Reviews for Cafe Renaissance in Brooklyn, NY
Large kosher dairy restaurant. There is plenty of seating though it can fill up so you may want to call ahead to RSVP. We were... seated real quickly when we came and given tablets with the menus. The tablets had nice clear pictures of each menu item. Afterordering the food came pretty quickly. The wait staff was quick and courteous. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. Woulddefinitely come back when we're in the area again in the future. Read more
Wow I have so much to say about this place! 1. The food is exceptional. Taste, temperature, presentation, quality ingredients,... portion size. I enjoyed every bite and even got to take home leftovers! 2. The customer service. The waiters were just perfect.Smiles, attentiveness, quick. 3. We were also greeted by the owners who were present the whole time. The place was packed andthey were available if necessary. For me the prices here are a bit high but for the quality and excellence overall they arevery reasonable! I wish I could afford to come back every week! Read more
Love love love this restaurant!!! One of my favorite dairy restaurants in Brooklyn. The food is ALWAYS amazing. I never had a... complaint with my food. I usually order out but recently I went to the actual restaurant for an occasion. As usual, the food wasdelicious. The one complaint I had was the problem with a waiter. I was out with a friend and he was being really rude andmaking us feel very uncomfortable. I have been there in the past and have never had this problem. I hope this issue is resolvedas it made the whole outing awkward and uncomfortable. Read more
Went to take a friend out. It was not only crowded, but we were seated by the door next to high traffic party and dessert... station. We decided not say anything since they were busy with a party next door. The food was beyond. Tacos were greasy. Theybasically sauteed veggies and dumped it onto a soft shell that was cold and too big for the contents. There was havoc ruling inthis place. Random people walking in and hanging out with waiters and people at the door. Seemed like food was haphazardlythrown together. Old smelly teabags from 1980s. Waiters were hunching over us to retrieve dessert and talking to customers.What a disaster. Could not take more pics. The food went to garbage and we just could not eat. Waste of money and time.

We arrived at Cafe Renaissance with a very large hungry party. It was very modern that the restaurant offered menu on tablets,... however with a table of 9, more than 4 menus are needed. Fights nearly broke out as the hungry crowd fought after the menutablets. Service was mediocre, at best- we were consistently waiting on our waiter or trying to flag one down.We didn't have oneoccurance where a waiter came on their own volition (admittedly it was very busy night, but there excuse for a large party tonot receive any service without prompting). We were fine with pouring water on your own, but it's not someting we're accustomedto doing in a nicerrestaurant. However, the food made up for all aforementioned faults. Mozarella basket is a must-getappetizer. I will stop there, just order it and you'll agree. 10/10 The Margherita pizza was truly delicious- tasty with aperfect amount of crunch to the dough 9/10. The baby spinach salad, which my wife has ordered at countless restaurants, was thebest she has ever had it. Rich with toppings and full or flavor. 9/10. Cappaleni Primavera pasta .was light but tasty, some moreflavor wouldn't hurt it though. 7/10. Our table got nearly all of the fishe entrées, and all were top notch. I'd recommendevery single one of them. 9/10. Overall, this restaurant is a staple in the neighborhood for a reason - consistent quality thatovershadows the passable service. 8/10 overall. Read more
Pros: Very prompt service and good atmosphere. Cons: My waiter was rude and impatient with explaining the food to me. The food... was not the greatest and did not justify the cost (the appetizer focaccia bread was stale, the cheese on my pizza was well overcooked, and the potato of the day did not look like what was on the menu).

The service was great, they were patient and they answered all our questions, the wait staff was responsive and quick, all with... a smile. The ambiance was so nice and the food was very tasty. We ordered so many appetizers and each was was terrific. The maindishes were well prepared and cooked the way they were asked. We left feeling full and glad that we chose to dine at caferenaissance.
