    a dining room with tables and chairs
    Lily W.

    This spot is a cozy spot for dinner! It's very clean and the servers are very kind and welcoming. I didn't get the name of my server but he was very funny and was very helpful in deciding dishes. I got the Beef Bourguignonne, Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, Seafood Risotto, Crème Brûlée and the Bread Pudding. I can't quite remember which cocktail I ordered but it was light and refreshing. It was my first time having Beef Bourguignonne and I enjoyed it very much. The meat was tender and pulled apart so easily and the green beans were nice and crunchy. This would be the dish I'd come back for! The seafood risotto was a generous portion and equally delicious. There were many bits of seafood which I appreciated and the creaminess of the risotto made me want to eat more and more of it. I loved the plating of it as well! The only dish I wasn't the biggest fan of was the lobster bisque. I was expecting it to be creamy but it was very watery. I ended the night with 2 desserts which were the crème brûlée and bread pudding with ice cream. My favorite was the bread pudding. It tasted like a warm cake and pairing it with the ice cream made it all that much tastier. It was the perfect dessert to end the meal. This is a great spot for a romantic date night! Highly recommend you check it out and make your reservations!

    What a different dining experience on a street filled with amazing eating experiences. The exterior and interior will transport you to a more serene place. Great for brunch or just a good meal. Good food. Great coffee and desserts. The steak, the liver, the pomme frites weee great. Bread pudding dessert was light and fresh. Service is friendly and fast. The ambience is best described as elegant / casual. Come. Sit. Relax. Enjoy.

    Had a really enjoyable experience here during restaurant week. We got the escargot, meatballs, and crab cake for appetizers. The garlic butter with the escargot was perfect to dip bread into. The meatballs were probably my least favorite - tasted kind of like meatloaf, but the polenta was nice and everyone else enjoyed the meatball. The crab cake wasn't overly breaded which is really nice. The steak was soooo good. Had that nice char on it, was cooked well, and I had leftovers! I would definitely come back again and recommend to someone else for an enjoyable French restaurant and experience.

    Delicious brunch with excellent service and comfortable ambiance. The bloody mary's were also outstanding. Spicey and fresh olives. Not a cheap brunch but the presentation and taste were worth the price of admission.

    Very good French Bistro. Excellent service and the Mussels, the fish, the duck , and the steak was excellent. A standout: the liver. Reservations are a must for weekends. Maybe skip the escargot, though.

    Le Provençal serves up French classics and other fare with the kind of love and balance of flavor that you hope to find at a bistro. Dinner for two and we split an appetizer (the beet salad on special) and each got an entree (beef bourguignonne and the Milanese chicken special) and a extra side of pommes frites (note: these took shoestring fries to a whole other level, they were yummy but not very potato-ey, see photo.) While the beet salad was unremarkable and somewhat small for the $17 price tag, the entrees were absolutely delicious. I was glad to have ordered the extra side, as the entree portions were also on the smaller side, though the food was so rich you wouldn't really want more. We finished the meal with two scoops of sorbet -- one lemon which was average, and one mango which was exceptional -- which came with some fresh strawberries and was the perfect way to finish off the meal. The service was excellent and the experience overall was really enjoyable and makes any occasion feel special. I hope to repeat this experience and hopefully give them a fifth star, but for now, I had to knock it a for a few little reasons. First: while the portion size and prices are not totally unreasonable given the high quality and richness of the food, you do have to order a lot of dishes and therefore spend a lot of money to really enjoy a meal here -- one entree per person is not going to cut it without extra sides and appetizers. Second: the atmosphere, which seems to be striving for intimate and upscale, could have been greatly improved if the lights were on a little less bright. It seemed odd that they had been barely dimmed at 8pm on a Saturday night, but it may have something to do with the mature clientele they seem to be primarily serving here. Third: while I really appreciated the variety of non-alcoholic drink options, I was surprised that my mocktail was tiny, tasted like a melted jolly rancher, and cost about as much as other cocktails with top shelf booze in them. That said, Le Provençal is a really excellent restaurant overall, and I look forward to dining here on future special occasions, hopefully when the weather is a little warmer and the outdoor seating is available!

