How often is hotel restaurant five star quality? I've got to say it's exception and not the rule. In fact, I typically skip hotel fare. I'm so glad that I tried out this unassuming little spot in the lobby of the Renaissance - Glendale. It is exceptional. The breakfast buffet for example, it doesn't look particularly fancy... But wow! The freshest ingredients. Beautiful fruit, delicious, crispy, waffles, awesome omelettes, perfectly prepared bacon. Just really solid and good... I was also pleasantly surprised by the crispy pork tacos on the lunch menu. So good...I ordered them two days in a row. Ohhh and the bar... Aaron, the bartender is amazing. His old-fashioned is outstanding!!! I travel a lot and I'm on the quest for the perfect old-fashioned. Aaron's is truly one of the best I've ever had. Best birthday drink EVERRRR! Moreover... He remembers you from one day to the next. That's pretty exceptional in a hotel bar with a steadily shifting clientele. Pleasant surroundings, great people, great location...I enthusiastically recommend Soleil. read more

Ate here after a tour of the facility. The menu is actually pretty creative. Being my second time the thing that is most glaring is the service. There doesn't seem to be much urgency or care to make sure the orders are taken correctly or in a timely manner. We had a party of 5 and two of the orders were completely incorrect. The food itself is actually good once you get it. I think this is a fine place if you are not able to leave the hotel. But you are at Westgate and steps away from every kind of restaurant and shopping you could want! read more

Soleil - Tex-Mex Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

We had free breakfast coupons so we ate breakfast here on two occasions. While the restaurant looked understaffed, our patience was rewarded. We tried 4 different menu items and all were good and a couple were so rich we couldn't finish. The interior was reminiscent of FLW, with cool doors and window decorations. Our server was harried but apologetic. A good choice for a hotel restaurant. read more

This restaurant is inside the Renaissance Hotel at the Westgate entertainment District. We decided to stay for a quick romantic getaway for the weekend and the best part is that the buffet for breakfast was included in our stay. I can't say if that is included in every package, however their romantic package that we chose it was definitely worth the price. We were greeted by a very friendly houses. Set down by a window with a great view and taking care of by a Friendlier server who directed us and gave us all the information we needed for the buffet as well as the several waffle and omelette stations. The atmosphere is very welcoming as well as very cozy. You don't feel as if you were in a crowded by Fais style restaurants. There's plenty of light from the windows on the side of the building. The buffet had everything you needed for a delicious breakfast. They had both options for vegetarians as well as meat eaters and I believe they also mention they had an option for vegan free and gluten-free. Several fruit chews options which I really appreciate it. My husband loved the omelette station and my homemade waffle station was perfectly delicious. It is absolutely a great amenities for when you don't want to leave the hotel and stay in the resort. We always have a schedule set for our romantic getaways. Sundays are usually for lounging by the pool and having breakfast in house or ordering room service. We will definitely be back to this great hotel in the center of Westgate and enjoy Our breakfast options within the resort. read more

Since the renovation it is now called Sage. The menu has changed and it used to be allergy friendly however it is no longer that way.

All you can eat breakfast for $17? Sign me up! The food was fresh and delicious! They have an omelette bar which was absolutely phenomenal! We will be eating here every morning on our vacation. read more

We hadn't been to Soleil at the Renaissance Hotel in a while, but decided to try it out, again. First of all, it's about 6:45 on a Saturday night, the place should be hopping and we were the only ones in there. We were seated by Therese, who was also our waitress. She was very nice, friendly and always had a smile on her face. The first thing we noticed, was the menu had completely changed since the last time we'd dined here. But, there were lots of interesting options, so we just went for it. We opened with some delicious appetizers, hubby got the street white sweet corn (which was 3 cobs that were grilled, and served with cilantro and a chipotle sauce). He loved them!! I got the lump crab spinach dip, which was soooo good! I ended up taking about half of it home, and plan on finishing it while watching a movie tonight. We also received house salads, that came with our meals. They were really tasty...and large. For our entrees, hubby got the ribeye, which was served with broccoli rabe, wasabi mashed potatoes and a chimichurri sauce. All that was left was the bone from the ribeye on his plate...I think he liked it! I got the braised and grilled spare ribs, which came with roasted garlic smashed potatoes and a five spice broth. OMG! The ribs literally fell off the bones, and had an amazing Asian flavor to them. The entire dish was so unexpectedly wonderful. I truly wasn't sure whether I'd like it, or not, but after tasting, I couldn't stop. Everything we had was so delicious, and it has a nice atmosphere. They truly need to advertise this restaurant, because there is no reason why it's empty on a Saturday night. I understand that Westgate is right outside its doors, but a hotel dining room should have some traffic. I hope more people give it a try, they may be pleasantly surprised! read more

