    The service at this restaurant was excellent A+ the food nothing special and way too expensive. I don’t mind paying these prices if the food is exceptional but it wasn’t. The staff though really nice..

    Such a nice and accommodating staff. The food was great and the service prompt. The only thing I would change would be for the music to be a little quieter. We found ourselves leaning over to speak to each other.

    The place was nowhere near how it presented on the website. It was also very different from another establishment owned and operated by the same individual. Wish this place has been better maintained appearance wise. The food was pretty good, although for dessert they tried to pass a scoop of whip cream off as ice cream. The server was also kind.

    Food was absolutely amazing. Had leftovers and they heated up well. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. I also had the dumplings. Both sauces were delish. I will be back.

    Great Experience, super nice! Lou was our server and he was very nice. The only thing is I had no clue tip would already be included our 180$ went to 250$ QUICK! However, the overall experience was great. The food,the music and the people was top tier. Will come back again for sure.

    I booked a reservation here, since I wanted to try something in the neighborhood. I was a bit weary of the prices for the offerings, but decided to try it out anyway. I’m not sure if this made a difference, but I went on a Saturday night, at 6pm. The food. My wife had the fish special, which she liked, but one of the sides was underwhelming. I ordered a burger, and honestly, it was pretty basic. Venue. There weren’t more than 15 people inside the restaurant, but it was incredibly loud. The music was blaring, so it was difficult to hold a conversation even though my wife was sitting across from me. Service Our waiter appeared to be a bit overzealous, as he began asking us what we wanted to drink before we were actually seated, and had a chance to remove our coats. Then, I thought it was odd that although the hostess tried to seat us at one table, the waiter insisted that we sit close to another party, just in case a larger group entered later. Needless to say, this was not a particularly pleasant experience, and there are no plans to return.

    Celebrated my 24th birthday on December 15th. We were well taken care of. The food was exquisite and I loved everything about Renaissance Harlem. My boy Valentine really made sure my bday dinner went amazing and I’m so appreciative of him and the staff for their efforts. If you’re thinking about making a reservation, don’t think twice about it. You can never go wrong with doing anything here. 🙌🏾

    Service was slow, but we were having brunch so no matter! Server was very polite and made a tremendous effort to get our order in before an extremely large group placed theirs. The reason to go back was the bronzino. We would come back and order two for our table to enjoy 😉 It was EXCELLENT!!! Delicious and beautifully prepared and presented.

    Wonderful ambience- terrific menu options, great bar service and attentive service makes a perfect date night! We shared appetizers, different varieties of sauces with mussels, and well made fries, sautéed spinach leaves & buttery breads to absorb all the flavors😊 Reasonable priced choices, with a few splurge items. It's a local place to enjoy frequently!

    My son and I had went for Thanksgiving…there was a pre-fix menu that was priced very well ($55 per person). The food was delicious. The regular menu was not offered but I’ll definitely go back to try many of their regular offerings. The cocktails were well balanced and taste great. Definitely worth the train ride.

    Sunday brunch was my first time at Renaissance Harlem. My friends and I loved it! I’m already looking forward to going back very soon and bringing my family. I’d go back just for the fabulous, original tuna tartare! The servers were super-competent and efficient, and got all our orders exactly right. We all left in a good mood! .
