    Jalapeno Crispy Brussel Sprouts
    Levette D.

    Enjoyed the Brussel sprouts. Service was great and the atmosphere is your traditional hotel restaurant. The spot was empty but the waitress was super nice and accommodating. I wish they had a few additional options on the menu.

    Salmon tacos

    This is such a hidden gem I never knew about! I've been coming to this hotel for years for various events and never knew how delicious this restaurant was. The manager Ethan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and he suggested the tacos. I got the salmon tacos and my friend got the beef tacos. The service was pretty quick overall and the pricing was not too bad either. Definitely a win! So glad we came here! Also, a huge thank you to Ethan for making our visit flawless and offer such stellar service!

    3 1/2 really... Hidden in Plantation inside the Renaissance Plantation Hotel, Bin 595 has a lot to offer. I don't think it gets a lot of attention from the locals and it's a shame. While the hotel looks ordinary from the outside in a sea of trees and corporate buildings, it is actually very charming inside. They really did a great job with it. The lobby spills unto the restaurant separated only by the hostess stand, a bar and a couple of planters. On this specific weekday, Opentable was offering 1000 points to dine here. Being an avid user meant this would be our choice for the night. I am very happy we went. We were greeted immediately and our table was serviced right away: menus, drinks and (hot) bread were promptly brought out. The menu was varied and had great selections. We sat in one of the many, extremely tall, private booths that are lined up taking up half the restaurant. They were very comfortable (but could use some throw pillows for added ease and comfort). We took our time studying the menu and decided to start with the CAPRESE FUSION SALAD. This was delicious. Our entrees of choice were the SEAFOOD MEDLEY PASTA and the FLORIDA YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER. At first, I was considering the pan seared WILD king salmon because of the "wild" part. Our waiter said " well, everything we offer is caught wild". I thought that was odd. If true, that's great and should be noted on the menu. But it wasn't added which leads me to believe that everything else is farmed. So which is it? Both entrees were very good. The jasmine rice that came with my fish was completely cold. It took no longer than 3 minutes from the time I mentioned it to the waiter to me having a piping hot, brand new bowl with new rice to make up for it. That was greatly appreciated. For dessert we ordered the DULCE DE LECHE CHOCOLATE. It was good but was lacking "dulce de leche". The drizzle and little bit that it had tasted like "caramel" (which is not the same). I'm not sure why they would add it to the dessert name and not use 1- the real deal and 2- enough of it. Overall, service was great and we were happy with our dinner. The restaurant has a corporate and touristy flair to it. I can see this becoming a Plantation staple for locals especially given the lack of fine dining around here. Bin 595 offers that. The ambience was promising although it was missing something and I can't put my finger on exactly what that something is. I will give them another try in the near future though.

    Creole Dijon Salmon with spinach and potatoes
    Shikira H.

    My first day back to work at our beautiful Plantation office, which is walking distance from the Renaissance Hotel. The boss treated us to lunch in this eloquently decorated lobby. A modern contemporary look, very classy and elegant. However the food was not as spectacular as the ambiance and the service - just sub-par. A party of 13 was treated like a party of 30. Our two waiters were friendly up until 2 of my co-workers turned away their orders. One complained that their steak was too 'smelly' and my other (pregnant) co-worker requested the Cuban sandwich with no mustard and still received it smothered with it. It was a little disheartening to notice our pregnant co-worker eating last. They took forever to bring her sandwich and didn't offer anything to her for the wait. I opted for their hummus appetizer and the Dijon Salmon with spinach and potatoes. The hummus was very tasty. I could've eaten 2 servings of that alone and be quite satisfied. The salmon was cooked surprisingly perfect and the Dijon dressing was delicious but the bed of spinach was just extremely salty. Another co-worker ordered their burger and it was so dry she couldn't even finish half of it. The group ordered some desserts to go; Chocolate Cake, New York Cheesecake and Key Lime pie. I didn't have any but all were voted as disappointments as well by the group. All in all, this place isn't that great for sit down dinner but I would return to the bar and have some more hummus. Future review soon to come once I've tasted their cocktails...stay tuned

    This was the best food during the entire trip! Right in the hotel, it's very cute with intimate booths and tables so you can have private conversations. I noticed that this is also where they serve the breakfast buffets in the morning. Giving this 4 stars because it appeared that there is a select menu to choose from as opposed to offering anything. I was very pleased with dinner and our waitress was pleasant and accommodating.

    Chicken for lunch
    Danielle R.

    Oh man skip this place. My friend got married at this hotel, so the Friday before her wedding we decided to have lunch here b/c it was easy (so we thought) and the menu looked good (provided your food is actually cooked). Oh what a mistake, oh what a debacle, oh what a hot mess, oh lordie me, BAD idea! What's sad is I live close by to this hotel and this restaurant and I endeavor never to return. Our waitress greeted us... then ran away (she did this alot), when she came back we asked her for some menus...dah! Then she took our "water" order and disappeared again. When she came back we were ready to order our celebratory wine, we placed our order...and then she was gone again. After about 10 mins (mind you we haven't ordered food yet) she came back placed the bottle of wine down, dropped off the kids' sodas, and stared at us. So we did the next logical thing and asked her for some ...oh I don't know WINE GLASSES.....and probably some silverware would be helpful too. Time check- 25 mins in to being sat now. We ordered the kids' food b/c they were hungry and then we lost her.... again. After about 40 mins of being here we were able to get wine glasses and place our adult lunch orders....whoohooo!!!! Food came out about 20 mins later and she forgot one of the meals (a turkey burger) at the table. She didn't even remember what it was... so someone else came out and retook the order, they did indeed bring her a starter salad so she could munch on something while she waited. The burger came out.... about 8 mins later and when she cut into it ...it was RAW, as RAW could be, pink and bleeding raw...now this is turkey not beef.....no bueno. We flagged someone down, sent the bloody turkey back, and told the lady no need to re-do it our friend is now full (we all gave her bites of our lunches and by this time she was satiated). Check finally comes....guess what else comes.. yet another turkey burger. DOH! At this point, there's nothing to do but laugh b/c this place is such a mess. Did I mention when we got there, we were the only table? Did I mention when we left about 2 hours later, we were 1 of 3 tables (one of the other 2 was in town for the wedding staying at the hotel making the same mistake we did). YIKES

    I flew into Fort Lauderdale late Sunday evening and made it to the Renaissance hotel fifteen minutes before the dining room - Bin 595 -closed. I've worked in the food service industry before, so I know how horrible it is to have some schmuck walk in at the last minute and start ordering like you just opened. However, both the hotel and restaurant staff were incredibly gracious and thought nothing of it. I really enjoyed the selections on the menu, and ended up selecting the filet mignon. (I'd say you can't go wrong with that dish, but time has proven that an incorrect assumption.) I had a drink to hand within minutes and the food arrived perfectly cooked in short order as well. The filet was cooked just as ordered, and the vegetables delicious - and I don't usually dig my veggies. My waiter, Rory, was on the spot with anything I needed: a casual efficiency that is the hallmark of a great waiter/waitress. Kudos to Bin 595 for making a hotel restaurant experience worthwhile and not simply making it a fall-back option for a captive audience too tired to manage going elsewhere. It's a destination whether you stay at the Renaissance or not.
