Chef Michael is as talented as we had heard. We indulged in the lavish tasting menu and added on the caviar service, which was incredible. The blini’s were by a landslide the best I’ve ever tasted. Every single dish we tried was delicious. The bread service had the best butter, kind of grassy yet so creamy, amazing. The seafood dishes were true to the hype, prepared perfectly with a beautiful blend of flavours. The service we found to be a bit pretentious which is really unnecessary and detracted from the fun. We shared a bottle of champagne which paired nicely with each dish. Met the Chef on our way out, which delighted me to be able to compliment him. His food was worth the hefty price point. Next time we are in LA, would be an honor to return.

Unarguably the best fine dining in LA. They are currently doing the 8-course menu for $250, with the option of additional items such as oysters, uni custard, and salt crusted spot prawns. I would not skip out on these additions because they were so delicious! Generally, tasting menus usually have a handful of courses you find fault with. This is not the case with Providence- every course was executed without any flaws. We were there for 3 hours, but it never felt long nor did we feel rushed. Pacing was perfect.

The finest dinner experience I've ever had. It offers the absolute best sea food anyone can find on the West Coast. The service is straight out of a movie, and everything is incredibly clean. They even offer you a little gift bag as a souvenir for the evening. The meal will last around three hours and take you on a ride of savors. If you have the time and money, and know you'll be in the area, consider booking this place long in advance.

Fancy for nothing… overly decorated plates with sub mediocre taste and technique…. Bill for 2 came out to nearly $800. Such a disappointment. Grilled spot prawn, oysters on the half shell, oyster with caviar, and hamachi crudo with basil oil were outstanding. All other 6 courses were extremely sub par. Even the free appetizers were cringe worthy.

A long overdue review… we had an amazing night here with our friends. Food was stunning and presentation was fabulous. We were really lucky and got a table by the kitchen. Watching top-notch chefs cook food and prepare dishes was like watching a big show. Very memorizable. I gave four stars only because the table service could better to make our tabletop more organized.

We sat at the bar and it was a great experience. Great atmosphere and service. Everything was fantastic. The only dish that we really didn't enjoy was the truffle risotto. Felt there wasnt much flavor and though they put a very healthy serving of white truffle, I can't say I really tasted anything. The uni egg though was amazing and the duck was also stellar!!! Every other course was equally good! Highly recommend anyone to go here

We celebrated our 10years anniversary at Providence LA and we had such a tasteful culinary journey. Everything was phenomenal. From the main dishes and the different side menu such as Maines oysters, chitarra truffle pasta, prawns, Comte truffle. There were the best things we put into our body in 2024 so far. Again everything was excellent and very well wine paired. One of our most desirable restaurant to revisit.

Best restaurant in LA. Two Michelin stars more than well deserved, if not trending three. The dishes were absolutely beautiful, but I was even more pleasantly surprised by the flavors from the chef’s unique composition of various kinds of seafood, vegetables, mushrooms and grains. Highly recommended.

My wife and I went here for our third anniversary this past weekend. From the beginning, it was a magical experience we had the honor of sitting at the chef's table and watching a bustling kitchen of focused, motivated chefs and sous-chefs prepare food until almost midnight. There are so many members that waited on us and insured that we were smiling during the entire dinner. The 8-course meal was exquisite although at least two or three other items were served. Definitely appreciate the option for a non-seafood item as part of the entree, but everything from the sashimi, oysters, lobster, to the duck, wagyu beef, and the mango dessert were succulent. Probably the best of wine I've had with any dinner as well. We wish we could have spent more at Providence. Please be prepared to spend at least two and a half hours to truly enjoy experience here.

Expensive yet impressive fine dining service that focuses on uniqueness and stunning plating. However, it nowhere felt like a two stars restaurant as the establishment is trying to squeeze every cents from the customers. absolutely terrible wine pairing at $125 and doesn’t get better until you get the premium option. the pre fix menu will not leave you full unless you’re on a calories restriction. Each additional supplement is 25-50 per person and wine pairing is extra. the overall experience took about 4 hours ish so dress comfortable and have a prepare to have a good time. The worst part is the valet charges extra for credit card and in this particular instance the valet even took a photo of my credit card because he claims the machine was not working. Which irks me a little and ended my evening on a down note.

Two Star Michelin fine dining restaurant by Michael Cimarusti. Situated on Melrose Avenue, Providence is reminiscent of fine French restaurants with white linens, plush chairs and offers a prix fixe menu centered around an assortment of fresh and sustainable seafood. Flavors are balanced and each dish is beautifully presented. Signature dishes include the uni egg and langoustine. Service is professional and efficient (although could use with a bit more warmth). Wonderful place to celebrate an anniversary or other special occasion.

