We stumbled upon Red's by searching wine on Yelp near Kent. The owner was personable, gave us tips on wine and told us about recent high profile visitors. The wine selection offered and my wine were both great, and I tried the red velvet cake cup, which was delish! The rest of the staff we encountered seemed to really enjoy their jobs, which was refreshing. If I were in the area again, this would be on my list of must stops. read more

We went to Reds for the second time last night and had a great time with friends. We were with a pretty large group (8 people) but there was plenty of room for us. It was Saturday and there was a string duet playing which was a very nice ambiance while we were visiting. We had just eaten dinner so did not try any food, but the menu items that I saw come out for other tables looked delicious. I ordered the Crisp & Clean flight which was 3 white wines. I enjoyed them all. It was $12.50 for the flight which I thought was reasonable. It would be nice if they carried a flight that had a mix of red and white wines - I didn't see one like that on the menu. My fiancé doesn't care doe wine and he enjoyed the beer selection they have too. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and kept our waters and wine glasses filled. He also seemed knowledgable about lots of wines. Reds is the perfect place to come after dinner or a movie in Kent Station. read more

My favorite spot in Kent, and probably even the South Sound. Good eats are the chicken penne pasta and any of the burgers. They have a ton of events here (wine tastings, trivia, paint and sip). They bring a wine maker once a week! They have an affordable wine club too. Service and atmosphere are top notch! read more

Minus the lack of any originality in the name of the establishment, this wine bar (with a handful of craft beers) is actually a worthwhile visit. They have a good selection of Vinos, and I saw that many people came just for the dining (food) portion as well. The manager is an extremely graceful host, and he'll do his rounds to check in, explain the types of wine to your palette, etc. It is loud inside, the acoustics of the building has some amplifying effect so you'll want to sit closer to your company than not. The outside seating was all taken, because obviously it was the best seats in the house. The only thing that was weird was that we came right before 6 pm and was handed their happy hour menu by the server, to which the manager took it away right after checking in with us because it was 6 pm on the dot. Way to be a tease! I ordered the Mr. Smooth's Choice flight and the Reds platter. I only enjoyed the Pinot Noir out of the three, which is weird because I love Merlot, Bordeaux, and earthly flavored wines. The Reds Platter was perfection. read more

If I could get this less than one star I would. We came in tonight on a Friday at 10 o'clock they decided to close early even though this site and the signs state 12am and informed us that they didn't have any food because they let the cooks go because it was slow and we were told "we don't want to rush you out though , but we're going to close up right now we can get you a quick glass of wine." I don't know about anyone else but i'm not going to down a glass of wine. Well it was my first and last visit to this bar. read more

We came with our 2 kids under 10 and I made sure to call ahead to make sure the restaurant was kid friendly (since it's called 'wine bar'). Yes, kid friendly so we got there around 1 on a Saturday. There was one other table occupied, otherwise totally empty. Waitress was very friendly and sweet. Menu is short and simple, dare I say a little too short? We ordered the bacon jam burger, chicken pesto papparadelle and the pork tacos (see photos). The food was good, but slightly overpriced (for example the burger was $16, really should have been a few bucks less). We went there with a Groupon and I could see it being fun for HH, but any other time I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Great place, food and staff. Always fun and try the Halibut! So good... Nice selection of wines. read more

This was my first visit to Reds and I definitely will be back. The pours on their wine flights are generous and a great price. We had hamburgers served on a crunchy fresh bun and very tasty fries. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. I now have a nearby go to spot when visiting my parents in Kent. read more

Sooooooo good. Every time we go to my boyfriends parents in auburn I will make it a point to come here!

I've not gone in for a very long time but thought why not, I love the truffle popcorn and a great glass of Merlot. I thought after a long day of business on this side of the hill and since it was close I'd go shake the dust off the day. Slow service was a big one for me but damn music started and listening to some guy sing and off key as well, was my cue to drink up and get out. Sorry, there used to be some decent music in there but I won't be back. read more

We didn't eat food here so I'm just reviewing the place. The decor was nice and the menu looked pretty good. The service was pretty bad though. The bartender basically ignored us for a good bit of time before she acknowledged us and even then didn't smile at all she was very unfriendly. I probably wouldn't go back here - plenty of other places to get a nice glass of wine with good service. read more

This was my first time here but not my last I am sure. Nice decor, great service. Ordered the mushroom bruschetta, it was incredibly delicious and rich. read more

Gave this place a try. Ordered the Garlic Shrimp Liguini with broccoli, tomato, parsley, and parmesean cheese. Requested extra creamy. Dish came with no sign of anything but liguini, steamed shrimp without seasoning, broccoli, and forensic signs of garlic. Cream sauce nonexistent. What appeared to be an attempt at a sauce was a quarter cup of skim milk. No sign of salt or pepper. To save this dish I suggest tossing it in your skillet, add butter, cream, garlic, parm cheese, and top with freshly ground pepper and salt. The guitar player was excellent. I always return to hear good music. read more

