A fav place for delicious french food. Nice place to relax, people watch, eat good, etc. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers.

Excellent food. Pleasant atmosphere. Good service. We enjoyed the long standing menu entrée, the filet mignon. Excellent place for an anniversary dinner.

Imagine the quiet energy of a street side French bistro merged with the charm of a lit garden cafe and you'd have Provence. Down to Earth wait staff connect you to appetizers, salads and entrees that brim with refreshingly distinct flavors emblematic of thoughtful attention to detail. Layered flavors and refined execution explain a commitment to craft that extracts something remarkable from simple ingredients and a deft hand in the kitchen. Menu changes seasonally. Outdoor seating during Covid makes safety a default to allow for the full enjoyment of your meal.

You won't find a better French meal anywhere in North Carolina. Chef is a wizard, the staff is as friendly as they are knowledgeable, and if you aren't a wine drinker (though their cellar is impressive, and the staff's recommended pairings will never steer you wrong), the cocktails are perfection. Yes, you pay for this performance, but the tariff is worth the experience. For the number, I can't honestly recommend sitting outside in never-temperate Orange County and enjoying your meal, and while they've been gamely offering takeout to stay afloat during COVID, cuisine of this nature doesn't travel well in boxes and lukewarm servings at home. But should they return to indoor service, this is a must-visit.

Excellent good! Excellent service! The wine the helped us pick was perfect for us!

We adore Provence. The food is always amazing! In this difficult time of Covid, Provence is providing socially distanced outdoor dining. As always, the quality is there, in the delicious food, great wine, and friendly service. Highly recommend.

We had to celebrate our anniversary at home. Contacted the restaurant. They were extraordinarily helpful, Even agreed to deliver the meal at a particular time although we live well outside their normal delivery zone. And the food--all of it--was delicious. A wonderful experience.

I wanted a French dinner last night because I was supposed to be on vacation on a French island. Due to COVID our plans changed. Provence delivered a lovely replacement We both enjoyed the Arugula salad and lamb. I enjoyed the onion soup as well. Wine 1/2 price! Very glad we ordered from here. We look forward to dinner at the restaurant.

This is a hard time for restaurants, and if you value your favorite places and are still making dough, GET TAKEOUT. This place will send you home with food that is ridiculously delicious. Recommendations: rack of lamb and duck confit. If you are a regular, get some dinner here. If you have never been, it's first rate. Now find your way there and eat well. Bonus: bottles of wine are half price. Get that. Leave a good tip for their staff.

We got take out tonight since the restaurant is closed due to the pandemic. Everything was delicious! Especially liked the shrimp risotto and the orange chocolate tart. Thanks to the folks at Provence for making this culinary option available to our community during this time of isolation.
We decided to try doing a take out meal for the first time since the self isolation measures have taken place in our area. We opted to order from Provence as unlike many of the other restaurants they seem to offer meals from their dining-in-house menu rather than from a more limited take-out menu. We are so glad that we made that decision. The meal was excellent, piping hot when we picked it up and still deliciously warm when we ate it after arriving home. Our order included the grilled shrimp appetizer, the lobster bisque, the Mahi Mahi Indochina entree and the Tournedos Forrestiere entree. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. Plenty to have as leftovers later. The restaurant provided sliced baguette and herbed olive oil as well as gluten free crackers to accompany the meal. This was a special occasion , a birthday, so we were so pleased that the meal turned to be so special as well. Looking forward to doing it again. Plus the staff was so pleasant and helpful with all aspects of the ordering and pick-up process.

In this self-quarantine world, many restaurants have converted to take out and free delivery to survive. We had an excellent meal Friday night, 03/20/2020 with Escargot De Roquefort, Salad de Provence, and my wife had flounder de Provencale and I had a Mahi Mahi with an Asian ginger sauce. We added a nice bottle of chablis since all wine is 50% off.

My husband and I spent Valentine's Day here yesterday. The service was extremely slow and the servers were not friendly. We had a reservation for 5, and the restaurant was not busy at the time. The food was OK, but not worth the price.

My husband and I spent Valentine's Day here yesterday. The service was extremely slow and the servers were not friendly and we felt ignored. We had a reservation for 5 pm, and the restaurant was not busy at the time. The food was OK, but definitely not worth the price.

This was my second visit to Provence. Excellent service both time, we had an outstanding bottle of Sancerre, starters were delicious: escargot and onion soup. Watercress salad was delicious. Tuna main was delicious and perfectly cooked. I had the steak frites and asked for medium rare. My steak was well/medium well. It was still fine and I did not complain. On my first visit I had the duck breast special, which they also cooked medium well. So... great service, great wine list, great atmosphere, very good food... but they tend to over cook meat (which is so strange for a French chef). I will probably go back and I think I will try a fish main and will stay away from duck and beef.
