Anna Y Went to Feast Buffet on a weekend evening and it was very busy. There was a good variety of food, including seafood like lobster and crab legs, along with sushi, dim sum, hot dishes, and lots of desserts. Plenty of options to choose from.

Nadia S Tried Clove Indian Cuisine and honestly had a great experience. It’s a modern Indian restaurant with a nice vibe and plenty of seating, so it didn’t feel cramped even though it was pretty busy. We started with drinks and ordered the Cardamom Rose Martini and the Blood & Blanco. Both the cocktails were really unique. The cardamom one especially had this really nice balance of floral + spice. For appetizers, we got the Tandoori - Ajwaini Shrimp, and Chicken Malai Tikka. Everything came out hot and flavorful, but the standout for me was definitely the Ajwaini Shrimp - super unique flavor and something I’d absolutely recommend trying. Our server, Teja, suggested most of these dishes and he was genuinely friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu, which helped a lot. For mains, we shared the Zaika Shahi Paneer and the Latpata Chicken. Both leaned more toward a North Indian flavor profile, rich, creamy gravies with lots of depth. I didn’t get to try any dessert this time. If you’re in the area and want good Indian food that stays true to classic flavors but also has a modern twist in some dishes, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Ying-Fang Lai We used to drive to Leavenworth for Schweinshaxe (ham hock) and this place is much better! Will come back again. It came with a sizable salad too! Definitely shareable. I’m saving some sauerkraut and the pork bone to make a hearty soup later!

Xander A hidden gem on the edge of the woods, this spot has a welcoming charm and a loyal local following. The menu is reasonably priced, and every dish that passed by looked absolutely delicious. I ordered the pizza, and it was easily the best I’ve had in quite some time, especially impressive for the Seattle area. The service was warm and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. As someone new to the neighborhood, I was pleasantly surprised and truly grateful to have discovered this place.

Kai’ula Good food great service. Love the chips and salsa appetizer and the freshly made tortillas. Been a long time customer even at their previous location. Never disappointed. One of the few Mexican restaurants where I can get Menudo anytime and it’s always been great.

Amanda Medhaug I absolutely love The Melrose Grilll! It is definitely more of a special occasion place for my family, but oh so worth it to splurge when you can. The food is always delicious, the service is amazing, and the atmosphere is lovely. The desserts are fresh / hand made. If I could go more often I would.

Gracie Grace Came here for my sons 1st birthday and O’Shea the manager, always make it a great time to eat at Applebees. He always makes me feel welcome and he provides 10/10 service and attentiveness. The server Scott, was so kind and helpful to my kids. If you have a celebration or even just a night out to eat, i recommend the Applebees.

Frankie Stopped in here on a whim during breakfast, and all I can say is wow! I was pleasantly surprised! It is your typical bar atmosphere. However, at 9am on a Sunday there is hardly anyone there. The service was good and quick. I ordered the Denver omelet with a biscuit. Wow, just wow! The biscuit!!! I cannot stop thinking about it. The server let me know they are made in house! So good. The omelet itself was very delicious and stuffed full of veggies, ham and cheese. Overall, great experience. We have found ourselves another local breakfast spot! Id definitely recommend stopping in for some good ol fashion diner/bar breakfast. Big servings so you wont be disappointed! And they serve breakfast all day!

Dixon Rife This is a nice quaint restaurant located in downtown Renton. I’ve been here a few times for lunch and breakfast. The atmosphere inside the restaurant had a casual neighborhood and unique with the ‘railroad’ theme. They have a bar area and a dining area as well as an outdoor area. you allow dogs when the outdoor patio is open (warmer months / days) & they provide a water bowl! Prices are pretty fair. They have a wide range of beer on tap and a pretty extensive menu and breakfast until 2 PM I believe (don’t quote me, but they definitely serve breakfast into the early afternoon) I will say parking can be a little bit of a hassle if they’re super busy just because they don’t have a very big dedicated parking lot. There is parking available on the street. Also have some pretty good mock tails if you don’t drink alcohol. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and attentive I would definitely recommend this restaurant for people looking for a nice atmosphere and good food!

Andrew Faulkner Ive had good pizza here but my last two experiences have not been great. The first time had loaded fries that had barely a sauce applied. Wings that were drier than dirt instead of coated with the glaze offered. This second and final experience ended with a half cooked pizza, dough thats more gooey than cheese and yet a burnt crust. I wish the pepperoni was even crisp. The crew there were really nice, almost shocked that I had this last experience. The rest of my order was okay but I was unable to get a refund on the pizza since I did a combo deal. Doubtful I come back, even for a free pizza. Thanks for the good times Smoking Monkey.

Anissa Bark Great place to get pizza. The vibe was great, and our server was very attentive, nice, and great. I ordered a personal pizza. It came out piping hot and exactly what I wanted. Ranch wasnt an extra cost either.
