    A “go to” for any occasion. Consistent. Never disappoints. I take my wife, because she enjoys it so much. True secret, I enjoy it more than her. Service is always attentive, without being overbearing. Food is always exceptional. A secret amongst those who know. Make reservations and enjoy your experience.

    Delicious French Food bursting with flavor. Scallops were cooked well, and flavors were balanced. Haricot vert was a bit overcooked and soft for my liking, but the chevre salad was to die for. The lunch service was slow despite the lack of crowd. I believe at the highest point we were one of 4 two-top tables, and it felt as if we were all sharing an over-worked server. Think twice before coming here if you have things to do after. I would like to see a larger cocktail menu. It does appear to be a full or at least well-stocked bar so you'll likely get whatever you ask for, but I love to see what the house suggests or has taken the time to figure out in advance.

    We went for the Tuesday pre fixe to celebrate a birthday. It was very busy and took a second to get sat despite our reservation, but it wasn't a big deal. The food was excellent and fairly portioned for the price. We would have liked to have a different glass of wine with each course but we weren't waited on often enough to order them, and when we did order a glass it took about 10 minutes to come out. The food was definitely the best part of the night, and though the service fell short a little bit it was very busy, so we understood. We have been to Cafe Provence several times with typically excellent service, and always excellent food!

    French cuisine done to perfection! One of our highest recommendations is to go and try something new; you will enjoy it! Their sauces are wonderful and rich, salads are great! Veal and Amish chicken superb! Restaurant is smallish but set up so that the experience is very good.

    Consistently superb (both food and service), yet unpretentious. I've lived in France, and of all the French restaurants I've been to in the U.S., this is the one that most closely resembles my favorite bistros there, in terms of both food and atmosphere. I also appreciate the fact that, unlike most restaurants in the US today, it is blessedly free of intrusive background music (sometimes there's French music playing, but never at high volume), and that, even when it's crowded, the noise level, though lively, is such that you can have a conversation without having to shout or to strain to hear your table companions.

    We went here yesterday for our wedding anniversary, and WOW! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance and service was superb. We had several courses and our waitress spaced them out perfectly. We started with the onion soup - 10/10, crab cake 11/10 (90% crab meat), and escargot (my least favorite thing we had but still great). Our main courses were the veal and halibut, which were also perfect. For dessert, we had the apple tart and it was phenomenal. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone for a casual or special occasion. I'm told they have a $48 Tuesday night special so I'll be adding that to our "to-do" list as well.

    A solid French restaurant with French speaking staff. Food was very good and I particularly liked the Foie Gras. Only criticism is that it is a successful restaurant, which means both sitings were completely filled on a Monday and we were told that our table was ours for only 1.5 hours, which is not enough to enjoy a quality meal.
