   We love La Provence and it is sad for us to have to report that the meal this time was terrible. We came for our Anniversary. We had a wonderful cocktail before being seated in our favorite area by the fireplace. Exceptional evening up to this point. We ordered our favorite French Onion soup and it was so poorly presented (the cheese was not melted completely across the bowl, but sinking into the soup) and it tasted like it had come out of a can...that means no flavor and onions with no texture. The onions, and this is onion soup, may have been chopped a month before and resurrected from the freezer because they were mushy and fell apart in the bowl! We mentioned it to our server, David, and he promptly brought us a replacement, the delicious, well prepared, very fresh Chicken Vegetable soup. All was back on keel until the main course was delivered. We ordered another favorite, Beef Wellington, and specifically ask for it to be served rare. Again, the meat was WELL done! I don't know what happened to the integrity of the meal...who was sending these plates out to the customer? We hope this was a one-time fluke. We felt that it was important to let management know about our experience. We appreciated the lovely complementary dessert given to us for our Anniversary, but the meal was terrible.

   As usual, we really enjoyed our brunch at La Provence. Two of us ordered the Salmon Benedict which was very good. My husband ordered the Pork Belly Benedict and brother in law had a club sandwich. Their French fries are great. We were celebrating a birthday and of course the birthday dessert is complementary for the birthday person. Service is excellent.

   We have been to La Provence many times. Got their flyer for a beautiful-looking rack of lamb dinner which we both ordered. My wife sent hers back and got scallops. We started with escargot which was very ordinary. The crab cakes were better. Every time we go to La Provence we say it will be the last time. This time it will be.

   Charming ambience, friendly servers and good food. My girlfriend raved about her Salmon Sliders and I enjoyed my Rueben sandwich with a healthy serving of pastrami. A bit light on the sauerkraut but still yummy. We will be back!

    Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Waitress completely forgot about our pre-dinner cocktails in spite of asking about them and reminding her. After 35 min when our food was served, we asked her again. She realized she had completely forgotten about them, and apologized. She brought them 5 min after we started to eat the main dish. In her defense, the restaurant was very busy, and she did end up comping the cocktails. The bus service was impeccable, and our water glasses were kept full and empty dishes cleared in a timely fashion. Promote the bus boy!

    Antonio did a great job! The chicken corn soup was very good and reasonably priced. Ordered a small Caesar salad with it for the perfect meal. My friends ordered the cod special of the day which had great flavors with the pistou sauce. Great selection of wine by the glass. I had a Frank Family Cabernet. I have never seen that particular wine by the glass. Bottle yes but not glass. Very nice. We stayed a while for a great visit with friends. There was available seating and they were gracious not to rush us. We’d definitely come again for lunch or dinner.

    Ambience was nice. It’s a cute little building and had some nice hopes for dinner. Service was good (ish) was busy on a Friday but they were doing their best to keep up. The menu looked decent. Had some nice French options. The food though was just bad. Bread service looked like they just bought some bread from Safeway, cut it up threw some pre packaged butter in a plastic service tray and sent it out. If you’re gonna do bread before dinner take a few extra minutes and make it worth it The escargot was good but they served it with some white bread that they just cut the crust off of and over toasted it. The fondue was some 3 day old pita bread and was this odd smoky chipotle fondue that was pretty awful We got halibut and beef Wellington The halibut was breaded and tasted like a filet o fish from McDonald’s. (Which isn’t a knock but idk why you want to bread a nice fish like halibut) The Wellington was burned and just didn’t taste good. They served both dishes with the same kind of green beans and carrots that they serve at elementary school cafeterias. Not even joking. Place has potential but whoever the chef is cares more about $ than making good food, which is understandable, but I won’t be back.

    I have been coming to la Provence for years and always enjoy it. If I go for lunch I usually order the Reuben sandwich because they have,in the past, made their own corned beef and it's the best ever but this time it seemed different and now at flavorful and the bread was toasted instead of grilled. I did not find cheese as well but it was ok enough. Our waiter and all wait staff were excellent.

    We had a late reservation for new year eve. The staff couldn’t wait for us the leave. Main course presented while eating first course. The dessert arrived 10 minutes after our main course. For an expensive evening and fine dining establishment I expected more. Our server was great and the food excellent. But the rushed pacing detracted from the experience

    We were seated next to a window that leaked rain all over the floor and all over my husband. My daughter was seated in a broken folding chair. Our $97 NYE fixed price menu options were good, but very overpriced. A garden salad with goat cheese, a small chilean sea bass entree and a very small dessert for $97, in a drafty room with rain dripping on us, was ridiculous. And, to upgrade from a salad to crab cakes was an additional $5 on top of the $97!!! Our waiter could not tell us how the rack of lamb was prepared when we asked—keep in mind there were only 5 entree options that evening. They also rushed us through our meal, bringing our entrees while we were still eating our salads. We are extremely disappointed in La Provence this time around. We have been here many times, including NYE a few years ago, and after this experience are not sure we will be back.

    Our $97 per person New Year's Eve dinner for 2 ended up being almost $350. And we only had two basic cocktails and one glass of wine added. Add on a mandatory 20% gratuity for the kitchen staff, and an additional gratuity for our server. My broccoli was hard, the promised mushrooms with my steak were absent and I had to ask for them, they brought us a glass of wine we did not order, they kept forgetting our silverware during each course. It was a painful experience and I'll never do it again. Kicking myself this morning for spending $350 for a mediocre dinner for 2.

    We went for NYE dinner. It was a wonderful Prix Fixe menu with great GF options. Our server was great and had a fun personality. My only complaint was that we were seated in the cellar and it just doesn’t have the beauty and charm of the main dining room. It was still a nice meal and I’ll definitely return.
