Renton has been up and coming for several years. This steakhouse is in a 1901 building with the original bar. Feels and acts like an old diner, until you get the food! Great deals on top quality steaks. Rather surprising especially when you get the bill. Make a reservation.

A GREAT restaurant for a special night. Fresh, creative food with a superb staff. Make reservations. For 2020, they often have a Farmer's Market-like spread on the sidewalk during the day, where they sell some of the produce, wine and bread that they usually would be serving.

Drinks & Nightlife

Famed, eclectic music room with local, national and international acts. It's highly possible you'll either hate or love what you hear depending on the day, but it's all REAL. Fairly good food with spotty service, but if you hit it right it could be a night to remember.
