    Delicious and well-prepared meals. I had wonderful salmon Wellington. We all enjoyed our meals. We shall return. Highly recommended. But come dressed up. It’s a fancy place. We once got turned away because we were dressed too casually.

    We had an exceptional dining experience on Christmas Eve. Our three main courses of cod in parchment paper, veal with mushrooms and lamb shank were all outstanding and perfectly prepared. In addition to a great wine selection, the cocktails hit the mark. And a very special finish with Irish Coffee created at the table with finesse and flair! We were personally greeted by the owner as family and will definitely return. Thank you so much for making this a special and festive occasion.

    Lovely meal for Christmas Eve! Plenty of excellent choices, and everything was delicious. Service was friendly and everything came out and was delivered perfectly. The only minor comment would be that it felt a little tight - not sure if they had more tables than usual since it was Christmas Eve, but it was definitely cozy!

    Another magical experience at Cafe Renaissance. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. The servers and service are all fantastic. The rack of lamb and salmon en croûte were delicious. Thank you again for a wonderful evening.

    We love this restaurant! It is our favorite place to go for special occasions. Saeed and Ocean never disappoint. For the quality of this restaurant, it is a great value for the price. Be sure to have the Irish Coffee! It is a show.

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there last night. We met on a blind date there fourteen years ago. We no longer live in the area but happened to be back for the holidays. So we returned to Cage Renaissance with fond memories. We were thrilled to confirm that Cafe remains the wonderfully beautiful, romantic, great food and service restaurant we remembered. Northern Virginia is very fortunate to have such a perfect place to dine.

    Environment was pleasant though crowded. Chairs and tables were not matched and silverware was not consistent. Food was good, but could have been better. Halibut was well cooked and tasty. Seafood angel hair pasta was mediocre w/o much flavor. Service was terrible. Our waiter took 30 min to provide us w/menus and wine list. After we ordered he took another 20 min to bring out our wine. Each course and interaction w/him was with lengthy delays. We had 6:30 reservation and did not leave until 9:15pm. It was not because we were lingering. I would not recommend this restaurant unless you have lots of time and patience.
