We went during “Restaurant Week”, so this place may be better than when it is not.

We love Cafe Renaissance. We went there for my husbands birthday. The food was delicious - escargot, French onion soup, rockfish and tenderloin all cook to perfect temperatures. The dessert was lovely. My husband had an Irish coffee which comes with a delightful display from the host. Great service and love the ambience.

Old fashioned ambience and dining experience catered more to the over 65-70 crowd. Food was not great and similar dishes (salmon and halibut) were prepared the same way. For the price we expected a lot better and some diversity in plate presentation. Service was not great either—wine tasting was done sloppily and without care if we liked the wine or not, our waitress almost knocked over a glass of wine refilling water, and one of our wine glasses was taken before we were done. Overall, the cost was high end but the experience was not.

Wine tasting applies when there are more than 1 wine selection. You had visited on a Saturday that was a day after Valentin’s Day and a super busy time. I can say that your expectations are higher than customers that spend close to 500 Dollar for a party of two.

Cafe Renaissance was incredible, even on Valentine’s Day. The service was excellent, with friendly staff always smiling, live music playing, and meals that were deliciously flavorful.
