    manila clams
    Chris E.

    It's not clear to me how the Southport development is really doing economically, but this restaurant is still legit being inside the Hyatt and with spectacular views for this area. Parking has been modernized with the plate readers and QR code, though initial registration can be a little annoying. Food is great and I'm confident that the drinks here are decent as well - all the right pieces are in place. It's just highly unlikely I'd ever do business or a HH down in Renton. Service was outstanding - from our waitress to some of the runners and bus boys. They get it.

    Stunning views of Lake Washington paired with a. Pretty eclectic menu. They were out of the smoked salmon so we opted for the manilla clams and the fries chicken and French toast. Tha manilla clams were a bit under slated but perfectly cooked. The bread was a bit over charted but when asked they provided another slice for us to gobble up the garlic and juices. The chicken thigh was hammered out coated in a crisp coating, not greasy. There was some sort of orange butter on the chicken but it could probably be skipped as I wasn't sure if it provided anything to the dish. The portion on the chicken is VERY generous as the 2 large chicken piece are accompanied by 5 pieces of french toast. Service was really nice and the space is open and inviting. Great place to stop on the way to or from SeaTac and the offer complimentary 2 hr parking as they are located in the Hyatt Regency.

    Six years later and Water's Table deserves an update - but still remains 5 stars! My original review was just for their HH, but I've been for brunch several times since then. My most recent brunch experience was for after my sister's high school graduation. I was tasked with finding the brunch spot for the family to celebrate at (as per usual) and Water's Table immediately came to mind for their stellar menu, gorgeous views of Lake Washington, and let's not forget... BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS. My family was wowed by the view and everybody was happy with their food, which I wasn't surprised by. I had to call and make a reservation as you can't make a reservation for parties larger than 6 online, and they were happy to accomodate. Gratuity is automatically added for a group that size, just fyi. Our waitress was awesome and very personable the entire time during our visit. I will say this isn't the best spot to take kids because their kid's offerings are abysmal, but my son wanted the order of their Ricotta Pancakes. WAY too freakin' big for him as it's a regular adult entree, but he was happy with the amount of powdered sugar on top. My husband went with their fried chicken and french toast which was a BEHEMOTH of a dish. Absolute unit of a portion. It was topped with a spicy butter and I'm not sure how, but he finished the ENTIRE PLATE. So, that should tell you how it tasted. I went with the Crab Benedict and was a little surprised that it was actually a Crab CAKE Benedict, and not with lump crab like I expected (my dad assumed the same). After we altered our expectations we both agreed that it was good. Other table items included the Croque Madame and Three Little Pigs Scramble, all of which was also enjoyed. And remember how I said bottomless mimosas? You read that right! One mimosa is $12 and bottomless is $22 (if I'm remembering correctly) so I mean... Let the girl math do the talking here. It just makes sense. They have four flavors: cranberry, orange, grapefruit, and pineapple. Pineapple was my favorite - and they do not skimp on the champs. We don't make it here often but it proves to be a consistent favorite. Definitely the spot for a fun summer brunch if you're in the area!

    Really disappointed honestly. I love this restaurant and the food is usually great, but finding a piece of eggshell in my meal while I was finishing eating completely threw me off. Stuff like that really shouldn't happen, especially at a place like this.

    Really good group lunch experience on a Thursday afternoon. We were in a private room and it was perfect for our gift exchange and conversation. The server was great, really attentive and more than pleasant. The food was a 10/10, everyone agreed! Perfect sizes and seasoned to perfection. The fries/frites are top shelf. Fluffy inside and perfectly crisp on the outside.

    Patio area below the restaurant level.

    Food was delicious and the service was great. We also enjoyed the water views. Will definitely be coming back.

    Halibut & fries

    We came in 12pm on a Wednesday and it wasn't busy at all. The service was great, our server he was friendly and attentive to everyone. My favorite was the clams, I liked the sauce it was cooked in. Not too buttery, still light and flavorful. I like the bread they served with the clams. The fried halibut is cooked well. The steak was also cooked decent. But overall the food here is 7/10 for me personally. I wasn't the biggest fan of the tacos, it was lacking flavor. The sauce for the tacos was a bit bland as well. I think this spot is great for views of the lake and just to catch up with friends or a little simple date with your partner! I'd definitely do a summer time sunset dinner here though, I'm a local to the area and the sunset here is gorgeoussss.

