We were in NYC for Thanksgiving and did not make any plans for dinner. Stayed on 40th near 9th Ave. and just started wallking. We just happened to find this place with a reasonable price. Upon walking in the place we were really not impressed until taken further back into the restaurant where there was much more room for the 5 of us. All I can say is wow! Everything we ate was completely delicious! From the salad, bread, turkey, stuffing, cranberry salad (I don't even like cranberry salad) to the wonderful dessert. All 5 of us were extremely pleased. I was kinda upset that I was not going to have a home cooked meal for Thanksgiving but this was even better! We had great service, exceptional food, and reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?

I used to order food from this place at least 2 times a week when the food was great, cheap and the service was exceptional. Over the last 2 years, all 3 have deteriorated: the food isn't as good, the prices went up and the service is non-existent. I will NEVER go back here after an unforgettable altercation with their servers tonight.

Every time i go there the staff gets more inattentive. I end up waiting for the wait staff or having to flag someone down just to order... the last time i went i felt like i had to force them to take my money, i could have just walked out and they wouldn't have noticed since they are too busy playing around with each other.

Not your average diner. The rigatoni pasta lovers meal and the cappucini shakes are a must-try.

Must admit that their food is really great which is why I continue to order from them; however their service is horrible. Several times they have put me on hold and forgot that I am there, and then when they pickup, they are rude. They also can't get deliveries right. This is the 2nd time they have messed up and delivered my food to another building (street # was my apartment #). They really need to work on their customer service, b/c otherwise they will lose customers. No food is that good when you have to deal with this sort of incompetence.

So if you are looking for a diner that serves food equal to an upscale restaurant, then this is the place to go. I have been going to this diner since it opened. From late night after a bar, to early morning before work, I have always been happy by my experiences. Sure I have had maybe one bad meal, but speak up, because this greek diner will fix and address your complaint, and in the end you may be going home with a doggie bag for a memorable midnight snack. Sam is my favorite waiter, but all the staff, especially if you become a regular will greet you and make sure that your meal is perfect.

If you go to this dinner after 8:00pm they turn off their toaster oven. So if you want toast, they put it in the broiler where all the hamburger grease finds it's way over. It really amazes me that Renaissance Diner can't buy a toaster to use after dinner is over. Nothing worse than ordering eggs at midnight and getting toast that's not toasted that tastes like a cheeseburger!
