We came here because my fiancé had a gift voucher or some kind of promo for this restaurant. It was kind of small from what I saw, very easy to miss when driving by, and despite the fine dining prices and reservations required, the staff were very casually dressed. Our waitress was friendly enough but there was something a little off about her demeanor, my fiancé agreed. Maybe she was just having a really bad day and was just trying to push through it. We ordered the shrimp tequila appetizer and it was *chef's kiss* delicious. The sauce was definitely the star and definitely good to dip your bread in. We ordered drinks, one thing I will say is they do not know how to make a vodka dirty martini, which was a bummer. First time i've ordered one and it came out pink and tasted really gross. For the main course I ordered the Mac n cheese with bacon and my fiancé got some kind of pork shank. He was blown away by his dish, said it was one of the best things he'd ever had. I was less impressed with my dish. It was good enough I suppose, but the cheese consistency and richness was very reminiscent of velveeta shells and cheese. I like velveeta shells and cheese so it was good, it didnt really match up to the price though in my opinion. I had two cocktails, my fiancé had a beer and a margarita (he said the margarita was horrible) and then everything in the pictures came out to $183. Definitely not worth that price accounting the food and disinterested waitress.

unfortunately, everything i had wasn’t worth the price that i had paid. the crispy pork shank was overdone - dry and slightly burnt. the wagyu burger sounded promising but bacon jam was overly sweet and really had one note.

Perfect wine bar and restaurant for a date night in Renton. Red House is literally a small red house and outdoor patio converted into a small restaurant with a wine bar that you can sit at and tables where you can share a meal with others. Despite the size you don’t feel too crowded. If highly recommend a cold white wine on a hot which they bring out in a bucket of ice for you. For food I’d recommend the shank and any of the pasta dishes. Be warned that the portions are huge!
