This restaurant is located in the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel. It is not an elegant restaurant, but it is comfortable, the wait staff is excellent, and the food preparation is very tasty. The menu is not extensive, but it has something for every palate from sandwiches, to salads, to Italian dishes, to meat and fish entrees. There is a nice wine and cocktail list. The homemade vegetable soup was incredible. I had the blackened grouper and it was prepared perfectly. Hamburgers are on the lunch menu, but if you want one for dinner, they will prepare it for you. Prices are reasonable for a nice restaurant. We had a great dinner.

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel and this restaurant is attached. I wanted ham & eggs and they made it to order and I was able to make it part of the buffet ($18) with all the drinks, (oj, tea, coffee) , fruit etc. that you want. We took tea, coffee and banana to go. I thought it was convenient, fast as we needed to get back to pack and make a flight. I would come here again in heart beat !!

We ate the breakfast buffet both mornings of our stay at the Renaissance hotel. It was good and good for the price. There is also a menu to order from as well. A little more variety would be nice too. Overall it was good and hot.

We were staying at the Renaissance Hotel and decided to have breakfast in the restaurant. The decor is interesting with colorful glass light fixtures reminecent of Venice. Very Italian and pretty. So far so good. It took no less than 20 minutes to get coffee and water. I forgot something in the room and my husband ordered. When I got back, nothing on the table then one coffee and one water even though he ordered two. We ordered the special eggs Pelagia(which is delicious!)and ended up with regular eggs Benedict. The waiter argued with us, then finally went to the kitchen and they set him straight. Too bad because the food was excellent, but the hostess said it was post holiday staffing issues. Not my problem with premium pricing and hungry guests...
