Persimmon provides an exceptional dining experience with impeccable service and fantastic food. The restaurant offers small, creative plates in a tapas-style setup, allowing guests to try multiple dishes. Standouts include the foie gras appetizer, which is highlighted by its fantastic presentation, and a variety of other well-executed dishes such as the deviled eggs and spaghetti bolognese. With top-notch service and high-quality ingredients, Persimmon is a must-try in Providence. Guests have noted that the oysters taste incredibly fresh, while the desserts, like the honey orange tarte and the pistachio and strawberry layer cake with basil ice cream, are delightful. The ambiance is nice and the area is pleasant for a post-dinner stroll. It's especially great for vegetarians, though the menu changes regularly. Overall, Persimmon is an excellent choice for a memorable meal with both creative food and warm hospitality.