We went for a prefix dinner, and it was amazing. It's a mix of appetizers, mains, and desserts. Loved everything on how they paid attention to every single thing from their food to service. It was my birthday, and they printed it on my menu card as well. It was a beautiful experience.

There's a reason why Providence has 2 Michelin Stars... and it is well deserved. I can only say that this place is reserved for special occasions, but the staff and the chefs will go above and beyond your expectations if your palette and your wallet are flexible enough. If you're fortunate enough to obtain a reservation, drop everything you're doing, save up enough money, and make sure you Uber here to take advantage of the cocktails/wine pairings. The signature tasting menu is what they're known for and it changes quite often, so I can't make any recommendations. This is where you have a choice to select a few starters, main course and dessert based on seasonal dishes or what is being served that day. My only suggestion is to keep an open mind and enjoy the entire experience as it comes. Every course of that meal is prepared with care and will have you enjoying every bite. I can only speak from experience, but it was a meal I won't forget!

I literally asked if the cushions provided on the bench side of the seating were for screams (of joy), or for tears (of happiness). From personal experience, they can be used for both. Julia, our server, wove us a majestic tale with every course. The wine pairings introduced me to my two best friends of the evening, Tim and David, the sommeliers with the uh… mostliers? They taught me tasty tidbits about geography, history, and the inner workings of the master sommelier diploma examination. The only thing I love more in this life than eating delicious food is learning. The courses began with a caviar + macadamia nut combination that made me tear up. I finally understood why Robin Leach's sign off of “champagne kisses and caviar dreams” because this is the pinnacle of flavor combinations. Shout out to the server’s assistants Jose and Teon, who were immaculate in their attention to detail, swooping in to fill water and clear crumbs and to hold me as I waxed poetic about the fact that I was enjoying the best meal of my life. The second course was a yellowtail sashimi. This was paired with the most crisp, refreshing and buttery Riesling I’d ever had. Both the fish and the wine melted in my mouth. The tartness of the fruit and vegetable was a perfect complement to the velvet taste of the fish, and the richness of the olive oil. The amazingness had only begun, because next up was a warm fricassee of shellfish. The uni from the amuse bouche was back, this time joined with geoduck, abalone, and pistachios. There was also a sourdough that accompanied this dish, the perfect vehicle with which to soak up all of the broth. The wine paired here was from Italy, a blend I’d never experienced before, along with a history lesson that blew my mind. Next was a scallop crowned in black truffles. It was bathed in leek fondue. The scallop was firm and juicy, the truffle bursting with earthy flavor. The wine that went with this course was a “blanche” hermitage. The bold flavors and meatiness of a red were present in this white somehow, maybe through alchemy. After the pre-dinner “hey, look at this sexy box of fungus” presentation, we had no choice but to get some sweet sweet black truffle added to our meal. My husband chose the home-made pasta, which comes served at a perfect al-dente, covered with butter and an aged parmesan. Good enough to eat on its own. But then, the truffle. At this point I was already wondering how it was that the Earth I lived on was party to such an ethereal combination of flavors and textures. We weren’t even done. We had John Dory next. How is the inside of a fish iridescent? Literally made of magical rainbows. The pieces were fused together with a shrimp mousseline. It was creamy and hearty and delicious. If seafood were a cheeseburger, wrapped in hugs and warm blankets. And the wine, an amazing wine, the Batič. This winery has been around for over 400 years, and this white blend is a roll of the dice every year, they take all the grapes and throw them into the process and see what comes out and hopefully it’s good. It was more than good. It was amazing. My final (non-dessert) course was duck. It came two ways, a slice of perfect breast, and a leg rolled into napa cabbage. The whole thing was paired beautifully with a Syrah from Santa Barbara that I wanted to take home and lock in the cellar in a non-Silence of the Lambs way. The dessert courses started with compressed apple, a grenade with flavors of lemon and verbena, and buddha’s hand, refreshing and beautiful. For the next dessert course, I had a passionfruit souffle, because I don’t eat chocolate. It was a potent mix of freshness and sweetness. It was paired with a silky-smooth, honeyesque wine that complimented it perfectly. My only regret was that as I left the restroom, my husband was waiting for me at the host stand, and I did not get an opportunity to thank and embrace all the friends I made along the way. I hope that this review finds its way to them, so they know how much I appreciate them.

This is my first time to dine in this Michelin 2 star restaurant. Chef Michael Cimarusti’s 8 course tasting menu is nothing but spectacular. My favorites were the langotti pasta with crab and uni, the lobster with matsutake mushrooms and the salmon with pepper truffle sauce with a side of sun chokes and white truffle shavings. The apple sorbet with apple chip was refreshingly delightful. Margo and the other staff members made this 3 hour dining experience remarkable.

