Cafe Renaissance — Restaurant in Vienna

I was very pleased with my first experience with Cafe Renaissance. From beginning to end.

Went to Cafe Renaissance for a birthday dinner date for my girlfriend and had no complaints. I made no reservations, so I called ahead (around 5:30 pm) to see if there was any availability. The host told me to come in as that they had plenty of open tables.

The location is in the corner of a small strip mall and can be easily overlooked. Our dinner was at 7pm, on a Monday, so we had an easy time looking for parking. The restaurant is a decent size. The walls are hand painted with European paintings and there were 3 other dates and a small party of 4 there. The host was kind and very personable (may have been the owner). We were all spaced out and had a private piece of the restaurant. The server was a kind and personable elder man from Europe and also made the experience delightful.

The bread is freshly baked. They help make the dipping, which is just olive oil and Parmesan. They have a great wine selection. We just ended up sharing a glass of white whine since we were ordering seafood. We ordered the special appetizer, which was baked oyster with crab meat. I ended up getting the baked flounder and my gf got the baked trout. The sides were the same, grilled asparagus and potatoes. They gave my gf a birthday dessert sampler which was delicious.

Overall, very good experience. Great for dates and small family dinners. A little pricey but I guess you're paying for the experience. One other small issue was I thought the restaurant was just a tad too warm, but i can't complain because I'm writing this review in the...

What a cute little place! We made a reservation and came here for Valentine's day. It is in a little shopping center so parking isn't an issue.

Four our drinks, I got a glass of red wine and my boyfriend ordered the Hemingway in Paris cocktail which was easy to drink and pretty good. I was not a fan of the Professor cocktail that he ordered as it was a little stronger and a little more bitter.

The staff is so friendly and personable and just made the experience amazing. The owner/host socialized with all the tables and was fantastic. For our appetizer, we got the Huîtres chaudes gratindées aux épinards which were the baked oysters. The oysters were a decent size and a great flavor. We also ordered the Terrine foie de Volaille et Parc. The flavor on this was great and the sauce paired well with the bread.

For dinner, I ordered the Jarrets d'agneau braisés au vin Rouge which was the Braised Lamb shank. The Lamb was SO tender but I did wish there was a sauce with it. My boyfriend ordered the Confit de canard à l'orange. That was the duck confit and it was SO good. It was tender and well cooked and the flavor was amazing.

For our desserts, I was poured some complimentary port and I ordered a creme brulee cheesecake and my boyfriend ordered the flour less chocolate cake. The Cheesecake was a standard NY cheesecake but I die like the creme brulee topping with the raspberry sauce. The chocolate cake was just a tad too rich for me but still good.

Overall definitely recommend...

Honestly, this is one of my favorite restaurants. The price is reasonable they’re very generous with their wine pores. They offer a variety of specialty cocktails that are unique and good.

This is a small restaurant and it is family owned, but it is fabulous and upscale. I’ve been coming here now for at least two or three years and I’m never disappointed. The owners are always around and making sure that customers are happy. They are very personable and the portions are reasonable. One of my favorite things is the escargot. I also enjoy the variety of side salads that they have and their lamb shank is amazing. They always have a wonderful desserts and you just can’t say no to that. Trust me. I have not tried their high tea yet, but I am looking forward to taking my daughter to go. I will say that they also accommodate my gluten sensitivities and I’m very happy about that. I feel that the service is prompt. However, they don’t overcrowd you or go too fast with the courses. They also have a very reasonable five course tasting menu that you can do with or without a wine pairing. The service is excellent, and everyone is extremely personable, friendly, and happy. They go have a versatile menu for you to choose from.

Thank you to the owners and staff for all you do. Perfect for a nice romantic date night or just to go out and enjoy...
