    Very small hole in the wall. Didn’t appear too clean with spills all over the floor.

    I met with a friend for brunch at Renaissance Harlem and must say that it was a great choice! The service was good, food was great, and the wait time was reasonable. The servers were observant of our needs. I will return again!

    This is a lovely boutique restaurant that serves French/African food. It has good vibes. We had grilled octopus, the seafood basket for appetizers, and red snapper for the main dish. The drinks were refreshing. I highly recommend this place for happy hour, date night, or just getting out for dinner.

    Amazing food and service. My party of 4 ate every single thing on our plate from brunch not a crumb left. Our servers were amazing and well attentive. My aunt raved about how well the omelet was made and seasoned. I had the chicken and jollof rice and that was probably my favorite chicken and jollof rice I’ve had so far in New York City! My new favorite local Harlem spot. I will be back again. Thank you
