Barnaby's Public House - Providence

Very good and interesting brunch. As we were going to theater, did not partake of the bottomless mimosas, but everything was very flavorful.

Made reservations based on menu on line but when we got there we were told they had a new chef and they changed the menu. The menu was really small, only one vegetarian option. I had a mango kale salad which was literally just kale and 6 small slivers of mango with some seeds sprinkled on top. The waitress brought the wrong food 2x’s. Then our food took a really long time. My son liked his burger and said the fries were good. The atmosphere was cool but I wouldn’t eat there again.

My hubby and I used to frequent Barnaby’s prior to pandemic. It had a New Orleans vibe! We could get a Sazarac and pork chops or chicken. Would typically go to dinner prior to PPAC shows. Fast Forward to after the pandemic-Vibe has shifted considerably. Very very limited menu. Basically burgers or salad. I ordered chicken last night and it a very small portion, the sides were not good either. Hubby enjoyed his burger as my friends did. Funny note about burgers- never asked anyone how they want them cooked. One friends burger came out rare. It took so long for food to come out she didn’t ask for another. I am so sad to say Barnaby’s will not be on our list of restaurants to go to before shows.

We've been twice, the food and service are excellent. But the music is so loud we had to scream so the server could hear us. I think the young crowd enjoys it, just not comfortable for us.

The food was delicious. Small menu on nights of shows but nice and fresh.
