Went to this restaurant with another couple. Met there. Food was great but service was not. Waitress was very green and not trained in fine dining. Atmosphere was wonderful. Filet Mignon was overcooked and waitress didn't know how to deal with it. Got owner involved and they were not helpful, friendly or willing to make it right. So disappointed because the food that did come out correct was excellent! Won't be back again, sorry to say. If they had made it right we would have been customers for life!

My wife and I took the train down from L.A., to dine here for our fifth anniversary. We were not disappointed. Everything was so tasty and FRESH. The mussels were the best we've ever had and we know mussels(perfectly seasoned, not overly cooked). The lobster special was very fresh and my wife loved the gnocchi (she's not a fan of gnocchi). The crispy salmon was pleasantly crispy and well balanced with the middle eastern flavors. My wife is in the culinary business herself, serving gourmet cuisine to high end clients, and she couldn't stop raving about Rendezvous on our way back to L.A. Our server Melissa was attentive,friendly and very knowledgeable, but was not a know-it all nor overbearing. And as she said, you can't go wrong no matter what you order. We'd go back just for the mussels. Every dining room is beautifully decorated. A wonderful dining experience.
Pros: Food, ambience, service
Cons: None...had to leave sometime
