Res American Bistro is located in downtown Providence and offers a distinctive and lively dining experience with traditional menu items that will truly blow your taste buds away. The name “Res” is a tribute to the three owners, Ryan, Evan, and Stephen, who have been foodie friends for over a decade! All 3 friends shared the same exciting dream to own their own restaurant and serve food they love while providing an experience they know they would enjoy themselves.
At Res American Bistro, in addition to their delicious menu items, they also feature carefully curated wine, cocktail and beer lists. The atmosphere of Res American Bistro is cozy and casual, while also providing an upscale dining experience in their historically renovated space. And the second-floor dining experience features floor to ceiling windows and gorgeous views of the city!