So good! This is a wine bar, but it's never snobby. Lots of reasonably-priced vino, both to drink and for sale. Fancy stuff, too, if you're feeling prosh or are looking for a gift. They stock a fairly even split of local and world wines, which I really appreciate. Beer selection is quality, but very limited (3-4 taps?). The owners are usually somewhere around, and they just love to chat and give you down-to-earth recommendations based on your tastes and wine experience. When I stopped in for the first time, management was telling me that they really wanted to pull in customers from the college campus upstairs. To this end, the food is great, inexpensive and ample in portion, and they have free wifi. They used to have some great sofas next to the fireplace, but I haven't seen them lately: probably a testament to the startling success of their live music nights (think good KMTT cover bands). I've been to some tastings, and they are self-paced and really lovely. I'm guessing their new classes are much the same. read more

We had a Christmas party here several years ago, the service and atmosphere were great, we had a fun time. Not the case this time around. The server and hostess were rude, no attention to our table, and made our group seem like we were not wanted there. No introduction from the server either, took about 20 minutes to get drinks out to the table, drinks started coming out after the food. You would think for a large group they would be a little more prepared to serve and cater to our reservation, but we all felt like they couldn't wait until we were gone. The only good part was the food. The kitchen did a great job, everything tasted great. read more

This place is amazing!! Me and my husband's favorite date night. Delicious food, great wine, and great service. We love their changing menu, wine tasting and manager. It's the best, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a night out at Red's! read more

My wife and I venture here frequently to take break from the hustle and bustle of life. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Tim begins the bar is amazing and very attentive. Happy hour is always a great idea here with 5$ glasses of wine. Perfect pours and good times await. read more

I was really impressed with my most recent visit to Reds. I was torn between a flight of wines and a glass of champagne, and when I asked my waitress what she would recommend, she suggested the champagne without hesitation. It was the right choice. Although I eat mostly vegan at home, I stick to a vegetarian diet while I'm out at restaurants for a greater variety. Even then, I'm used to having only one or two items to choose from, especially in the suburbs. I asked the waitress, who happened to be a vegetarian herself, about my options, and she was excited to tell me about the changes they've made to their menu. They used to have a disappointing selection for vegetarians, but they recently swapped out all their cheeses for varieties that don't contain animal rennet. This gave me about half the appetizer list and two entree options to choose from on their reasonably small menu. I didn't have a large appetite, so I chose the mushroom bruschetta to compliment my champagne, which was a great, light balance between sweet and dry--another recommendation from the staff. After having such a great experience, I was sad to see how dead this place was on a weekend evening (Sunday). If we want to see less chain restaurants in Kent and more awesome businesses like Reds, then we need to be intentional about supporting them. I'll definitely be back! read more

I absolutely love coming here! Have had wonderful experiences with the wine, food and atmosphere. This is an amazing place to come to for a friend date, date, mom and daughter date... Pretty much can make up any excuse to go try it out. They have a huge selection of wines by the bottle and Tim is more than helpful if there is something in particular that you are looking for! Did I mention the food is great?! read more

I love this place more than I have ever loved any restaurant ever. The manager, Kevin, is SO sweet. My friend and I have dinners often and he is always so good at recommending new wines for us. The atmosphere of this place is so welcoming and it my favorite place to dine after a long week! read more

This is the place! I was given the almost impossible task to find a venue in Kent Station for a private party - Jeremy came to the rescue! He was he patient, full of suggestions, and so accommodating. Even when we came in for a tasting he was so full of information and made us feel at home. Everyone was so impressed with the food, the ambiance, and the wine and beer - I am sure we recruited some new customers! If you ever want a place to chill out and reboot with some amazing food, great wine and beer and a relaxing atmosphere, Red's is it! read more

While we did have to wait a tad after our initial order (it was busy and staffing seemed low), the manager was extremely nice and attentive. Great selection of wines, and the food is great, too. The menu leans Italian, and they did go out of their way to special cook an item for a friend with severe food limitations. They have live music, wine tasting classes, and other social events. I'm a fan and will go back soon. A neat little place. read more

Have been here twice now and Very pleased. I love the atmosphere! I love the fact that there is a Pay it forward on the wall! You don't see businesses or most this day and age doing it. Great customer service, great good, happy hour. I have not a so glad complaint. Also they are Very well known for remembering your drink, your name, your choice of food. Who doesn't love that kind of service? read more

We were underwhelmed overall. The service was mediocre. The food took an hour to be served and it was told there was only one cook. Maybe have more staff for a Saturday night. A glass of beer was $15.00 and the food wasn't amazing. We would not return and it's to bad because we used the passport card and we could get buy one get one free and even with that we would not go back. read more

Red's Wine Bar, Kent, WA. - Went to geeks here tonight. Very nice atmosphere for a wine bar. My husband ordered an Oktoberfest beer, which he said was amazing. I didn't have any wine this trip, but their selection seemed nice. We had the truffle popcorn, which was pretty heavenly. We also split the bacon jam burger, which I was hesitant on because bacon jam sounded odd. Don't let that fool you, it was probably in my top 5 burgers of all time. Damn delicious!! The place was very welcoming. The two waitresses were not super attentive, but they were friendly. The man that was helping us was super attentive, quick, and extremely welcoming. If we were from around here we would definetly come back. The whole Kent landing area was very nice and peaceful. We went to Geeks Who Drink here, and it was a ton of fun. Great evening. read more

