Provenance - Newport Beach

On Valentine's Day, the restaurant did not honor our reservation time, causing us to wait for half an hour before being seated. The waiter took my card to close out the bar tab but did not return for another 15 minutes. After expressing our concerns, the service and food became quick and efficient for the rest of the evening. The food was just okay, not amazing, and did not seem worth the price. The restaurant was a bit cold as all the doors were open with not enough heaters. Overall, our experience was not very enjoyable, and we would not choose to return.

First experience was Valentines day. Cold food. Undercooked. Terrible presentations. Extremely bland (3 pieces of asparagus with a poached egg and a few slices of prosciutto salad?... hard pasta dough.....hard risotto.... . Rushed the entire time. In fact, my wife and I couldn't stop laughing after every course. $280 before tip. There was an older gentleman that was nice and stopped by our table a few times, although this was not our server who was not present most of the time. Sorry but this was a COMPLETE failure, and I will not return.

Fresh and delicious food with so many different choices. Can't wait to return and try something else from their menu.

Every time we visit, we truly enjoy ourselves. Each visit brings new surprises. The tomato and beet salad was exceptional, served on a wooden cutting board. It's a must-try dish. We love the friendly and laid-back atmosphere while savoring fresh and well-presented menu items.

Provenance is consistently a great dining experience. I am gluten free and found many options that were delicious. Always a good choice for us!
