Entre Nous Bistro

We were recently introduced to this restaurant by friends. I had noticed prior to visiting this restaurant that they were in the high end priced for their entrees, so we expected an interesting dining experience. We did not order any cocktails and we went straight to ordering appetizers and dinner. I had ordered the sword fish which was presented wonderfully and tasted excellent. Others in our party ordered shrimp dishes and a meat dish. I have taken pictures of our entrees mostly for my own memory.

This place never fails to meet every one of my expectations! clams and linguine tasted of clams, what a concept right! my. dish this visit was the filet with aspargus and sorry. chef I substitued mashers for fries. The filet was perfect from the medium rare preperation to the size.
The entrees are pricey but you will go home with a nice lunch from your leftovers. Staff is wonderful.

Second time we have been here. Good food and great service. Worth the drive from Jupiter. Well done!

I have to state at the outset that this is a review of the alleged «service» here, not the food – because weren’t able to eat so much as a crumb at this restaurant – though through no fault of our own. It’s only open for FOUR HOURS A NIGHT: (5−9PM) Sun.-Thurs. & until 10PM Fri. & Sat.
We arrived at 8:35PM on a Thursday night, and the Greeter/​Seater was standing just outside the front door, holding it wide open while clearly engaged in a personal conversation with someone who was not a patron – and paying NO attention to us. She continued her conversation while we stood there waiting for her.
After making us wait for her chat to end – at least 3 – 4 minutes – she seated us at a table in the near-​empty restaurant (only two of the tables had guests seated at them. Everyone else was at the bar.) The assigned table was a smallish two-​seater, cramped with candle-​holder, sugar-​packet dispenser, a large salt/​pepper set, and covered with a poorly washed tablecloth that CLEARLY had food ingrained and washed/​dried into it in two or three spots. A number of other adjacent, empty tables that would have been more comfortable (because they were set for four persons) were not offered to us – even though their doors-​open hours were ending in nearly 20 minutes. Many of the previously occupied tables throughout the dining area were covered in used dishes and the leftovers of finished meals, where the diners had paid and left – that was a surprise, since busing tables is one thing that most restaurants do in a timely fashion.
The waiter sauntered over – bringing the menus that the Greeter should have provided to us – after we were seated at the dirty, crowded-​with-​stuff table (that even had no room to put the menu down on) after we sat there scanning the room for about 5 minutes and then asked us about our drink-​order preferences. We didn’t order alcohol, and he then went to ostensibly get our beverages. He returned empty-​handed in a few minutes to inform us – gruffly – the «kitchen is closing in 10 minutes.» In other words – you’d better order something REALLY fast if you want to eat.
It’s BEYOND outrageous and rude to treat diners that way: If your doors are open, you take your sweet time to seat people without ANY sense of urgency, you then offer them pre-​dinner drinks – yet seem annoyed that they’re NOT ordering any alcohol – and you then get annoyed & gruff, rushing them to order for YOUR convenience with threats to close the kitchen? That betrays an attitude that should NOT EVER be indulged or tolerated when you’re spending a not insignificant amount of money in THEIR establishment.
What you do is to feed them – CHEERFULLY AND WARMLY – even if the front doors DO close to NEW diners at a set time. Patrons that you bring to a table and hand a menu to should NOT be pressured to order food without a chance to even look at the menu, especially when you’re only open for a ridiculously short four-​hour day! It was rude and unforgivable.
We handed back the menus to the rude uncouth waiter in the dirty shirt, who smelled like a locker room, and left. Needless to say, we won’t be back. We refuse to patronize any restaurant that treats its patrons as if they are a burden on your leisurely day, and that the patron is annoying you because your doors are soon closing on your so-​terribly-​long day. At that point I wouldn’t care if the doors closed PERMANENTLY. We don’t believe in paying to be treated rudely – especially when there are other local restaurants of excellent caliber which would be all to happy to have us dine there. We went to one of those, and enjoyed a wonderful meal – even though we had wasted a half-​hour in getting there due to the time wasted in THIS location.
The restaurant that we chose was one that we’ve visited often before – although we’re hardly recognizable regulars – and even though we arrived nearer to THEIR closing time now that we’d wasted ½ hour of our time at Entre Nous, they were welcoming and cordial. When we asked if we were too close to closing time to be served, they responded that the kitchen «will be happy to prepare anything that we’d like,» and said that once seated we could stay as long as we’d care to – that the closing time was only a cut-​off for admitting NEW diners: everyone seated is a «welcome guest,» and «not asked to punch a clock to accommodate the restaurant,» but appreciated for their patronage.
We should have gone there FIRST! That mistake is one we will not repeat. What’s «Entre Nous,» is that this restaurant is run by terribly inhospitable people and they don’t deserve your hard-​earned money any more than they deserved having us spend ours there on December 30, 2016 – which happened to be our anniversary (my giving my wife her gift when she got home from work was the reason that we didn’t head out to eat until 8:30 – to THIS restaurant that is literally 700 feet from our front door.) Sign us «disappointed, but newly informed» about these disorganized, rude, lazy culinary prima-​donnas.

