    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.

    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.

    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.

    Jan - thank you SO much for your amazing review & recommendation. It is very much appreciated. Wonderful working with you - hope to work with you again in the future. ~ Renee

    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.

    Renee's Bistro & Catering Service LLC's reply:

    Thank you so much for this - it is beyond appreciated. What a wonderful day. The set up was absolutely amazing! So beautiful. Congratulations & thank you for your business.

    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!

    Renee's Bistro & Catering Service LLC's reply:

    Thank you so much for all your kind words & for trusting Renee's Bistro & Catering Service to your very special day. We were honored to be part of it. Congratulations!

    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!

    Renee's Bistro & Catering Service LLC's reply:

    Jessica,
    I can not thank you enough for your kind words and trusting me to cater your wedding. It was an honor & wonderful experience. You are a beautiful couple and was such a pleasure to be part of your marriage. Cheers to you & may you have a long & happy life together!

    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!

    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 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.

    Renee and her staff did a wonderful job catering our back yard wedding reception. We contacted Renee's about catering and we were invited for a tasting at their facility. This was a great experience, and gave us a feel for what they were capable of cooking for us. We left very full, everything was so delicious. Renee was very flexible with our menu, and even agreed to use our own butternut squash that we grew on our farm for a personal touch. Once our big day arrived, Renee and her staff were professional and polite. They also worked very well in conjunction with our other vendors. We had about 150 guests, with a buffet dinner and Renee and staff fed everyone in a very timely manner. Our food was warm and tasted great. We received many compliments from guests on the quality of the food, as well as the friendliness of the catering staff. We would highly recommend Renee's for your event! Thanks again, Jess & Jeff

    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.

    I have had many events catered by this company since they have been in business and every single one of them has far exceeded my expectations. The food is amazing, the staff is fantastic and the pricing is incredible. Whether it is a small dinner party, a large wedding reception, a corporate event, this company handles it all with grace, class, exceptional and quality food and professional and friendly service. They will not disappoint!! Thank you for all the wonderful events you have done for me and my company. Can't wait for future events.

    Renee was wonderful to work with. During the process, she was fast at answering my multiple questions, made change to the menu as requested, made note on dietary allergies and made the overall process very stress free! When an issue came up the week of the wedding with the tent delivery, she was on the phone and had the problem resolved( they forgot to deliver the sides and had not provided the correct lighting).
    We received many compliments on the food, and the service was top notch. I loved Renee and will use her again for my catering needs!

    I used Renees Working Girl Catering for the first time on Sunday, July 17th for a bridal shower. I am above happy with the service and the food that I received. I will definitely be using them for all my catering needs.
