Renton’s Finest Foods Since 1901! * Steakhouse voted #1 Western WA 2010 & 2014 * Historic Landmark in Renton
The building in which the Melrose Grill resides was established in 1901 and has served as a tavern since the days of the horse and buggy. It also operated as a pool hall, soda shop and card room during Prohibition. Recently restored, Melrose Grill kept its historic roots with the original mirror-backed bar with its rich, dark woods. The walls showcase vintage photos that highlight the transitions this grand building has gone through. With wainscoting on the walls, low-slung lamps and high ceilings the space feels as open as the West was when it was built. The Food and Service at Melrose Grill will amaze and delight your senses. We work hard to provide our customers with the finest foods available, and prepare them in a way that will tame even most particular palate. Voted #1 Steakhouse in Western WA by King 5 & Evening Ma.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone, it's already hard to get a seat, must have a reservation days in advance. This is the best steakhouse in the city! Add in the value of a Filet perfectly cooked with potatos and veggies for 2/3 the price of anywhere else, and a Manhattan that always satisfies and you will see why this is 5 stars!

I love this place, it is definitely a hidden gem in Renton. I would agree that it is not quite as good as the Met, but I would put it above Daniel's and Ruth's Chris for steak in Seattle. Keep in mind that the places listed for comparison are at least double the price.

The food and service were excellent. I had made a reservation was 45 minutes to get seated I wondered if walk in parties got seated sooner. Seemed a lot of large parties when we were just a party of two. Once seated everything was amazing.
