Polonza Bistro - Pensacola

I was initially worried after reading another review about the service, but there was no reason to be concerned. I had brunch at the bar, and the service was outstanding—neither intrusive nor neglectful. I ordered the stuffed French toast and substituted potatoes for the bacon, along with a Gibraltar coffee. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be returning!

The brunch was enjoyable and the peanut butter espresso martinis were outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick with reasonable prices!

I usually have a good experience at this restaurant unfortunately, this time my eggs that were supposed to be poached were hard boiled. The waiter apologized and proceeded to try to fix the situation by getting me new eggs however, after several minutes and the rest of my food being cold, they never came out. I asked for the check there was no discount offered, and the rest of my food was cold. I took what was left home with me still tipped over 20%, but most likely will not ever order poached eggs again from here.

We tried Polonza's for the first time for brunch, and we were immensely impressed by not only the quality of the staff but also by the fresh flavors of the food and drinks served. We started with the Fried Green tomatoes, which were paired nicely with fresh greens and a chipotle sauce that was to die for. We decided to try the Big Jerk Soda mimosas, mine Blueberry and his Cherry, which were spectacular. It was a nice twist to a brunch classic by using a trusted local brand of soda, and that in itself makes me trust that the restaurant looks out for other locals. As for the entrees, I decided on the bruschetta for mine, but my hubby picked the Andouille Sausage Benedict, which he polished off without any help. Everything was perfect, and we will definitely be back. Thank you for an enjoyable experience!

Absolutely average food, service, menu choices. It is really a stretch to call this a bistro. It is a glorified sandwich shop or cafe at lunch with some breakfast fare and a creatively named but average brunch menu. I had a reuben which was dry and stale. The iced tea did not disappoint. I probably wouldn't return unless I was downtown anyway and just didn't want to bother driving.
