- JJenniferPhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWonderful resturant that I highly recommend! Got married on a Seaphilly boat and had our elopement dinner here to celebrate! Everyone was so kind and gave us an unexpected champagne toast to celebrate along with a yummy dessert! They were kind enough to seat my husband and I in a quiet table and our dinner was wonderful! If you go to Penns Landing this is a must for a romantic dinner that had live music that was a great background ombiance. Thank you so much to everyone at the resturant for making this a lovely memorable experience for us 💗.

- AAudreyNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was my 4th dining experience at Provenance and they exceeded my expectations again. The plates and pairings are so well thought out, and it's obvious that the staff enjoy the experience and working together. To the eye some plates initially could appear as fresh mixed vegetables and such (beautiful mind you), but then one taste and you cannot believe how delicious and flavorful every bite is. I enjoy trying to break down what flavors I'm tasting, and each bite is a different experience. It is a lot of food over the many courses, but I can never resist eating every last morsel. I leave full and happy every trip. There are many more visits in my future!More infoProvenance$$$$• French• Society Hill•4.9

The service and food were both fantastic, and our server Love (that's their real name ❤️) was absolutely essential to how perfect the evening went, and made some excellent bourbon recommendations. I cannot stress enough how great this was, thank you so much for the experience!More infoThe Twisted Tail$$$$• American• Society Hill•4.6
