Pure white Haussmannian wall panel moldings, gold mirrors, marble bistro tables, herringbone floors, green velvet booths……The sweet perfume of Rosemary, Thyme, Toasted Baguette, Truffles, Boeuf Bourguignon served by an elegant waiter……Melodies from Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf are playing in the back, you love these songs, you try to guess the words……A Champagne bottle suddenly pops. You hear that very typical sound of 1500 years of French history in a bottle.You have landed in Paris. But are there palm trees in Paris? Is it the Seine River? Why do you see a white sandy beach on the horizon? Are we in Paris? Or are we in “Floride”?Come and see for yourself.You are eating at Renaissance tonight!Miam! Bon Appétit.

The staff was very attentive to all 16 of us from the time we arrived. The food was excellent from cocktails to appetizers to the main course to dessert. Be sure to try the Olive Oil Cake! This will be one of our highlights of our Christmas in Florida.

Food and drinks were exceptional. Lamb, Riley, seafood pasta, mushroom ravioli and beet salad with salmon. Baked brie appetizer. Felt rushed by hostess clearing plates before entire party had finished eating.

I recently heard of the Ocean Club and have been twice. It is a wonderful experience and a step back in time that reminds me of old Florida. We took some friends on our last visit, and they loved it. Excellent food only surpassed by the outstanding service.

Terrific service. Our server was prompt and helpful with suggestions. We had a scallop appetizer with goat cheese grits cake with poblano butter that was wonderful. My lobster brie sandwich with bacon jam was delightful. Overlooking the sunset on the bay— what more could you ask for?
