Melrose Grill

Visiting from Mass and all I can say is 10! I have been to the big boys east and west Ruth, Mort, Capital Grill, etc. and this one ranks right up there. In addition great wine selection. Highly recommended don't hesitate.

I go to Melrose Grill all the time with my co-workers or just friends. It's great for groups or for a nice small dinner with a friend or two. The service is always wonderful and the steak is delicious!

I can't figure out the review whining about the prices. If you go to the Melrose website and do a side by side comparison with the outback steak house the prices are about the same. And if you have ever been to Il Gaucho which this loser contemplates is better priced, then you know, that this person has no idea what he was talking about and was obviously having a bad day when he wrote his review. Melrose grill in a gem of a restaurant. It is family owned and operated; the family actually offers cooking lessons for those wanting to learn how to make a great steak. The service is great, our waitress was very upbeat and friendly, but also very professional. And the food was out of this world. I had the tenderloin and prawn 'surf and turf' but I got to sample my friends dinners which were also amazing. I went with another reviewers recommendation of the parmesan potatoes and thought that they were also very good. In the event that you can't get in due to a long wait, this same family owns Armondos across the street, an excellent Italian restaurant which is also very much worth trying.

My husband and I just returned from the Melrose Grill, and it was fantastic! Our server was friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. He made us feel immediately welcome even though it was our first time there. My husband had a filet mignon that was perfectly seasoned and very tender, although the baked potato was just a touch underdone. The local beer was good enough that I even drank a bit, and I am not a beer drinker. I had the cosmopolitan recommended by the waiter and it was delicious. I ordered the Bavarian sausage platter consisting of locally made sausage, sourkraut, garlic mashed potatoes, veggies and stone ground mustard. The sausage was melt in your mouth perfect, and was even better when using the provided condiments. We had a chocolate torte for dessert that was exceptionally decadent.

Step back in time at the Melrose Grill in Renton for dinner. The Melrose is located one block south of the main street in Renton in a nicely renovated old building that would remind anyone of an old tavern or roadhouse with it's long bar, wooden booths, beadboard walls, and dim lights. Melrose shouldn't always be remembered for it's steaks, although they are great and cooked to perfection, but for all their selections. I've had Ahi Tuna and *ack of Lamb in addition to their steaks and they were also great. They don't take reservations so be prepared to spend a little time in the bar with a great martini and really cute bartender. The prices aren't rolled back to the 30's but they are fair. If you live in the south end or "ahead of the curve' there really isn't much reason to go to the Met or "El Goucho".
