Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Renton

This was our first time at the Pink Door, one night I will never forget. From the moment we arrived the ambience made the experience feel classy. The decorations and lighting throughout fit the mood. Customer service and special request were accommodated positively and without hesitation. The menu was simple but not lacking, wasn’t an overwhelming amount to decide nor was it too small to not have options. The food was made at a high level with attention to detail and exquisite taste. It is where I proposed to my now fiancé and provided a night I can’t forget and will be somewhere we come for our special days. Go to the pink door, you will not be disappointed.

Our favorite hidden gem in Southcenter. Mainstream italian-style food served by experienced and competent staff. All the standbys: various fresh-made pastas with well-chosen ingredients, a rack of lamb and various fish. I like the beef medallion dish, especially the "reduction". I asked to have lower-carb mushrooms substituted for the default pasta and they happily complied The dessert tray, from which you can select at your table after your meal, always includes a dozen or more of a wide variety of treats.

If you need a quiet relaxing place this is it!!!! No pressure to end and gracious waitstaff!!!

Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.

The food was over the top amazing! I had the chopped Duke salad with scallops and shrimp and my husband had the cioppino which he said was the best he’d ever had. Service was excellent. Only downside for me was the noise level which was intense. Guess it’s because it’s such a popular place but really wish there was a way to make it less noisy. I don’t know how other popular restaurants do it. I honestly think that we would have eaten there again tonight since we were still in the area, but I couldn’t stomach the noise.
