| Located in the space formerly occupied by L'Epicureo, Aspire wins points for improved accessibility over its more formal predecessor. Three distinct dining spaces may appeal to those who want a choice among an elegant night out, al fresco courtyard dining, or chic small plates at the hotel's stylish bar. Rhode Island influences are evident in a menu that leans heavily on seafood, and young professionals watching their budget will appreciate the generous $5 happy hour sushi special. Menu highlights include the steak frites and grilled little necks tossed with cavatelli, chanterelles and basil butter. Pan-seared sea scallops make the foundation of a well-constructed dish, with six plump bivalves paired with porcini ravioli, but the veal bolognese rises little above the level of meat sauce. |
