    "Undecently" Decent  Martinis. Maybe best in area.
    Steve S.

    First time there. We both liked décor and ambience. Owned by a Persian trained in French kitchen. Very Nice person. 4 tables filled this Thursday night so perhaps explained very personal attention. May need to slow pace of service a bit. Overall a very nice experience. Would recommend for guests, dates and special or regular occasions. Some kind of gold stars on walls next to tables but didn't understand the explanation on why names and dates were on gold inserts on walls other than they were long term regulars. Loved that it was quiet and conversation was comfortable. A good place for adults and college age children. Dishes , bread, and utensils above average. Held back one star only because need more time there to decide. Perhaps because I was not told oysters were not raw but saucy (although I would not expect raw given August season). I did ruin a shirt eating. Parking absolutely no problem. He and she both liked. We will be back.

    I was looking for a great place for birthdays and saw many people come here to celebrate! The waiter/ maybe owner was so friendly and fun when we visited :) it made for a really nice experience! Here's what we got Hemingway in Paris - 3.75/5 we liked this one even more surprisingly! Great balance and also poured a lot lol French martini - 3.5/5 sweet and they poured a lot! Duck confit - 4.5/5 love the sauce and was cooked so tender and juicy. This was amazing! Only minus some points cause the rice it came with was mushy and I liked the flavor but it was sweet and so was the duck so very slightly overly sweet overall French onion soup - 4/5 super cheesy! Love the cheese blend and the taste of the soup and filling was great! However I wish there was a bit more soup and onion in the soup to cheese ratio Hanger steak special - 3.5/5 yummy and tender! It was a good price too Tenderloin - 4.5/5 cooked very nicely and I really really liked the sauce and veggies! Veggies were cooked perfectly and complimented well! The sauce is like black pepper but lighter and creamier Banana flambé - 3/5 they offered us a free dessert between creme brûlée and banana flambé for birthday! So nice and love the fire show! I do wish they cooked it slightly longer to lesson the alcohol flavor but it was good nonetheless!

    Authentic French spot that I struggle to call a "restaurant" because coming here is an experience that can not be encapsulated by the food alone First off, the host of the place is extremely gregarious and jokes around with all of the patrons. He even pulled up a seat to one of the tables near ours to chat with the diners lol Also, the place is extremely regally decorated. From the portraits coving the walls to the ornate silverware and dining ware, the vibe here makes you feel like you are eating at a place. As far as the selection goes, they have a comprehensive menu of wine, cocktails, and food options. They also have a tasting menu, but we did not try it I opted for the "French Martini", a French onion soup, and a fillet. It was all totally delicious. We also got complimentary sourdough bread (+ butter) that was so delicious we took it home with us. Additionally, they also gave us a complimentary small portion of dessert! The servers were all very friendly, but the service was very slow and we ended up being there for almost 2 hours. I also did not have my water refilled for about 1.5 hours of the 2. Additionally, the lid to the to-go box that they gave my GF was dirty (luckily we noticed this before putting it on her food), and, although I struggle to complain about a complimentary dessert, there was a huge hair that was baked into my creme brûlée. I get that stuff happens, but this thing was comically big

    You have out of town guests coming? You want to make sure they have a memorable visit? Take them to Cafe Renaissance. You and your guests will not be disappointed. Starting with a warm greeting from Saeed, a lovely table awaits. Service is superior and the menu is extensive. All palates will be more than satisfied. Leave room for dessert. I recommend Saeed's specialty coffee.

    What we have here is the exact opposite of a chain restaurant. You have a very cozy, romantic, personal spot that offers French dishes and many cocktail options from a fully stocked bar. Flaming desserts and even a flaming Irish Jameson coffee drink. I went with the Angel hair pasta, shrimp, scallops, crab cake & herbs entree. Crab cake was really special and delicious. Shrimp was great slathered in the light and tasty sauce. Scallops also garnished with the same sauce that covers the pasta. I forced myself to finish the whole thing as we were on vaca and didn't see myself wanting to eat it cold as our room had no microwave. The staff was even kind enough to give us a complimentary dessert! I made room in my stomach for this along with a really great cappuccino. I do not think you will be disappointed by coming here if you like fine French cuisine. As always people SYOY!!!

    Échantillonneur de fruits de mer - Crabcake, shrimp & lobster ravioli, sampler
    Chi L.

    The service and food is is beyond exceptional. I had the chance to take my dad here for his birthday and they made it so special. We started off with the with the Échantillonneur de fruits de mer, which was the shrimp, crab and lobster ravioli sampler. Absolutely amazing! Smaller appetizer portion, but everything was so tasty. My dad and I both got the Jarrets d'agneau braisés au vin rouge. Which is lamb shank which was so fall off the bone tender. Awesome flavor and the vegetables that came with it paired perfectly. They also came out with a surprise plate of desert and a candle for my dad. It was a Monday so the restaurant was quite empty, but the server and the few tables in the restaurant all sang happy birthday to him. Would recommend this place, such amazing service that makes you feel very welcome and at home.

