"A reimagined comfort-food restaurant delivering elevated casual dishes and a fresh take on classic, approachable American fare." - Regan Stephens
"This corner breakfast spot is a chill place to eat a slab of quiche and watch the world go by. The menu is a mishmash of diner-meets-bistro. You can go for all-American fluffy pancakes with, as the menu puts it, “good syrup” or lean European with boiled vinegar potatoes with poached eggs and horseradish-spiked Bavarois sauce. But even if you order the vinegar potatoes, get a side of hashbrowns—these crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside cubes are worth doubling up on spuds. Every Friday, the restaurant transforms into a dinner joint with pasta dishes, gem-tone salads, and an after-dinner vermouth list we’re seeing everywhere." - grace kelly

"One of Providence’s most highly anticipated restaurant openings of 2024, Frank & Laurie’s is the first permanent project from chef Eric Brown and his wife, co-owner Sara Watts. (Brown had previously been operating the acclaimed pop-up Thick Neck inside the Dean Hotel.) Named after Brown’s maternal grandparents, this sunny neighborhood spot serves brunch and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday — the crispy pancakes and custardy quiche are must-orders — plus a weekly dinner service on Friday nights called Frank at Night. There, Brown riffs with whatever he’s got on hand at the time, from roasted rutabaga with smoked clothbound cheddar and apple to whole-roasted flounder paired with a spruce tip sauce." - Jenna Pelletier
"A sunny corner café launched by Eric Brown and Sarah Watts in Providence serving generous slices of custardy quiche and charred pancakes dripping with maple syrup, emblematic of new local projects emerging from established hospitality leaders." - Eater Staff
