Today, we’re raising a glass to the captain of our ship, Chef Michael Cimarusti (Michael Cimarusti)!

From childhood fishing trips with his grandfather to more than two decades at the helm of Providence, Michael’s lifelong reverence for the ocean and all it provides has shaped the very foundation of our restaurant. But ask anyone who knows him, and they’ll tell you his greatest impact extends far beyond the kitchen.

It’s in the care he shows his crew, his unwavering respect for the ingredients we source and the people who bring them to our table, and the lifelong relationships he’s cultivated with our fishermen, farmers, purveyors, and loyal guests. His boundless curiosity, generosity of spirit, and uncompromising dedication to his craft continue to inspire all of us, every single day.

Here’s to more time on the water, good company, a glass (or two) of Kentucky bourbon, and plenty of Grateful Dead playing in the fish box. May the year ahead bring you more of everything you love.

From the entire Providence crew, happy birthday, Chef! We’re lucky to have you at the helm.

Today marks 🔟 years since Executive Pastry Chef Mac Daniel Dimla (Mac Daniel Dimla) joined our team at Providence. Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into an exceptional pastry chef, leader, and mentor whose contributions have helped shape our restaurant in countless ways.

Mac joined us at just 20 years old, bringing with him a natural curiosity, a deep respect for ingredients, and an eagerness to learn and experiment. Drawing inspiration from his Filipino heritage and his own creative instincts, he has played an instrumental role in the evolution of our pastry program, from establishing our in-house bean-to-bar chocolate program to creating desserts that reflect both his imagination and meticulous attention to detail.

Just as meaningful is the impact Mac has had on those around him. As a mentor and leader, he generously shares his knowledge, encourages creativity, and leads by example, helping nurture the next generation of pastry chefs in our kitchen.

Thank you, Chef Mac, for ten remarkable years of hard work, creativity, and dedication. We’re incredibly proud of all you’ve accomplished and grateful to have you as part of the Providence family! 🥂

The ocean has given us a great deal, and with that comes a responsibility to care for it.

As National Seafood Month comes to a close, we're grateful to the incredible fishermen, divers, and purveyors whose work makes our own possible, and to those who share our commitment to responsible sourcing and protecting our oceans for generations to come.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Chef-Owner Michael Cimarusti’s recent induction into the Culinary Institute of America’s Hall of Fame!

The CIA holds a special place in Chef Michael’s heart. It’s where he began to develop the skills, discipline, and respect for the craft that have guided him throughout his career. More importantly, it’s where he met his wife, a skilled pastry chef, and Providence Co-Owner, Crisi Echiverri, whose love, partnership, and unwavering support have been essential to both his journey and the restaurant Providence has become today.

This honor is a meaningful recognition of Chef Michael’s decades of dedication to his craft, his respect for the ingredients and people behind every dish, and his commitment to the culinary community.

Please join us in congratulating Michael on this well-deserved honor!

For more than a decade, W**e Director David Osenbach (David Osenbach) has shaped our w**e program with curiosity, care, and a genuine love for the craft, and today, we’re very proud to celebrate his 11th anniversary at Providence! 🥂

We’re raising a glass to 1️⃣ 2️⃣ years with the creative force and cocktail visionary behind the bar, our longstanding Bar Director Kim Stodel (Kim Stodel). 🍾

For over a decade, Kim has brought curiosity, creativity, and a spirit of experimentation to our bar program. Each pairing begins with the plate, drawing on the flavors, ingredients, and nuances of the dish to create a natural dialogue between the kitchen and the bar.

His approach is equally grounded in Providence’s commitment to sustainability, finding new purpose for ingredients throughout the restaurant. Bee pollen collected the evening before, lavender transformed into garnishes, and other elements from the kitchen become part of cocktails that are as considered as the dishes they accompany.

From seasonal zero-waste cocktails to zero-proof N/A pairings, Kim’s work reflects a deep understanding of flavor, balance, and the experience that rounds out the dining experience as a whole.

We’re grateful for the curiosity, warmth, and dedication Kim has brought to Providence over the past 12 years, and for the many memorable pours along the way. Cheers to you today and always, Kim! 🥂
