text: AZ restaurant week kicked off last night and while there are a few established and well liked restaurants that my husband and I have yet to try we decided to take a gamble and try Province which was a little less knownnnThe decor was minimalist bright and trendy but reminiscent of other hotel restaurants I really liked the bar and loved the outdoor seating When it cools off a little more I could totally see myself enjoying the beautiful patio nnService was impeccable Water refilled constantly napkins refolded Our server was great Professional without being too formal We were checked on several times by the managernnThe amuse bouche was a very tasty and fresh gazpacho I appreciate that it was vegetarian since I often miss out with amuse bouches nnFor starters I ordered the goat cheese fondue and my husband ordered the corn chowder with crab The goat cheese fondue was good but not impressive Honestly it was something I could make in my microwave with just a few ingredients And I wish they had something different to dip into it like Crostini or something hardier Instead they had these crackerflatbread things A little too salty My husbands corn chowder was very light and tasty nnFor our entrees I ordered the goat cheese tortellini and my husband ordered a steak dish My goat cheese tortellini was HEAVENLY Delicate tortellinis with perfectly cooked vegetables in a mouthwatering broth Absolutely amazing My husband enjoyed his medium rare steak but said that one side was cooked more than the other The artichoke gratin that came with the steak was so good that I kept stealing bites nnThe dessert was a chefs tasting of desserts an apple tart a squash cupcake with maple cream and a peanut butter chocolate concoction I am not a big fan of sweets so squash cupcake and peanut butter chocolate thing was way too rich for me but my husband loved it If you are a dessert fan you will be in heaven here nnThe wine pairings were really good for being house wines nnI thought it was interesting because this woman sitting nearby that was obviously there only for restaurant week was complaining to the poor server about portion size I was sooo full after this course meal nnOur server told us that they have a happy hour that I am eager to try in their beautiful bar
