Casually Elegant

A place that is both upscale and friendly. That’s Mill’s Tavern in downtown Providence. For years, this Rhode Island favorite has provided guests with an exceptional dining experience. Whether for a romantic evening, special celebration or business dinner, Mill’s Tavern offers that perfect match: fine dining in a unique urban setting at the foot of historic College Hill.

Chef Edward Bolus delivers an impressive menu that combines local and seasonal ingredients in innovative and exciting new ways. The fruits and vegetables are harvested from area farms. The chops and steaks are cut daily and the seafood is always fresh. Chef Bolus’ knowledge and skills coupled with a passion for improvisation guarantees a dining experience that is noteworthy.

Located in the century-old Pilgrim Mill’s Building in Providence, the Mill’s Tavern dining room has rustic brick walls, polished dark woods, vaulted casement ceilings and linen tablecloths that work together to impart a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance. A wood-burning oven—used in much of the cooking–glows cheerily from an open kitchen, where the bustle of busy chefs and food servers lends an energetic vibe. The sleekly designed and fully stocked bar serves up a wide array of cocktails and beers, and also offers the opportunity for casual dining.

Additionally, Mills Tavern is known for its extensive and award-winning wine selection and has annually been the recipient of Wine Spectator magazine’s “Award of Excellence” since 2014. Mill's Tavern was also voted Yelp's Best Steakhouse in Rhode Island in 2023. This Providence destination restaurant has tables that can be reserved for small private functions or special celebrations. Whether enjoying a glass of wine and fresh oysters at the bar or a multi-course dinner in the elegantly appointed dining room, Mill’s Tavern serves up a delightful experience.
