Polonza Bistro

The food is delicious, and the service is both prompt and friendly. The staff is attentive and makes guests feel well cared for, while the atmosphere is quaint, comfortable, and tastefully classy.

Food was fantastic! Maybe the best weekend brunch I've had in the Pensacola area. I had the Toad in a hole, and all I can say is wow! Was shocked at how good it was. Salad was a great touch. Wifey got the creole Benny, and the sausage was great plus it has a fried green tomatoe on it! I also have to say, the server was just really great. Super friendly, easy to talk to, very attentive, and had some great suggestions on the menu. I'm sure they are all great but ask for Becky.

Tried Polonza Bistro for the first time the other day. Was pleasantly surprised! The food was GREAT, and they had an amazing brunch bar menu! The staff was friendly, and we loved the cozy vibes. Highly recommend checking them out!

The Polenza restaurant was introduced to me by a friend and I’ve visited a couple of times now. The service is usually great and the food is good too. I usually order breakfast and I’m never disappointed with the quality of the food. If you’re looking for some good quality breakfast food- add this restaurant to your repertoire.

Let’s start with the positives, this cocktail program is on point from imagination to creation. In addition to the flavor bombs that every glass encompasses the drinks are brunchy in a thematic way. To be scathingly nitpicky on the food, there were a few minor issues. The fries needed 2 to 3 more minutes in the fryer. A loaded fry needs to be crispier than a stand alone fry as it is doused with pimento cheese and sour cream. This caused the fries to eat a touch soggy lacking the toothsome bite desired. The smoked salmon tasted amazing but from an eating perspective needed to be cut on a bias for the consumer to easily assemble. The dish presented less than generous because there was a scant amount of crostini on the plate, which presumably would be the cheapest ingredient. Again this is picking at solid dishes that just miss hitting that next level. This establishment is 100% a five for the cocktails alone, highly recommend.
