Hemenway’s In Providence Reopen After Winter Renovations

PROVIDENCE, RI — Popular Providence dining spot Hemenway's has reopened after undergoing a refresh this winter, a spokesperson from the Newport Restaurant Group, which owns the eatery, said.

"Hemenway’s is an institution, and as such, it was important to us that we preserved much of its iconic look," Newport Restaurant Group Regional Manager Nicole Christie said. "While minor updates have been made through the restaurant, what’s most impressive is the gorgeous new raw bar area. We hope our new and loyal guests will be wowed by the refresh and our exciting new menu offerings."

A dining destination in Rhode Island for 40 years, Hemenway's reopened on March 5 with a refreshed raw bar, serving new menu items against a backdrop of white quartz and new lobster tanks; enhanced views of the city throughout; and a brand-new, updated bar area with three high-top bar booths.

The raw bar remains at the front of the restaurant, where, in addition to local oysters, littlenecks, and cherrystones, shrimp cocktail, lump crab meat with creole mustard, and Alaskan King Crab, guests may now enjoy a selection of crudos: Tuna with black garlic aioli, soy-ginger vinaigrette, and pickled shallot and Fluke with cured egg yolks, crispy capers, and much more.
