Provenance

"Interesting, well-executed dishes that are inventive and delicious without pretention. The servers are friendly and good at what they do. Nice wines are available by the glass. The dining room is small and intimate with terrific views. Absolutely the best restaurant I've visited in Cleveland."

"I actually went to the Provenance Cafe and it was really good. If I had known they had such a nice selection, I may have eaten my lunch there."

"I called ahead three times, talked to Chris and reserved three separate tables to accommodate a large party here for my daughter’s first birthday party. William was my server (I believe) and a blonde girl later on. Upon arrival I was told I would be able to do three separate checks. When time to pay I was told unfortunately they could not do that and they add gratuity. This should be discussed before the last minute. I have never felt so unwelcome and judged in a restaurant before. The workers were giving me and my family nasty looks, and said that it was expected everyone to order food and drinks. What if some of my friends and family did not want to eat? On the way out, the server let us know for “next time” they could accommodate our party in their private party room! Chris never mentioned that over the phone. We racked up quite a tab in this restaurant and felt no hospitality so we will never dine here again."

"Cafe hours are until 8pm. They stop serving anything HOT at 7pm. But they don't tell you that online. Had a room temp foccacia that tasted like a stale pizza roll. When it's 10 degrees outside, you want hot food. Bummed and was my mom's birthday outing!"

"Had brunch on Sunday morning. A small restaurant with a wonderful view of the museum grounds. The shrimp and grits were ok, but not legendary. There was a fishy taste to the shrimp that was a bit off-putting. The frittata lacked seasoning. It would have been nice if the dishes were complimented with a fruit garnish or served with breakfast breads. Overall, the experience was ok. If they close the gap between price and food quality it would make a difference. Serve fruit and/or breakfast breads with dishes. For the price I want memorable food, service, and atmosphere. Too little for too much $$. Now that I have had the experience I don't need another one."
