We had a great dinner at the Cafe Provence. The menu had wonderful choices and the food was delicious! The restaurant had a large staff so even though it was crowded, the service was quick and attentive. We will definitely return when traveling to Brandon in the future. More

We recently went there to celebrate Mother's Day and were treated to a sumptuous buffet brunch that included quiche lorraine, two types of pate - one being mousse, the other du campagne, crab and lobster stuffed sole, rib eye beef with a peppercorn sauce, risotto, eggs benedict, waffles with...

Best bet within 30-miles radius, maybe even the whole State. Try this place if you are nearby or passing through. You will be simply amazed by the menu and the tastes! Everything we have had has been great. Save room for dessert, as the chef is French and knows what's good. PS - the imported beer at $9 is not... More

The place wasn't bad, far from bad. A lot of the reviews I found though treat it like it's much more amazing then we found it to be. There isn't much else around, so yes, if you compare it relatively to other options it's pretty good. Service wasn't too friendly, and the aesthetics of the dishes seemed to be much... More

Enjoyed dinner for 2 on a Saturday night. Treated well, although the wait for our main course was over 30 minutes; very comfortable atmosphere; outstanding menu selections, but some of the dishes were disappointing. Started with the mussels appetizer, which was plentiful and tasty, but not outstanding and a caesar salad which was way over-dressed, quickly wilting the lettuce. After... More
