New Rivers is known for its simple yet robust preparations and colorful, bistro-style presentations. The menu celebrates the cuisine of the various ethnic and cultural groups that have given America and Providence their rich culinary heritage. Careful consideration is given to healthy foods, and the menu is limited yet thoughtfully balanced to offer ample variety and flexibility to customers with special needs. In 1997 Pat & Bruce were finalists for the James Beard Awards - 'Best Chefs—Northeast.' Cozy, intimate and elegant all at the same time, the 40-seat restaurant is housed in 1870 twin storefronts that form the façade on the original 1793 warehouse built for iron merchants, Congdon & Carpenter. So named in direct homage to the uncovering and rerouting of two rivers running through the heart of Providence over a decade ago—and the multicultural nature of Bruce Tillinghast's menu—New Rivers offers diners a unique culinary adventure. The moment you walk into New Rivers, the dining experience begins. From restful hunter-green walls with persimmon-red and yellow-ocher accents, artfully arranged linen napkins, fresh flowers and candles on every table, and a gracious and knowledgeable wait staff, every detail is carefully rendered to showcase New Rivers’ robust food, unusual wines and colorful bistro-style presentation.

Small bistro type place. We went here the other night for the first time. The miso mahi mahi was excellent! I want to come back and try the salmon.