By far the most lavish dining experience I've ever had! The service was amazing (they answered all our questions with enthusiasm) + food and presentation was outstanding. We saved up for this experience and would highly recommend this place, if the occasion ever arises.

This was one of my favorite dining experiences yet. Every course was such a hit. The macadamia/caviar course and the uni egg were both some of my favorite dishes that I have ever eaten, I was just in heaven with every bite. I had never heard of John Dory till I dined here, it was so fun to try a new fish and I was in love with the way that they prepared it! It had such unique and delicious flavors. The chocolate dessert was so delectable and the apple one was extremely refreshing. I really wish that they gave you menus at the end but I loved that they gave us a providence bag as well as some house made granola on our way out!

I went here for a friend's birthday and it was an incredible experience. From the moment you walk in, they take your coat and seat you before actually seating you at the table. I have never been served by so many waiters/ waitresses in my life. Every item of food was well crafted and balanced. Despite having multiple fish dishes, the were all unique from one another. Honestly, this is the only place so far who has prepared rockfish or swordfish to my liking. The scallop chip needs to be made into a regular snack because I would need it every week. If you need to go the restroom they will escort you there. Plates and utensils were changed out for each dish to enhance the experience. While this restaurant is pricey it is worth going at least once for the experience.

Delicious! Had the best dinner here- everything was good. The rockfish, scallop, halibut we’re amazing along with the wagyu. Great presentation and flavors. A must! Glad we came here.

A good experience of what a Michelin 2 star is like. Well worth the money.

I already knew that this place will be amazing! Michelin stars, fine dining, all the previous reviews already told me it will be amazing. The cost was definitely worth it. I'm usually not a drinking person but I decided to try the wine pairing for the course. All the wines that they paired were perfect and I never thought I will love wines... ❤ I would definitely recommend for any special occasions and totally worth to splurge!

The highlight of our trip to LA was Providence Exceptional service Attention to detail Delicious food You need to Go once in your life 🌟

"Great customer service! We get our order quickly and all dishes were extremely tasty. Love this Lazy Dig so much ❤. The staff is so welcoming and friendly they made a great atmosphere. Would visit again very soon.I would love to come again. What a gorgeous place with amazing price for food that is so wonderfully put together! From the custom menu to the dessert, WOW! Wow, for taking us a in a few minutes earlier than reserved."

nice seafood restaurant with some spanish influence. The amuse is quite great, But the main entree is less on part with the rest of the meal.

Providence being a 2 Michelin star restaurant serving seafood in the West Hollywood area, was calling my name for a table. They got me a reservation within the same day and made sure I felt special and had an amazing end to my birthday. I’m a very picky eater, and even the dishes they served that I did not like, somehow they got me to enjoy! I will be coming back as many times as I can in the future, and thank you to the whole team for making my night wonderful! Highly recommend trying once in your life.

Amazing foods prepared in painstaking details and always finished like symphony!

I was searching for the very best restaurants in the Los Angeles County to celebrate my 20th birthday (before the virus) and enjoy a dinner celebration alone. Providence being a 2 Michelin star restaurant serving seafood in the West Hollywood area, was calling my name for a table.

I’m a very picky eater, and even the dishes they served that I did not like, somehow they got me to enjoy!

Stunning! Absolutely amazing service! Sat at the bar, food was beyond words! I would strongly recommend the Uni Egg, the menu is very filling, but I had to try 2 mains and had 2 extra Uni eggs, almost exploded, but made it. Would definitely come again to experience the well made food, with complex flavors and a heartwarming service.

Always one of my favs. I’ve been to Providence four times till now and it has never disappointed me. I can see chefs efforts from the food quality, to the presentation. Service is also one of the best - staff is helpful and friendly.

Service and food were what you’d expect from a Michelin starred restaurant: Top Tier. The amount of thought and care that went into hosting guests, be it through the speed of service, level of detailing in the dessert, etc, was truly a delight. My wife chose the swordfish for her main entree and I got the wagyu. We also opted to try the uni egg, and were glad we did, because it was fantastic. The only thing we weren’t the biggest fans of were the non-alcoholic drinks. I got the spice melange - I wonder if that was a reference to dune - and my wife got the drink with persimmon. We felt the drinks beared a resemblance to various allergy medications.

I cant believe i havent been to this place before. This is something of a worldwide quality. Everythin, I mean everything we tried was fantastic. Thats an achievement. I have tried many michellin 3 stars and was many times dissappointed on the fakeness of things. This place also has a fantastic bar with best choices of spirits and wine. They keep bees on the roof to make honey for their cocktail. Omg. Basically a 5 star for everything. Good job!!

