    Church on a Sunday
    Brian R.

    Eclectic eats, its fun, casually divey decor, a spacious backyard with a craft cocktail back bar, comfy outdoor seating, and a place for live music and dancing make this a very chill hipster homesteader hang for the Northwood nouveau. My Banh mi burger was really good, and the rest of the menu, while limited to the smaller kitchen, also had stuff that I'd like to try. Service is excellent. The bartenders are top drawer, and just as eclectic as their often ersatz cocktails. When you arrive, you'll often see the small front bar empty. Drift through the door to the back and you'll hit Pétanque Central. Definitely a reason to drop into Northwood's growing restaurant Renaissance.

    Love the outdoor ambiance here!!

    I love the Banh Mi Burger The French accents of the owners and staff makes you feel like your in Paris With out the flight. The baguettes you can't have just one The fries and sauces. Well everything is fat free.

    I live in Old Historic Northwood so I'm partial to the businesses here, but Pentanque stands out as one of my favorites. The staff are always friendly, as well as helpful with cocktail or food suggestions. I always sit outside, in the back, because the atmosphere is casual and inviting. I've been here on nights they have trivia, as well as when they have small jazz combos. It's always a fun time! The menu isn't complicated, burgers, salads, charcuterie, kebabs...but it is ALL delicious. Of course I'll be going back, often. If you don't speak French, don't worry, they'll teach you, one word at a time.

    I learned that the name comes down a game similar to bowling / shuffle board. I'd say this is one of he coolest little places I've been to in downtown WPB. It has a huge back yard with a ton of fans. The vegetable tray was amazing and the absinthe drink is really cool!

    Great get away place if you want to unplug from Downtown WPB .. Northwood .. " Worth checking out" ... live music every night .. food is solid ... great burgers ... signature fries ... excellent service ...

It truly shows the care, passion, and quality behind this restaurant. The restaurant has a great number of staff members, and throughout the entire meal, the service was attentive and thoughtful. One small detail that really impressed me was that after I took just one sip of water, someone noticed and refilled my glass within seconds. It's these little touches that show their professionalism and dedication. Every dish was delicious, with fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. The atmosphere is elegant, clean, and comfortable, and the entire team is professional and welcoming. The food, the ambiance, and the service are all outstanding. This is definitely a place I would love to visit again.

As the night progressed, it did get busier. James was our server. He was exceptional. He provided us with purse hooks the minute we sat down at our table which I found to be a nice touch. He took my friend and I on a unique culinary journey that neither of us will ever forget! His hard work throughout the evening was beyond apparent. He was patient, kind, accommodating and comical! He helped my friend and I make decisions regarding the menu and I love when servers give raw honesty about the dishes on the menu. We started off with the Le Souffle Au Fromage which is the award winning signature dish since the year 1972 believe it or not! It was a doughy, light consistency made of Gruyère cheese, Parmesan, white truffle oil and it came with a small side garden salad. This dish is an absolute must if you're visiting La Goulue for the first time. We also ordered a cheese board which came with about 5 different cheeses, nuts, apples, purple grapes, and crunchy warm bread. We opted for version without salami. James recommended us to order a steak item that was NOT included on the normal menu. He told us it's recommended to order as medium rare. It came with string beans, grilled onions on top and potatoes au gratin. The food was so fresh and delicious!!! We ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert which was perfect as it was pretty light. When I left I didn't feel extremely full or uncomfortable. I will DEFINITELY be back soon!

We sat indoors and arrived a bit early, so it wasn't too busy at first, but the room filled in nicely as the evening went on. Beautiful space, and our server Juan was terrific -- personable, knowledgeable, attentive... clearly a seasoned pro who knows the menu inside and out. Started with a Kronenbourg 1664 from France to set the tone. My Pork Chop, served with an absolutely incredible morel mushroom sauce, was a standout -- a real "thing of beauty." Highly recommended. My guest enjoyed the Beef Carpaccio and Moules Marinière with frites -- both excellent choices. Was hoping the Crème Brûlée would complete the Parisian transformation, but while good, it didn't quite reach the level of the best versions in France. Valet parking is very close and complimentary (be sure to get your ticket validated), though navigating the one-way streets to get there can be a bit tricky. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I ordered the lobster ravioli (which I love, so I had high hopes... how do you mess that up?) and it just was not good. I only finished it because I was hungry. It was bland, and the flavor it did have wasn't enjoyable. The pasta itself was well made, but everything else fell flat. My friend was also underwhelmed (to say the least) by her lobster salad. They didn't have the wine we originally wanted, and the one recommended to us was honestly terrible... I should've sent it back. Overall, about $70 down the drain. Definitely not worth it for me, and I will not be going back.

Everything was going so well until the bill arrived - glad I actually review my bills. The bartender that informed me of the Happy Hour did not provide those $50 savings to the bill and had to explain the issue to another bartender. Took him a few minutes to revise the bill but it was fixed. If not for the hefty error on the bill, this would have easily been five stars.

We started with a Kir Royale, which was perfectly balanced, and appreciated the solid wine selection. For appetizers, we had the warm goat cheese salad, simply delicious. The goat cheese wrapped in crispy yucca was a standout and a unique, excellent combination. A quick note: the Wagyu burger comes with three sides, and the side portions are enormous, definitely enough to share. I personally prefer my burger well done, which can sometimes come across as overcooked, so that's something to keep in mind depending on your preference. For entrées, we also tried the filet mignon au poivre and the scallops with asparagus (the special of the day), both of which were well prepared and enjoyable. Overall, it's a place worth experiencing and one I would recommend.

Open, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, she guided us through the menu and wine selections with ease and confidence. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made the entire experience feel celebratory without ever being intrusive. We started with the mussels, served with outstanding crusty bread. The white wine shallot sauce was, without question, the best I've ever had--rich, balanced, and absolutely crave-worthy. For entrées, we chose the filet (perfectly cooked and full of flavor) and the scallops, which were a special that evening. The scallops were cooked to absolute perfection, paired with pasta and a sauce that was beautifully balanced--elegant, refined, and deeply satisfying. And of course, the French fries deserve their own moment: for fine dining, these fries are legendary and truly a must-order. Dessert was the crème brûlée, and once again--pure perfection. Silky custard, perfectly caramelized top, and the ideal finish to a flawless meal. The Parisian is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why classic, well-executed cuisine never goes out of style. From the hospitality to the food to the ambiance, every detail was thoughtful and polished. I'll absolutely be back--and not waiting several years next time.