    Duck confit a l'orange, perfect and with excellent flavor and presentation. The vegetables are amazing, and the rice was also delicious.

    My wife and I have dined at Cafe Renaissance several times, with our most recent experience being our Anniversary. Cafe Renaissance is very fine French dining, with high end menu options. For a high end restaurant I expect high end service and food. Cafe Renaissance delivers a much higher fine dining experience and higher quality of the dining options than you would expect, if I could rate higher than 5 stars I would! As usual my wife and I shared the escargot appetizer, which is excellent, but also makes a great dipping option for the really good bread that is served. I would highly recommend. For our dinner, my wife ordered the Cheveux d'ange aux crevettes, crabe et saint-jacques, Angel hair pasta, shrimp, scallops, crab cake & herbs. The angel hair pasta was incredible, as were the seafood items in the dish. I tried the crab cake and thought it was especially delicious. I ordered the duck confit, a go to favorite of mine. Their orange zest on the duck and the rice was top notch flavors on the dish. The asparagus with sauce is incredible, as was the carrot which was very delicious. Cafe Renaissance is a small, quaint, high end romantic restaurant that I would highly recommend for any occasion, or just a night out when you want something extraordinary. To top it all off, being our Anniversary, they brought out a special dessert consisting of a cake roll, raspberry mousse and a flaky pastry which was mmmmmm. To make the evening sparkle, they served the dessert plate with a sparkler to end our night extra special. There are only a few restaurants I consider among the best in the DC area, and Cafe Renaissance is one of them

    Confit de canard à l'orange
    Klara C.

    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 coming here!

For entrees we got the pork chop and the halibut. The pork chop was a decent sized potion and cooked PERFECTLY. The halibut was smooth as butter but wasn't a very large entree, so I wouldn't recommend if you are super hungry, but if you're not, it's very flavorful and delicate! We then ordered the banana bread, bread pudding to go and ate it when we got home. It was also 10/10! Overall, it was a very nice, elegant experience. I would recommend for special occasions!

Snails in a lot of butter so nothing can go wrong here but it lacked authenticity because the snails were served outside their shell but still good. 3. Duck confit - the duck was good but on the salty side but had a nice crispy skin. The sides made no sense....a pile of potatoes that are no better than breakfast hash and a bunch of oily cabbage both dumped on the plate with zero attempt to properly plate the food which you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber charging these prices 4.

He seemed to know a lot of the customers which makes it feel homey. They gave complimentary bread which came with butter, olive oil, balsamic, and other fixings. The bread was super soft on the inside and had a nice crunch from the exterior. My boyfriend and I ordered the calamari, scaloppini mare terra, fettuccini con funghi, and fettuccini al frutti di mare. In simple terms: calamari, a seafood vodka pasta, fettuccini alfredo w mushroom, and veal with lobster bits served with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Surprisingly, I didn't love the calamari. It had a good size but lacked flavor. It also could have been cooked a tad bit more for better color and texture. The fettuccini alfredo was super creamy and had such a strong mushroom taste! The veal was nice but a bit chewy for my liking. The scalloped potatoes were good but nothing special. However the star of the show was the seafood vodka pasta! It had such an amazing vodka flavor with loads of seafood! I have to admit, they put way too many calamari pieces and not enough of the other items mentioned in the dish. Another thing was that I found a strand of hair on my plate. When I notified the server, he said it was just from the green beans but would exchange it for me. Later, he explained that the "hair" was green bean skin.. which was odd to me considering the hair was turning black to white. I didn't appreciate him trying to make an excuse. I decided to look past it even though the server didn't apologize. Good first experience (other than the piece of hair). The seafood vodka pasta is def a must-have. The vibes are great and the owner makes you feel like family.

