Was kinda disappointed on this, we ordered lunch for our office and ordered 3 different temperatures for all of our steaks, upon arrival the boxes had nothing on them so we had to cut each steak to figure out the Tempe of each. I was particularly disappointed in my steak, for 32$ a good portion of the steak was just Fat, that’s not edible unless you want to feel mush in your mouth. The mash potatoes were tasty and I have to credit that if it wasent for that I’d still be hungry. No complementary breads were given on a $250 take out order.

The picture of the charcuterie board ($25) should tell you everything you need to know about this restaurant. We thought that the rest of the meal would be better and that this was a one off. It wasn’t. Reasons to go to this restaurant: -You don’t value your money -You want to give your friends or family an overpriced, mediocre meal -Literally every other restaurant is closed and you don’t know how to cook -you don’t think you deserve nice things -You’re in the presence of your enemies -You’re interested in trying food that has less seasoning than your grandpas comb Our server was friendly, but wasn’t able to come and check on us in time to learn our steaks were all over cooked. The water tasted weird (probable mold in your soda/water dispensers?). We ordered the cheese and deli meat tray from Walmart, along with the overcooked filet medallions with freezer fries. The New York strip that’s thoughtfully curated without flavor so you can add your own , a dry aged (dry ass) ribeye for $70 and the spinach and lobster ravioli (the pastas were actually fine). We were here on Valentines Day of 2025 and spent $400 on four people. This has been and will hopefully remain as the worst way I’ve spent money this year. Don’t go here.

Rocio was an excellent server. Helped with recommendations explained everything perfectly food was very good we had the steak and chicken

The place is not big at all, not a place for big groups. We were given a table for 14 in the middle of the room and then got one of the strollers moved without any notice or permission (with baby inside) to the other side of table because “it was in the way”, but they chose where to sit us. We had made a reservation a few days in advance so they knew we were coming but did not plan ahead.They all looked very bothered that we were there.The food tasted good but was cold and the portions were too little for the price. A plate of Ravioli had good taste but only served 5 raviolis in the plate and was not hot enough. Mashed potatoes were not hot enough either. Their bread was really good and the red sangria as well. Overall experience was ok!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Renzo’s Steak House is an absolute gem! The all beef parrilla is a must-try, offering a delicious variety of meats cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The fried yuca and maduros are outstanding sides that perfectly complement the meal. The service is top-notch, with attentive staff who truly enhance the experience. Don’t forget to try the crème brûlée for dessert it’s simply divine! Whether for a special occasion or a night out, Renzo’s never disappoints. I can’t wait to go back!

An unassuming nice Argentinian restaurant with a bit of a limited drink menu but food was pretty good. The tiradito was OK but I kept the rating at 5 stars for food because the short rib was delicious as was the Milanese and mil hojas dessert. Worth trying out if you haven’t gone. Service was prompt and regular

This was a staple for us at least once a week, however, the last two times food quality changed. The chicken dish I normally get ( changed preparation or recipe) definitely not the same and my husband’s picanha was thick cut and tough, usually thin cut 3 pieces and much more tender. Hopefully they will go back to what kept us coming back each week. For now, we will try other options but will miss our wonderful servers!

Renzos is almost 40 minutes away with traffic, more than 1 hour and 20 minutes between going and coming home, I placed an order for two churrascos that with the tip came to 100 dollars, to get home and see that the portion of fries that accompanied it was ridiculous, a handful of fries , but the most disappointing thing was that they did not put the chimichurry, a churrasco is characterized by the chimichurry, and the response of the lady when I called the restaurant, was that in orders to go they do not put sauces !!! since when !! If many dishes the essential and characteristic thing is the sauce, it has been a while since I went Andy friends had already told me that this restaurant had become expensive and bad
