"With its bustling energy and reputation as a vibrant destination, the Renaissance at Colony Park is the ideal location for us to plant our roots in the area. Guests can enjoy their meal on our unique outdoor dining patio that overlooks a beautiful green space, perfect for picnics with family and friends."
