We four women love A La Provence for our GNO. The service is fantastic; that is to say servers are experienced, offer good suggestions and make us feel special. The salads (below) are gorgeous and fresh, and a roasted garlic appetizer was sensational.
How could someone give this place anything less than 5 stars, this is authentic French cuisine. The French onion soup tastes so good.
We came for our 3 year Anniversary and could not have been happier or more satisfied.
Brandon out server was VERY attentive and knowledgeable. He knew all about the wines and every little detail about all of the food.
We had the most special time. The cheese board is amazing. The French onion soup and Moroccan meat ball soup were both fantastic. The duck was cooked to perfection and out of this world!! The salmon was very well cooked and tasted beautiful.
Micro salads are so nice and very refreshing.
The chocolate mousse was the lightest fluffiest most decadent I have eaten.
The ambience is very romantic and the music is soft and light.
One of the best dining experiences we have had.
We will definitely be back
Love this restaurant! I require gluten free, vegetarian and the chef and waiter always meet my special dietary needs in a tasty way that NO restaurant has ever done before. Excellent quality and well-seasoned and prepared food. Excellent service ALWAYS from Brian, our favorite waiter. My husband has ordered steak and lamb dishes and always raves about them -- calls this an "outstanding" dining option.
We recently had a kickoff party there and it was an awesome experience. Not only was the food delicious the staff was professional and accommodating. A special thank you to Charlie who did everything in his power to make the event a positive experience for all. I think there will be many returning guest. Thanks again A La Provence for a job well done.

Our favorite restaurant in Tallahassee! They have fantastic food that is seasonal with wonderful local produce. Quiet atmosphere. Patient and helpful wait staff. The crispy eggplant is a particular favorite, as are their creative desserts. Salmon is always outstanding. Great lamb dishes.
Nice clean place; great food and wine. We have been in Tallahassee since 1981. Under latest ownership, we have never had a bad meal, unpleasant waiters or prolonged wait times. We recommend this restaurant. The owner is very responsive to any issues that may arise. Best to call for reservations.
I was very excited to try A La Provence based on its stellar reviews, but I have to say that I came away very disappointed. The meal began well enough. The escargot (it was my first experience) was flavorful enough, but things went downhill from their. My wife's entree, the soft-shelled crab, was good, but was not better than might be expected from any (far less expensive) seafood restaurant in the area. My own entree, the crispy duck schnitzel, was an utter disappointment. The duck was soggy rather than crisp, and both it and the sauce it was served with lacked any flavor. At times I have encountered foods whose flavors I dislike - I'm willing to chalk such an experience up to a difference in taste. Food which simply lacks flavor, however, is inexcusable. I had high expectations for this restaurant, but sadly I will be unlikely to visit again. With restaurants like Cypress and Liam's around, there's really no reason to waste your money on the bland food at A La Provence.
I've been going to this location since it was the Mustard Tree. As A La Provence, it's totally amazing. The entrees are beautifully prepared and are of the highest quality, the bread is house made, and the cheese board is amazingly created and uses local cheese and interesting pairings. It's a quiet place that is great for intimate dinners, big parties, or even sharing appetizers and a good wine at the bar. The staff is polite and proper but friendly and laid-back at the same time, which is hard to pull off. When we've gone, we've had knowledgeable servers and bartenders who knew which wine would pair best with our food selection. I've never been anything but satisfied with A La Provence. Good atmosphere, great food, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber.
Went there for a birthday lunch. I hadn't been there in years. We started with crispy eggplant salad. Crispy eggplant with an exceptionally crispy coating, topped with herbed goat cheese and tomato jam on tender lettuce with a vinegret lightly applied to the plate. Excellent! I could eat it everyday. Then chicken crepes. Everything was so good.
Looking forward to returning.
