Others might love it but I probably wouldn't order it again. We also had a side of perfectly cooked broccoli ($16). Dessert options were not enticing in our opinion.

Elevated | Intentional | Salmon…read more Elevated - This is one of the more elevated dining experiences on the island. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the restaurant is designed for people looking for something a little more special than a casual meal. It strikes a nice balance between upscale and comfortable, making it equally suited for a romantic date night, celebrating a special occasion, or enjoying a more refined dinner with friends or family. The atmosphere feels polished without being overly formal. Intentional - Everything about the restaurant feels thoughtfully designed. The menu is curated rather than overwhelming, with dishes that seem carefully crafted instead of trying to be everything to everyone. The dining room layout also deserves credit. The tables are spaced in a way that gives you privacy while still maximizing the room. Servers move through the restaurant with ease, and you never feel like you're bumping into other guests or having conversations on top of one another. It's clear that attention was paid to both the guest experience and the overall flow of the restaurant. Salmon - I ordered the salmon, and it was one of the highlights of the evening. The fish was cooked perfectly--tender, flaky, and moist--with an Asian-inspired seasoning that added plenty of flavor without overpowering the salmon itself. The accompanying sides complemented the dish well and created a balanced meal. What surprised me most was the portion size. At a restaurant with this level of presentation, I expected a smaller serving, but the portion was generous and left me completely satisfied. I would absolutely order it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting. Pro tip: Make a reservation, especially during peak dinner hours or weekends. It has the feel of a place people choose for special occasions, so tables can fill up quickly. Pro tip: Come dressed for the atmosphere. While there isn't a strict dress code, business casual or date-night attire fits the vibe and helps make the experience feel complete

Just a kitchen and bill surprise otherwise 5 star service. We started with excellent martinis and the shrimp cocktail. Five pretty good size pieces of shrimp, but they tasted like they had just been dethawed in terms of flavor and texture. I definitely would not order it again. For entrées, I had the crabcakes which were good, but lots of filler. Not near enough remoulade sauce for two crabcakes. My wife had the scallops. She asked if she could substitute the vegetables for spinach and the rice for sweet potatoes fries. Our server said that would be fine and did not say there would be an "up charge" for doing that, nor did I see that mentioned on the menu (I mean you did note an up charge for Caesar salad or lobster bisque substitution). We probably would've ordered it anyway, but we should've been told upfront if we made a side substitution, they were going to charge us more vs a surprise on the bill. The 5 scallops were small but tasty. Initially they brought the scallops with asparagus and French Fries by mistake. Our server noticed and had them go back immediately and fix the order. Still, I had to start alone. Had me scratching my head that they brought the wrong order and still up charged us by surprise for the side substitutions. I would have expected a discount for the kitchen mistake vs an increase in the bill. I asked our server about the up charge and she said that's the way it is. Disappointed to say the least.

Last year we ate here and they blew our minds. Everything was beautifully plated and the flavors…read moreand ingredients were second to none. The service was equally fantastic. This year we decided to return for our anniversary and I'm sad to say this was our last visit to Provence. What a disappointment! We started with a $9 bread basket and the inside of the bread was frozen! We told our server and they brought us a new one at the same time as our appetizers. They really should have taken off the bill. We didn't even eat it. The appetizers (mussels, lobster ravioli, and french onion soup with mushrooms) were very good. The entrees were awful. The trout was really salmon (I know the difference although it can be subtle). It was overcooked and served with overcooked cous cous and frozen, shriveled peas. The short rib was over salted and topped with banana pepper slices straight from the jar and some kind of salty chips over a parsnip, mashed potato yuckiness. Also, we noted on the reservation that this was a birthday and anniversary dinner and it wasn't even acknowledged by the staff. It's evident the "chef" was not the same as our last visit. The food and the service were below average at best. It's a shame.

I was so obsessed with the fig pie that I barely paid attention to the other ones. They were the Philly cheesesteak pie and the Italian sausage pie. We all stuffed ourselves.

I would highly recommend both although I didn't care for the spicy marinara with the calamari. Next, we tried their sushi. The triangle roll in the rainbow roll were very good. The crabcake sandwich with homemade chips was excellent.

It was a decent size, but had no wow factor. I know it's a sandwich. My wife had the margarita pizza, or should I say a piece of flatbread, diced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. That's all it had. No seasoning, no basil nor oil. I honestly think a 5 year old with an easy bake oven could have done better. As for the drink, margarita with barely any ice. Nothing more enjoyable than warm drink on a hot summer day. This place blows. Overpaid garbage.
