Renaissance Bistro

BREA. With this attractive restaurant's proximity to Brea Mall, it's not surprising that it makes a popular lunch destination for shoppers. In late afternoon, the patio is often packed with young professionals taking in the balmy weather and enjoying a Peroni or Tuscan wine. Specialty entrees include scaloppini gorgonzola on garlic mashed potatoes, grilled rosemary-and-garlic chicken, and black pepper-crusted tuna with fresh tomato-basil salsa.