My family has stayed at the Glendale Renaissance a few times and always enjoyed their restaurant for breakfast. We have always stuck with their breakfast buffet that is very good and has many food options to choose from. I am not sure of the exact price, as being a platinum member of Marriott does have the perk of getting two free breakfasts. If I am guessing, I think the price is around $12-14 a person and in my opinion it is worth it. The options are donuts, cheese blitzes, sausage, eggs, bacon, yogurt, fruit, cereal, granola, a staffed waffle station with all the fixings, and a staffed omelet station with all the fixings. I know I a missing items here but you get the point. Each time here the omelets and waffles are very good. Overall, when it comes to hotel dining, this is a worthy spot to dine for breakfast. read more

Pregame visit good polite fast service had the southwest Rueben with sweet potatoes fries. I was skeptical at first being it was in a lobby of the hotel. It was surprisingly good with quick service. Staff was very nice. read more

You expect in a hotel like the Rennaisance a restaurant that would have a menu choice and food quality that does not disappoint. You can see where this is going. We had tortilla soup. It was awful. We've lived in southern Arizona for 25 years and know what tortilla soup is. This was an over seasoned peppery broth with beans that were soft and disgusting. The menu was reduced for the week, we were told because of all the events they were having. The reduced sized menu was supposed to improve service and efficiency. It did neither. The hotel, wasn't much better. PS. We spend 60-70 days a year in hotels around the country. The Renaissance in Glendale is off our list. read more

Great location if you are going to Gila River Arena. Food ok but service was horrendous Had a reservation 3 hrs before a concert at Gila River. Restaurant only about 10% full. Waited 15 min then asked for water & drink menu, another 20+ min before drinks arrived Ordered dinner then waited over 45 min to be served also had to ask to get another bottle of wine & to have water refilled. Plenty of wait staff around & restaurant not that busy they just didn't seem to give a crap about the clientele read more

I am super disappointed with this restaurant. We picked it due to their four-star average rating but its completely on the other side of awesome. Our meal started off with some super stale chips and a pretty bland salsa. The guacamole with pomegranate seeds was pretty average, it just had no true flavor. I tried the chili lime and salt chicken wings. They were pretty dry so it was a good thing I had some ranch to drown them in. The appetizers were a disaster but we trudged through to the main course in desperation, hoping for redemption. We were let down worse than the potential world crashing from Y2K. Ordered 2 club sandwiches for the ladies. One with no tomatoes and one with white bread instead of whole-grain. Well guess what, they both got messed up. I ordered the Reuben and it was actually fairly decent so I can't complain too much but nothing else seem to go right for the rest of the dinner. The waitress wasn't too great at keeping up with her job especially considering there was only three parties in the entire restaurant and two of them left halfway through our meal. Our empty glasses of water were empty for just way too long. We informed her of the food mistakes (her mistake in taking our order) as well as the low-quality product delivered and she didn't offer to make anything right either. This restaurant was a complete let down for me and definitely does not live up to any four-star average ratings. read more

This is a strange review, since I never got eat there, but here's the story. To begin, I wanted to make reservations for dinner before a hockey game. But it turns out you can't call this restaurant directly ... the phone number is to the hotel switchboard instead. So, I called the hotel twice ... first time it rang endlessly, then I called back an hour later and was then put on hold for over 5 minutes. Then, they passed me to the restaurant where it just rang until I got voicemail saying that if I wanted to make a reservation to leave a message. Well, I did, and nobody called me back. Tried it again the next day with pretty much same result. Not sure if these guys are still in business, but clearly customer service is not their priority. Maybe it's a great restaurant (although I suspect not), but in any case not worth this hassle. read more

While staying at the Marriott Renaissance, I decided to grab a quick bite at Soleil. There are only a few minor issues with my experience. During the football season, they have a very limited menu on Sunday nights after the game. They did suggest that we call for 'In Room Dining' as they do have an expanded menu for the hotel guests. So instead of having a nice ribeye steak in a restaurant, I had to have it in my room. Okay, so they'll cook a couple of steaks to deliver to my room, but not to eat there? So off to my room I went. Upon ordering, I was told there was a 1 hour wait. Again, that was fine... I wanted a steak. 30 minutes later our food arrives. Hot, and with everything we could need... Almost. They did forget the creamy horseradish that I requested. Instead of waiting while my steak cooled off, I passed on asking the gentleman to bring some. The steak was perfectly cooked, however, the large amount of garlic butter on it killed the flavor of the beef. And it was not a Prime Grade cut. It was Choice. For the price, I would have expected a better grade of beef. Quite disappointing. I'd definitely think twice before doing that again. read more