With both à la carte options and a $44 Prix Fixe menu, we went for the prix fixe -- and it was the best decision of the day. A truly enchanting brunch that felt as if we had slipped away to a cozy café in Paris. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, with live soft jazz music setting the perfect tone. The staff was warm and attentive, anticipating every need -- even the bread served with a luxurious French butter with black sea salt was top notch. No land Lake served on their tables. Cocktails Bloody Mary -- perfectly mixed, bright and briny with just the right touch of horseradish Peach Bellini -- light, fruity, and beautifully balanced Appetizers Salmon Tartare -- diced fresh tuna , with a vibrant pesto sauce, served with crisp baguette toasts. Not only did the food roll off my tongue, but it was a substantial first course. Hubby opted for the Soup du jour, a comforting individual tureen of butternut squash soup, delicately garnished with sunflower seeds -- savory with just a hint of sweetness, the perfect bowl for a cold, rainy day. I had a few spoonfuls and can agree it was delicious and warming. Entrées So many options I really had a tough time picking one. So many classic French dishes, but the buckwheat crepe won out. A SMOKED SALMON CREPE Filled with chopped salade, in a buckwheat crêpe, sunny up egg. Great to the last bite. Husband continued with a French theme steak sandwich with brie cheese, pickle shallots, aioli, and pomme frites Dessert Chocolate Mousse -- airy, rich, and deeply satisfying; the perfect sweet finish. The waiter comes over with a huge tureen of chocolate mousse and scoops out a huge amount of it to add in your dessert plate . Quite the presentation. Paired with after-dinner drinks, this brunch was a seamless blend of French elegance and warmth -- every bite, every note of music, every detail thoughtfully done. A truly delightful experience we can't wait to repeat.

Some sections of the restaurant require walking up small sets of stairs, so they may not be accessible for all. Our table had couch seating on one side and was comfortable, but the table itself was a tiny bit small when accommodating a bunch of plates and glasses. To drink, I had the pomegranate martini. It was quite strong, fruity, and not overly sweet. My husband had the bees knees. It was juicy and flavorful. To start, we had a salad from the specials menu. It included mandarins, kiwi, goat cheese, almonds, and arugula. It was a large portion size and crisp and refreshing. We also had the spinach artichoke dip, which was rich and tasted very fresh. For my main, I had the penne. I loved the tomato cream sauce. I also got a side of onion rings. They were shoestring style, which I wasn't expecting, but they were piping hot and very tasty. My husband enjoyed his steak, but one should note that the dish is literally just steak, so you need to order sides separately if you want any accompaniments. For dessert, we had the lemon tart. It was lovely, especially with the accompanying berries. Our waiter was excellent. The only negative was that I asked for a special dessert and candle for my husband's birthday and they completely forgot. I even called earlier in the day to confirm they would be able to do it. So that was a slight disappointment, but otherwise it was a great meal.

The space is modern, warm, and understated. Everything we ordered was excellent. The panisse was golden and crisp on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle.

Every plate felt carefully put together, with classic French techniques and just enough creativity to make each dish feel special. And then there was dessert.

Estelle did not have anything prepared ahead of time and was 15 minutes late. The assistant who was there to greet us seemed unhappy and annoyed that we were there and did not let us know Estelle was running late. When Estelle started the class there was no greeting or introduction and no instruction as to what the girls would be doing. She split the girls into two tables but the assistants were not able to give instructions so each table had to wait while Estelle worked with the other table. One of the assistants just kept rolling her eyes at the girls and repeating "I'm not the chef" and pointing to Estelle and saying to listen but there was no way for them to listen to the instruction because she was demonstrating with her back to them at the other table. So most of the time the girls were just sitting around waiting for instructions. When my co-leader tried to step in and help give instruction Estelle was extremely rude to her, and in front of the kids! The kids barely got to do any cooking. They basically just measured some ingredients into bowls and poured them into cupcake tins. These girls were between 9-14 years old and they have all been doing that since they were 3 and 4 years old. We thought they would be learning more than prepping ingredients and stirring ingredients around. When we asked if the girls would be doing any of the actual cooking Estelle told us she couldn't have them working with the hot oven. I asked my girls when we got home what they thought and they said it was boring and they didn't get to do any cooking, that Estelle did everything for them. The pictures of the shop online look nothing like what it actually looks like in person, which was very run down with stuff piled everywhere, no pastries in the cases, some dead plants in the window and very dirty. The fact that Estelle charged us $900, which is money the girls made themselves selling cookies, felt like a huge scam. I'm so bummed we wasted their hard earned money and our time at Estelle Gourmet.

It was my first time having escargot and I pity any other restaurant that may serve these to me moving forward. We were given extra bread just to make sure we could dip it in all of its garlicky, oily wonderfulness. The duck wings had a great Asian, sticky-wing type of flavor (another first for me) and the bone marrow just melted in your mouth. If you like the fatty part of the steak, say "yes" to the marrow. *chefs kiss* For entrees we had the chicken leg special, steak frite (you get a choice of cut) and the salmon. We were all just taking bites off of each other's plate all night. The gravy that came with the chicken special was perfect and paired amazingly with the crispy skin of the chicken. The steak; cooked PERFECTLY! (You see the pics!) & that salmon in the beurre blanc?! More perfection. Like the good children we are, we ate all our food and felt we deserved dessert. We ordered two apple tarts, which they outsource, and the crème brûlée. The apples were sweet and tender and I never have any bad words for crème brûlée . We also ended our evening with some cappuccinos and a healthy pour of amaro noninno; just devine. To top it all off, we noticed a DJ setting up towards the end of dinner service.