Warm, charming wine bar. Located in the heart of Kent, WA, Reds Wine Bar is a wonderful, laid-back and delectable establishment worth a side trip for a brew or a fun tasting experiment. The attentive staff, led by Katherine, were very helpful and suggested tastey beverages that did not disappoint. We had the truffle popcorn to start and never looked back. Do yourself a favor and pop in for an adult beverage or artfully crafted meal and you will not regret it. read more

This place is only a month old....I discovered it last night after an email hint from one of my neighbors. Reds has only been open for one month and when I walked in the place was thriving! on a Tuesday night at that! I was instantly impressed. It's a bit tricky to find since its on the backside of Kent Station, but well worth the search. When you walk in you get a warm cozy feel, there's even a fireplace and sofa to cuddle up on if you want. They have a few walls of wine options if you choose to buy a bottle. Most of which are not on their menu. I got a cab flight and a red blend flight (both not on the menu). For food Nick (the owner) suggested the cheese and meat platter (not on menu yet), spinach and orzo salad and the flat bread. The Orzo was excellent and so were the cheese and meats. The flat bread with mozzarella and marinara was good, but I expected more of a flat flat bread instead of toasted slices. It was cool to see that they even had a beer sampler. I'm not a big beer person, but I was tempted to try it. Maybe one day. The people are friendly, the atmosphere was just right and most importantly the food and wine were good. I even saw a few bottles on the wall of some excellent choices I've had before. It's obvious that this place is still going through a lot of start up changes (good changes). Like adding things to their menu and wine list. It's definitely going to be a hit and a must try if you're in the south end. It's going to give Vino at the Renton Landing a run for their money for sure. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the prices are very affordable. Great Job! I'm sold and definitely will be back. read more

Found Stella Rosa at Cost Plus World Market for only $13.00 They also have Sweet Bliss for $7.99 and at this bar it costs around $21 Drink here if you don't mind paying a lot of money for the ambience, live music, and great wait staff. read more

Went to Reds Wine Bar for lunch. Awesome wine selection but alas it was a a working lunch so just water. Had the BBQ Chicken Salad. Great salad, nice portion and priced EXTREMELY reasonable. Staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Definately will repeat and hopefully outside of working hours.. the Wine Tasting sounds like an awesome time ! read more

I just tried this place about a week ago - pretty cool atmosphere. Love the bar area and staff was very friendly/courteous. Only had a couple of drinks and the 'meat/cheese' platter - it wasn't bad, but I have had better. Other appetizers I saw being served looked very good and those folks seemed pretty happy. Definitely a cool enough place that I will go again. read more

Came here with my mom on for a girls afternoon. It is such a darling, charming little place. The wine list was creative. Although the prices are high. We both ordered entrees along with our wine. I had the halibut & my mom had the pork chop. Food is displayed in a fancy manor-fitting. I loved the fish but I loved my moms pork even more! We would both go back for it once more, best pork chop either of us had ever had! We also splurged & ordered the bacon wrapped dates- turned out to be the best part!! read more

We came in on the 18th of November, I was excited to try a new place out of our area. The food was good as was the wine, the staff was also nice. I hate to say this but I cannot refrain, get better musicians in please, the fellow playing and singing was not good! read more

I've been coming to Reds for their Thursday night bluegrass jam for several months. I've gotten into the habit of coming early as the food is so darn good and it's such a friendly place. I've tried about all there is on the menu at one time or a others. My favorite is the Veggie flatbread. With the Balsamic over the top it's filling but not overly so. I'm not really a wine person but can say there is a small but very nice selection of craft beers on tap. I appreciate them offering a place for music several nights a week. read more

Finally a wine bar in Kent, located in Kent Station the new retail center in the heart of Old Kent. A cozy feeling place with great food. Try the assorted cheese and meat dishes. The service is overall good but I think being only there for 4 month they are still getting the hang of things but a very friendly staff. When the place is busy it is hard to find a seat but otherwise hit the bar stools at the bar you can always find a seat or two. Great area with couch and fireplace for comfort. This will be the place for my wife and I to hang out. A classy place that is not the sport bar feel but still a place to have fun to meet good people. read more

Stop in to kill time & get a quick bite. Conveniently located near the Kent Station. Seem to have some an ok selection of wine and tapas to chose from. Got the charcuterie & their house Chardonnay. It wasn't bad but the service was definitely lacking. The server was barely there and had to flag her a few times just to get me started on the ordering. Perhaps she was not having a good day that day? I'm a maybe if I want to give this another try whenever I'm in the area. read more

Great service ... very good food and great wine !!! Definitely will be a forever customer !!! Just from one time visiting !! Great first impression read more

Great place for food AND wine! Love coming here! Everything is good. I love the stroganoff. Staff is always friendly.
