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! 🥂

What people say
Providence, located on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, is a seafood restaurant that has been delighting customers for 16 years. With two Michelin Stars under its belt, Providence is known for its commitment to using sustainably caught seafood. In fact, on World Oceans Day, the restaurant celebrated the beauty and biodiversity of our oceans and reiterated their dedication to using only the most sustainable seafood for their tasting menu experience.
Recently, Providence underwent a "fine to tail" redesign that has left customers in awe. The expertly applied Venetian plaster delicately molds, soft curves, and inviting archways create an immersive sensory symphony that evokes the graceful meeting of immense sea and endless sky. The carefully picked color palette infuses warmth and tranquility into the space. The design teams at Bells & Whistles, Sasha Seyb & countless other artisans brought this whirlwind 5-week renovation to life so beautifully.
Providence's dedication to saving the seas is not just talk - they have been utilizing sustainably caught seafood across their menu for nearly two decades. On World Reef Day, they proudly upheld their dedication to this cause. Customers can indulge in a taste of their A5 Wagyu which promises an unforgettable experience with every bite.
Overall, Providence is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers who appreciate sustainability and exquisite dining experiences.
