 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 12/16/25 update. We dined at Rene again on our most recent trip to Sedona and had a very enjoyable experience. We ordered the hot Spanish garlic shrimp and the roasted sweet potato and grilled pineapple. Absolutely delicious! Both were quite decent portion sizes and the flavors were excellent. Thanks and keep up the great work! ----- I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Rene recently and was very happy with pretty much everything to do with this restaurant. The service team did an excellent job. They were attentive, friendly, and accommodating, which made the experience just that much better. As for the food, everything was delicious, with excellent flavor and ideal portion sizes. We enjoyed the escargot for an appetizer, the petite filet and Mediterranean Octopus for the main course, plus a side of the lavender-infused fingerling potatoes. It is very easy to overcook octopus, but this dish was perfect in texture, taste, and consistency. The petite filet was nothing short of decadent. I chose a medium-rare presentation and it did not disappoint. Flavorful, tender, and accompanied with a jus that was, well, perfect. I could probably have eaten three of these at one sitting as it was that delicious. We also received bread and dipping oil before the main course, plus the potatoes. Kudos to lavender-infused potatoes as the lavender flavor was subtle, but present, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. In summary, this is how fine dining should always be. Kudos to the team, management, and employees for their dedication to culinary excellent. It is very much appreciated. Keep up the great work!
