Red Fin Crudo + Kitchen, Providence, RI

Wow, this was an unexpectedly great find around the corner from our hotel in Providence.  It was mid afternoon, we were going to a wedding that started at five, but just how long the whole thing was going to take was a bit up in the air, and the event itself was taking place at a library, so clearly it was going to be catered in, so not going to be a cut above wedding food as it was (which was an erroneous assumption as it turned out, but that was where we were going with a snack just a couple hours before we were scheduled to eat again).
This place is well worth searching out, if only for the octopus dish.  The plates are small and designed to be shared.  The portions are reasonable compared to the prices, and give you a chance to try a number of things.  The braised octopus is out of this world.  It is cooked at a low temperature for 6 hours, and then skinned, and then sauteed at high heat when it is ordered.  Tender, flavorful, and memorable.  Everything else was good as well.
