Their meals were outstanding! We love love love The Renaissance! Unfortunately my mother-in-law couldn't get along with her neighbor so it was her problem, not the communities, but we decided to move her out. We're still sad that it didn't work out.

The place is well run and very nice. I feel comfortable leaving my wife there. It is a little pricey, but generally first-class.
