Melrose Grill

Great experience and a great steak. I had heard some good things about Melrose Grill but only went for the first time this past Saturday. The place was packed and there was a 40 minute wait. There was also no place to sit even in the bar. So they let us go to a different bar across the street to wait and they called us when our table was ready. Very accomodating!

In just shy of 40 minutes our table was ready and we were immediately greated by a pleasant friendly server. Even though the place was packed, she was very calm and took her time with us.

I'm used to eating at some of the Bellevue steak restaurants so I was a bit skeptical of how this might turn out. A review of the menu showed many promising items but only one steak was prime grade. However, the prices were about $10.00 lower than the Bellevue steakhouses AND included starter salad and vegetable.

When the steak arrived it was very nicely seasoned, a quality piece of meat, and cooked just as I had asked. Throughout the meal, the server continued to be just the right balance of attentiveness and unobtrusiveness.

Even though we were pretty full we decided to split a creme brulee for desert. Good move! It was one of the best I had every had!

So, in summary the interior and exterior ambiance is nowhere as fancy as the Bellevue places but the food is terrific, the prices much lower, and the service just right. I'll definitely be back!…

Worst Steak Ever. Well I went into the " Melrose Grill " for a nice steak dinner and ended paying $80 dollars for a lump of fat........it was the nastiest piece of meat I have ever seen. This coming from a butchers son-in-law. This nasty steak not only costed me $80 but they refused to replace it since I had already cut into it. I was digging myself a hole trying to find a single portion of actual meat on this thing. I will never go back to this place again......the worst customer service ever. I was actually told " well you shouldnt have cut into then ". Ive worked in the resturant business and that is no way to talk to any customer. They do not deserve and five stars for anything......…

Best Steak Place at Reasonable Price!. I've been a customer for the last five years spending birthday celebrations w/ my family. They are very consistent w/ their steak and always cooked to perfection. I've been to Jak's in West Seattle, Issaquah, and on 45th Ave area in Seattle. Melrose Grill is so much better, and their steaks have more flavor. Service is attentive and the price is just right.. They don't have appetizers and you will not leave this place hungry . Forget about Metropolitan Grill, Daniel's Broiler, Ruth's Chris. Melrose Grill will not disappoint you.…

A Great Steak House in Renton?....YES!. I've been hearing all the great reviews and wanting to check out Melrose Grill. I finally got the opportunity last night. We arrived Tuesday, 6pm, and got a parking spot just outside the door. We were surprised to be the first guests for the evening, but tables started filling up quickly. The service was top-notch with a very friendly waitress and very attentive supporting staff. I'm not going to say that Delmonico was the best ever, as I love Ruth's Chris & the Metropolitan Grill, but for the price the steak was very good. But I was more impressed with the vegetables & potatoes, as they were all cooked perfectly and presented very nicely. I had the cheese cake for dessert and I have to say I feel it is better than the Cheesecake Factory. Very Good! We'll definitely be back as this is going to turn into a new favorite!…
