   Great night catching up with a friend. Our server was fantastic & the food was amazing. I’ve been finding Vancouver restaurants lackluster lately, but Provence was incredible & restored my faith in fine dining.

   Steak on dineout menu was super salty especially the sauce. Server said they will recook the meat but ended up putting the sauce aside and gave us the original meat. Super noisy and crowded! We could hardly hear what our friends conversations.

   Outstanding food. The three of us each had separate dishes and all was top notch. Our waitress was great as well. Restaurant has maintained its high quality food for decades now. Thank you.

   Wife and I ordered the exactly the same dishes and came out with different items and varying portions. I was the hungry one and was not too impressed as my wife had 20% more. Service and atmosphere will always be tops in my book.

   The Dine out Vancouver menu choices, and wine pairings, were great. Good value. Hip Pocket jazz was a real bonus. Provence Marinaside quality endures - our favourite "local".

    The food and the atmosphere of the restaurant are excellent. Ordered from the dine out menu but will definitely come back after the promotion is over. Parking underground is quite convenient as well.

    My family and I enjoyed our night out at Provence Marinaside. My parents don’t quite eat that much and my waiter was very accommodating despite that. We quite enjoyed the Pate and the baguette was so good.

    Terrible service! waiter barely showed up to pour our wines, we have to do it ourselves, restaurant has no fresh horseradish to go with raw oysters, no mint jelly or sauce for the rack of lamb. Waiter left before we finished our meals. We should not give him any tips.

    Four of us had dine out Vancouver with wine pairing and extras (oysters, frog legs, mussels and their signature half baguette which is a must have). The food was amazing, the place was completely full making it a wonderful atmosphere and our server Walter was absolutely perfect. I don't remember a dinner where the full experience was a FIVE STARS! Thank you Walter for making my birthday dinner one of the best I ever had!

    We attended for the Dine Out Vancouver promotion. The menu options for Dine Out were great. We have been to this restaurant many times. We always have a great meal and great service. This time was no exception. The food, service and overall experience was fabulous. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    My husband and I came here for our anniversary, while visiting from the USA. We are food fanatics and recently came back from a European tour where we had some of our most memorable meals to date. Provence Marinaside in Vancouver has topped them all. One of the most exemplary meals we have had the pleasure of enjoying. Everything - the ambience, the service, all 4 courses were delicious, nuanced and prepared to perfection. We look forward to returning one day during our future travels to Vancouver.

    I ordered the vegan crepe. It did not look attractive as it basically was a crepe pretending to be a pita stuffed full of potato chunks and fried chick peas. No special flavor. I was so very disappointed and could not finish it. I had expected a fabulous crepe with the vegetables prepared with some effort...not just chunks of potatos. I did expect it to be more traditional. I have eaten at Provence Marinaside many times but have felt that the quality of the food has slipped. I understand the current food and cost issues but that just gives you a challenge to make a good taste and look, even if you downgrade the produce. On the other hand, I find the service very good and the staff makes one feel special.

    Provance Marinaside was a nice spot to celebrate a birthday. We order several appetizers including oysters, escargot and pate. All were tasty although the loose snails rolling around in the dish were a bit odd, and didn't stay warm. Plus we didn't have any bread to sop up the savory buttery sauce. Our mains were good. Three of us had bouillabaisse with ample seafood and the meat dishes were cooked nicely. While we enjoyed ourselves and the food, we felt the service was not on par with the price of things. Even if there is a staffing shortage - the staff on hand should know not to stack plates at the end of the table before clearing, they should know the menu and be able to explain how a dish is prepared, and they should check in shortly after the meal is served. None of this occurred. We were fine - just setting expectations as this was a great meal, without the fine dining experience we thought we'd have at this restaurant.

    We were there to celebrate my friend's birthday. We ordered several dishes to share: - Seafood platter. - Mussels. - Prawn and lobster spaghetti. - Crab & Lobster Bamboo Rice. Overall, the food was good. The mussels were a bit small to my liking. The only criticism was the service. The server was not engaging or friendly. Because of his attitude, we decided to go to another place instead of staying there for dessert. I would recommend this place if they improve their services.

    The food was really good, the wine selection was good, the service was good. The live music would have been really good if not so loud. We saw one group come in, then leave almost immediately, probably because of the noise. Tone it down, and it will be great!

    This has been & is one of my favourite restaurants for the past 15 yrs. I went with my family on New Year’s after almost a year later…blame it on the pandemic😊We ordered the house specials…scallops, pate & the soup, as share plates between three of us. The first two were disappointing but the soup was pretty good. We ordered three main courses…my daughter & I shared two of the main courses, which were, lentil based lingcod & crab/lobster bamboo rice dishes. They were ok & felt, it was not to the high standard of this establishment. However, the third main, beef tenderloin was v good. All said & done, this restaurant will remain as one of our favourites & we live in the area.

    Lovely French seafood restaurant on the water, with a beautiful view. A great menu for New Year’s Eve and we really enjoyed the good food. 2 concerns- The restaurant was full the whole evening and we appreciate it was a busy night. However, we had barely ordered and our appetizers were on the table, followed shortly by our entree. It all came way too fast when having a special, high-end dinner. Secondly, it was so dark in the restaurant that while we showed our waiter our chosen wine on the menu, our waiter brought us a red wine when we had ordered a white wine from the same winery. He insisted it was the correct bottle but it was not. He opened and poured it and we then realized it was the red, not the white. While at that point we accepted it because it was opened it was the wrong bottle. While low lightening ambiance is usually lovely, 2 couples at other tables used their I-Phone flashlights to try to read the menu. Obviously a bit of a problem! Otherwise we really enjoyed Provence Marinaside.

    Husband had steak and 1/2 lobster tail. Lobster was not as advertised, Came as the smallest lobster tail ever seen with yielding only one forkful of meat. The steak was a beautiful piece of meat done perfectly but was barley warm, must have been sitting 10+ minutes before served. I had rack of lamb which was cooked to perfection with a very tasty au jus. Vegetables were very good. Crème caramel was wonderful however the palmetto cookies were ROCK HARD, even though the waitress brought us new ones they were the same. Apparently they were baked fresh that day. Waitress was charming.
