I have always enjoyed the Salted Slate. Excellent and most of all Unique menu items. Delicious and creative meals and cocktails. The Peruvian Bridesmaid for instance today…blueberry in a lovely white rum concoction. Yum!

Salted slate has some lovely brunch basics and nice cocktails but my major issue comes with the extra charges they add. Today we ordered the smoked salmon and bagel with capers and cream cheese and tomatoes. It came with a tiny ramekin of cream cheese, 5 capers and 1 tomato slice . When we asked for more capers and tomato and cream cheese we were given 5 new capers, another cut of tomato and tiny ramekin of cream cheese. The main issue came when we got the bill for this and the extra tiny ask was a $7 charge. When we asked for clarity we were told inflation. No blame on our lovely waiter but 3 drinks and 2 brunch items shouldn’t cost $87. Wish that we were treated better and not penny pinched.

My wife and I had the opportunity to have dinner at Salted Slate recently. We have dined there in the past, and have absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, our recent experience was not on par with our memories. While we understand that the labor market is tight, I still believe it’s a reasonable expectation to have wait staff who are knowledgeable of the menu and the wine list. For us, we ordered not one but two bottles of wine, only to be told that they both were no longer available. We were offered an alternate by the bartender, but were somewhat underwhelmed with the quality of the wine relative to the price point. In simple terms, we paid $80 for a mediocre bottle of wine, because they didn’t have two of the choices we selected. I understand the supply shortages, but your menu is printed on paper… I think it’s worth the investment to update it to make it current. From a server perspective, my wife has a dairy allergy and we were directed towards a menu choice. While halfway through our underwhelming bottle of wine, she came over and told us that the kitchen couldn’t serve it because it wasn’t dairy-free. A little disappointing considering that we were told 10 minutes after placing our dinner order. One other frustration… I had dropped my fork during our appetizer. I asked the server for a new fork, but it never came and I had to “steal” silverware from a vacant table. I’m not sure if we will be revisiting….

This is one of my favorite all-time places to eat in Providence Rhode Island and the East Side. The owner Ben takes great care to have an eclectic outstanding menu and consistent offerings. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The Salted Slate has one of the best bacon burgers I’ve ever had. The garden burger is fantastic as well and the meatballs are to die for. A great atmosphere and a great staff. Try them for brunch too! You will find I reasonably priced offerings and tasty fare. This is a must visit to this restaurant! Five stars all the way!

Nice, cozy bistro in Wayland Square. I’ve been here multiple times with friends! I’ve only tasted their dinner menu once though, the other times were for snacks and drinks. The cacio e pepe starter was probably my favourite dish of the night, well seasoned and creamy!! The main dishes are quite generous in portions, but I didn’t particularly enjoy my lamb as much as I thought I would. They have a beautifully wide selection of wonderful wines. I love their charcuterie board, it is perfect for sharing. I am obsessed with halloumi so I also got that starter to share when I was visiting with my cohort. Service is great and the ambiance is perfect for a wine night. One of my favourite places to grab a drink in Providence!

Nice atmosphere, although did get just a tad bit loud. Very good service. Food was very good, and cocktails were delicious (best espresso martini I ever had). We were a table of 4 and ordered: Gnocchi app., calamari app., Pork entree, Pasta entree, and 2 salmon entrees. All were very satisfied with their meals.

We came in for dinner and enjoyed every bit of it. The food, drinks, and service were all some of the best we’ve had in a while! The lamb was definitely a favorite dish.

Service was impeccable. I have a dairy allergy and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the composition of each dish which was refreshing.

Really cute place for outdoor dining right now. They have an awning so you’re not in the direct sun, which made out lunch really enjoyable. Had the charcuterie plate which had excellent mustard and we liked the copa. Also this panino was super good with a fig spread on it. Also excellent fries!
