High school reunion - Provence Marinaside

I can't believe September is almost coming to an end!!

Time surely flies and, no, I am not at all ready for my journey to Cambridge!

Perhaps a little more Vancouver seafood will calm my nerve...

so there I went to the Provence Marinaside :)

I haven't heard much about this place other than its pricy price tag, so off we went!

whole crab - $41 - 5/5

I ordered a whole crab - steamed with beurre blanc sauce.

OMG.

The crab was incredibly meaty and sweet.  It tasted great with the beurre blanc sauce and although priced at $42, I do believe that it is quite reasonable for a restaurant located at yaletown harbour front.

I do believe that the condition of the crabs are seasonal tho so - be careful when you go in I guess...

Grilled Whole lobster with beurre blanc sauce - $37 -  4/5

I didn't try this personally but according to my friends who've tried it, it was plump and sweet.  The meat was firm, indicating its freshness and yea, what more can I say? it was pretty awesome!!

You can also have it steamed or sautéed (same with the crab, but crab can't be grilled)

overall we had a great time there at Provence.  Although I wouldn't recommend their antipasti so much (esp the ones from the show windows)but their seafood is definitely of high quality and if I were ever back in Van again I wouldn't hesitant to give them a try over The Keg's crab dinner!!

food - 4/5 - antipasti were not good...

Service - 4/5 - attentive server; quite knowledgable as well

Ambiance - 5/5 - date night <3 although a tad noisy, you still get the awesome view of granville island from seawall!!
