    Chicken Breast & Leg with Chorizo (side of ratatouille)
    Josh S.

    Went to eat at the French Grill House to find that they're temporarily closed for the summer and Celona is serving their menu, in addition to their own. We ended up ordering dishes from both menus, which worked out fine. They are clearly still using the wood fired grill next door for most of the meat dishes. I was surprised how quiet it was on a Saturday evening at about 7, as we were the only ones in the place. The service was prompt and pleasant - no complaints. Although the decorating and furniture makes it feel like more of a bar and hangout, rather than a dining establishment, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend coming for dinner. The food was excellent and we enjoyed a couple appetizers/small plates and our entrees. It a bit heavy, but the focaccia with Gorgonzola is like nothing I've had before and worth getting if you like blue cheese.

    Loved it- the food, service, music and atmosphere were all exceptional. Local neighborhood feel.

    Came here to try out some Spanish cuisine as part of date night. The place was very nicely decorated with dark paint and moody. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and the specials for the day. They do both French and Spanish cuisine. The golden hour cocktail was amazing! For the food we shared tapas. While everything was freshly made we were not amazed by flavor. They were good if you are planning a night with just some appetizers and drinks. The tapas we ordered were the patatas bravas, chorizo a la sidra and the bacon wrapped dates. We were very excited to have paella and we ordered the meat paella. Unfortunately again even though it was fresh and warm, the food itself lacked flavor; which is a shame because we were dreaming about having it for a week and it lacked even salt. Hopefully it was just that one off day.

    Celona is a vibe and a half! Wow I've lived in west Palm my whole life and just stumbled across this place on Yelp. The reviews don't lie, it's fantastic. We went for my birthday dinner. We were a party of 9 and this place was perfectly accommodating. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We ordered paellas ahead of time to feed the group and what a great idea. They were delicious and fresh. The tapas were excellent as well. We tried the shrimp pil pil, focaccia bread with Gorgonzola cheese, calamari, and meat and cheese board. All were so good! Celona puts their own twist on the dishes and it hits. The cocktails were also phenomenal. They have a good and big selection that has a cocktail for everyone. You must come check them out! Good vibes all the way!

    If looking for a great cocktail bar, that serves small bites, in an intimate setting, this is it. This bar is two doors away from a French bistro, and offers a southern European flair in both food and cocktails. Eduardo was very hospitable - we will go back. BTW, this would also be a great place to meet friends before or after dinner and/or for a surprise birthday party.

    I don't normally go to Northwood except for Thai food. I read about Celona and had to give it a try. Well I'm glad I did. One of the owners was our server and it was really very good. Unfortunately it was not crowded but fortunate for us as it was very intimate feeling. My wife and I shared a couple small plates. We had the shrimp pil pil and the Tortilla de patatas. I loved them the only issue was no bread for the garlic sauce in the shrimp. My wife has a cup of gazpachos and I had the seafood paella which was small but very good. They have the largest selection of gin i have seen. We tried a few Gin cocktails which were very interesting. Great place look forward to coming back.

    We have been waiting for this new location for a while. The tapas options are good. They always know that we're want to drink & serve us immediately. And the interior decor is really cool. I highly recommend all 3 locations. You won't be disappointed.

    If you're looking for a romantic and charming bar with good food and delicious/stiff drinks come here! The bartenders are also attractive and kind so that's also a plus.

    Think it was called the aftermath. Basil honey goodness!

    Came in last night and it was dead no one there. But that's ok, cause the mixologist was amazing and the owner was great. Was nice chatting with them. Such a cute vibe and great drink. Thanks for serving us and we will be back for food next time too! We love Northwood area!! Thanks again for serving us.

    Food was spectacular. Apps, supper, and dessert. Service was on point. Ambiance is cozy. Will be back to try more items for sure

    A week night, early. Was easy seating and great service.

    A hidden gem folks! Mediterranean food that is exceptional, great decor and ambiance. I actually came for the French Grill House next door but I think it's takeout only right now. I was directed in here and could order from either menu! Both menus are exceptional but I ultimately chose Mediterranean and wasn't disappointed. The paellas are as good as when I was in Spain. The octopus carpaccio was amazing. Truly authentic cuisine. Prices are fair and I appreciated being able to choose a large or small portion of paella. There are games in the back too and the bar was very lively.

    The staff was great and the inside is cool with a pool table and foosball! The croquettes were amazing. The paella could have been cooked a little longer because the rice was still soggy. The drinks were okay.

    Charcuterie Board
    Lucy L.

    Delicious dinner. Great small plates and Paella. We started with this amazing Charcuterie board definitely one of the best. Ambience is very cozy and funky anchored by a beautiful bar area. Great service. Nice addition to the area. Finished with a delicious Churro with Dulce de leche and chocolate sauce for dipping definitely worth the calories.

I was also charged for another person's drink without being asked or informed; which was unacceptable and felt careless. The staff seemed "blind" to how to properly run a restaurant. For the prices being charged, I expected much better food, service, and attention to detail. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

We sat outside for an early brunch with perfect weather... it set the tone for a beautiful, breezy morning! Food-wise, everything was solid across the board. Nothing that completely wowed me, but definitely good and enjoyable. I was especially excited for the smashed croissant avocado toast, but it fell a little short for me. Smashing the croissant kind of takes away what makes it so good in the first place... you lose that fluffy interior and crispy exterior, and it ended up a bit tough. The oysters and side of bacon were my favorites of the table, both super yummy and I'd absolutely order those again. The truffle fries and short rib benedict were also good, just didn't stand out in a big way. And of course, mimosas... no notes there. Overall, a really lovely brunch spot if you're looking for great ambiance and a relaxing outdoor vibe. The food is good, the setting is even better, and it's definitely a place I'd come back and try something else!