You absolutely have to dine here! Everything from the food, to the service, to the wine/cocktails and ambiance was absolutely incredible. My significant other doesn’t eat raw fish and I forgot to mention it when booking, but the staff asked at the start of the meal and they were happy to accommodate the preference despite it being last minute. The somm absolutely nailed the pairing the night I was there. My group loved every single pour so much that we asked for a detailed list of the tasting. Overall, everything was fantastic and I quite enjoyed the perfect balance between friendly and professional when it came to the service. Thank you for an incredible night!

W-O-W This definitely deserves the Michelin star rating. Oyster with caviar.. heavenly. Steak tartare amazing, shrimp on some cracker..omg. Snapper in ponzu sauce..yes! Very small portions but excellent quality. Lobster with zucchini flower , black cod, duck—-out of this world!

I've been to a few restaurants of this caliber, and I can definitely say it's one of the best restaurants I've been to. The food is amazing, with complex flavors, amazing textures, and luxurious ingredients. The wines chosen were very well thought out and went perfectly with every dish. The service was amazing, attentive, but not smothering. I had an issue beforehand with my card that I thought would force me to cancel my meal, but they very gladly figured out a solution so I could make the meal. The atmosphere is very California fine dining, so if you are used to the more formal style of a lot of East Coast places have the more relaxed vibes might be a bit of a shock. However, it works very well for L.A. so complaints here. As a heads up for those not used to fine dining, it is a long dinner service, I was there about three hours as a solo diner. So if you are smart don't make plans after thinking it's going to be quick. Overall amazing experience, with amazingly good food. I'm definitely coming back at some point.

Your restaurant's food was delicious! The price was also pocket-friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in our office! Thank you for a fantastic experience!

I honestly can’t put into words how incredible our experience was here. From beginning to end the service was exemplary, the food was out of this world & the desserts were a true work of art. They are big on sustainability and reusing parts of food that are normally thrown out & I love that about this place. I absolutely loved how they personalized our menu at the top to say happy anniversary!! If you want 2 star Michelin experience, this is where you need to go. You will not leave hungry I promise!

Fantastic food. A little bit suggestion : Wagyu beef’s sauce a little bit salty. Hand made dessert really impressive.

Such a wonderful location. 15 delectable courses. genuine Korean cuisine. adorable owner/chef. a unique setting that makes you feel like you are in your own neighbourhood. not inexpensive. One significant drawback, though: the totally patronising personnel. Why??? We adore SF and cherish one another

I always love to eat this type of food. The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. This was one of my favorite experiences. Thank you so much for always making us so special. A high rating and a strong recommendation for you! Thank you!

Providence restaurant stands out for its remarkable consistency in delivering an impressive array of flavors and dishes. The menu offers a delightful variety that caters to diverse palates, ensuring there is something for everyone. The attention to detail in the plating and presentation of each dish is truly exceptional, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. The food itself is not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty, showcasing the skill and expertise of the chefs. Moreover, the restaurant's interior design is distinctively captivating, adding an extra layer of charm and sophistication to the dining experience at Providence.

The food here is absolutely incredible, the menu is pre set and each item is better than the last. The service is 10/10, many of the additions to the plates are grown upstairs on their rooftop garden. Order one of the specialty cocktails and they’ll bring out the cart to make it in front of you. It’s an expensive option but it’s the best food I’ve had in LA

We we celebrated our anniversary here at Providence and one of the private rooms surrounded by beautiful thick, red tapestry like curtains. The five of us were treated 3or 4 appetizers followed by a choice of duck, fish or wagyu beef( $40!supplement). Each course was brought by three or four servers, removing and exchanging each plate with the new dish. The meal was so well choreographed and its presentation that we spent over 2 1/2 hours celebrating our anniversary in a once in a lifetime meal that we will never forget. The desert consisted of strawberry almond citrus, followed by homemade Hawaiian dark chocolate. At the end of the meal all of us were so happy we felt like we had gone to heaven and did not want to come back to earth after our excellent meal at Providence, I’m also trying to include a copy of our menu, which shows more detailed of the selection of food. We were served that night And the price with and without wine pairing. Thank you very much to all the chefs and servers who made our meal once in a lifetime never to forget family event.

Carlos was just fantastic in every way! The food here was to die for! We legitimately loved every single thing on the menu that we ordered!! Thank you Carlos & Providence for such a wonderful evening! Glad we visited while down from Seattle! ♡♡

Food is amazing! Very creative! Great service ! Staff take us to tour kitchen. Many staff. Very clean kitchen . Everyone working hard and professional! Even expensive meal. It’s worth it
