We came in with a group of 8 around 8pm on tuesday. We were seated immediately. I have to say after looking at the menu online it didn't look like I was going to enjoy anything and it was gonna be bust for the kids. I was absolutely wrong!!! The server (I think Will?) was absolutely wonderful and was very attentive and helpful. We all ordered something different. The pasta was freshly made and was outstanding. I think everyone loved everything they had! The creamed spinach was amazing. My seared scallops were cooked to perfection and the sauce on the pasta was the perfect compliment to the dish. The shrimp & pasta my husband devoured QUICKLY & claims it's been his favorite meal so far. The Chicken Marsala was great & very flavorful. The mussels were great and the salad was the perfect portion. We shared a bottle of wine and ordered a few cocktails as well. Over all the place is great & I highly recommend it to anyone in downtown Mobile.

Caribbean Shrimp with bbq jerk sauce and coconut rice!
Gina R.

This place is under new ownership and has been open for 8 months. The employees are great, friendly, and personable! Our dishes were great! The Caribbean Shrimp dish was Hubby's who let me have a taste! The amuse bouche was flavorful, tangy but not traditional jerk spicy which traditionally has scotch bonnets in it! En-JOY- able! I had the pan-seared halibut with the smoked Gouda grits, which were savory, seasoned, and creamy! I had to tell the chef that he did that!! Baby!!! A quaint bistro with nice lighting and candles on the table...I look forward to us returning...soon!

Pictures don't do it justice!

I've been here twice already just to try the burgers, and I've been amazed both times. The burgers themselves are enough to make the visit back, but it's paired with these wonderful yuca fries. Crispy, salted to perfection and served with a jerk sauce to dip in. I'm in love with the combination and highly recommend this gem The staff is friendly and knowledgeable so you don't have to wonder! Congratulations on making me think about where I'm having lunch!

Hummus + bisque
Juliet H.

Penton's is pretty good! I stopped by after a downtown meeting (during happy hour) for a quick snack. The housemade hummus was great, the corn crab bisque was just ok. Not as thick and creamy as I like in a bisque. Also the ingredients (corn and crab) were sparse. The service was fast and friendly. My server was great and attentive. Will try again for dinner and cocktails soon. Cheers!

Penton's rabbit dinner!

Penton's Bistro is a great addition to the Mobile restaurant scene. A great blend of style and taste. The rotating menu is always loaded with lots of great seasonal options. I have been here multiple times and never left disappointed. Service is always on point and the food is great. Last trip I tried the rabbit and it was cooked to perfection. If you feel like indulging the dessert menu will crush any cravings you have!

Tuna Tartare
Tony L.

I'm going to say something that I've never said in a previous review, Michelin star. I think this is a real contender for consideration. The tuna tar-tar was fantastic, the pickles and salad atop set it apart. The yucca poutine was phenomenal, that short rib gravy was delicious. The duck à la orange was very good and the shrimp tagliatelle was phenomenal. Service was some of the best service I've experienced not only in Mobile, but around the world. Our server Will was fantastic. At one point, I dropped my napkin on the floor, unknowingly, and another server came by immediately to replace it. It has a cool and comfortable ambience. Management seems to be genuinely invested in each guests' dining experience. I will be back, and hope to try every dish on this Chef's menu.

Found a new place located in downtown Mobile, AL, so we thought we would give it a try prior to heading out on our cruise. The first impression was amazing. atmosphere and service were 5 Star for sure. We started off with the Smoked Salmon Dip and the Bistro Brussels and they were amazing and we could have stopped there, but sure glad we did not. The Potato Gnocchi Short Rib Ragu was really good, but the 14oz Ribeye cooked medium rare was the best we have ever had. Can't wait for our next trip to Mobile so we can dine at this location again.

This is a quaint, cute place that opens up to a beautiful bistro on the other side of the bar. We sat in the window and it was a good spot. Had the evening been busy, would have been a good place to people watch. A little on the pricey side for a regular dinner but nice if you want to splurge a little bit. I had the scallops and polenta and both were cooked really well. The smoked salmon dip appetizer was loaded with cream cheese and was a personal favorite of kine. For downtown mobile, this isn't a place that will disappoint!

Salmon dip and eggplant beignets-- yummy
Anne G.

The first thing you'll notice when you walk in the door is the ambiance is charming but unpretentious. The servers and bartenders are friendly, yet not overbearing. The food is beautiful, presented well and tasty. The portions are ample, which is a nice surprise.

Chicken Marsala!!!  Fabulous.
Renee L.

Wonderful dinner with my bestie!!! Great service, food, & atmosphere!!! Chicken Marsala was off the chain and the Tuna Tartare was a refreshing appetizer!! If you haven't tried this hidden gem on Conti St.... run, don't walk!!!! Thanks to our server Will, he was fabulous!!

Duck a la orange

See all
