Reviews of Renee's Bistro & Catering Service LLC

Fantastic Caterer

Renee’s Bistro and Catering was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding this September. The team accommodated a diverse range of dietary needs/allergies without issue, and our guests raved about their meals and desserts! The tasting we did prior to picking our menu was very informative. Renee's has an extensive menu, many years of experience, and was able to handle our venue, which had no on-site kitchen. We're really thankful for their experience and hard work!

In addition to food, Renee's offers bar services, linens, glassware, silverware, and more. I cannot recommend their cakes and desserts more highly, our chocolate and raspberry cake was perfect! The waitstaff were attentive and kind as well.

Amazing Service and Delicious Food

My review of Renee's Bistro is two-fold. I have eaten in their eat-in location as well as had them cater my wedding.

Their eat-in area is small but cozy. It's very comfortable to eat in there, service was prompt, and the food was delicious. I can't rave enough about the food I've gotten from Renee's. I've eaten there on multiple occasions and every single time the food has been beyond delicious. You can tell they really put love and care into cooking their food.

Renee's also catered my wedding of just over 100 guests and nailed the whole process top to bottom. Leading up the the wedding, my contact at Renee's (Rebecca) was communicative and patient with all my questions. Rebecca and Renee's was super accommodating with a couple slightly odd requests that we had and seemed legitimately excited to cater our wedding. I was excited for my wedding too, of course, but their energy was contagious. The day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly I barely even noticed Renee's was there. They worked with my day of coordinator (a family friend) and when I finally came into the dining room everything was done perfectly. The whole night, Renee's was right on time with food and dessert and the food seemed to just appear. Their staff just blended right in when bringing the food out and filling water goblets etc. The food was delicious and many of our guests raved about it all night. We had a special request for a giant cinnamon roll for us instead of a cake, and we asked for smaller cinnamon rolls for our guests. Our cinnamon roll was delicious and the guests could stop talking about how great their cinnamon rolls were. At the end of the night, Renee's helped us clean up and were happy to take what they could off our plate.

All the great service and food came at an incredibly reasonable price as well. We priced out quite a few different places to cater our wedding and Renee's was by far the most bang for our buck. Not only were they the most reasonably priced, but the quality of food that we got for that price was mind blowing.

I would HIGHLY recommend you stop by Renee's for some food and a chat or for catering for your event. I really can't say enough good things about Renee's Bistro and Catering.

Great caterer in Northeast CT

They provided delicious cake pops nicely displayed for the wedding and catered a delicious brunch the next day. The food was beautifully displayed, fresh and delicious and the staff was great. Keith was patient as I changed the menu several times. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing!

Wow where do I even start? Renee’s catering service was amazing. From our first consultation to the big day the coordinator Keith was very helpful and knowledgeable. The staff at our wedding were very friendly. The food was top notch. I would definitely recommend booking with this wonderful company.

Outstanding Food and Experience

From the first meeting to the tasting to the actual wedding, every step of the process was easy and the team was professional and pleasant. Our cutting cake was delicious and beautiful, the staff made sure throughout the day both bride and groom were fed, and they were extremely sensitive and prepared for food allergies. I am dairy free and they prepared certain items to accommodate me, and I was so thrilled they remembered and paid attention to all the details. We could not be happier with our choice!

Everything we asked for and more!

We booked Renee for our wedding about a month before and from the get go she went above and beyond for our wedding. We called her and she had us in to have our tasting the same week. Days later the menu was finalized and adjusted for everything we needed. Day of she was the person who calmed me down when things were getting frustrating and kept everything on track. We were so lucky to find Renee and the company. If you have the chance, you have to try the chicken marsala. It is SO good!

Added bonus, everything was able to be gluten free and prepared in a way that did not allow for contamination, so our family with dietary restrictions could eat knowing the would enjoy themselves and not be ill after!

I can NOT say enough good things about this company, and Amber! She was right there with us during the whole planning process. She even had a baby during that time and never missed a beat! Our tasting was very personal and made us feel right at home. The food was so amazing - I personally suggest the bacon wrapped smokies and the spinach and artichoke dip - crowd (and bride/groom) favorites!

The night of the wedding they were on hand for what ever we needed and they kept things running so smooth. Their staff that night was such a pleasure. So polite and on the ball. Even after cocktail hour was over, they made sure we used up all the food we had paid for, and kept passing it while people waited to be fed by the food truck. To me that was HUGE! It helped keep my guests happy while they waited, and made me really know that I was getting my monies worth. I highly recommend this company!

I cannot rave enough about Renee and her team! Amber took such great care with both my bridal shower and wedding. Our guests could not get over how great the food was. Service was so smooth. From helping me plan my menu for both me (vegan) and my guests to cleaning up after the event, Renee's Working Girl Catering was absolutely the best. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for catering/bar services.

Incredible service and food at an affordable price. Renee's catered our wedding and the process from beginning to end was exactly what you'd wish every experience with a business would be like. Helpful in planning, patient, and perfect in execution of a great meal. Our guests were thrilled with the quality and variety of food, and we were 100% pleased with Renee's from start to finish. Many of our guests had special diets and we got a great variety of vegan, gluten free, nut free, and meats, perfectly prepared and presented.

I can't say enough good things about Renee and her staff. They catered our wedding of 150 people in a very rustic barn (the only running water was from a hose). Some caterers we interviewed were nervous about the location, but Renee was undaunted. She worked with a local farmer who roasted a pig and she and her staff prepared the salad, bread, sides and cake. The food was delicious - so many guests complimented it. The green beans were even crunchy, not the usual overcooked fare that large events usually offer. The cake was especially amazing - so moist, flavorful and beautifully decorated. Renee and her staff also coordinated all the catering rentals, linens, tables, china, glassware, chairs, coolers etc. I didn't have to worry about anything planning wise because they were on top of it. Amber and Stacy helped a lot with the pre-event coordination. They responded to my emails in less than 24 hours and had everything so organized. I kept revising the menu but they were very patient and did many menu and invoice rewrites without complaint.

Renee and her staff prepared a lot in advance and it was obvious because everything went so smoothly. I can't even think of one thing that went wrong catering-wise. The food was great, the service professional, the event well organized and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Renee's Working Girl Catering.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
