    It had been awhile since my husband and I had dinner at Pot au Feu. We decided to have dinner at the restaurant last night, and it was excellent—front cocktails to dessert. Best of all, it was quiet even though other guests were dining. We could hear ourselves without having to raise our voices. My husband ordered a French martini, and it was one of the best ones he has had. Compliments to the young bartender. We highly recommend Pot au Feu in Providence. It’s a must.
