I highly recommend it.

The waiter was excellent, very knowledgeable of the menu, and very pleasant. I can't say enough about the food, hot, good taste.

We had our Thanksgiving meal here - and they had options for those who wanted something other than a turkey dinner. Everything was delicious and their staff (wait staff and valets) were very nice even though they were very busy.

Dinner at Capital Grille is always excellent, but that doesn't always translate into an excellent Thanksgiving Dinner. Capital Grille served an amazing turkey dinner, but if you wanted to order from the regular menu you could. In addition, we had an array of apps and salads from the regular menu. We have been going to Capital Grille on Thanksgiving for years, and I have never been disappointed. See you again next year!
