Red House in downtown Renton never misses. 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. read more

This place was surprisingly crowded for a weekday, so my friend and I were glad we made a reservation ahead of time. 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! read more

Stopped in here for dinner and a drink, loved the cocktail variety and size here, I couldn't finish mine but it felt like a great value! The flavor on the tacos was good, but I prefer crispier pork so would come back to try something else. My friend loved her sesame pasta and the menu is a good mix of familiar favorites with a twist. Our server was so helpful and we really appreciated the blankets they had ready for us since we were dining outside. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening with a reservation and got greeted and seated quickly. The ambiance is very cozy and nicely decorated. I can just tell that the building has a lot of history. Our server was very friendly and good came out at a decent pace. Food was pretty good. We ordered the pork belly and kimchi tacos as our appetizers. It was very good, especially the pork belly, it had a nice smoky flavor. One complaint is they were a bit wet/drippy. We ordered the crispy pork shank as well. My favorite of everything we ate. Very crispy and juicy, not dry at all. We also got the wagyu burger. It was good, but it was also a bit wet and drippy. Also the burger was a bit too sweet with the barbecue sauce. Fries were pretty solid though. Everything came out to a little over $100 (we also ordered a limeade). Which was on the expensive side. Overall a decent experience but unsure if I'd come back. read more

Third time to come Back to this place and loved it each time! This time we took our young adult kids and they, too, approved! Wagyu Burgers, fried chicken sandwich, Parmesan crusted chicken breast, Mac n cheese. All generous portions, with excellent sides, so filling and so satisfying. The ambiance was just right, busy but honey and still allowing for conversation: this place is always a full house, but servers are kind, attentive and really good, there was a bit of a wait from ordering to getting the food on the table, but it was worth the wait. For dessert the table shared their skillet brownie and ice cream. All four happy tummies and smiling faces when we left. We shall be back! read more

Red House is exactly what it is - a 100+ year old red house that is a restaurant. There's a big parking lot in front so it's easy to find a spot. The ambiance of Red House is quaint and homey. Service was good and no issues. I was able to try a few items but every dish did not hit. Tequila shrimp: the shrimp wasn't too bad. They were juicy and came with garlic bread. Crispy pork shank: when the dish arrived, we knew it was overdone. It was charred. The meat was dry and tough. The risotto that the shank sat on was good but after eating a few bites, the garlic was too overpowering. Definitely would not recommend this dish at all. Wagyu burger: I liked the burger patty itself but the bacon jam really overpowered everything. The entire burger ended up being super sweet and you couldn't taste anything other than sugar. Mac and cheese (with bacon): protein is an extra cost but I added in bacon. The bacon was mixed throughout the entire dish but I couldn't really taste bacon flavor. The dish was very creamy but one note. Overall, everything was expensive and not good. Basically, every dish had one overpowering note. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back again. read more

Id give them an overall 4.5 We got a shrimp appetizer and then for entrees we chose rigatoni bolognese and pork shank. All the dishes seemed well composed and had great flavors. Everything was cooked nicely too. I only wish the bread would've been toasted a bit better (could've had more crunch to it), but a great experience overall. A bit on the pricey side, but the service was fantastic and it was a great spot for date night. read more

I've been to the Red House many times now and always walk away excited to go back. Homey, affordable and good friendly energy is in store for you. Their patio during the summer is unbeatable. Bring the pup, enjoy a sandwich and a drink and leave happy. :) read more