We ordered drinks to start...Pinot grigio for me and Corona for the hubby. We looked over the menu a bit and started off with 3 shareables..the eggplant with honey, shisito peppers and octopus gallega...The eggplant with honey was an interesting dish (in a good way) and very tasty...they peppers were good as well but my husband wasn't a fan of the octopus gallega. For the 2nd round, we ordered another round of drinks and then the pan con tumaca, manchego croquettes and octopus in garlic sauce. I loved the toast with tomato "jam" as well as the manchego croquettes...I would re-order both of these. My husband wasn't a fan of the octopus in garlic sauce as he felt it was a bit too salty. He also ordered another dish, the seafood salpicon and this dish he really loved! For dessert we opted for the crema catalana...similar to a creme brulee...it was good...I also had a latte which was a nice accomplishment to the dessert. After dinner we headed to their Hidden Speakeasy (behind the pantro door). In there we each had another drink to end the evening. They do have a food menu in there which was different from the restaurant. It would be fun to just come with a group of friends and chill for a while. All in all, a tasty meal and a fun date night!

I agreed that sounded like an excellent idea. Patio Tapas and Beer was supposed to have a good happy hour 5pm-7pm so we went with that. Its located in a tough spot to get a parking spot in South Mizner area, but we got lucky and landed a spot right by the front door. They had just moved to this new location from nearby a few months ago. It still felt kinda new inside in a good way. There wasn't many people there when we arrived. We were able to easily get a couple spots at their nice oaken bar. There were a handful of friendly staff there that were quick with some wine and some of their happy hour Montaditos. We tried the sangria as well which they had a large container of on the bar. We tried the potatoes, duck breast, shrimp, and Jamon iberico and manchego. Everything was darn good, the iberico possibly the best. Oh, and the Spanish omelet was a nice bite as well. It was a nice happy hour; much better than going to the gym.

I think they're all pretty good but our favorites are the piquillo relleno--a small, whole stuffed red pepper with goat cheese, the classic pan con tomate, churrasco, and cordero estofado. I would say those are the most flavorful ones and on our regular rotation. They also have an almond cake we always order that is imported from Spain. Served warm and à la mode, it has a little crusty edge and a very moist, dense crumb. Not too sweet. Sometimes they serve it drizzled with chocolate and I prefer it without.

On our drive home from Miami to Jacksonville, we traded Interstate 95 for the slower, more scenic A1A. It made for beautiful views, but after crawling through one coastal town after another, lunch became a priority. A quick search landed us at Stage Kitchen & Bar on PGA Boulevard, a restaurant I later learned had earned a place in the 2025 Michelin Guide. After one meal, it was easy to understand why. We began with two appetizers that could not have been more different, duck confit egg rolls and a grilled cheese. Calling the grilled cheese "just a grilled cheese" would be unfair. Brie melted between perfectly griddled bread kissed with white truffle oil already sounds luxurious. Pair it with a bright mango jam and suddenly a childhood comfort food becomes something unexpectedly elegant. Richness met sweetness in all the right proportions. The duck confit egg rolls were equally memorable. The duck was deeply seasoned with Middle Eastern spices, giving each bite layers of warm, savory flavor. The accompanying peanut chutney added sweetness, nuttiness, and just enough contrast to keep the dish from becoming too heavy. These egg rolls packed far more personality than their modest appearance suggested. For lunch, my wife ordered the grilled black grouper sandwich. The fish, sourced fresh from local suppliers, was flaky, moist, and clean tasting. Lettuce, tomato, onion, and a malt vinegar aioli gave the sandwich brightness without overwhelming the fish. It was simple, balanced, and exactly what a fresh fish sandwich should be. I chose Stage's signature burger, two Certified Angus Beef patties topped with aged white cheddar, caramelized onions, sunflower sprouts, and their house "fancy sauce." This is the kind of burger that reminds you why burgers became America's favorite sandwich in the first place. Cooked to a juicy medium, every bite was rich without becoming heavy. The caramelized onions added sweetness, the white cheddar delivered sharpness, and the sunflower sprouts provided freshness and texture. The fancy sauce contributed just enough heat to keep everything interesting without stealing the spotlight. Dessert continued the restaurant's habit of taking familiar flavors and giving them thoughtful refinement. My sticky rice ice cream, finished with mango sauce and toasted coconut, captured everything I love about mango sticky rice while transforming it into something lighter and more playful. It was creative without feeling gimmicky. My wife ordered three macarons from local pastry maker Macaroner, S'mores, Passion Fruit, and Lime Coconut. Each shell was delicately crisp before giving way to a soft, airy center, exactly as a proper macaron should. Stage Kitchen & Bar takes familiar dishes and quietly elevates them through technique, quality ingredients, and restraint. Nothing feels overcomplicated or designed simply to impress. Every plate feels carefully considered. Sometimes trusting Google is a gamble. This time, it paid off. Great restaurants don't always announce themselves. Sometimes they're simply waiting for hungry travelers willing to take the next exit.
