    Do not expect a huge spacious restaurant, instead you'll find a cozy and warm two room very well decorated. Each with their own character. From the chairs. All different for each table. The silverware unique on each table and the walls full of French artwork. In the main room you'll see some delightful murals. The food is really good and the service excellent. Good variety of wines and cocktails. We went the for our wedding anniversary and since we enter they greeted us with a "happy anniversary!" Also they offered to take a picture of us. At the end they gave us a complimentary dessert. Great experience. Definitely, we'll be return. The reason for the 4 starts is that we notice food and drink stains on the walls and a couple flies by the window, easy fix right?

    Came here for afternoon tea before the holidays and it was quite lovely. The food and the tea were exquisite. The space is a little tight for a wheelchair but a walker would be fine.

    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 some good food.

    The absolute BEST food, service, hospitality, and drink list you could ask for! We have loved coming to Cafe Renaissance for years and each time it gets better and better. The owners treat you like family and provide you with the best conversation. We could not speak more highly of them! Visit for a week night dinner or a special occasion. Don’t forget to finish the night with an Irish (decaf?!) coffee, it’s a tableside show!

    My first fine dining experience here was for a birthday dinner! The experience was amazing throughout and the owner even came to our table to have some great conversations and take our orders. The service is very personalized and the waiters are very pleasant. We even got some virgin mocktails on the house for the kids! The French food tastes authentic, is so delicious, and the presentation is absolutely perfect! I especially enjoyed the filet mignon and the crème brûlée. The filet mignon was full of flavour and cooked very well. I also enjoyed the crème brûlée. It is the best I’ve ever had and it tastes great with the crispy charred and creamy texture! The latte was a pretty good nice warm drink to end such a great meal. Also, I like the atmosphere of this restaurant because it really is on par with the French design style. What an amazing place to eat at! Definitely recommend for fine dining and worth the money to eat here for something special! Merci beaucoup! J’adore le expérience!

    Our first time here. We came with friends who highly recommended Cafe Renaissance. Food lovingly prepared and fresh, excellent wine choice, atmosphere quiet, relaxing. Nice choice of music too. We tried escargot, Caesar salad, pasta with scallops and shrimp, the special: stuffed flounder with crabmeat, basically seafood for our main dishes. Desserts fresh and satisfying. We will absolutely return. We found a little gem in Vienna.

    Lovely neighborhood French restaurant! 20 years in NoVA and happy to discover this place in our backyard. Had traditional turkey sampling (prix fixe) escargot, crab stuffed sole, lobster ravioli, braised lamb shank, cappuccinos, and more. Not cheap but reasonable for a 3 course prix fixe meal for 5 on a holiday. We will be back.

    Today, I stepped into Cafe Renaissance for the first time and was immediately impressed with the beauty of the interior. From the paintings to the fresh peonies, hydrangeas, and tulips, everything was lovely. From the first impression to the moment we left, everything was superb. My friends and I came for afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday, and we enjoyed the food, tea, cocktails and the service. Henry, our waiter, was attentive and charming as was the owner. This group loves tearooms and we are always on a quest for new ones. Cafe Renaissance is now rating at the top of the list.
