We seat about 60 full. We have an outside deck, but the weather is a little chilly. There are about 15 tables. Like i said, it doesn't take much to fill us up. That was kind of the point when i designed the layout and chose the spot. I wanted a nice intimate setting, not too big, and provide top notch quality and service with affordable prices. For the food I offer and the time for preparation, I think my prices are right on. Prices are on my website @ BistroRenaissance.com

Great Menu. I was going to say you need more vegetarian items but then I saw you are in Michigan so probably not. Lol.

Speaking of vegetarians...Have you ever been to Hudson Valley Foie Gras? It's an experience and a half.
