I been dropping in and out of this nice little kept secret for not kidding..... 25 years now!…read more It's a great little smokehouse secret! Something for everyone here! Was bar top this visit passing through town through business this week. Chris was my main server today. What a gentlemen! And so accommodating to me! I had the Pork chop tonight without dissatisfaction! With the well thought out mash potatoes, and beans! It was hardy! And filling! There is so many special other things that you can order here on the smoke side meat side! After dinner engaged with Melissa and Desiree. They are all engaging and a fun quick chat! For me really nothing not to like about this well long established place! Always consistent place. Job well done at Sharps!

Well we tried Sharps again and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. We had dined here a few weeks…read moreago and I gave it a 2 out of 5 review. This time it was much better. We were pleasantly greeted and escorted to a table. The hostess started to seat us in an area that the tables are placed very close together and next to a table full of adult diners. We had our grandchildren with us and I could see that wouldn't work so I asked to be placed at a booth which wouldn't be so intrusive to other diners and she was able to accommodate us. There is no denying that tables are placed very close together here. Our waiter was very professional and the staff worked as a team. The food here is very good and the servings are large. With that said I gave it a much better review this time. I just can't give it a 5 because of the seating. I would recommend trying it. If you don't mind dining in tight quarters this a great place for good food.

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

At first glance I was not very impressed but we needed food and this was the closest spot. The wait…read morestaff was very nice and attentive. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. All in all it was a pretty good dinner and was not disappointed. The ambiance is a little rustic but I guess that's what you'd expect from a Steakhouse? I would def come back again to sample some of the other options. Come give it a try!

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!

I arrived at almost 6 on a Monday night and was surprised the place was almost empty. It's fairly…read morelarge inside and has a decent happy hour, but there just weren't a lot of people dining at that hour. We ordered the seasoned fries and bulgogi tacos off the happy hour menu. The fries were skinny, fried and seasoned well and were a good portion size. The bulgogi tacos were also fairly large but I thought the flavor was lacking. The meat wasn't seasoned as much as I expected for bulgogi and the sauce didn't enhance the flavor....just made it messier to eat. Per the server's suggestion, I ordered the lomo saltado. The meat was seasoned well and flavorful, and there was a good mix of veg on the plate. Plenty of other things caught my eye on the menu so I may have to come back to try more!

Make reservations ASAP!…read more Came here with friends. Price was very reasonable for a steakhouse. Probably the best steak I have had at a restaurant. So flavorable and cooked to perfection. We also added a lobster and it was cooked just right and great portions. Caesar salad also was so good. We got all sorts of desserts and everything was delicious. Would absolutely come back again

My husband and I made a 7:30 reservation at Melrose Grill tonight to celebrate our anniversary, the…read morehope to keep things low-key and local. When we arrived, the lobby was absolutely packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder. We battled the chaos of the hostess stand, checked in and waited patiently, assuming they were simply running behind. But as time went on, and every single group and couple - some who arrived well after us started being seated. Then more groups. Then more. Eventually the lobby had completely emptied out while we were still sitting there wondering if we'd somehow been forgotten. After 15 minutes, 30, 45, then over an hour with zero communication, no apology, no status update, and no acknowledgement whatsoever, my husband finally asked if we had been skipped. By that point, even walk-ins had been seated while we sat there feeling honestly pretty foolish. The entire evening had been soured. We were sitting in the cobwebbed infested dusty lobby for an hour bummed out and felt completely deprioritized. We decided to just leave rather than spend $200 on a dinner experience that already felt awful before even reaching a table. What's the point of making a reservation if it isn't honored or even acknowledged? No stars. Chaos. Looked dusty, staff needs training :( Lobby area needs a deep clean.

