The Scene – Charismatic Chef Walter--restaurant owner, cookbook author, television host--greets guests at the door of his intimate single-room restaurant.

Great Chef
by mikedmeritage
Chef Walter Potenza is a spectacular Chef, known all over the world. Maybe second on the RI culinary scene behind George and Joanne from Al Forno. The only problem, this place is CLOSED!!!!!!!!!

Poor service and kitchen management
by diner0060
The wait staff was poorly trained, the chef was out in the dining area not tending to the preparation. The veal was overpowered by the thyme, my wife's shrimp risotto was garnished with cocktail shrimp placed on top as an afterthought. People were friendly but the food and service will thrump a return visit

I was 100% satisfied with my experience. The service was perfect with good knowledge of the food and wine list. There are a lot of great choices for apps and even the fried options had a distinct light quality. The entrees were prompt and delicious with an excellent presentation. Contrary to other reviews, meats were all cooked perfectly to order. Tell your friends.
