Old World elegance, fine dining, fine wine. The four of us had a wonderful time, no sense of being rushed out to turn the table, personal attention from the owner, and a special birthday dessert. The birthday lady had a special evening, and was very happy.

Celebrates our anniversary there, great food & drinks, nice service and pleasant place.

Definitely come back again!

Very nice experience. Staff was attentive. Food was great!

Great staff. Secret of Vienna, Va. Everyone you interact with here makes feel at home and they are all more than glad go way out of the way to make your dining experience unique and special with personal attention to your wants and needs. They even will sometimes create a desert at your table, just for your table. Not on the menu as far as I know. This just happens and not every visit..... put yourself in their dining care and enjoy a relaxed meal with friends you bring and the friends there to serve you. Plan at least 2.5 hrs meal time for your experience at the Cafe Renaissance!!
You (I) will return.

Saeed and his team were amazing. Such a special night with wonderful food and amazing service. We felt like family. We can’t wait to return!

Excellent food. Romantic dining experience. Easy parking.

Solid food with a nice wine list. great service, super welcoming staff.
This place has been around under same ownership for many years. A meal at Cafe Renaissance is more like going to your local neighborhood cafe than fancy French restaurant and this was best part of the experience!

Birthday
Very accommodating

They offer a nice variety of seafood, excellently prepared, and served quite well. It's a little "spendie" but seems worth it.

As nice as it was before the pandemic. Great food and service. This is one of the real serious restaurants in Northern Virginia.

This is a wonderful restaurant. The owners are friendly and professional, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is beautiful and quiet.

Classic French brasserie style restaurant with a menu to match - it’s all about the sauce. Leans more to seafood than meat, but the filet mignon and veal scaloppine are every bit the rival. The extensive wine list is to die for. Well worth the excursion to Vienna to find this gem tucked into what looks to be a string of restaurants off the beaten path. An exquisite find that won’t disappoint.

We have enjoyed Cafe Renaissance for many years. They have a tradition of superb service and excellent cuisine, and every experience met these criteria.

Excellent food. Interior is dated. Service is good but a bit slow as the host also serves as the only waiter.

COVID protocols prevented us from visiting for the past year. Yet, for more than two decades, this has been one of our preferred dining spots. The setting is intimate, food is nicely presented, you never feel rushed, and host Sa’eed goes the extra mile to ensure you are getting your money’s worth. Our anniversary provided a great excuse to resume our patronage. We were not disappointed—nor will you be!

Excellent service and food. Quiet place and everyone was very friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

Such a fun atmosphere. Great staff, great food.

Our party of 5 all had different dishes and they were all outstanding. The food is among the best you will find in the DMV.

Fantastic food, very accommodating wait staff. The decor is gorgeous, will definitely be back.

Going to cafe renaissance is an experience! My husband and I had the best time! We celebrated our anniversary there, and they gave us a wonderful dessert to commemorate. Expect to spend a long time there, with some long waits, but if you want to take it slow and enjoy your dinner and date, this is the spot. Food, once ordered, comes out quickly and is delicious! We will definitely be going back on our next anniversary ❤️

Nice environment, relatively intimate, great food, generous wine pour, well spaced tables for COVID-19 compliance, outside dining option if you need it. We like to go there for special occasions. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of food and service.

The food at Cafe Renaissance is delicious, unsurpassed. The chateaubriand for 2 was expertly prepared, as was the salmon. The restaurant has a lovely Old World charm. Unfortunately on this visit there were large gaps in the service making for a very long evening. Hopefully not the norm.

Great ambiance and awesome service. The food was excellent.

We had the most delicious and delightful dinner here on Friday June 11 2021. The food was perfection and the sauces incredible. The service was impeccable too. We were celebrating a birthday and were given a great extra dessert course. This place is remarkable. We will be back when we are in VA. Hidden gem.

It’s a beautiful dining room with an interesting menu and great service.

Nice little hidden gem. Nice people and great food.

Excellent meal in a nice setting. Waitress gave us some desert items seemingly in honor of our anniversary.

Beautiful night for a wonderful dinner outside. We went with the tasting menu that was a huge amount of wonderfully prepared food. Apps, fish course and meat course with a trio of desserts. Already making plans to return.

Took our out of town family for our son's high school graduation celebration. The cuisine was delicious and service was efficient and welcoming. Thank you for making my son's celebration an extremely enjoyable one.

The owner was excellent. He took time to talk to each table and ensured everyone had a wonderful evening! So thankful for the entire staff they made my brother graduation a wonderful celebration! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and pleasant evening!

What a nice find. We moved to Vienna during COVID-19. Now that we are vaccinated and restaurants are reopening, we are exploring our new neighborhood. We discovered Cafe Renaissance through OpenTable. It does look like much from the outside, but inside, it is a classic French restaurant. My wife had the escargot and the short ribs, our friend had the lamb shank and I had the duck confit. All were served on fabulous dishes with vegetables. Our only regret was that we were too full for dessert or the Irish coffee. One more thing. They have an excellent wine list at reasonable prices.

Our first post-pandemic dining event to celebrate an anniversary and Cafe Renaissance was a great choice! Great food, wonderful service and just a grand overall experience.

Our recent return to Cafe Renaissance, after the covid crisis, was like coming home. Family and I have been there quite a few times, always with a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. It's old world hospitality writ large.

Wonderful good and service. A hidden gem in Vienna for a special day occasion.

Excellent service. Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Just lovely.

Food was perfect. We couldn't decide between the filet and scallops....he made us a surf and turf. Fabulous . Baked oysters for appetizer was so delicious

The food was excellent and the service outstanding. Super satisfied.

Always good food, good service. The owners are very friendly and aim to please their patrons.

Mother’s Day

Delightful traditional-type French restaurant - very nice Mother's Day price-fixe menu.
