Provence en Suck?

060620croissants.gifProfessional restaurant critics tend to give new eateries a couple of weeks to settle in before they descend upon them, but some Chowhounders start criticizing freely on opening day. A post titled Provence en Suck (referring to Smith Street’s new French spot, Provence en Boite) spurred a 17-post debate last night, but as of this morning, the Chowhound police had cut down the thread significantly. The general consensus is that their croissants are good, the service is shaky, and the place could use an air conditioner, but the restaurant owners deserve some time work out the kinks. Has anyone been in yet?