I lived in Renton for over 20 years and had never dined at Red House and I regret it. I arranged a group dinner here after being tasked because the reviews were so positive and I had short notice. It was one of those eeek moments as I had thought there would be five people and then was told nope, there was 12 I needed to make reservations for. I reached out to a few restaurants where either they had no availability or required a dollar amount above my authorized limit. When I reached out to the Red House I received a completely different response. They were so welcoming and friendly! You know those situations where you're stressed but you talk to someone who is so relaxed and confident you immediately relax? It was like that. They provided options if my party size grew larger and we kept in contact via e-mail. Day of the dinner came and everyone found parking easily. The large nearby lot is one of the most convenient I've seen in that area of Renton. We were seated in one of the side rooms and had a blast! Now, I won't go too much into what we ate because they have a seasonal menu keeping everything fresh and current. We ordered multiple appetizers and various entrees. Every person loved their meal. I was astounded as often it is hard to please a few people and near impossible over ten, but the team was very happy. Our waiter was a gem of a person - cool, collected, mindful he matched the energy and he ensured everyone was taken care of. No glass was left empty and the drinks were free flowing. Out of all the team dinners I have arranged this was the very best from seating to menu variety. I was thrilled. read more

This was a beautiful quaint restaurant. Walls filled with paintings, outdoor lights with ivy crawling up. We went for girls night but this could also be romantic. Service was excellent and my food was good. Nachos was a big hit for all of us. I will have to try the pork shank next time. My friends were raving about it. It was all our first visit and I can say we would come back again. read more

I came with a group of people, and our table shared a bunch of different items on the menu. We shared the roasted tomatillo and chili queso nachos, roasted beet plate, pork belly and kimchi tacos, mac and cheese, roasted butternut squash salad, and chili crisp sesame fettuccine. While the dishes were all flavorful and generally on point, standouts for me were the nachos, pork belly and kimchi tacos, and mac and cheese. Service was also friendly and efficient. Overall, this is fairly casual spot but could be nice for a cozy slightly semiformal date night. I would not necessarily go out of my way to come here again, but I would stop by if I were in the area, especially for the nachos. read more

Chicken Schnitzel and chili crisp Fettuccini - absolutely delicious. You Can just tell food is cooked with love. We also got some churros for desert and the flavor was heavenly, not to mention the top notch service from start to finish. What a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back read more

There are great hangouts and then there are GREAT hangouts. Red House in Renton is AWESOME. The cocktails are inspired and creative. The food is delicious and though sound "regular" ( macncheese, chicken sandwich, steak sandwiches,etc.) they are anything but. So many flavors combining wonderfully you hate to stop eating. Then the ambiance. Chill, romantic, business appropriate, family-friendly, it all works effortlessly. The service is attentive, not over bearing. Parking is easy, patio is intimate and spacious, inside is homey ( it IS the red HOUSE after all) This is and will be a favorite haunt for years to come. read more

The customer service made the experience here challenging. We experienced an unacceptable server who ignored our table, as well as treated us rudely. Don't waste your money or time on this rinky dink establishment. I hope the team uses this feedback to improve operations by learning how to be professional instead of inferior and subpar in every way. read more

First time at Red House and I'm thinking, why haven't I been here before?! We tried the pork shank and giant wedge salad both were delicious and shareable!

Food was not very good nor worth the price. Very cute place and they are pet friendly. Would come back for fries and drink.

I want to start by saying how kind they were with an advance phone call and checking in ahead of time! We had a group of 11 for a birthday party and made reservations through Resy which didn't go great so they called to check in! Really appreciated that!! Then we get a cute room with a nice table for all of us and room to move about! 7 adults 4 kids! The staff was very sweet, the place was clean, and everyone really enjoyed their meal! read more

The pork shank and orzo is absolutely delicious. So tasty! The chicken sandwich is also 5 stars. Eat out on the porch and enjoy the nice weather. Have a margarita or an ice cold beer. Dog friendly too! The service is fantastic and atmosphere is cozy and comfy! read more

Red House is well worth it. My husband and I came in without reservations just before 5pm on a friday and they let us know we could get in a happy hour selection if we wanted. Our waiter and host were warm and inviting. My husband got the wagyu burger and I got the special (grilled cheese with brie, arugula, caramelized onions, and a berry compote) and both were fantastic! There's a bookshelf of games you can play while waiting for food (which was not long) the ambiance is eclectic and homey. We had a wonderful experience and happily would come back read more

Located right next to a parking lot so parking was super easy. They have a great outdoor patio sitting area and there was no wait time for us. We were seated immediately. The waitress gave us some recommendations which we ordered. And the food was delicious. Beef brisket was tender and flavorful and the pork shoulder with risotto was divine. The drinks were yummy too. Definitely coming back to try other meals. read more

Truly a special place in Renton. Quiet little spaces. Good food. Easy parking. We come back a lot. And we live 39 miles north.

