My manager got the prime rib and was floored by the "petite" size--it was huge! The hospitality here is top-notch. Our server was incredibly nice. My manager ordered a beer while I went for a root beer. At one point, the server started listing off their beer selection, and I had this look like, "Man, he's really selling me on the beers!" I repeated that I wanted root beer, and we all had a good laugh. This place absolutely deserves 5 stars! Highly recommend.

Will miss this place- we've been coming here before we were married. Good luck to all the staffread more

The draft beer menu is extensive, and Hannah took the time to walk us through it and identify beers that we might like, offering tasters for each recommendation. The deep-fried green beans also earned a 5-star rating, in my opinion much tastier than most french fried potatoes. The vibe is laid back and homey. There is enough space between the tables so that you can hear each other rather than your neighbors. What's this I hear about open-mic comedy nights? We'll be back!

Got bulgogi tots that was amazing, sauce and pickles that were topped went so well with the fried tots and bulgogi! I ordered the Garlic Noodles with chicken and this was soooo good! Super garlicky, chicken was nice and grilled/crispy and overall delicious! Vibes were amazing and I would come back again!

I remembered Salty Blue was on my list and they had a front patio, so that was THE CHOICE! We found a small table for two right outside their window, just in the shade- perfect for me and my husband. I ordered the cod (battered) fish and chips, I wanted to go simple my first time. When it arrived at the table, it was a huge piece of fish sitting atop plenty of fries! The crispy batter stayed on the fish as I ate- a big plus. I enjoyed it with malt vinegar and an incredible sauce full of dill, and I LOVE dill. The fries were good but slightly soggy, maybe from the fish sitting on top, perhaps I'll immediately push them to the side next time. My husband got the grilled Mahi Mahi with chips. It looked beautiful and he said it tasted wonderful, even without any sauce or condiments. The servers came outside to check on us a couple times, which was much appreciated! We had our meals with a cold pint of beer each and just loved having delicious food while relaxing in the warm air on a sunny day. One of my favorite things about the food is that you can choose to have your fish & chips either grilled or battered and either with fries or salad. Fantastic for those days when you want something on the lighter side. The menu also has so many other items I'd like to try. Definitely will be back!

Red House in downtown Renton never misses…read more I've been here multiple times and the consistency is honestly what keeps me coming back -- great service, amazing food, every single time. Plus, lots of free parking (huge win for DT Renton). The space itself is quirky in the best way -- cozy, charming, and just feels good to be in. We ordered the Crispy Pork Shank and WOW. So tender and flavorful, and that creamy mushroom orzo + rosemary cream combo is unreal. Also had the Bleu Cheese & Caramelized Onion Steak Frites -- perfectly cooked, rich, and super satisfying with those fries. Drinks were on point too -- solid beer on tap and a really good Cabernet. Service was incredible -- attentive, friendly, and just overall made the experience even better. Food: AMAZING Service: AMAZING Vibes: Cozy + quirky perfection Red House stays on my favorites list.

We were immediately intrigued because it is a popular recommended spot, and it has a genuinely warm, welcoming atmosphere since the restaurant is inside an actual house. Our server was wonderful, being very patient and giving us great recommendations since it was our first time. We ended up ordering the Korean chicken wings along with a special they were running: a cranberry brie sandwich with sweet potato fries. We also both ordered their raspberry mule, which paired well with the meal. Because we enjoyed everything so much, we decided to get dessert. Tip: make sure you ask what the options are, as we couldn't find them on the menu. Overall, this was a great dinner spot. There is plenty of parking right out front, and everyone we met during our stay was kind and respectful. I will definitely be coming back during the summer!

Although we sat at the bar, we still got to have a very nice view of Lake Washington, which certainly went a long way. Overall noise wasn't too bad. Sure, some conversations got loud, but it's Saturday, the World Cup is going on and everyone is just enjoying their weekend. While loud, it wasn't disruptive. Bartender serving us was very attentive and provided most wonderful service this evening. She was very kind and while social, still tended to guests accordingly and swiftly, which was also appreciated. The Pork Chop and the Salmon were wonderful, savory and tasted great! But the Fries really took it home and were very filling. Hope to come back for more in the future!

The food was great, I had a large slider and some clam chowder and my friend had a large slider with some brussel sprouts. However, the service was terrible. There were 3-4 servers behind the bar, but it took us around 15 minutes to even get one of them to acknowledge us. They did have a small crowd, but nothing outrageous. The servers were obviously busy, but they ignored our efforts to be helped and 3 other couples got served who sat down after us. When we left, there was only a few people left in the bar, and the servers had turned over. The new bartender/server also ignored us. He finally acknowledged our existence when we asked for the check. Of course the bill was incorrect and included extra items that we did not order. We left and went to the receptionist to get parking validation. Apparently the free parking is only 2 hours free, we were there for a little more than 2 hours. So, we paid the extra cost and left. That area of Renton is super cute. Unfortunately, we wont return because we can find similar offerings in the area with free parking and better service.
