    Excellent choice for a fine dining experience or special occasion such as anniversary or birthday. The service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were appropriate. Would highly recommend.

    I will continue to drive from NW DC to Cafe Renaissance to enjoy the amazing hospitality and phenomenal cuisine. The owner, chef and waiter Henry make us feel like family. Wine list will compliment any budget. Handcrafted martinis kicked off amazing dining experience.

    The restaurant was so beautiful and the ambience was so serene. The staff were amazing, funny, and super respectful. We went for my friend's birthday and they were so sweet and remembered from the reservation. It wasn't very busy so they were extra attentive and the food came out quick and tasty. I would highly recommend coming here for a nice beautiful dinner.

    We chose Cafe Renaissance to celebrate a birthday. It was an outstanding experience. This is a restaurant that caters to you and everyone at your table. All aspects of our menu were delicious. Appetizers included mushroom soup, fresh oysters, oysters Rockefeller, and smoked salmon garnished with caviar. Most all of us had one of their specials, Salmon cooked in parchment with shrimp and vegetables. The addition of a pear on your plate was awesome. Dessert how about flaming cherries jubilee for the table. I cannot rave about this enough.
