Hemenway's has spent more than 40 years on the Providence riverfront serving fresh, top-of-catch seafood sourced from New England's fishing ports. The Raw Bar sits at the center of the room, best known for its signature Shellfish Platter, with dining room windows looking out over the river and city skyline.
Executive Chef Austin Hamilton runs the kitchen, having come up through restaurants in San Francisco before working in Boston, including Row 34. He brings more than 15 years in kitchens focused on local ingredients and sustainable seafood purveyors.
Regulars point to attentive service and the restaurant's elegant, river-facing dining room as reasons it's become a go-to spot for marking occasions. Rhode Island Monthly named Hemenway's a city magazine favorite in 2024.