Today we had Easter Brunch at Soleil. It was amazing! The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. The lobster bisque was the best we have ever had and it had huge pieces of lobster. All of the items were perfectly prepared. It is by far the best buffet experience for Easter Brunch that we have ever been to. We are very excited for our next visit to Soleil. read more

Decent place to have a quick lunch if you are attending an event at the hotel. Our server was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. The grilled cheese with tomato was tasty too! read more

We had the recent pleasure of dining at Soleil, the restaurant inside of the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa and wanted to share our experience. Menu: The menu has a lot of variety which is really nice. We could have ordered so many more things to eat because they all sounded so good! We dined here for dinner and were eyeing things for lunch on a future visit as well. We also were really impressed with the Asian influence on the menu in addition to and the Latin items, it really is a nice and diverse menu. We also really appreciated the high quality items such as Niman Ranch meats, free range eggs, and other ingredients from select sources. Ambiance: The restaurant was easy to find and we were greeted and seated by the very friendly hostess. The dining area was bright, colorful, and well maintained. The tables were clean and nicely set. Dining: We started off our meal for 2 with the Shrimp Kimchee Pancake and the Hoisin Pork Ribs. Both were outstanding! The Shrimp Kimchee Pancake arrived on a very hot cast iron skillet and we loved the crispiness it added to the pancake. The Hoisin Pork Ribs were very large and tender bones with the meat easily falling off with a fork and knife. For the main entrée, we ordered the Pan Roasted Niman Ranch Rib eye Steak and a New York steak. We have eaten at many steakhouses fine and casual and we both agreed that these steaks had the taste of the fine dining establishments at a less expensive price. Well flavored, great cuts, very tender and perfectly cooked to perfection! We loved the sides they came with, broccoli with carrots, parmigiana-reggiano truffle fries, sesame rice, and sautéed purple potatoes. To top off such a wonderful meal we shared the chocolate lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which was also sinfully delicious. The portion sizes are very generous. We could of shared easily shared the 20oz. ribeye just the two of us, but wanted to taste more items and are glad we did! We took part of our meal home for leftovers the next day (which still tasted fantastic even after some reheating!). Service: The staff was wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our water glasses were refilled frequently and we were checked on throughout the meal to see if we needed anything. You can definitely feel a sense of pride with the kitchen and the wait staff that works together making it such pleasurable dining experience. The food plates were nicely decorated and we enjoyed the presentation. Overall: We were extremely pleased to find this place! Not only is it great for travelers to dine at but it is also such a hidden gem for the locals! We highly recommend it. We would much rather dine here than at some of the large chain restaurants nearby. Keep up the good work and we look forward to returning with friends and family! read more

Lots of options for eating in the area - but this is by far the best option. Spent a week at the Renaissance, and had breakfast, lunch, and a late night dinner in the courtyard - and it was hands down the best meals I had all week, including plenty of stops at the nearby Westfield chain restaurants. read more

We had to plan a large group dinner on a Saturday night, which can be hard to do in this part of town. Thankfully Matt, the manager of Soleil, was happy to accommodate us. He helped us put together a custom that fit within our budget but still offered attendees several options. The service was excellent, and everyone enjoyed the food. The quinoa chile relleno and the chorizo halibut in particular got rave reviews. Overall, we had a great experience! read more

We decided to eat dinner at Soleil in the Renaissance Hotel before going to the Thursday Coyotes game. Soleil was closed but we sat at the bar and were able to order from the Soleil's menu. I had the Tavern Burger and my hubby had the BLT with egg. Both of our meals were delicious. We will definitely go there again. To make the experience even better the singer/guitarist playing in the lounge sang Happy Birthday to our granddaughter via FaceTime. The evening started off perfect with great food, friendly prompt service and great Happy Hour prices. read more

Food is excellent and drinks by Kim are phenomenal!! A little pricey but that's most restaurants in hotels.

Great food, decent prices but the stuff is what really made the whole experience perfect.

Had decent food but were completely unaware/unconcerned about the broken glass at our table that had happened that morning (we were eating at 10 at night). We found the first piece on the table then surrounding our table. After my step father cut himself on the broken glass shards on the bench we were given bandages and little else in way if sympathy or shame at suck a shoddy job of cleaning. read more
