Service by Becca was exceptional. Nice, friendly, attentive; she was a big part of making our evening a success. Two of us had the 5 course tasting menu and that was very enjoyable. Not being a chocolate person the only course I was not a big fan of was the dessert. All the other courses had a great combination of flavors and were cooked to perfection. Usually tasting menus are just that with a small taste at each course. However, the last main course (NY strip) was the size of the normal entrée. So you will definitely have plenty to eat! We would definitely recommend the tasting menu. My wife had the heirloom tomato and Burrata salad to start and the Seabass for her entrée. The salad was excellent and highly recommended but she thought the Seabass was a little fishy tasting, slightly overcooked, and seemed more like trout. I was surprised at the stacked thin filet strips with skin vs a thick portion you usually see for Seabass.

Next day surprised and disappointed to find a 3% "convenience" charge on the bill they didn't tell or warn me about. It wasn't convenient! No idea what it was for. Paid by Visa which I believe charges merchants 2%. Was I supposed to pay in cash?? French fries were excellent - some of the best. Very good fried oyster Po'boy. Exceptional coleslaw. Large crab cake sandwich with good flavor. Thought the parmesan oyster appetizer was pretty good but overpriced for only 6 medium sized oysters. Steamer appetizer was excellent with lots of clams and a great broth. Most seafood entrees seemed overpriced (inflation impacted I assume), so we went with sandwiches. Loved the live music and his song selection, but a bit loud making it hard to converse at the same time.

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.

The dining rooms, table arrangements, and the silverware are so elegant. All the food that came out was plated so beautifully, look at the pictures. I loved the Duck Confit over the waffles. The duck was cooked very tender and it went well with the waffles/syrup. The omelet had this really savory gruyere cheese that we loved. I think my favorite dish would be the beignet tree. They were fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft and warm on the inside. All three sauces that came with them were out of this world, but I think my favorite one was the raspberry sauce. The prices for what you get aren't too bad either, it was $25 for bread, entree, and drink. I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once for a special occasion.

The last time we dined at "Sax At The Reeds" was soon after they opened, and it had not been good. My entree on that first visit had been so inedible, I took one bite and left the rest. That may have been a first for me. It was that bad. I didn't even ask for something else; I was so disgusted. This most recent experience was considerably improved. My wife and I were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary a few days late, and when prompted during the reservation process, I had checked the box for "special occasion" without thinking much about it. It seemed rather incidental, but I thought it couldn't hurt. The staff at Sax did not disappoint. When we arrived at the front desk, the sharply-dressed gentleman working the host stand was engaging and personable, and when we answered that we did indeed have reservations, he guessed our name and welcomed us and congratulated us on our anniversary. He asked if we preferred a special table and offered a window seat if we liked. If we'd known they had a fireplace, we probably would have chosen to sit in front of that, but the window seat was lovely. We were soon greeted by Patrick, our server for the evening, and he arrived with two flutes of sparkling wine on the house and wished us a happy anniversary. Patrick was an animated and exuberant server who definitely knew his job, understood the food and wine, and had strong opinions about the menu. We were never in need of anything, but also never felt overwhelmed by his presence. A good balance. My wife began with the broiled oysters, which were phenomenal, and I had the steakhouse salad, which was surprisingly good for being an original take on a simple wedge. It was exactly what I wanted and a perfect size. Not too big or small and elegantly presented. For our entrees, Jane ordered the crab-stuffed flounder with lobster sauce on a bed of risotto, which she thoroughly enjoyed even though it's not something she would typically order. Jane has a very critical palette and is a great cook herself, so she's not easily pleased. She thought it was a delicious, well-balanced dish. I had been craving steak, an uninspiring selection, so I ordered the NY Strip with maître d'hôtel butter. While we enjoyed our wine, Patrick returned to offer me a choice of five different knives, displayed in a wooden box. He explained each one and asked for my choice. I told him I would go with his recommendation, and I got something simple called "The Knife," a hand-hammered piece of fine cutlery. The steak was perfectly cooked, although I personally found it under-seasoned. I like a salty finish on my red meat, so Patrick promptly brought me a small dish of fleur de sel, and we were in business. My sides were whipped potatoes and carrots, both of which were good, but the potatoes were presented as if plated with a large ice cream scoop, which made them appear fake diner potatoes. Even Jane called it out as an unusual choice. The carrots were perfectly cooked and had an almost citrus finish. For wine, we had selected a Chardonnay chosen by the sommelier as a special for the evening, and it was good but not transcendent, while the Chappallet red blend on the menu was absolutely exquisite. Powerful and smooth with a great finish. For dessert, I had planned to order the warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream that I had seen on the website, but it wasn't available. Instead, we ordered something called the Dubai Cheesecake. Dubai chocolate was something I was vaguely aware of, but wasn't entirely sure what it was. Patrick assured us that while the dish was hard to describe in terms of a flavor profile, it was a killer bit of confection. He wasn't wrong. It was crunchy and creamy, complex in its simplicity. A transformative dish, and we're not even big dessert people. I won't pretend that any of this was a bargain, but excellence rarely is. I'll admit to a bit of sticker shock when the bill arrived, so be prepared to drop a few bills. But if you're looking for great service and food, you won't find anything better at the Jersey Shore than Sax at the Reeds. It's worth a special trip.