My daughter has been raving about this place for some time now. We met there for a Sunday lunch…read more Well let us start off this way... I am sorry I did not try it sooner!! She has been going on and on about this "Fire Breather" burger for a bit. First things first, exceptionally clean and friendly place. Seated quickly and very attentive to us and the rest of the patrons there. Broad selection of food and adult beverages. Breakfast till 1:00 pm on Sat/Sun so it was hard for me to decide what I wanted as I had my mind set on the "Pub Club" but noticed that they had Chicken Fried Steak, oh the choices.... Not disappointed on the "Pub Club" it was Yumi! It was full of all the things that make a "Club Sandwich", the kicker was it had "pepper bacon" on it! My sandwich was piled with meat cheese, tomato, and lettuce. Now this is where it gets interesting, I added some of the aforementioned "Fire Breather Sauce" to it, just a bit. It is freakin Habanero Pepper Mayo(ish) sauce, WOW or should I say YEOW! Not just hot but exploding with flavor. As stated, my lunch partner had the "Fire Breather" burger w/ added Pepper Bacon and Avocado. It was more than a mouth full of dripping yum. Meat done perfectly, nice fresh avocado, thick pieces of pepper bacon done to perfection. After seeing and eating the pepper bacon I decided to take home a BLTA with cheddar cheese. The onion rings were some of the best I have had in a while. Beer was cold and wet! Overall, a great meal and you will too. The words of the day today are "Pepper Bacon"

The staff is very friendly, as always. Our server gave us great recommendations! We love the atmosphere here, very casual, no pressure to rush. Breakfasts came out fast. Our server recommended the corned beef hash. It had bits of corned beef. I tried the Fiesta Scramble. Nice thick sourdough toast. The scramble was tasty. It came with jo-jo type potatoes (which are not a fav). Hubs got chicken fried steak. He's a bit of a connoisseur and said it was decent. This was a nice low key spot for weekend breakfast. It is 21+ only.

Presentation is high class! Drinks are great.

Otherwise, a definite must.

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!

This was my second time going to Salty Blue. On my first visit I had their fried seafood combo,…read morewhich included fried fish that was not cod. In my previous review I admitted that it wasn't my favorite kind of fried fish. This time I ordered fried shrimp with the optional salad. Six large shrimp with a large salad. Wonderful. I'm originally from New Orleans so good fried shrimp makes me feel happy. The inside can be a bit loud. 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.

Was honestly leaning toward a full 5 stars after this visit, but since I've only eaten here once so…read morefar I'll hold that final judgment until I make it back again which I absolutely will soon. The fish burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh tasting, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately know someone in the kitchen actually cares. Easily one of the better fish sandwiches I've had around Seattle recently. The chowder was the only thing that held me back slightly. For my personal taste it was a bit more watery than I typically prefer, as I usually lean toward a thicker richer chowder. That said, the flavor itself was excellent and honestly overcame most of that initial thought after a few bites. What truly stood out though was the service. Absolutely fantastic people here. Genuine, attentive, welcoming, and the kind of staff that makes a place memorable beyond just the food. That level of attentiveness and care honestly feels rare nowadays and they deserve full marks for hospitality alone. Overall this place left a very strong impression on me. Great seafood, quality ingredients, and a spot I'm genuinely looking forward to revisiting soon. I can already tell this may end up becoming a regular stop for me after another visit or two.

Good day, Yelpies,…read more There's something quietly remarkable about a restaurant that survives not just decades, but generations of changing tastes--and still manages to feel relevant. This establishment, which first opened its doors in Seattle in 1967 before relocating to Sea-Tac in 1976 under the guidance of the original owner's wife, carries with it more than just longevity--it carries legacy. Its name traces back to Lima, Peru, inspired by Las Trece Monedas--a folkloric tale of a humble young man who, armed with only thirteen coins, pledged unwavering love and devotion to win the heart of a wealthy man's daughter. It's a fitting origin story for a restaurant rooted in perseverance, passion, and heartfelt hospitality. Half a century later, those same values echo through every plate and every interaction. The menu delivers consistently satisfying fare, and the service operates with a rhythm that only comes from years of refinement. But perhaps most impressive is the sheer ambition of it all--executing quality food around the clock, 24 hours a day, is no small feat. It's the kind of operational endurance that deserves recognition on its own. Whether you arrive for breakfast at dawn, a late-night dinner, or anything in between, this is a place that meets you where you are--and feeds you well when you get there. Cheers --The Dutchman
