We had a great time at Provence on New Year's Eve. The meal was a two course Prix Fixe - not cheap - the food was excellent. We arrived early (5:30 PM) I enjoyed my escargot with blue cheese and my...

My first restaurant review and I must admit that I am still on a chocolate fondant high. I took my parents to dinner at Provence and we had a perfect evening. Cute place, cute waiter, spectacular food. I loved...

We went here a number of times and had nice meals. Then, about a year or so ago, we had a very disappointing experience. Let us begin at the beginning. Their wine steward hasn't a clue. My wife did not want...

My girlfriend loves places like this, so when we walked by a while ago she insisted that we try it. I was a bit apprehensive since, as someone who has spent a lot of time in Provence, I didn't relish...

I come to Provence every time I want to get good French food but don't want to drive too far. The atmosphere here is really cool, and probably the best attribute of the place. The food is above...

The owners, Felix (raised in Provence, France) & his wife Anne have been in the restaurant industry for over 40 years. The restaurant, located just on the cusp of a residential area, is in a house,...

We recently took a visitor from France to Provence and he was greatly impressed by the food. He informed us it was the "real thing". Our waitress suggested that we try the escargot in roquefort and the seafood...

My husband and I were fans of Provence for years. They had one of the best wine selections, appetizers and fish to choose from without the formal pompous atmosphere one associates with a higher end restaurant....

My husband and I have been eating at Provence regularly since we moved here 3 years ago. It is the only place in town we will eat fish (which is superb), the cottage is adorable and the waitstaff is always...

What a change--and not for the better. I ate here with out-of-town relatives two years ago, and the meal was wonderful. The food and service were well above average, and the place was busy that night. Two...

Provence was a very good, but not exceptional meal. Although it strives to be a french restaurant, I would say it is more French-influenced. I guess it's the Southern French bent, but the dishes were...

What impresses me most about Provence is that we have been there over a dozen times and have yet to be disappointed. In fact, the most difficult part of the evening is choosing which wonderful items to choose...

Had a lovely dinner there on one of the hottest, most humid nights this summer. The thought of having to dress up made me feel faint so I called the restaurant before our 8pm reservation to ask about the dress...

We've been there twice now, and going again tonight -- it has become our favorite "nice" dinner place in town. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is darling, quiet and romantic, unlike so...

This quaint, understated restaurant offers delicious provincial favorites served by highly attentive and--generally, fairly--knowledgable waitstaff. Among the stars is a multitude of appetizers, none of which...

Pros: Location, okay wine list. Waiter was nice but not well informed. Cons: Food was cooked poorly (I ordered the tuna, was told it would be "seared" on the outside and pink on the inside. It was overcooked...

I've enjoyed two visits to this fine resaurant and look forward to many more. It was so nice to see escargots on a menu again, and they were superb. The service on both occasions was outstanding. A feature no...

This restaurant has been around for over a year and I just heard about it for the first time on the recommendation of a co-worker. The escargot starter was superb (I recommend them in the roquefort cheese). We...

I don't usually review a restuarant after only one visit but Provence is the exception. For the Triangle, it's a 4 star dining experience. We had reservations for a Saturday night with another couple. Seating...

Undoubtably the BEST French food (heck, the best food, period)in the Triangle. We were a party of 6. From the onion soup, the escargot, the salmon terrine, and the duck pate, thru the lemon sole, beef...
