About this business

Housed in a century old building that's a prominent historical landmark in Renton, Melrose Grill has gone through a number of incarnations ranging from a hotel cafe and saloon to a soda parlor in the course of its rich history. A fire in 1928 and numerous change of ownerships later, the Melrose can finally be said to be back to its former glory, winning rave accolades and a slew of awards with statewide acclaim. The interiors, though updated to modern standards makes no effort to let go of its past with blown up historic pho... read more

Great 1930's Steak House – 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 als... read more

Good Steak @ Competitive Prices – A restaurant that delivers quality steak at competitive prices is great, but Melrose has a few rough edges to smooth out. The staff is friendly and attentive. The menu is small, so come to expect only about six versions of steak. When evaluating mid-priced steak houses, I cant help but to compare to Outback. The final product, the steak, is just as good. The prices, are close (Melroses selection is a bit more pricey). Be sure to look out for the seasonal specials. The surf and turf was the b... read more

Great service, great steaks – Better than Outback--not as good as Daniel's. Pricing is somewhere between the two. If you are celebrating a special occasion, spend the extra money for the atmosphere and experience. As a neighborhood steakhouse, I recommend Melrose Grill. Our first visit found the restaurant charming with the look of a steakhouse--comfortable booths, nice old wooden bar, art-glass hanging lamps, mosaic (needing restoration) tile floor entrance, and friendly, attentive staff. Our waitress was very pleasant and ... read more

Mmmm....good – Wow! You'd never know Renton had something this good to offer! Mouth watering steaks, great service, etc, etc. Very busy though, so you must get there by 5 p.m. if you don't want to wait a minimum of one hour for your table. You get alot for your money. Only drawback is, their steaks are a bit oversalted. I often go home drinking tons of water into the night......The atmosphere is romantic, but kids will love this place too. Nostalgic pictures adorn their walls. Parking is at a premium in this neighborhood. On... read more

Wow what a price, and service! – Steak with all the trimmings, included, not a la carte, and service that is most excellent. A small place in Renton with all the atmosphere you'd want in a pre-war building, the Melrose is a tiny restaurant with a limited menu, but the items they have are perfect. Prime steak, no kidding, and make sure you choose the parmesan potatoes, and the Cesar salad if you are an anchovy lover, there's plenty of tang to the dressing. The wine list is minimal but what they have is excellent. What a great... read more

Great food worth the hassle – I've been there twice, once with a group of friends. Both times the food was outstanding, the service was great, and the prices are what you can expect for a marvelous meal. However, since not all of our party arrived at once, we were told we would have to wait until everybody was there before being seated. As this is not a large restaurant, it could be expected, but we arrived early and there was almost no one else in the place. Barring that, I would recommend this to anyone wanting a great ste... read more

Sunday Night at Melrose – After reading about the great reviews of this place, I decided to check it out. I went there on a Sunday night with a friend. The place seemed pretty quiet from the outside, but it was fairly busy inside the restaurant. We were seated very quickly, but it took a while for our server to take our order. Definately, not the great service I expected. My friend was also displeased when he found out they were out of Sirloin Steaks. When the food came, it wasn't hot, and they cooked my NY steak medium-well... read more
