Best lamb shank ever!
by theinsider at Citysearch
I've been to both many times (there used to be one on Clayton but check out the one in Kirkwood). The atmosphere is so friendly, we even met the owner! The food has always been great, you can choose from a three or four course pre-set menu that is offered for an amazing value. I have gone with and without reservation, but have never waited more than 20 minutes to be seated, even when it seems full. I dream with the lamb shank! but have tried many different dishes (including snails) and it never dissapoints. Everything from apetizers, salads, main courses and desserts looks carefully prepared (and I am not even getting paid for the advertisement, I promise!).
- Pros: Amazing food
- Cons: None at all

C'est super!
by lah_boo at Citysearch
Provencale is the only restaurant I would make a trip to St. Louis solely to visit. Having departed after spending the first 18 years of my life in town, I no longer have much reason to return -- but I still talk about this restaurant to all my friends! The food is always superb, and the service knowledgeable about all things French. Still the best escargot this side of le pays!! Fantastic for a date or a family dinner. Go as soon as you can.
- Pros: Romantic, Good value, Friendly
