    The walnut & apple salad and pesto ravioli (primarily the pesto) were delicious. My party was unfortunately left unimpressed by the spinach dip calzone, meat lasagna, and vegan calzone (although this last can be partially attributed to a non vegan trying vegan cheese for the first time). The patio has been eled out of the bare concrete sidewalk in front of the restaurant directly in front of the parking lot and leaves much to be desired in terms of ambience.

    My wife and I eat primarily (but not exclusively) vegan, and finding restaurants with accommodating menus and policies can sometimes be a challenge. I'm here to say that, vegan or carnivore, the fare at Renee's is simply outstanding. We travel all over the US and have dined at top restaurants such as Eleven Madison Park—where dinner for two will set you back about 20 times more than at Renee's—and we're nit-picky, but there were no nits to pick at Renee's. The pesto pizza we had was to die for. The crust on that pizza was probably the best we've ever had (sorry, Chicago!). Wow. The Penne Arrabbiata was also excellent. Service was efficient and friendly. Please open a Renee's in Santa Barbara! Please?

    Our go-to spot for special date nights. Started the night off right with garlic knots and the garlic feta sauce. Then we split a mushroom and sausage calezone, and a bowl of sausage fettuccine alfredo. Both were amazing!! We dined on the patio with the heaters and it was perfect. Bummed there were no soda choices on the menu currently. Hopefully they'll add it back in time for our next visit. Plenty of other drink choices. By far our favorite spot on the northeast side!

    Renee's was good! The service was fast and efficient. I got the pesto ravioli and my date got the lasagna. We also got a couple of appetizers - including the spinach artichoke dip which came with very good focaccia bread. My biggest complaint is actually that we had a reservation through OpenTable and I chose 8pm as my seating time. It looked like they had availability all night in 30 minute increments - then you would have that table for roughly an hour and a half. I called beforehand to reserve a table but the person on the phone told me to go online to reserve my spot. So when I got to the restaurant at 8, we were seated promptly outside where I had requested. It was a nice cozy seat outside next to a heat lamp. But what I didn't know is that they stop seating people at 8:15. One other couple also walked in and got a table at the same time that we did. We were the only two tables in the restaurant, and the emptiness of it made it not as enjoyable. My date and I have both served before, so we knew that this wasn't ideal for our server or the rest of the staff either, and it was awkward when the other couple left and we were still there eating out meals. We almost got a bottle of wine, which the server said they were out of, and thank god we didn't, because we would have had to down the bottle super quickly, and we had already each ordered drinks when we sat down. They didn't actually rush us, but it did feel that way as they started shutting everything down around us. I'm not faulting the server at all for doing this, I would have done exactly the same thing if I was working there. But if I had known about when they take their last reservations or how busy they were that night, I would never have booked an 8pm reservation. I would much rather have talked to a person to book the table, and have them tell me that it was a late reservation, or whether or not it was busy that night, etc.; I'd like a human opinion on timing, because it made our time there awkward.

    Kate,one thing I can tell you is we welcome people until 8:15 for their reservations, pretty early last seating, and our servers do pick the shifts they want.We don't list our closing time we list our last booking.When you arrive, you are welcomed and cared for.Sometimes that is 1 table and sometimes it is several.We are tiny and reservations are recommended.You can also walk in and get a feel and be seated if there is an open seat. If you had no reservations and you had walked in at 8:00 and everyone else was gone,maybe a very careful conversation could happen.BUT our goal is to work together for you and with each other and part of that closing is done while our last seating is enjoying their time here.I will discuss the closing of the patio around you.I appreciate you and your feedback.

    We went to Renee's for the Valentine's Day special. We weren't strangers there, but this evening was really outstanding. Renee herself served our table, and was her usual warm self.

    Wonderful food, great service! We wish they had a few more options for mixed drinks, and maybe a couple more options for entrées. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time there thanks to all who worked on Valentine’s Day!!! we will be back in the future!! Steve-O 😎

    We had the perfect Valentine's Day experience at Renee's on Valentine's Day. For this special occasion, they required a reservation and pre payment of $100 for two of us, which seemed reasonable to me. Our table, a booth, was toward the quiet back of the restaurant and was very private, which we liked. The relaxing dinner included salad (he had spinach/goat cheese, I had Caprese), a main entree which we chose (chicken breast with zucchini noodles and sun dried tomatoes (excellent!), a glass of wine, and a dessert to split. It was a beautiful evening with excellent food, and we were reminded of how a visit to a small, quiet restaurant like Renee's feeds our souls as well as our bodies.
