   Très bon accueil! Nos plats étaient parfaits à l’exception du fondant au chocolat de mon épouse : cela ressemblait plus à une mousse qu’à un fondant. Mais c’était bon quand même. Si nous revenons à Vancouver, nous réserverons à nouveau !!!

   Let’s just say, I have always given servers and restaurant's the benefit of the doubt with the difficulties of Covid and the S C issues they have had to endure. It has been very tough - but this must be said in consideration of that. This restaurant does not deserve the same consideration. There was no attempt to put value and customer satisfaction at the forefront of their priorities. The service was indifferent and pretentiously off putting. Never once were we asked how our meals were, if everything was fine……. which it wasn’t. After a long wait, wine was ordered, after a longer wait, with obsequious apologies, we were informed the Chianti was not available, a moderate $ 75.00 wine, the “ bartender “ suggested a French wine, of course an up sale, but never mind, let’s just get some wine, it’s been 30 mins to order the replacement. We order dinner when the wine comes. Painfully slow in coming, a lboulliabaise, a seafood linguine, a mushroom ravioli with an “ extra “ of five prawns and a prawn and scallops spaghettini. Such a disappointment, the lboulliabaise was a mailed in consummé, a brown insipid slurry with clams matching your pinky and an a piece of “ halibut “ disguised as a chunk of tofu. The meals were at best a high school home economics class. The spaghettini was “ unseasoned blackened prawns “ with gritty pathetic scallops covered with what seemed to be tinned tomatoes, flavourless and thoroughly unappetizing, it lay in a watery grave of unstrained pasta water and tomato residue. Oh, by the way, the undelivered and “ unavailable “ Chianti was on the bill, which I pointed out, and was recalculated to exclude. We ate here ten years ago, obviously it was when chef cared and took pride in the kitchen, and it was served with charm and grace. I wish there was a no star option but alas, like the tip screen on the card machine, that was not an option. Run Away ! Put your wallets away and look for a food truck.

   Had a lovely dinner in the outside area of the restaurant. Food quality and execution was impressive!! Only issue came with the BC Cheese platter, that included one slice of Brie, one slice of Blue Cheese and a ramekin of olives - severely overpriced and left a disappointing feeling at the end of an otherwise wonderful meal.

    Great food and service. Dishes were made with care and were tasty. Nice location as well. The outdoor seating can be made more comfortable. The seats are a bit tough to sit on for a long time and tables feel cramped. Also, the heater was on too high, making us all a bit hotter than we'd like.

    Food was great as usual, but they were extremely busy and the service unfortunately suffered. As well I requested an oat milk latte, but the latte was definitely made with regular milk and I am lactose intolerant. I fully understand staffing issues and being busy, but mistakes like this need to be addressed and corrected so that it does not happen to someone else. As I said, other than the service yesterday, everything else was perfect!

    Provence MarinasideResponded on August 7, 2022Hello Suzette, We are so sorry to hear that the service that you received was not up to our regular standards. We take all allergy and dietary requests so seriously and I so wish this was brought to the attention of a manager on duty so that they could have made things better for you. Please accept our apologies. We hope to have you with us again soon for a better experience. Kind regards, Lisa

    First time dining at Provence. We asked to switch tables immediately after being seated and the manager accommodated us without an issue. The staff were friendly and proficient. The menu has a variety of French dishes and some west coast seafood dishes. I particularly liked the selection of digestifs with many pages of options. My halibut was slightly over cooked but that’s being picky, the flavour was delicious. Our table was outside and it was not level due to the slope of the sidewalk but this isn’t really the fault of the restaurant. Overall we had a great experience.

    Provence MarinasideResponded on August 7, 2022Thank you for your recent visit and for sharing your very thoughtful comments. We are so happy to hear that guests are still finding us for the first time. We hope to have you with us again soon. Kind regards, Lisa

    We love visiting Vancouver and this was our first visit to Provence Mariniaside. Although the food was delicious and the wine list extensive, we were disappointed by the overall ambience. From the photos online, it appeared the outdoor seating was larger and closer to the water but in reality we were seating right on the street. Our server was friendly and responsive but seemed extremely busy dealing with his section of customers. Would we return to Provence Mariniaside? We are not sure with so many options to choose in Vancouver.

    The food is consistently good. I am a big seafood and fish lover and last night the halibut was beyond perfect! The staff are always friendly and prompt. which makes the overall experience memorable. In addition, my husband and I really enjoy their weekend brunch. A great Yaletown restaurant that is really our go-to place .

    Anniversary dinner. Everything was excellent. Rack of lamb and wild mushroom ravioli with shrimp were both tasty entrees. The grilled avocado with shrimp was tasty appetizer. The lemon tart was a yummy dessert. We were seated on the patio, so the view of the water and marina was very nice. The service was excellent.
