Renzo's Carrollwood

My family of 6 did a random yelp search for a restaurant we have never been to and settled on this establishment. The service was appropriately prompt for the amount of patrons inside. The owners have made great use of the small yet spacious space with selective art and color combinations to make this place have an upscale feel and ambiance. The food was cooked to our desired taste and the flavors were amazing. We order the Parilla all beef and Renzos. The boys and I we super hungry so no pictures. I will be back so I'll update with pictures and final review.

The owner of the carrollwood location... he needs to learn proper customer service. He knows exactly why this review is going on here. You don't walk up to a customers table, stare them down & continuously stare at them from across the restaurant.Just because your cooks didn't cook either steak appropriately. Be mad at your cooks not your customers. Then after the customer comes up to you to confront you for your actions, you threaten to call the cops on the customer. This after you were trying to be mentally and verbally aggressive toward us. Telling us you will never serve us again and we are not allowed back at your restaurant.WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!! You did. Unimaginable. I cannot even believe this happened. It was so unreal. Trying to have a nice and enjoyable steak dinner, when the steaks comes out well done, we asked for a new steak, medium rare again.. the second steak comes back out rare like an ahi tuna steak. I understand it's your business and steaks are expensive but YOUR COOKS were the ones to blame here not your customers.We will never step foot here & we will continue to tell people about this baffling & unacceptable experience.

ZERO STARS! NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE WE EVER BEEN TREATED THIS WAY at a restaurant. Tried to come to this restaurant to have a nice family dinner when we had family in town. 10 people.THE OWNER THREATENED US after my husband had to send his steak back 2 times because he ordered medium rare.. 1st time they brought it to the table it was well done. 2nd time they bring it to the table it was rare like freaking ahi tuna.THE OWNER & all the staff stared & sat there talking about us. Then the owner had the balls to come stand at our table & stare at my husband. He then made a face at him and then walked away. He then went & sat back down & continued to talk about my family. My husband went to ask them what was that all about & the owner then told him they will never serve us again & that my family is not allowed back at their restaurant. The owner then threaten to call the cops on my husband.Like what did we actually do? We didn't cook the steak incorrectly. His workers did. This isn't even it. The soda was bad/flat. The mixed vegetables were terrible & bad/spoiled. I had asked for a refill & never got it. I'm then had to use my husbands extra water.Then before we get our bill the guy and his wife left. The poor waitress who wasn't even ours had to come up & apologize for all of it. All she said was sorry. Had no explanation for any of it. All the bill had was my husbands steak taken off.The OLD MAN OWNER & his wife, threatened my family that we are never allowed here. WE NEVER COMPLAINED. We didn't say anything we just wanted a medium rare steak. UNBELIEVABLE. In front of my two young children and family visiting. Do not go here and support an individual/restaurant who does things like this!! Absolutely unacceptable. BBB is getting a letter as well.

Four adults and three young ones popped in on a spur for dinner. We were quickly seated on a Friday night as the place was less than half full. Although in a strip mall, the interior was fairly upscale. Service was good, we were looked after well. The menu is extensive, with everything from top of the line steaks, to sandwiched and salads. I wish they offered some bread before dinner, as the young ones were pretty hungry when we arrived. The food came out fairly quickly and piping hot. The steaks were very good; and Paella was pretty good. Pricing seemed a bit high, but that may just be me.

Stopped here today to finally check it out. We were seated right next to the dry aging cooler. I was drooling over these amazing rib eyes and Porter houses. As well they have a whole selection of in house made sausages which you can get on a charcuterie plate. I decided to try the ceviche plate. It was delicious and offered a good selection of seafood and fried sweet plantains. My dish was an appetizer since I wasn't wanting a big meal. I was happy with my selection and would recommend it. I do plan to come back and try a steak. I will say our two small plates along with two empanadas which were nice. Our bill was over $50 . A little pricey for what we had but it was good and the service was very good. Just expect to drop well over $100 dollars to come here for a couple of steaks along with a bottle of wine. Maybe we can come back for m bday.

We came in for lunch on a quiet afternoon when they weren't too busy. We ordered the meat special as well as an appetizer. Our main course and salad came out which was pretty good but nothing too amazing. The server forgot to put our appetizer in which was fine we had plenty of food. Not sure that I'd be in a rush to go back. Nothing wow'ed me.

We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. It is a great Brazilian steakhouse that has aged some of their steaks and has a great selection of wines. It is a classy and cozy ambiance. The servers are attentive and give great recommendations. We started with a beef empanada and a ham and cheese empanada. I got the steak salad for my entree. The empanadas were fresh and quite tasty especially with their chimichurri sauce. The steak salad was fantastic. It was simple , but so satisfying and the steak was cooked as I requested at medium rare. I look forward to coming back and trying other items.

Honestly just not good food or service, ordered a filet mignon, medium well and it came well done , which normally is do-able but it tasted as if it was cooked earlier and reheated in a microwave, it was so dry and chewy , my asparagus was cold and the rice tasted like one minute microwave rice with frozen peas. But when we told the waitress she started to argue with us (we didn't ask for our money back but just explained the food was not very good when she asked us) and she argued , not to mention I just thought it was weird our wine came in mason jars and not wine glasses? Typically I go Renzo's on Kennedy but they didn't have reservations for today, would not recommend this location at all.

The restaurant itself was cute but the food was not worth it. The service as well was not that great, as the server did not even ask if me and my friend who accompanied me wanted more wine. I ordered the milanesa with a side of yellow rice. The milanesa was good but the rice was definitely not. The rice was close to Uncle Ben's microwavable rice. I probably would never return back here.

It was my first time trying Renzo's and I definitely will be visiting again. I ordered the steak salad and an order of tostones and both were fantastic! Sometimes the steal that restaurants put on their salads is the worst cut and it has lots of fat & grissle but this was NOT like that! The steak was juicy & tender & cooked perfectly medium. Be sure to ask for the garlic & herb dipping sauce for the tostones as it is truly delicious! The salad was a generous portion and the dressing was a fantastic accompaniment. I am excited to try more menu selections.
