Restaurant - Provence Marinaside
Seating - Early - 6pm
Price $25 each
Ambiance - Cozy, Stonework with water feature, great view of the water
Service - efficient but not overly friendly
Food we had - Black Olive Tapenade and Crostini [too salty for my taste]
Appy: One Choice of 20 of their Antipasto
- - Grilled Calimari [tasty and flavorful, not too chewy at all]
- - Grilled Lamb [served in kabobs with roasted peppers]
- - MAHI MAHI AND PRAWNS DUO roasted roma tomato, basmati rice with sauté of zucchini [very tasty and light; Mahi Mahi was slightly undercook but not dry]
- - DAUBE D'AGNEAU white wine lamb stew, winter vegetables [The table next to us both had the lamb stew and it smelled phenomenal and they said it tasted great especially on a cold rainy night.]
- Creme Brulee with raspberry [typical in most higher end restaurant; it was a safe choice]
- Double Chocolate Kahlua Cake with Raspberry Coulis [very rich and decadent]
Additional Comments -
It was good value for the price and the place was hopping with lots of big tables.
Downside - The sound volume was loud and echo-y and it was hard to carry a conversation for two people without yelling.
Meet Expectation - Yes, good place to go.

I've been to Provence .. and I quite possibly went there for Dine Out that time too (late Jan 2005). I can't recall if it was Dine Out or not as I went with a bunch of friends to a friend's friend's friend's birthday party. Yup, you guessed it, I don't know the birthday girl at all. She had a pretty big group of people there and booked up one big section. (At least 50 people at the dinner...)
I don't remember much about the food, except that they have really good bread and we actually had about 7 refills for the bread. We were starving as we waited a looong time to get our food. As for the portions, I remember ordering fish and the size was perfect for me. I think the guys at the table, however, would have been starving afterwards if it wasn't for all the bread they ate!
