While waiting for them to open, I consulted my handy Yelp app for its reviews and menu. The menu here is almost mirrors some of the same features that Envy serves in some ways, Envy is much better! With the Renaissance hotel being so comfortable and having so many wonderful seating areas we decided to eat in the lobby area by the couches when our meal came. The staff of the restaurant is super friendly. Upon first glance of the restaurant the bar area looks so very clean and has such a wide selection of liquor choices. The food on the menu all sounds great too! So many hard choice of what to order. \n\nNow with the ordering out of the way time to reflect on the pony court and the recent panels we just came from. The waiter that took our order was very busy and his reach of guests and service to them is extensive. Most of those in attendance to Grill 55 today are those from the pony universe. I am so glad that the Pony Con was held here at the Renaissance just for the royal dining choices that one has to select from. \n\nWe finally decided on the Grilled Steak Sandwich for lunch with the onions held. The side that we chose was french fries. We will eat healthy tomorrow. To pair with the steak wine a Riesling I thought would compliment the steak. The Riesling is a Chateau de Michelle and it went perfectly with the steak.\n\nWhen I finally received my steak sandwich is was so delicious looking and displayed so well on the plate. The steak was so tender that I could pick it up and eat it without having to cut it. The seasonings that were used made the steak so much tastier. The Cheddar was a nice change for a topping too for me, since usually I swing towards the white cheeses such as feta and mozzarella. Deciding to live a little for desert we selected the Toasted Pound Cake. At first mention it has strawberries so I am all in on that. The hand whipped cream was such the cherry on top and a great way to end lunch."^^ . "5"^^ .
