    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.

    Fabulous service - attentive & professional staff - superb atmosphere. Our soups were both great - the vichyssoise (served cold) was nearly the equal of what my wife makes & that is praise indeed. Our entrees were perfect, veal medallions & the steak frites. I was disappointed that the Crepes Suzette was not flambe - lesson learned. We will be back.
