   A welcome addition to a neighborhood which suffers from lack of options. Attractive setting, attentive service, and a proper drink served up in a proper glass. The Caesar salad is outstandingly fresh and tasty (with the tang of anchovy in the dressing). That said, my french burger was served coldish, my husband's ricotta dumplings with scallops order was served soupy and lacking in oomph, there was no espresso available for espresso martinis, and the seats wrecked havoc on my aged behind. I will definitely visit again and try other menu items - starting with the pizza. With some tweaking, this restaurant could be a true gem.

   We had the Arancini sharable and it was wonderful. We then had the Ricotta dumplings and that dish would have been helped with larger and fresher scallops. Concept is excellent. We also had the olive and sausage pizza. Wow what a fantastic flavor that presented. We enjoyed the blues music with dancing afterwards. Large and lively crowd. Great evening ...again.

   This is such a gem of a high class restaurant. Great facility. Very fresh, very present feel. Food and food choices are outstanding. Whipped ricotta and Caesar salad sharable's are the bomb. Pasta dishes were all great and the Ossobuco a beautifully prepared and presented dish. This place should be on everyone's once a month list. Not sure why it's not better promoted. Not even a sign that they're there.

   Apps to desert 10 out of 10. Live band playing next door and couldn't hear it. Great space

   Our first time at Renard’s was nothing to write home about. The food was good, not great. The “45 day dry aged New York Strip” was not impressive and when ordered to be medium, came out very rare, borderline “blue”. Overall, the experience wasn’t bad; the dining room is quaint and intimate with views into the kitchen and the service was very good. The problem for me is the value just isn’t there at all when there are steaks at other restaurants done better, bigger and less expensive. If I were to try this place again, I might go for the pizza or roasted chicken which both looked to be very nicely prepared and probably a better value for their price.

   This was our first time here, and we had a fantastic experience! Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome. The farm-to-table concept truly shines, and even the cocktails are thoughtfully crafted—delicious and well-balanced. I tried the Frost Bite, and it was absolutely lovely. If it’s still on the menu this summer, I’ll definitely be ordering it often! The food portions exceeded our expectations—we thought they might be on the smaller side, but they were perfectly generous. We highly recommend pairing a meat with the ricotta dumpling, which was incredible. We ordered it with steak, and you really can’t go wrong! The Whipped Ricotta was also delicious and a must-try. The only dish we wouldn’t get again is the Arancini Milanese—it just didn’t have much flavor. Overall, a great spot with excellent food, drinks, and service. We’ll definitely be back!

   Our server Stephanie is great. She is personable, attentive and excellent. We shared a margarita pizza and a Cesar salad and both were yummy. The pizza crust is delicious and the topping perfect. We had a great time and a delicious meal. Loved the tulips on the table. There must be hope for spring!

    There was a band playing in the annex so it was super loud in the restaurant. Not ideal.