This is a restaurant that is so consistently superior in its food preparation, table-​side service, and great presentation that, upon finishing your meal and exiting the premises, your immediate thought is: «This is too good to be true. Everyone who appreciates a superb meal, deserves to be seated and served a surprise of a lifetime».

Wow, after reading all the raves, hate to chime in. Think PB Post has to update their review, and add another dollar sign to pricing. Met friends there who have gone many times, and they were surprised by the pricing, too. Not many places offer escargot, and I prefer the traditional version, not their bland offering. The small shrimp cocktail was three small shrimp. Redecorated since we were there years ago. More upscale and noisy, like all the other local restaurants. A good variety of food, and good service

Overpriced for average food. Very loud, slow service, dirty glasses. How anyone can rate this place higher is not possible.

Don’t let the plaza location fool you — this is a true gem! I’ve eaten at plenty of esteemed, high end restaurants, and Entre Nous is in my top 5! Impeccable service, ambience, and the food — don’t even get me started! Our party of four started off with the tuna tartare and margarita flatbread. The flatbread was burnt, and it also had too much cheese. But, we also ordered mussels, le steak au poivre, filet mignon, and sesame-​crusted tuna, which were all awesome! Everyone raved about the thoughtful little details and effort in presentation for the dishes. Everything was phenomenal! To end our gluttonous halloween evening, we shared a flourless chocolate cake with kahlua gelato. It was to die for! Complements to the chef! We will definitely be back!

Great meal and service. Everything I tried was excellent and reasonably priced. Will be back.

Great meal and great service. Atmosphere good but be prepared for loud. This will definitely be on the regular rotation.

My favorite local Italian restaurant. The food is fab. Try the Truffle sachets. To die for. Also the crab cake and the tuna stack! Chicken Parmesan is wow.

This is a favorite of mine when were celebrating or even when we’re not. We have tried almost everything on the menu at least twice. My favorite appetizer has to be the escargot, I love when something as traditional as escargot is revamped and done so beautifully!
We almost always sit at the bar and are treated like VIP’s, Russell service and attention to detail are spot on! If you decide to have dessert you absolutely must try the Pecan Pie, be sure to ask them for Cinnamon Ice Cream instead of the vanilla ice cream, it takes the pie to a whole new level of YUM!

Another masterpiece by the Master Chef at Entre Nous. Tonight we hosted a 15^th Wedding Anniversary dinner. It was for a vice-​president of a nationally-​recognized medical corporation and his wife (by sheer coincidence they happen to be son and daughter-​law). The dinner at this Lake Park, Fl. landmark restaurant was their first visit. My wife and I told them beforehand about the quality of the menu, the superlative food preparation and presentation, and the consistently excellent service. They were amazed by the fact that the experience exceeded the richly deserved praises we had heaped on the totality of the Entre Nous marvel. Every adult living or visiting in South Florida, who appreciates a 5 star dining experience, owes it to him or herself to pick up the phone now. This is a memorable gustatory adventure that evokes a craving for countless repeat visits.

