    Cafe Renaissance is always an exquisite experience! We celebrated our anniversary and they treated us royally. They had a huge party and lots of happy customers descend on them at once when we visited, and they handled the tremendous stress with grace and charm! And the food is outstanding. Marvelous experience!

    Refreshing drinks followed by scrumptious appetizers. Top notch food and service. Excellent French wine. Finished off with small desserts, one a three-spoons size of chocolate mousse. Indulge yourself.

    We celebrated Father’s Day at Café Renaissance, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The special Father’s Day menu was beautifully crafted, offering a perfect blend of indulgence and elegance. The highlight of our meal was the tender filet mignon, cooked to absolute perfection, paired with Chilean sea bass that was delicate, buttery, and truly melt-in-your-mouth. The flavors were rich, harmonious, and beautifully balanced. The ambiance was warm and sophisticated, with just the right festive touch for the occasion. The staff made every guest feel valued, and their attention to detail made the whole experience feel truly special. From the carefully selected wines to the decadent desserts, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Café Renaissance, for helping us create such a memorable Father’s Day. We’ll definitely be back for more!

    Food as always was outstanding. I enjoyed a duck appetizer and surf (haddock) and turf (lamb) entree. My wife had a salmon appetizer and sea bass platter. Everything was cooked exactly right and tasted great. The wine selection by the glass was adequate, if you go for wine I recommend getting it by the bottle. They generously gave us a free dessert sampler. The service was friendly and attentive. We went on a weeknight, so the atmosphere was more subdued than on a weekend. That suited us, but if you want a little more energy I recommend a weekend evening.
