I've dined here semi-regularly since they opened and, sadly, this last visit has made me question…read morewhen I'll return. I can overlook certain service things like water and cutlery not arriving right away because it was one person taking care of all the tables and it was surprisingly full at 1:30 pm on a Thursday. With the space so packed, it's abundantly clear how inaccessible it is. Even as a fairly thin person, I had to squeeze between tables and chairs to get to my seat or use the bathroom. If you have a stroller or wheelchair, dining here is virtually a lost cause. The food has really been the draw for me in the past. But this time, the eggs on my eggs benedict were more medium (i.e. less runny yolk) and the dish felt too rich overall. The pastas were good, but I question the side of cranberry toast with a bolognese or creamy mushroom sauce. I want to continue loving this place, I really do. But honestly there's better brunch spots around.

They were busy as usual and we were at the end of our meal. I went to the bathroom, my husband was still at the table, paying the bill. When I came back, he had my purse and jacket in his hands and was at the door. The boss lady didn't event wait for me to come back to the table before she kicked us out. It just didn't feel right. I know they were busy, but we were there first, didn't skimp on ordering a full meal and we were not dawdling. We had actually made a reservation. We will not be back for a while. Too bad because we miss the food. We will be looking for alternative places to dine in where we are valued customers.

Rens Cafe is a beautiful dinner spot with a glass-ceiling indoor terrace that fills the space with…read moresoft natural light and creates a relaxed, airy atmosphere. I ordered the mixed mushrooms with glass noodles from the main dishes menu (one of the few vegetarian options available). It's a simple stir-fry--fragrant garlic, mushrooms, and silky glass noodles. Nothing overly complicated, but comforting and satisfying in its own way. At first, it feels quite understated, almost plain-looking, but it grows on you with every bite. The little chilli sauce on the side is what really elevates everything. A bold mix of green chilli, garlic, ginger, and lime juice--it completely wakes up the dish and turns each bite into something bright and punchy. It honestly made me realize how much I miss ginger in everyday cooking. The stir-fry is a bit oily, but it seems intentional, helping keep the glass noodles from clumping and giving them that smooth, glossy texture. My only wish is that there were more plant-based options on the menu--because the space and flavours here really deserve a stronger vegetarian selection.

(Normally they don't have space for big parties). I had the Bun Rieu (tomato crab soup). It is so amazing. The flavour is so rich, full of tomato.

Every time I come here there are probably 10 things I could easily order off the menu. Can't go wrong coming here! Everyone else loved their food as well.
