“….Eureka!

That’s what I wanted to say when I discovered the place..Eureka! …From the outside, you’d never guess this place existed. But once I stepped through the front door, I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was captivating, and, believe it or not, they backed it up with great food.

Our server, Carissa, was perfect through our Labor Day lunch!, so I tipped her generously—she earned it.

I kicked off the feast with a Mexican beer called Explorado Lager. I lost count of how many I had, but it was something special—fruity, as my date noted, and I have to agree. It was different, in the best way!

We shared a plate of slow-roasted pork nachos and a plate of wings, they were definitely worth it.
I wrapped things up with the Napa chicken sandwich, which was spot on—the sauce was a perfect hit. Honestly, it felt like I was dining in a four-star restaurant. These folks really know their sauces.

“I ordered the Renaissance Club with a Balsamic Vinaigrette romaine lettuce salad and wow was it fresh tasting and differently not hotel food. The atmosphere is casual elegant and the patio is a very peaceful (maybe because the hotel guest are out and about). I truly enjoyed my lunch and will be back soon to try dinner.The Renaissance Club is $16.Pepsi is $4Update 12/15/23: Went back everyday for the rest of the week and tried some other dishes and wow!
