We've eaten the lobster bisque at Providence twice and the consistency holds — the shell stock has been reduced until it's almost a consommé, then enriched — the depth of flavour takes effort that shortcuts can't replicate. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Book ahead — the room fills quickly for good reason.
