    Provost is a delightful brunch experience. The pancakes were lovely and everything is fresh, freshly made and makes for a light, but filling brunch. I love the warmth, the laid-back vibe and delicious food.

    I went here for an intimate night with my man and I 100% got exactly that. Provost is a small restaurant with bar seating and booth seating. They also have intimate card games that are great for friend groups and partners that aid with learning new things about your friends and partner. I had the crab quesadillas, fries, sweet chili lollipop wings, & lemon drops. The drinks were a little on the weaker side but the food was good and the R&B music set the tone for an intimate evening. The service was 10/10. I had a great time and I would definitely return.

    Great experience, we were seated immediately. The music in the restaurant was really good. I like that the menu is diverse with meat and plant based options. The owner was there and she is very nice

    The service was outstanding…I had a very unique drink from the server and the red snapper was phenomenal. We also tried the cheesecake for dessert and I was highly impressed. I will definitely return next week with more people to introduce to this gem.

    It took us 40min to get water and 2hrs to get food. 2 servers total for the entire restaurant during Sunday brunch. One of the servers was also the bartender. Do not dine here until they can appropriately staff up.

    I booked this place last minute for Mother's Day..I didn't even know this quaint place existed. I drive past often to go to work. We were sat immediately and the sever, Don, came and greeted us explained things very well. The only thing is that the food did take a long time. I appreciated the communication about why the food was taking so long. they were overloaded with orders. When the food came out it was Soo good. My mom, daughter, and I left with our bellies full! I will come again!!
