In Short – A small house the color of butter welcomes gourmets to Provence's indulgent atmosphere, a respite from the surrounding vegan-tofu community. Saffron padded chairs of wrought iron sit scattered under trees. The glow from bronze pole lanterns flatters both the cuisine and diners' complexions. Inside, the French blue upholstered chairs, an intimate bar and a fluent hostess charm Francophiles. Lemon sole amandine s a classic, yet still feels young and new.

Surprised and happy
by BillDono at Citysearch
I came to Provence looking for a good french restaurant and stumbled upon the best seafood restaurant in the Triangle. The selection, cut, freshness and preparation of fish are among the best I have ever had. We loved the lobster bisque, loved the grouper wrapped in basil leaves and loved the redfish with some kind of garlic vinaigrette. Also, the place is very romantic, very warm and inviting inside.
- Pros: Seafood selections, Great looking place, Parking
- Cons: Waitress needs to smile more

Fantastic Food, Very Warm Ambiance
by 1057 at Citysearch
We walked in to a very charming and very inviting dining room, but chose to sit outside on the patio. I have never seen such an eclectic group of diners in one restaurant. We asked our waiter what his favorites were and were not disappointed. The bisque was wonderful and the escargots were sensational. The three of us ate the Seafood Quartet, which allowed us to sample four fish entrees. I love to try a little of everything so this was right up my alley. We finished off with the Rosemary Ice Cream. Unbelievably creamy. We really appreciated the easy parking too. I am looking forward to going back, maybe with a date this time.
- Pros: Seafood
- Cons: One annoying mosquito

Great romantic place
by Retrosplenial at Citysearch
There have been some negative reviews about this restaurant, so we were a bit wary about dining here. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service, the quality of the food, and the great atmosphere. We were able to sit outside on a beautiful NC evening- one of those rare August evenings when its not too humid outside. We ordered lobster bisque to share, but maybe we should have ordered two because it was very rich and flavorful! One entree was a NC tilefish with lemon marmalade. The fish was flaky white, coated with a very light batter and smothered in a lemony, tart sauce. A second entree consisted of a Parisian flash grilled steak with a rich shallot sauce- very nice, although the frites could have been done a little more. To end, we shared a strawberry panna cotta, which was amazing! They also served one of the best non-bitter espressos I've had in a long time. All and all, we were very happy with the meal, atmosphere and service and would definitely book here again.
