From the OpenTable editors: Providence is the restaurant that seafood dreams and celebratory dinners are made of: James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Cimarusti puts sustainability front and center for his two-MICHELIN-Starred tasting menus featuring the likes of Santa Barbara spot prawns, Golden Kaluga caviar, and Columbia River king salmon. Expect excellent wine pairings, white tablecloths, and exceptional service that doesn’t feel stuffy—just the way LA fine dining should be.

  • La Vigilia Celebration

    US$459.90 per person

    Prepaid

    21 Dec 2024 only
    19th Annual La Vigilia-Feast of the Seven Fishes on Saturday, December 21st. Providence has celebrated this Italian-American tradition of serving a multi-course seafood menu since opening in 2005. Subsequently, we have welcomed many of the same families every year to enjoy a night of festive reverie. Our reservations are limited and this event sells out quickly. Please join us for a night of conviviality and good cheer! *** Please note that due to the nature of our La Vigilia menu, we are unable to accommodate any menu changes or substitutions. Corkage will be graciously declined this evening *** **We are unable to offer refunds for any cancellations made after Saturday, December 14th** We thank you for joining us at Providence

    The atmosphere here is calm and cold. The servers are stiff and lack smiles; everyone seems to have a neutral expression. The speed at which the food arrives is good, and the quality of the food is excellent.