    Really good atmosphere and nice food The best place if you're wondering to come at evening Great service , but not enough space for a big company

    I stayed at the Hyatt Regency and gave this place a try for breakfast and dinner. Their waterfront view is absolutely gorgeous. You get to see few airplanes from Boeing which is little different than usual waterfront restaurants. Their breakfast and dinner was delicious. I tried pancakes, a fruit bowl , charcuterie board , onion rings and salad. The service was excellent for all the days I've been there.

    It has been years since we last visited. Years ago, I remember the place being bright with a neutral color theme and the food quality was just okay. Coming back, its dimly lit, they have iPads for menus, the place is a bit quiet, and the food tastes much better. We ordered the pork chop and salmon. Our friends ordered the linguini and salmon. Our friends noted the food was great. My pork chop was juicy. The husband's salmon wasnt dry at all and had good flavor. We also ordered the Grain Salad as an appetizer. We mostly finished our main dishes, but boxed the Grain Salad to finish for another day. The waitress who tended to us left us alone for the majority of the time and came to us when we needed to order, question the food/check up on us, and when we were ready to go. Parking is the only big con but i will not put that against the restaurant. There is a $0.99 service charge fee on top of the free 2 hour parking. We were about 20 minutes late of the 2 hours and were charged about $4 for it. Overall, I recommend Water's Table. Just keep in mind of the parking garage fee. There is side parking available alongside the hotel and apartment complex next door, but it is very limited.

    Still a great place, great view, great foods, great drinks, great services, and great folks. Sat outside for late breakfast that rolled over to lunch without moving so yea, I felt that comfortable that I didn't moved much at all.

    Ask the Community - Water's Table

    Does anyone know if they allow dogs on the patio?

    We are pet friendly in our guest rooms but only allow dogs at our seasonal restaurant dock & drink.

    When it's cold out, is the patio covered and have heating? The only available tables for valentine's day are in the patio.

    The patio is indeed covered. There is also heating out there; if they have the clear plastic shade drawn and the heat on it can be quite comfortable. I have dined out there in December with no issue in those conditions.

    Do you still offer the brunch buffet? It was last asked 5 years ago and a lot of places have done away with them

    We do not offer a brunch buffet any longer no

    I am coming from Houston and want to try out your brunch on Saturday. Do I need to make a reservation for 2 people?

    I recommend yes! It does get busy and you probably want to secure your spot.

    Do you take reservations and if so how many days in advance can I make that reservation?

    Yes, they take reservations. Depending if it's a special occasion you should a least 3 weeks in advance. Don't forget to put in the request for a window seat. Lake Washington view is absolutely beautiful!

    Do you still serve bottomless mimosas?

    Yes, they have bottomless mimosas for brunch with purchase of food. And there's currently (as of 5/20/22) a two hour limit so they won't let people hang out all day drinking.

    Since the Hyatt is Pet Friendly, do you allow dogs on the outdoor seating area?

    Simple answer no because per Washington State law animals are not allowed in any food establishments which the outdoor dining area would fall under. Especially since you'd have to pass through the main dining room to get to the patio. That said… Read more

    Do you have tents and heaters on the patio?

    The patio has a roof and there's heaters attached.

    Is there a kids menu?

    No, they don’t have a kids menu.

    Do you guys serve Brunch Breakfast Buffet?

    Yes, there’s a brunch buffet served on Saturday and Sunday.

    Does anyone know if they serve happy hour on the weekends?

    Water’s Table doesn’t have a happy hour. They have a bar menu which is available on the weekends, but not like a dedicated happy hour.

    Is the back deck available for rent per hour for events like a baby shower?

    Yes, it is.

    Is there any parking available other than the valet parking? I appreciate the answer, but are there…

    Hi Virginia, Currently we only have valet parking available. We validate up to 2 hours. Hope to… Read more

    Is your brunch on Sundays a buffet or a brunch menu?

    Hi Heather. We offer a breakfast buffet until 12PM, and have a brunch menu available until 2:30PM. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

    What are the restaurant hours from mon-sun?

An Asian woman sitting near us gave my friend a dirty look because he was talking loudly so I could hear him! We moved outside for a beer and more conversation and this is where we will eat next time. I have to add how personable the staff and owners are. They stopped by our table several times and we enjoyed conversations. We definitely will include Salty Blue in our lunch rotation in the future. My friend enjoyed his fish and chips.

