About the Waterman Grille
Offering a setting that is unlike any other in Providence, Waterman Grille is situated along the Seekonk River in a former bridge gatehouse that dates back to 1871.
With its ageless brick, restored wood patinas and open kitchen, Waterman has become a neighborhood staple for its relaxed atmosphere and menu that encourages sharing. Our seasonal approach to cooking is driven by our creative culinary team who embolden flavors with our signature wood-fired grill. In addition, our extensive and unique private dining offerings are an idyllic spot to host your next memorable event.
