Reviews Summary

Rene at Tlaquepaque offers a romantic ambiance and high-quality French Mediterranean cuisine, making it a popular choice for special occasions. Diners praise the attentive service and the charming courtyard setting. However, some guests have reported issues with service inclusivity and perceived inconsistencies in flavor.

"It was a belated Mother's Day dinner for my mama. My crazy busy schedule had to postpone her special day.

She wanted The Hudson in Sedona but no reservations were available. My quick thinking along with my list of restaurants I want to try help make the decision easier.

I always wanted to try Renee's in Sedona. Such a beautiful restaurant with French Mediterranean cuisine. I always say you can't go wrong with a French bistro or restaurant.

We started of with two wine tastings. We settled on the En Route "Les Pommiers" by Far Niente, Russian River Valley 2022. You can never go wrong with Russian River Valley - one of my favorites I added to my collection at home.

My mom must have been hungry. I told her to order whatever she wanted and don't look at the prices. Money was no object. She ordered the Chilean Sea Bass plate AND the Petite Filet plate. She almost finished both of them! Then she finished off with the flourless chocolate tart and vanilla ice cream. If you've ever seen how tiny she is you would wonder where did she put all that food. 😄 I ordered the Dover Sole a la Meunière. Very tasty.

But, she was extremely happy The Hudson was not available because she really enjoyed her Mother's Day dinner at Rene. She said "You're spoiling me." She deserves it. She loves her red wine."

"Service was incredible.
Rib eye was good, not great. Lacked flavor and was very chewy. The truffle sauce helped.
Medium was in between medium rare and medium, some bites were lukewarm.
Bone marrow was amazing, salty but balanced well with bacon maple toppings.
Mushrooms sides were delicious, rich in flavor."

Stephanie Fields

"We were glad we made a reservation during our stay in Sedona and truly enjoyed our romantic, relaxing dinner at this charming restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely and inviting. We shared a few authentic dishes, savoring each bite, and although we didn’t order dessert, we hope the server and manager weren’t disappointed."

Eat Like a Tourist: Sedona

The romantic setting at Rene at Tlaquepaque has made this place a cornerstone Sedona date-night destination for nearly 40 years. Fanned cloth napkins and fresh flowers at each table set the mood within an art-filled courtyard. The menu revels in the kind of entrées that out-of-towners happily make the drive for, such as the tenderloin of antelope, which is served with a whiskey juniper berry sauce.