    Came here craving a seafood boil and overall, this was the best one I've had so far!…read moreThe clams were fresh, the crab legs were meaty, the headless shrimp were perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of eggs and potatoes to soak up all that sauce. The lobster was unfortunately an overcooked, but everything else in the boil was so good that it made up for it. Speaking of the sauce -- it was SO good. We got to choose our sauce and spice level, and it had the perfect balance of flavor, spice, and heat without overpowering the seafood. It complemented everything really well. We also ordered the calamari. It was crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy and could've used more seasoning. Service was great -- our server was kind, attentive, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. They also offer combo meals, which I thought were a great value for the amount of seafood you get. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. If you're craving a seafood boil with customizable spice and solid portions, this spot is worth it!

    Kings Special with Cajun garlic butter sauce for 3 was perfect. We added Manila clams and sausage,…read moreonly because we could lol. It was fine, not our first time, met the expectations we already had in place. Our only quip is the awful gloves, they offer zero protection from all of the oil in the sauce. Next time we plan to bring some from home.

    Located in Renton with plenty of paid parking nearby as well as free parking inside Coulon Park if…read moreyou don't mind walking a bit. An abundance of seating both indoors and outdoors with an elegant display and very on theme with the elevated vibe they are shooting for. The staff was super friendly and helped answer any of our questions. We even got to meet the owner and he showed us the different rooms as well as told us a bit about his vision. I'm going to be honest; I came in with peripheral vision because of so many mixed reviews from people we know but after experiencing it ourselves, we were blown away. We ordered a bunch of dishes and drinks and it far exceeded our expectations. The flavors and authenticity were there and you can taste the elevation on the dishes as it was intended to be. Meats were tender and full of umami. Seafood tasted fresh and had the right complimenting sauces. All the sauces were tasty and were modified slightly to bring it to a broader audience. There were no leftovers. The drinks were good as well! I ordered the Fish Sauce Coffee and as gimmicky as it sounds, it brought in a saltiness to the sweet that balanced out the coffee perfectly. Will definitely come back again to eat our favorites of the meal as well as try out the rest of the menu.

    Have been meaning to try this place since I had their Wagyu skewers from a booth at a Seattle…read moreevent. I came on a weekday evening for dinner and managed to find free parking on the street. My friend somehow parked in the garage of the same building, but had trouble getting back in for her car later.. so maybe don't do that LOL There wasn't much wait for 2 people (~5min). We were given a tablet to order from which I like. The menu had descriptions of each item and pictures. We ordered the banh beo, morning glory, and the braised catfish. And rice. Unfortunately they had sold out of the skewers so we couldn't have that :c Banh beo was pretty good. The rice cake base was not quite the texture I like, but flavor of toppings and sauce was still good. Morning glory was really yummy. I liked the sauce it came with, but the stalks of the vegetable were a bit too tough. Catfish was flavorful and super tender, but a tad too salty on its own. Definitely need to eat it with rice. It's also a much smaller portion that I was expecting. The rice was disappointing :c it was a bit undercooked, so some of the grains were still gritty and hard. Ambiance was really nice. The interior is really pretty, and with the afternoon sun shining in over the lake, it feels airy, bright, and happy. Service was good too, nothing much to say there. Overall, okay. For the price, I'd expect less negatives, but I did enjoy the flavor of everything as well as the variety on their menu.

    If you're looking for a spot in the Renton area that serves authentic Chinese food, then this may…read morebe the spot for you. On our visit, they had a very steady stream of people. Many speaking mandarin, lots speaking English. But anytime I go to a place and it's not filled with Americans but the people the cuisine represents, it's always a good sign. We were immediately greeted and they have quite a few tables. Many of them are the big round tables with the lazy Susan in the middle. Typical and traditional for a family dinner experience with Chinese food. As it's meant to be served and shared with everyone. You don't typically order your own plate. On our visit we ordered the Westlake beef soup, fried eggplant with spicy garlic, seafood chow fun with gravy, and the salt and pepper fried chicken wings. Every single dish was served piping hot and fresh. The chow fun had a hint of the wok char which is super important. And each dish was delicious. The eggplant was so tasty. The garlic extra crispy and not bitter at all. The crispy coating around the tender eggplant- exceptional! The chow fun was well balanced. The seafood cooked perfectly. The chicken wings, I only wish it had more topping on it. But fried well, light batter and seasoned to perfection. The soup was light and with a little white pepper, I was so satisfied. We will definitely be back. The service was great. They were friendly. Just a tip, they don't take American Express.

The restaurant was packed with 3 to 4 people waiting. The people who were waiting mentioned it was one of their go to places. The food was tasty and we liked it. Curry Chicken was quite Good . Ordered 3 of their fried rice, including the house special that has beef, pork and chicken. Pleased with the food.
