Excellent service with the minor flairs that add a little to the experience - fresh parmesan and cracked pepper at the table. Dishes: salads - caprese avocado and misto, both excellent and good sized portions. Mains - scampi pasta and salmon - both good flavors, well cooked and nice size, but not huge, portions. Dessert a peach pastry with ice cream, served hot with the ice cream melting, delicious. Didn't try the pizzas, but we watched several come out and the looked great and are certainly more than what one person could eat. For 2 with drinks, just over $100 plus tax and tip. For the quality of the place we consider that good value.

Upon entering, we were greeted warmly. The decor and interior are gorgeous. The vibe is warm and inviting. It's a large restaurant but it feels cozy. The ambience is one where you want to be there. 5/5 on ambience. Our server, Matthew, was one of the best we have ever had. He was warm, friendly, and helpful. He engaged with the kid and made her feel welcome. He steered me to choices that turned out great. 5/5 on service. We started with the caprese salad and it was excellent. The portion was small for the money, but the quality and flavor were outstanding. Matthew steered me to the lasagna and it was excellent. It was so rich that I could only eat half. I would have liked a bit more sauce, but overall it was very tasty and had lots of meat. I would get it again, maybe split it with the wife who also liked it. The wife had the Bolognese and it was good but not great. It. is supposed to be a pasta and meat dish but there was almost discernible meat. She found one small piece of meat. It was not bad, just not as good as she had hoped, or that we had experienced at Zeppole. She would not get it again. Instead, she stole my lasagna! For dessert, the wife had the olive oil cake. It was good but a bit dry, it should be moister. The kid had the lava cake and although she loves chocolate, she said there was too much. I guess it was cloying sweet. I had chocolate gelato and had no complaints. I cannot leave the review without mentioning the Silicon margarita. Wow, they (plural) were outstanding. I could drink those all night and live to regret it the next day. It is a perfectly balanced blend of flavors with Don Julio tequila, my favorite. Be sure to sip it through the salt. That is one dangerous margarita. I loved it. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. The bolognese and dry olive oil cake prevent a 5 star review, but it certainly was a very good restaurant. We will return for sure to try something else.

We had dined at another DM location recently and preferred this one head and shoulders above the other one. It's easily accessible at the intersection of Central and Walnut Hill. There is plenty of parking. The atmosphere here is pleasant and the decor is a soft contemporary design.

I had treated my mom and stepdad to brunch here, and everyone raved about their dishes. I had a agua fresca that was great, and the entree of Huevos Jaliscos were absolutely fantastic! There was a great depth of flavor. I really could not stop eating it! Overall, a truly remarkable meal, and this will be my Doce Mesa of choice going forward. It's an excellent value, delicious food and a great atmosphere. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu in future visits.

We started with the chicken fried quail tenders, which had a fantastic dipping sauce with them. For entrées, we had the New York strip chicken fried steak and the steak frites. I wasn't crazy about the chicken fried steak as it was a ton of batter and a very thin, thin piece of steak inside. I don't think I would order it again.

My wife and I met a dear friend from North Dallas for a late lunch at Renny's. We had heard so many…read morewonderful things about the restaurant and were eager to try it for ourselves. Just as exciting was the opportunity to spend time with our friend and catch up. Since it was well past the lunch rush, Renny's was pleasantly quiet. We were seated immediately and settled comfortably at our table while waiting for our friend to arrive. Our server, Carlos, greeted us warmly and asked if it was our first time dining at Renny's. We assured him it wasn't. We started with a couple of glasses of their incredible iced tea, a special blend called Apricot Chardonnay. It's delightful. In fact, the restaurant sells it in the bag, and we always take one home with us. Our friend arrived just in time to look over the menu. With so many tempting choices, deciding wasn't easy. My wife, a devoted chicken salad sandwich fan, chose the chicken salad sandwich, and our friend quickly followed suit. I ordered the Friday lunch special: fried cod and fries with a side of jalapeño-infused coleslaw. During our visit, Kim, the manager, stopped by to introduce herself. She was incredibly personable and made us feel right at home. As we enjoyed our iced tea and caught up on all the latest news and gossip, Carlos arrived with our entrees. I sampled the chicken salad and can confirm that it is outstanding. The seasoning and mayonnaise are blended perfectly. My fried cod and fries looked picture-perfect. Carlos asked if I wanted malt vinegar, and my response was an enthusiastic "Of course!" Fish and chips just aren't complete without it. What a fantastic lunch we had. The ladies were all smiles and declared themselves happily satisfied. My fish and chips were among the best I've ever had. The cod was fried to perfection: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In a few months, we'll be traveling to Alaska, where there's supposedly a restaurant that serves the best fried cod anywhere. I'm willing to bet that Renny's cod would give them some serious competition. It was phenomenal. The fries were excellent, and the jalapeño coleslaw added the perfect touch. Even though we probably shouldn't have, we couldn't resist ordering dessert. I chose the Crème Brûlée, while the ladies shared an apple tart. The Crème Brûlée was incredible, especially paired with a cup of black coffee. They kindly gave me a taste of the apple tart, and all I can say is wow. The apple slices were cut paper-thin, likely with mandoline, and the puff pastry was baked to perfection. All in all, it was a stellar visit to Renny's. If it weren't so far from home, we would undoubtedly become weekly regulars. A special thank you to Carlos for his attentive, friendly service and to the entire team for making our lunch so memorable.

Food, however, wasn't great, we came multiple times last year and it was fantastic all around, last night?... New risotto appetizer was flavorless 4/10, sauce was outstanding 9/10. Chicken meatballs were 6/10, salty, but sauce again was 8.5/10. Bread with the meatballs was 9/10. Nightly special was 9/10, chicken thigh wrapped chicken leg, amazing sauce and carrots. Special sauce with the nightly special stole the night at 9.5/10 - I'd order a bowl of that and call it a night! Magic Chicken Thighs were 6/10, overly salted and dry - side arugula salad was a salt bomb 2/10. Sweet potatoe purée was 7.5/10. Burger and fries were 7/10, solid and above average. Salmon was 7/10, slightly overcooked. Mac & Cheese was 3/10, below average, dry, almost flavorless - paid $4 for bacon topping and it was dry also. Noodles were dried out and the cheese sauce was at the bottom of the cup, tasted like they scooped in pre-made noodles, added sauce, threw it in the oven and off it went - didn't appear mixed together at the least. Carrots, solid 8/10. Overall, I'd be tempted to give it another try, the ambiance and overall feel is awesome - then hope the food is great again and make it a perfect Friday night spot, but for $275 for the 4 entree's, 2 appetizer's and 2 drinks we got last night? I'd argue it wasn't worth it.