Amazing NEW Seasonal menu! Different menu for lunch and dinner delish! The Alaskan Salmon Toast appetizer is a go to for a family recipe passed down from a family of fisherman's. I always get the "Bees Knees" and it's a 10/10 every time. If you are real hungry you HAVE to get the pork shank and thank me later!! read more

The nachos here were fire! Shared these and the wings with friends and would definitely go again. We sat out on the patio which was cool despite the heat and enjoyed cucumber margaritas. The staff were great and made us feel at home. Love that some of the drinks were made with in house infusions and we even got tasters of things they were experimenting on. read more

Red House was recommended to my partner and I and we're so glad it was! There's free parking out front and the restaurant has a lovely patio and cozy interior where you can dine in or grab a drink. The staff were all amazing! They were super kind, accommodating, and very friendly. Now onto the food and drinks! For drinks we ordered an IPA, New York Sour, Mystery Shots, and Baja Blast w/ Bourbon which were all delicious. For food we had Tequila Shrimp, Smoked Brisket Plate, Crispy Pork Shank, and Crème Brûlée. Everything tasted amazing! The shrimp was plump, cooked perfectly, and paired well with the garlic bread. Brisket was tender, pork shank was indeed crispy, and the dessert was delightful! read more

What a cute place. Its a super old house, built in the 1920s, you can still see the original floor. Seating is divided by what used to be rooms and they have an upstairs as well. Only downside is they can only accommodate groups of 8 or less. the lunch menu isn't as large as the dinner menu but still enough choices for even the pickiest eater. I opted for a brie grilled cheese with this amazing berry compote. Absolutely delicious. Choice of sides were fries, sweet potato fries or a salad. My friend got a wedge salad and you should have seen the size of it. Two huge wedges with chicken and other toppings. Needless to say she could only eat half. they have a bar as well although since it was lunch with had iced tea. Felt sort of bad for the restaurant since there is construction right in front and the server said it would continue until May. Not to worry they are open and there is a parking lot right in front of the building. read more

Red House is on my list for regular visitation! I love the food, the service is so friendly and welcoming, they know how to make a great cocktail and have a very nice wine list. I have taken both family and friends with me to dine there and never had a bad experience. I highly recommend. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner. The atmosphere was intimate, cozy, and not too loud, so we could talk without shouting. The food was pretty good. We were challenged because I'm vegan and my friend has several food allergies, so there wasn't much we could have. My only options were two salads, removing the cheese. I got the Winter Salad without cheese and asked if they could add the chickpeas from the Poached Pear Salad, which they did but charged me $2 for it. That seemed unnecessary since they didn't take off any money for the cheese. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She did a wonderful job! read more

I've been here a few times and the food is delicious every time. It's in a nice little historic house that's over 100 years old. There's also an upstairs bar and a large selection of board games to play. On my most recent visit they had a lasagna special that was 10/10. I hope they have it more often. read more

Good food, drinks and ambience with good service. It's a little on the pricier side though.

really great food, great service! The owner is really nice also really cool house and fun vibe! Love this place!

I cannot express enough how satisfying it is to go to this establishment. From the food being rich and full of flavor, you can taste the chef's dedication in each dish. To the service with each staff being attentive, prompt, and an expert in their knowledge of the menu, and restaurant it is always a pleasant interaction. The ambiance is cozy with a unique niche touch to it. I love going to this restaurant!! read more

the service here was top notch! i got the non-alcoholic cherry limeade to drink, which was very tasty. the entire table had a few dietary modifications to our meals (salsa on the side, no cheese, etc) which were all honored. the food came out hot, delicious, and well-portioned. it's not the most fancy / upscale place, but it's nice to eat somewhere laid back and relaxed sometimes! read more

