My husband, 3 year old daughter and I ate at Renegade last nite with another couple. We hade been meaning to go for months and I am glad we finally made it. I am always a little aprehensive to go to a new place with my daughter since I never know if the atmosphere would be good for kids or not. Is this a place you can let your kids run around in? No However, they have a greta kids menu and give the kids a cactus coloring sheet and crayons. The atmosphere has a good vibe and a nice buzz. (I don't frequent quiet places with my 3 year old so this was great).
The restaurant is really beautiful. I was surprised how busy it was at 6:30 (full, as was the bar)
We had a variety of dishes starting with the green chili pork stew and tortillas as an appetizer. This was amazing! I could seriously go back for dinner again and have this as my meal. Everyone loved it.
Other dishes we had:
* Filet Mignon - This had great flavor and was a good cut of meat. The mashed potatoes that came with it were just OK (I am picky when it comes to these)
* Burger - HUGE. way too big to eat without a knife and fork. It was REALLY good. I am not a big sauce person and I even liked the sauce that came on it (maybe a chipotle mayo or something like that) Skinny fries were delish.
* Green chili mac and cheese - this was soooooo yummy! You can actually order a small side. We did just to taste it and I am glad we did. Really yummy and the texture was great with the combo of soft noodles and toasty bread crumbs.
* Caesar salad - fresh, crips greens - a little (just enough) garlic. This was topped with jalapeno croutons and they were great.
* Pot Roast - I didn't try it but my friend loved it
* Roasted Chicken - Again, didn't try this but it got rave reviews. I saw several people eating this while we were there as well.
* Bread pudding - this was really great - and it has some sort of rare mushroom in it that gives it the caramel/maple flavor. yum!
* My daughter had the vanilla ice cream (I wasn't sure if it was ice cream or gelato but it was home made and delish!)
We will definitely be back to Renegade.