We ordered take out from here and overall were impressed. For appetizers we had the shrimp cocktail — pretty standard; the truffle sachettes — yummy; and three salads. The entre nous salad, park ave salad and portobello salad were all tasty. Bonus points for a delicious dressing on the portobello salad. One complaint here: we specified that one of us had a severe nut allergy so no walnuts on the salad, but when we opened up the portobello salad there were indeed walnuts!
For entrees we ordered the filet mignon — was cooked very nicely; the chicken parm — huge and really nice; and the salmon — it was overcooked (we ordered it medium but was more like well done) and was smallish portion cut into three pieces which we thought was odd.
Overall food was nice and we would like to try sit down one day too.

It had been too long. And to be perfectly honest with you I am not sure why. When we lived right off US1 it was an easy jaunt straight down to North Palm Beach and there we were. I have always found the food to be excellent, the service as well. It had been too long. So when dear friends invited us to join them for a celebration of their 10 year anniversary it was an evening we were looking forward to. Not only were we thankful for being asked to join in the celebration but we got to return to Entre Nous Bistro. It had indeed been too long.
It had been so long I am sure there was a remodeling done as the space is fresh, upscale and decadent, a sign of things to come. Our server for the evening was Anthony, who was a pleasure and took excellent care of a us. Fresh warm bread was on the table with a fragrant olive oil and cheese mixture waiting for you to mix your own version. The wine options were numerous, prices fair and bottles were served. We were a table of eight and a number of appetizers were ordered; Oysters Rockefeller, raw oysters, escargot and a wild mushroom flat bread.
Not a oyster fan I almost wished I was as the raves for the Rockefeller were loud from every corner of the table. The best I ever had from one side and then from the other. The escargot I do love and Entre Nous’s version is different that I have come to expect. Served on a toasted baguette, mushrooms a crispy spinach concoction drizzled with a very tasty Pernod based basil sauce. Delicious! The bianco flatbread was equally delicious with three different cheeses, garlic, crimini mushrooms drizzled with a truffle oil.
Our hosts had a big surprise as they decanted a special wind that was a gift on their wedding day back in the day. Toasts were made, wine was sipped and I was still wondering what would be put in front of me when the entrees arrived. My wife was rooting for the tuna and as my plate arrived she smiled as it was the most heart smart of the three options I had thrown out to Anthony. If I am a sucker for Caesars then I am an even bigger sucker for tuna; the fresh out of the sea variety, lightly seared and the Entre Nous presentation was Pavlovian indeed. Fresh grilled vegetables, jasmine rice with crispy wontons and a soy drizzle. This is not your everyday tuna, it is amazing tuna, world class tuna and I will say very fairly priced.
Earlier in the evening we were enjoying cocktails with our friends before heading to Entre Nous. Chris asked if anyone liked pecan pie and that was a very simple answer from me; something like do sharks swim in the ocean. If you haven’t heard of Priester Pecans then look them up and you will know pecans and Priester’s are synonymous. Bake mine into a pie with a light flaky crust, a healthy toast of bourbon then pile on a extra rich scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have a winner. Drizzle it with the caramel sauce that Entre Nous does and you have a home run, off the chart, amazing desert. More than enough to share so do not tackle this one alone.
Our evening is the one everyone enjoys and hopes to enjoy every once in a while. Great friends, a celebration of happiness, some world class wine and a restaurant that did not disappoint in any way. We were blessed to be included and can tell you there will not be a long lapse before our next visit as Entre Nous was excellent in every single way. Five stars, fins ups all the way. If you haven’t been… go. I you have been… go again. But you better make a reservation as it’s that good. Really!