They offer a prix-fixe menu that changes seasonally (?) for brunch and dinner. The ingredients here are high-quality and well prepared and cared for before serving. I've heard great things about Maple Ave from a friends, so I took my family here for dinner this past Wednesday. We really enjoyed the creativity of how the dishes were crafted and plated here and the execution was also phenomenal. This time around, it was 59.00 per person for a 4-course prix-fixe dinner (two appetizers, one entree, and one dessert). Since there were only a couple options per section, we were able to try all the options they had. FIRST: APPLE HAZELNUT SOUP Creamy, pale colored soup with a thicker consistency similar to butternut squash soup. It was lightly sweet, yet savory at the same time. There were some pickled apples and toasted hazelnuts delicately sprinkled on top that added a bit of a crunch. The soup was unique and we enjoyed it. FIRST: ROOTCAKE Between the rootcake and the apple hazelnut soup, the rootcake was my favorite. The vegetables were caramelized and made into a patty, topped generously with almonds with some umami aïoli and pimenton sauce. The rootcake was so good. Each bite was hearty and rich, and it's such a unique way to prepare vegetables. The sauce enhanced each bite and the almonds provided a nutty texture. I would recommend the rootcake as your first option. SECOND: CRISPY SQUASH NUGGETS I didn't think I would enjoy the crispy squash nuggets as much as I did. The roasted squash is breaded with panko crumbs, sitting in some dill yogurt sauce and topped with some raisins and radish. The squash were perfectly seasoned and crispy with a soft interior that left my taste buds wanting more. The dill yogurt sauce was a good complement. I'd definitely recommend this option if you're not a fan of mushrooms and/or you want something more crispy. SECOND: WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO One of the best mushroom risottos I've ever had. It's rich and creamy, filled with truffle flavor. The shiitake mushrooms had a dry, crispy texture. The manchego shavings on top were a great plus. The squash was used for coloring and probably some flavoring? Not sure. The whole thing was really good and memorable. I'd definitely recommend! THIRD: SHRIMP I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but my family loved it along with the citrus braised fennel. I was a fan of the creamy semolina, though! Overall, it wasn't for me, but that's more of a personal preference. THIRD: PORK CONFIT STEAK The pork they used was pork belly (?) and seared very nicely, topped with perfectly crispy potatoes, mangoes (?), brown butter sweet potato puree and chimi churri sauce. The pork belly melted in my mouth but as someone who's not the biggest fan of fatty pork, I wish it was a leaner cut. The potatoes were so good and went well with the sweet potato puree. Even though I didn't love the pork confit steak, I'd recommend this entree over the shrimp. FOURTH: MOCK FRIED "APPLE" PIE It was zucchini instead of apple and you can't even tell. I loved the crispy pie exterior which was lightly topped with cinnamon. The vanilla bean ice cream was my favorite as it was creamy and smooth. The dulce de leche and lavender honey were nice touches. Very nice way to end the meal. All the food here were so rich with lots of complex flavors. Each dish was so beautifully plated with many vibrant colors. We were quite full after all the food we ate. I would recommend coming here with another person to try all the options they offer here! The food here is unique and well-executed, and I'd be open to come back to try a different seasonal menu.

The floating island was a perfect way to round out the meal, hitting the sweet spots and leaving me satisfied. The seating was comfortable, with delightful art lining the walls. Some close quarters within, but enough space to have private ish conversations. The service was prompt and lovely, despite charging for the wrong table's order at first (which was quickly corrected).

    Wonderful classic French restaurant in Falls Church. Cozy atmosphere with dark wood floors, nice…read morelighting and white tablecloth tables. Comfortable yet the feel of a more formal special occasion location. There are 3 price fix options but you can order à la cart if you prefer. The food is outstanding- fresh and delicious. Service is outstanding. Parking is to the left of the entrance. Why the 4 stars?! I thought the 2 times I've been there the desserts have been dare I say average/ok and maybe even disappointing? I'll still return as I believe it to be a high quality meal and experience if you want French cuisine.

    I'm so sad to hear that my favorite crepe spot is permanently closed! Throughout the years this has…read morebeen my go-to coffee and laptop spot. They have the BEST dark chocolate strawberry smoothie I've ever had. Their Poulet Gruyere crepe was my regular order and it never once disappointed. The staff was always very nice. RIP crepe amour

    This was spot #3 of 4...a slight detour from the coffee marathon for me & fellow Yelper, HeideAnn…read more I originally didn't plan on getting anything, but then we chose to share a savory crepe, which was perfect! We ordered the Poulet Gruyere ($12.10) without the cracked pepper...and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. They cut it it in half, exactly as I requested. This crepe was generously packed with chicken/mushroom/peppers/cheese consisting of intense flavors. While I appreciate the generous amount of filling in the crepe, the ratio of crepe to filling was a little off. The filling probably would have been easier to eat in a wrap form. Nonetheless, it was still very flavorful and I highly recommend it. They have an extensive menu including sweet/savory crepes, all-day breakfast, waffles, various beverages. There is definitely something for everyone. The cafe has plenty of seating (inside & outside), but I would assume it may be a little crowded if/when they get busy. The employees were very friendly and accommodating in that they gave us an extra cup with ice and split and plated the crepe. I thought it was cool they sell the crepe mix separately. There are plenty of outlets for anyone who needs to charge their devices. One thing to note, the cafe is located in a very tight and potentially busy strip mall. While there is enough parking, it can be limited in the evening (from past experience. Would I return? Possibly, if I'm in the area.
