Libations is an upscale establshment aimed at the wine tasting and cheese crowd, as well as part of a unique hospitality training program through Radisson and Johnson & Wales University. Make no mistake there is a broad appeal and plenty of good details to note.
Decor is a toned down contempo modern in pleasing woods and bamboo tables. Hip but relaxed elegance comes to mind. Service and guest care are balanced, and plating is both simple, yet creative. The white serving dishes have a slight Asian nod, yet do not take away from the emphsis on the food.
Mr. Kenneth Clark and company have much to smile about in the food department. From a surprising mix of barbeque to seafood, to even burgers, there's a little something for everyone...and at a reasonable price. Our family had the Rhode Island Lobster Chowder (pictured). The flavor was smooth and not overpowering. The same can be said for the Trio of Sliders that had a lobster cake, black angus meat, and pulled pork. No, we never made it to the dessert menu. Yes, that good.
Did I mention Libations provides not only room service, but catered specialty desserts? Cakes, pies, and pastries are all for the ordering.
Bottom line, if your travels bring you to Providence, it's worth your time to visit Libations at the Radisson Hotel Providence Airport.

Awesome review dude. I have to say that every now and then you nail things right on the mark and it's scary. Not my kind of place, but made me hungry just reading about it.
Thank you my friend. While I'm still quite green to restaurant reviewing, the notion serves several masters and has many benefits. Besides, there are plenty of sites that point out the bad things. I really wanted to point out the GOOD things and talk about some fun places to eat.
Libations was an unexpected delight and a valuable teacher. It was also truly a bright spot during and odd trip.
