I finally made it to Provaré, the restaurant is stunning, service is good, drinks are amazing (although a bit pricey) and they have a cool lounge downstairs for a girls night or whatever.
But the food… I don't know, I don't think it's for me.
We started with the spinach and artichoke dip that was very very creamy. Usually it comes with crawfish and shrimp but I'm not a crawfish fan so I asked for shrimp only. I think this was good, but I wouldn't order it again if someone didn't suggest it. It was very creamy and went well with the garlic bread (that was amazing, some of the best in the city). But I felt like it was a little TOO creamy for a dip. I'm used to more cheese, less heavy cream. But it was good, I had to stop eating it before my meal because I was getting pretty full.
I got the Vodka pasta ($24) with grilled chicken ($10) and a lamb shop ($12 for one lamb chop) ($46 for the fish). And it was honestly so salty I sent it back. I couldn't believe it, I have never had food that salty in my life. The sauce was very flavorful, somewhat similar to how I would make Vodka sauce at home if I'm cooking for myself, but I could see it being very overwhelming to someone who has a tame palate. The second dish was good, still a little salty but I just let it go and decided to fix it when I got home.
My friend got the Lemon Pepper Chicken Alfredo ($30) and it tastes exactly how you would think it would. As someone who doesn't like lemon pepper, I was not a fan of the taste of the pasta at all, but my friend said she somewhat liked it. I can't speak too much on this because I'm already biased as a lemon pepper hater, but someone out there may like it.
Overall best thing on the menu is the garlic bread lol. Maybe I'll go back for the underground lounge area.
