I went to Providence Cafe today for lunch because I think I have heard a friend mention it before so as I almost drove past it, I whipped into the parking lot on a whim. My first impression was that it was a little fancy for my cut off jean shorts, but I sat out on the patio anyway and looked over the menu. The prices seemed about average at about $12 per dish. I immediately spotted a salad that I knew I would love and waited for a server to come by to take my order.. I waited quite a bit until someone finally showed up and took my drink and food order at the same time. I normally don't complain about service because I am very laid back when it comes to those things but it was SLOW today. My server took my order, brought the salad, and then only came back after I was finished with my meal. No checkback to see if I needed anything else. This preturbed me.
The salad was delicious but it was ready in only about 3 minutes... Weird, right? Not that I'm complaining, but I know that that means they had random grilled chicken already somewhat pre-cooked. But, it was very good, nonetheless.
Overall, I would return but would opt to go during a busier time when maybe I could have more attentive service. (I went today around 2pm in the middle of shift changes and such.) I was really hoping for a better experience from Providence cafe but I would still go back if asked to.
