Known on the East Side for being able to open up its expansive windows on the front of the restaurant, Red Stripe offers the opportunity to enjoy indoor dining with plenty of fresh air whenever weather permits. Their private dining room will also be available to host celebrations of up to 15 people, per state requirements, while complying with social distancing and other safety guidelines.
While awaiting the go-ahead to reopen for lunch and dinner service, Red Stripe and its sister restaurant, Mill’s Tavern in Providence, pivoted from serving their guests to serving the community through a partnership created with the Ocean State Job Lot Charitable Foundation, Meals with a Mission. The program was designed to provide prepared meals to front-line workers, first responders and those in vulnerable communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since its inception in early May, thousands of meals have been delivered to local hospitals and community organizations.
“We continue to be in awe of the work that members of our community are doing during this crisis, and we are proud of our staff members for returning to the restaurants to help fuel our front-line workers and provide nourishment to those who need a helping hand,” said Conforti.
