Reviews for The Provincial in Apex, NC
Would have loved to get a chance to try the food here but we were unable to ever be seated and their treatment of guests left us... not wanting to ever go back. We arrived at 6:30 last Friday and requested an outside seat. The hostess said no problem, itwould be about an hour and took our name and number. We walked around downtown Apex for a while and grabbed a bench to sit andwait. Finally around 7:45 we went back to check on our spot in line. The hostess said that we would be unable to be seatedbefore close outside because the outside guests were taking too long and that they had meant to call us but forgot to. We wereflabbergasted by this type of treatment. We understand places being too busy to get at table at, that happens all the time. Butyou can't agree to seat people and have them wait around over an hour and never give them an indication that they won't beseated. If you're too full that's fine, let us know upfront and we'll search for another place and try your restaurant later. But now we are left with a sour disposition about The Provincial solely on how we were treated in being "forgotten to notifythat we'd never be seated". That's just unacceptable. Read more
Although this wasn't our intended destination we did a quick walk here and it was fantastic. Pricey, but fantastic. Salmon... cooked exactly to order which is infrequent in our experience. Sharing a small plate and a large plate is quite ample for twoadults if you're not famished. Drinks are great. Draft beer taps are selected so don't expect a large selection. Read more
This is my second time dining at The Provincial, both times with a large group of friends and both times very impressed. The... menu is always changing from day to day so best to check online if you?re looking for a specific dish. Our group had a greatserver she was attentive without being intrusive. I really liked the array of appetizers all made fresh and tasty. The drinkswere well balanced and delicious. My main dish was the hanger steak with whipped potatoes and roasted carrots. All cooked toperfection and seasoned expertly. I can?t wait for my third visit. Read more
Always a wonderful meal in the charming neighborhood of Downtown Apex. While the menu has a simple, limited selection and... doesn't change much, it is always wonderfully executed using top notch locally sourced ingredients! Perfect for a date night. Read more
We simply love this place. The menu changes regularly but the quality of food remains high. The staff is super friendly and... their cocktails and desserts are amazing. It's also very family friendly. Read more
I wish we had discovered this gem earlier! We dined outside. They have about 8 outdoor tables, maybe more. Everything was... delicious, but we found the lamb chops and the carrot cake to be particular standouts. They made their own caramel for thecarrot cake garnish--the waitress told me they even make their own ice cream. Menu changes daily, so you have to check Facebookor Instagram for up-to-date selections. Service was friendly. We were able to dine without reservations, but I would call tomake sure there is a table before going. There is a public parking lot behind the plaza where the restaurant is located, bit itwas full by 7pm on a Wednesday when we left the restaurant. We look forward to returning! Read more
Everything is great- atmosphere and service. The food was decent but missing a few kick flavors. The lamb was nicely done, but I... wished the sauce would be more heavy to bring out the meat flavor. The yogurt sauce is good but just wasn?t the best fit withthe lamb. Dessert I had the limoncello cake, it was okay as it was a bit plain and lack of character. The cocktails were verycreative and it?s New York level. Would come here again as this is a farm to table restaurant and the menu changes daily. Read more
Absolutely the best of the region if you enjoy fresh menus that change weekly. Every appetizer, and dish is carefully crafted... with care and come out delicious. Wine list is decent and the prices are beyond far. They treat our 5 year old daughter withrespect and her usual, the white sauce and noodles is a winner. Lexi is our go to for server - always attentive. Read more
