Good selection for Italian leaning entrees, appetizers and salads. Desserts were offered but passed. Suggest updating their menu on OpenTable as selection and pricing were from quite a while ago.

Outstanding food. I love to enjoy a great meal without being rushed. My husband and I enjoy every bite of the meal in a relaxed atmosphere. There is always a great wine recommendation to pair with the meal. Dessert: the perfect size. The chocolate cheesecake is sinfully delicious. Will be back soon!

We eat here frequently when we want a dining experience and we are never disappointed! Doug, our normal waiter, is fantastic with help on libations, food and humor to keep us laughing! When we don’t have Doug, it is still great because all the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. We have recommended the Renaissance to many of our friends!

We have eaten at Renaissance before, this night the food was not quite as good. Also, the waiter was polite, but I would have been more comfortable if he had looked me in the eye when speaking to me, rather than at the table.

Our group last went just before Covid closed everything. I don't know how, but we had forgotten how good the food was! I chose the venue because it was my birthday on the 25th. We were all so glad we came! Our server was excellent. Thank you all so much

Our evening was wonderful. The staff was energetic , knowledgeable and the service was great. The food was amazing. My only comment would be that my spaghetti carbonara was a little dry and could have used a splash of pasta water, but the flavor was great. We will come back.

First time we have dined at the Renaissance Cafe. Heard about them being a top 10 restaurant in Kansas. They did not disappoint!! Fantastic ambience! It’s a truly unique place that you need to see to appreciate. Service was absolutely superb. Never ever tried to rush us and we both appreciated that! Took the time to explain everything from the cocktails thru main course in great detail. We were both blown away by the cuisine. Will definitely be back!!

The phrase “diamond in the rough” is used readily in our culture. The word platinum should be substituted for diamond when describing our experience at the Renaissance Cafe. For the last year a group of of old friends has gathered here on a regular basis and it’s always a great experience. Food, service and the warmth shown by staff make this a perfect plaice to dine and fill your soul with warmth and joy.