We went for a date night on a Friday. Dishonest to have rib eye sandwich on the menu for $30 and then say the meat is not rib eye but some cheaper sirloin I can buy at safeway and easily make at home. So obviously they substituted it with cheaper sirloin but the price is the same!? Well, then either the price should be changed or the menu updated. Out of tacos too on a busy friday night which again, we were there at 5pm so it's not like they sold out on that day since the place only opens at 4pm. Oh and also out of our choice of beers. And I literally had to kinda beg for extra napkins as theirs is the cheapest type and I think McDonalds has better napkins. No problem with trying to save on costs but get some better quality naptkins from Costco which I think is not too unreasonable when your prices are higher and you don't have to ask for napkins when eating a burger and your hands are greasy with french fries. I get it that times are tough but honesty matters and I would not return because there were out of the best dishes (oh the taco just happens to the cheapest appetizer at $16 lol), it seems and they are using cheaper ingredients to save costs, it seems, even napkins. And I did not think the bar guy kinda asian looking was nice at all or friendly when all I was asking was for napkins and he gave me this look like "go sit down". And would not even greet us and gave us dirty looks as we left. Weird. For a $150 date night dinner for 2, definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Charming, friendly, and delicious - the Red House is just what the doctor ordered if you're looking for all these qualities in one place. Set up in an actual house in a Renton neighborhood, each room in the Red House feels intimate and inviting, even when the house is packed on a busy night. The waiters and waitresses are unfailingly nice, and the food and drink on offer are excellent. While I was slightly disappointed to learn that the "basket of Brussels" I'd seen in pictures was a seasonal dish and not available when I was there, the grilled pork chop with mashed potatoes and salad I had more than made up for it - flavorful and filling. We stopped by the Red House on a whim because we were in the neighborhood. I'm already looking forward to trying it again - hopefully next time when the Brussels are in season! read more

When I lived in a Renton, I always meant to come here for wine or dinner. When we were in the area again, we came here for dinner. The restaurant is very cute and is aptly named. The restaurant is located on an weird corner in downtown Renton, but parking is fairly easily. It is located on a one-way street, so you can park on the street or you can park in the free lot that is in between the two one-way streets. We ate upstairs on a set of couches. It very much looks like a little house. It is very cute and a great place for a date night, girls night out or night out with family. There is a bar upstairs and downstairs. It took a little bit to get our drinks, but it was pretty busy for a Friday night. Food came out I thought a bit quicker. I had a non-alcoholic mule to drink and the brie and berry grilled cheese with a side salad. My husband had a beer and the build your own mac and cheese and added pork belly. He said it was good but wished it had more pork belly. I would come back here and try more food options - there was a lot of good looking things on the menu. read more

Solid spot to gather with friends and enjoy a meal! Our group of five all enjoyed what we ordered. Like it's name indicates this is a restaurant in a RED HOUSE in a residential area. A converted restaurant, we sat in what was likely once a living room and had the entire room to ourselves. Server was friendly and very attentive. This is the what we ordered: Appetizer: Roasted Poblano Queso & Garlic Oil Crostini. What a delicious dip to spread on toast. Highly recommended! Appetizer: happy hour nachos! We came during happy hour and for a few bucks this was a great deal! Homemade chips really thin with yummy toppings. Main dish: mussels and rice. Juicy and well seasoned, if you like mussels you will love this dish. Main Dish: Mediterranean Salad. Great dressing and loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Dressing was unique and a great flavor. Main Dish: pulled pork sandwich. Had great flavor with pickled onions. Sauce was good too. Main Dish: Mac N Cheese. You get to choose what goes with it with options from mushrooms to crab to brisket. I chose the brisket and it had a nice BBQ flavor. The Mac n Cheese was rich with several high quality cheeses in play. This was the best entree of the night. Dessert: crème brûlée. Small portion but big flavors! Dessert: fruit crumble. Served in a hot cast iron pan this was AMAZING and my favor dish of the night. read more
