“ Such a unique place. Beautiful outside setting. The service was fantastic. Great recommendations and everything we ordered we really enjoyed. The grilled bread with the Gorgonzola cheese was one of the best things we ever ate. We thoroughly enjoyed the lamb and the pork and the French fries with the garlic - aioli are a must!! We will definitely be back check it out. ”
“ Romantic patio with lights and bistro tables with a unique vibe in Northwood Village. Spectacular French food with a wonderful selection of meat entrees to include everything from Duck to Steak. We will return soon! ”
“ Their sprats appetizer was so lovely and my favorite part of this meal. I got the steak of the day as my entree which was flank steak with the grilled Caesar salad. The steak was great, but felt the salad had too much dressing on it. Overall, not bad at all, French Grill House. The decor inside was also beautiful ”
“ Awesome restaurant. Very pleasant and informative waiter/bartender. This place is a quiet gem of the West Palm area. I asked for the recipe for the salmon because it was so good. We sat at the Celona because of the heat and had the option for both menus. We will definitely come back another time when in the area. ”
“ French Grill House is a hidden gem. Great food. Real cocktails. Amazing staff!! Every time my girlfriend and I come here it is a great time. Definitely worth trying. When friends/family visit in West Palm Beach we make sure that they get to experience it. It's not like any other place in the area. Casual vibe, where locals come. ”
“ I have been wanting to try this restaurant on recommendations from others and it did not disappoint. It is located on a sleepy street that West Palm is trying to revitalize but the street just doesn't get the traffic. Once inside, you feel like you are transported to more of funky bohemian place and time. The decor and lighting are perfect. We started with the pate and tapenade. My dining companions each had the duck and I had the hangar steak. We each had the potato which is served hassleback style. I hear their desserts are amazing but I am trying to cut back on too many sweets so we opted out. You can tell the owners truly care and are invested in their craft. ”
“ This is a little gem tucked away in Northwood. We arrived just after they'd open for the evening, so we were greeted and seated promptly. The seating in the restaurant is primarily al fresco and the patio area is cover in astro-turf, potted plants, and other decorations. Both one of the owners and the server were extremely friendly and helpful in explaining their cooking style, the various dishes, and what to expect in terms of wait times. We opted for a grilled mozzarella and tomato stack-style appetizer to start, followed by grilled fish entrees. All the food we ordered was cooked over the wood fired grill, which imparted a pleasant and smoky taste to the dishes. The fish was cooked perfectly and well-complimented by their house sauces. We really enjoyed our meal and are looking forward to dining here again soon. I highly recommend trying the French Grill House. ”
“ In a word, fantastic. Great service and delicious food. Who could ask for anything more? I didn't know anything about the history of the chef/restaurant team before we came, so we weren't here for the cachet. I'd read a short review and the dishes sounded intriguing. We called and left a message on the answering machine (they're only open for dinner) regarding a reservation and headed over. The restaurant is located in the historic northwood section. We were early so easily parked the car on the street nearby. Inside, it is small with a limited number of tables. Outside, they have a large charming garden patio area with a counter/bar and tables. We opted to sit inside as there was only one other couple dining there -- and it was a very hot day. We had excellent service -- professional, but personable. And the menu had quite a few choices among which to decide. We started by sharing the grilled avocado appetizer. Perfect that it was two small grilled haas avocado halves filled with chick peas with a tomato "relish" sauce. This was a good starter for us -- creamy avocado with a slight grill taste. For our entree, I chose their whole grilled branzino. Market price was $30 that evening. And for my side (you get a choice of one included), I added grilled asparagus. The whole fish was just the right size and delicious. It was a perfect combo of charred flavor on the outside and tender fish inside. I've eaten whole fish many times, so no problem navigating. All that was left in the end was the skeleton (bones)! You also get a choice of a sauce/butter and I selected the Moroccan one. I also really liked the grilled asparagus which I had not been sure would be good grilled, but was proved wrong. My husband got their "steak of the day" -- which was flank steak when we went. Oh my, it was very good. He had a hasselback potato for his side -- the potato is sliced almost all the way through -- and topped with butter and scallions. He actually had a portion of each to take home (for his breakfast with eggs the next day). Can't wait to come back -- have my eye on their grilled Caesar salad and maybe one of their steaks? The ribeye? So happy we decided to try them. I think we've found our new favorite in this area. ”
