OK. I have been coming here for almost 25 years. It seems as though its consistently getting worse. The food is getting cheaper and the prices are getting more expensive. I dont mind paying more but the value is not worth the money at this point. The seafood dish which useto have Diver saw scallops and a nice presentation has resorted to Bay scallops with chopped up small bits of shrimp that does cheapen the dish but still charging $33. Thats crazy. The place was not fall on a Friday evening at 7:30 and I know why

This place is very much a "has-been". I wonder whether the owner actually tastes the food out of the kitchen because our meal there last Friday was more like cafeteria slop. It was totally without salt. The Escargot was totally tasteless. The duck dish tasted like it had been microwaved swimming in a very sweet sauce, and the chicken liver dish was nasty. The side dish was something like a broccoli au gratin that was totally mushy, like baby food. Again everything had no salt added at all; totally tasteless!

Its great to have a place get classic old school french cooking and I hope they are here for 40 more years. The space is amazing and the history is undeniable. But its time for a refresh. Its....almost.....there, but not quite. The extensive menu is prepared in a one chef kitchen. If they did half as many dishes Im positive they could give them the attention they deserve. They are living in their history and they are not keeping up with the explosion of high quality food that is all around them.

In fact we didnt have eaten there. Why ? Because we had reservation for 8 pm but our table wasnt free. They said to us to wait in the bar. At 9 our table wasnt free anymore and the waitress said that there is another couple before us. So we left. Even in the worst restaurant, I never wait more than 15 minutes when I had a reservation, and the drink was offered. What a shame for France to be represent like that !

Had a very romantic dinner here with my other half. Walking down into the restaurant, we were charmed by the rustic atmosphere. After being seated, we were served warm bread to snack on while we watched the chef prepare our meals in the kitchen. When the food arrived, it was delicious. Of note was the roasted duck which was cooked perfectly. I hope to return!

This is a wonderful restaurant. Its cozy, has a very friendly staff, and the food is great. Bob Burke, the owner, is a very interesting guy and will tell you all about the history of Providence and the state. I cannot recommend Pot au Feu highly enough. Its like a French island in a sea of incredible Italian restaurants in the city!

What a delicious and wonderful experience. Pot au Feu is a gem. Came in for the first time last night not knowing what to expect and walked out feeling very satisfied. The service/atmosphere was eclectic but great. Food was delicious. My mouth is watering at the thought of going back!

The service was terrible and the food was not that good if you have a resivation expect to wait at least an hour before you are seated and dont expect to eat until another hour or so with only one cook. Very bad experience

Whether performing in a special event for the owners or dining with friends, the Pot Au Feu is first class, cozy and great food. Having recently visited Paris, I can testify that the Pot Au Feu is the real deal.

Weve eaten at the downstairs Bistro several times. Not the cheapest place, but not the most expensive either, and very cozy. Food is superb, and a great wine selection too.

Excellent food and fantastic service. Perfect place to ring in the new year. They made our anniversary special.

Like this place, downtown, slightly off the center track. Not expensive: well worth a meal. Go there--its fun!
