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 ...

The cocktails were amazing (the one with Desert pear and compari - i dont remember the name - was exceptional). We got the grilled carrots appetizer and clams. Those. Carrots. Perfectly charred, incredibly delish. The clams more than made up for the subpar mussels I had elsewhere the night before, too. My husband got the BBQ pizza and was very happy - both for dinner, and for the next day's lunch. I got the chicken parm, and also had plenty for a large lunch the next day. (and the green beans that came with were also JUST the way i like them - not overcooked, garlicy, and delish). Zero complaints. We won't be able to navigate a second visit this trip, but would 100% put it on our to-dos the next time.

Even though it was a hot day, we chose to sit outside at one of the shaded high-top tables. We enjoyed a couple of cold beers while taking advantage of their excellent $20 prix fixe lunch special, which was an incredible value. The meal included a starter salad, your choice of entrée, and dessert. We ordered the cheeseburger and the hot chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and straight from the kitchen. The portions were generous we were so full that we couldn't even eat our desserts, so we happily took them home to enjoy later. If you're looking for a tasty, reasonably priced lunch in downtown West Palm Beach, Batch is definitely worth a visit. Great food, great value, and a relaxed atmosphere. We're already looking forward to coming back to check out their brunch!

Soooooo, how do you turn a failure into a winner???!!! My…read morewife and I went for dinner this past November. We were headed to the Kravitz so time was a premium. I made an early reservation and was seated immediately upon entering. Since we've been here many times,we knew what to expect. I ordered the NY strip, which was perfect, my wife ordered a simple burger...uh oh..... It came out pretty rare, almost raw. She ordered medium, which is pretty standard for restaurant burgers. She couldn't eat this, so we called the waitress,who was a doll, very apologetic but generally warm and professional. Well the burger came back disguised as a hockey puck. Again the waitress came right over and again apologized, my wife was fed up and didn't want another burger and really didn't want anything at this point. Although we didn't ask for a manager, she showed up with out being asked for. She immediately apologized and pleaded with my wife to order something, so my wife ordered a salad, which probtly came. Next, 2 desserts and coffee. Finally the manager comes over, hands my wife her business card an tells us, please give us another try and have dinner on me! Lastly, I ask for the check and was told, it was all comped! Not expected as my meal was great and I also had two cocktails. None the less, I tipped approximately based on the cost of our meals. Last week we stopped in as we were driving home from Port St Lucie and found to spots at the bar. My wife ordered a filet mignon, which she declared was one of the best she's had, I had the double cut pork chop. Both meals came out together, hot and nicely plated. We only asked for the manager our meal and only to thank her. We also complimented her staff and raved about the meal. Again, my drinks were comped which I don't know why but, hey someone buys you a drink, don't complain. Anyway a generous tip and two happy campers. And that's how you manage a restaurant and lead your staff. I apologize for any typos because of my large, masculine fingers

I'm genuinely puzzled by this restaurant's high rating--my experience was, quite frankly, abysmal…read more The space itself felt neglected: a musty odor lingered in the air, and the temperature was uncomfortably warm--borderline unbearable--making it difficult to relax from the moment we sat down. I decided to give this place a second chance on April 18, 2026, with an 8:30 PM reservation, and unfortunately, it was just as bad--if not worse--than my first visit. The service was exceptionally poor. Our waiter, Michael, set the tone early, and not in a good way. It took over an hour just to receive our appetizers, and drink refills required tracking down other staff members. What stood out most was the complete lack of attentiveness--Michael never once checked in on our table throughout the evening. The delay was so excessive that I was able to leave the restaurant, walk across the street, purchase a new set of clothes for my daughter, return, and have her change--all before our main course even arrived. To be clear, this wasn't out of convenience--it was out of necessity. The restaurant was so excessively hot that she was visibly uncomfortable and overheating. To make matters worse, water was served at room temperature in what felt like a furnace of a dining room. We actually had to ask multiple times--and essentially beg--just to get ice brought to the table. That alone speaks volumes about the level of awareness and care. Dining out is supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable experience--especially after an evening out--but this was anything but. The food itself was underwhelming at best: mediocre, forgettable, and certainly not worth the wait. What was most disappointing, however, was the apparent inconsistency in service. From my observation, certain tables--specifically white families--received noticeably more attention and care, while others, including Hispanic, Asian, and African-American patrons, were largely overlooked. As part of an interracial family, this was both disheartening and unacceptable to witness. I've had great experiences at other locations of this restaurant, which makes this visit even more frustrating. This location, however, falls far below standard. To the management and staff: you're in a high-traffic area where guests come to unwind and enjoy their time. This experience did the exact opposite. One star--and that's only because it was possible to secure a reservation. Now I understand why availability wasn't an issue. TL;DR: Excessive heat, inattentive service, long wait times, mediocre food, and a deeply disappointing overall experience. I will not be returning.

Absolutely delicious, the pretzel was very light and the bear cheese had so much flavor to it. Three of us got burgers that were absolutely mouthwatering you bite into it and you went. oh yes, one bite burger!! This is the place to go. My girlfriend got a grilled chicken sandwich. It was absolutely delicious and the chicken she said was seasoned perfectly. Just sitting there, looking all around, brought us back to our childhood the antiques on the ceiling on the wall on the table every direction was so much fun. If I could give this place 10 stars are 100 stars I would do it. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you, Sarah we will ask for you when we go back. you were fabulous. See you all soon XOXO Andrea.
