Hickory and Hazel, Renaissance Hotel

I was surprised at the quality of food given this restaurant is situated inside the Renaissance hotel. My steak was tender and a decent cut of beef. The vegetables fresh and the potatoes au gratin were ridiculously tasty. The server (I think he said Quincy?) was also friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s definitely worth trying if you’re already in the hotel.

Great service from Quincia. The shrimp & grits were good and she made the experience outstanding. This is our goto hotel and restaurant when we are staying close to the airport.

This is a fairly standard hotel restaurant connected to the main lobby of the hotel. It is easy walking distance from the Convention Center hotels. Based on the existing reviews, I chose this restaurant over the others nearby. The good news is that the service was excellent. The people were friendly, efficient, and quick. The decor is generic, but just fine. The food itself was mixed. The wine and fries were good, but the blackened chicken sandwich was moderately overcooked and sometimes quite chewy. Tasted fine, though. The prices were high, but as expected for an airport hotel with no competition nearby. Therefore I gave it 4 stars. Not as good as it could be, but mostly as expected. One last point. On this particular Friday night, they had a lobby DJ playing loud somewhat distorted

Typical hotel restaurant, basic and expensive. It didn't help that they served me a undercooked chicken sandwich that I sent back. That made for a very unpleasant evening. They took the sandwich off the bill, but wouldn't remove the drink. The cocktail was so so. The hotel did look nice though.

I was staying at the Hilton down the street from the exquisite Renaissance Hotel when I walked by this simple, but elegant restaurant. I ordered the shrimp and grits and loved it! The dish was piping hot and included a generous portion of baby shrimp. spicy sausage and perfectly made grits. A saxophone player in the lobby and great waitress made this a memorable experience.
