   We have been going to Renzo's for the last 3 years and this is the first time we were so disappointed. We were seated 20 min after our reservation even though there were open tables. Then we waited almost another 20 min for someone to approach us and ask if we were served yet. Thanks to Elizabeth who took the initiative to serve us since our server never even recognized we were there. Our Parrilla meat wasn't up to the quality we are used to, and the grill did not stay warm to keep our meats at a good temperature. I hope, since Renzo's is one of our favorite restaurants, this was just a bad night and not becoming the norm.

   Seemed a little slow to get food. Value was not good. My steak, carrots and yucca fries were good. The bacon appetizer flavor i didn't like, almost like marinated in grape jelly. The pork chop had a smoky flavor that I can best describe as burnt plastic. Staff was polite. But to pay that much for odd flavored food, thats a hard no.

   Huge disappointment. Slow service, underwhelming food but good cocktails. I’ve never had a restaurant start vacuuming around me while there are still four or five tables of people finishing up their meals and drinks.

   I've driven past this place a million times. I finally tried it last night. Not cheap, but not over-the-top pricing ... a great value. The manager was kind enough to stop by our table to ensure everything was to our liking.

   Great service, the sausage is made in house and is very good and authentic, great steaks, good wines and mixed drinks, and the flan for dessert is the best in St. Petersburg.

   My sister and I went to dinner here. We went once before for happy hour a while ago and liked it. We were seated promptly and given menus. It was a Tuesday at 6:30 pm, so not many others were dining. It is an upscale Argentinian casual restaurant. They have a large television on one side showing pictures of Argentina and other creative designs. There is a full bar with a few chairs also. The waitress explained the specials and offered suggestions on what to order. We ordered drinks. I had a fancy "Legendary" Manhattan ($18) and my sister had a glass of red wine ($18). We started with the Provoleta ($9) which was fried cheese. It was tasty but not much different than Greek Saganaki. Then we ordered main courses, I chose the NY Strip med-rare ($45) and my sister had a filet mignon medium ($45). We chose sides of potato puree ($12) and the fried spinach ($12). The steaks were cooked perfectly. The potato puree was good but not overly flavorful and the spinach was very good. Then we had dessert. On suggestion we tried the signature Chaja ($9?) which was presented pretty but made for an odd combination of textures and flavors. I did ask if they had Port dessert wine since they have Italian and Spanish influences throughout the menu but they didn't have it. All in, a nice night out. More expensive than I felt it should be ($190 before tip), but maybe that's me.

    Went for a lunch date and it was wonderful. Wasn’t very busy so noise level was low. Drinks and food were fantastic. Looking forward to returning soon!
