We had a great meal both times we were in town. The food was presented beautifully and was fresh and local - all things we appreciate. Staff timed our meal so we had ample time to enjoy and get to the theatre.

This was our second visit to Rene's after a lapse of 2 years. Either my memory is going or things have gone very downhill since then. We were seated near the front window which normally would have been nice as the restaurant is rather dark, but it was next to the overly social hostess station. Helpful hint* Please entertain your...

An excellent choice of foods and fine service combined to make our dining experience just what we wanted. Our hostess at the Stone Maiden Inn suggested it and we were thrilled with this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere. Limited menu, but nice variety. Very good food. I had braised lamb shank which was delicious. Reservations needed.

All food is well-prepared and very tasty. Service is attentive, but not clingy. Make reservations well ahead of time if you're heading to the theater. Romantic atmosphere.

The food here in general is good but it's not really French cuisine. It's nearly 80 % Italian and continental.

We always eat at Rene's during our annual visits to Stratford. The food is wonderful and the service is first rate. We love seeing Tennessee transplant waitress, Marguerite, and enjoy the low key charm of this intimate bistro.
